PhonePe betting sites in India

How to deposit with PhonePe

If you have used PhonePe (or any other UPI app before for any other purchase), then you know how simple it is to top up your betting account online. As you will see, this is quite similar to paying with Paytm.

It all comes down to going to the deposit page on the site, selecting the PhonePe option, entering your virtual payment address, approving the request on your device, and that’s it!

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you out when using Indian betting sites and PhonePe.

1. Log in to your betting account and select the deposit option

   

2. Select the UPI/PhonePe option and enter the amount

   

   PhonePe may not be mentioned and the page may just say UPI.
   Since PhonePe is technically a UPI, it should not make a difference.

3. Enter the VPA

   

   You will be directed to the next page where you be asked to confirm the amount.

   After that, you need to select PhonePe UPI from the available payment methods and enter your virtual payment address.

   This virtual payment address is unique to each UPI wallet. That is, Google Pay will have a different virtual ID, PhonePe will have another one, BHIM will have another one, and so on.

   This step will be common across all sports betting sites in India.

4. Verify on PhonePe

   

   You will receive a request in your PhonePe app to complete the transaction.
   You will need to approve this payment by entering your UPI PIN.

5. You are all set to bet!

   

If you are not keen on using UPI options, you may also go with e-wallets like MuchBetter and Skrill.

How to create a PhonePe account

You don’t have a PhonePe account? Check out our guide on how to create a PhonePe account. Hint – it is super easy!

1. Download the PhonePe App

   You can get the PhonePe App from Google Play Store or directly from their website.

2. Open the app and enter your mobile number

   

   Ideally, this should be the same number which is linked to all your bank accounts.
   This will facilitate linking of your accounts to your PhonePe UPI.

3. Enter the 5-digit OTP sent to your number

   

   In some cases, you may not receive the OTP at the first try.

   Wait for the 30-second clock to run out and request for another OTP.

4. Link your accounts

   

   Now that you have logged into the PhonePe interface, the next job is to add your bank accounts.

   Note that you will be able to add only those bank accounts which are linked to your phone number.

   If your bank account is linked to a different number, then you will need to register for PhonePe with that number.

   Alternatively, you can go to your local bank branch and have them update the phone number.

5. You are ready to use PhonePe!

   All betting sites that use PhonePe will require you to begin in this manner (if you don’t have this account already).

What documentation is needed?

Until and unless you are using the PhonePe wallet (similar to Paytm wallet), no documentation is needed or KYC.

If you are using the wallet, then all you need is your PAN Card details – PAN number and PAN Holder Name. We recommend doing so any which way to avoid any hassles down the line.

That said, we also urge you to bet safely and responsibly.

Verifying your PhonePe account

KYC or account verification is fairly straightforward in PhonePe and is mandatory only for their wallet feature. That said, we still suggest you verify the account so that you comply with all the norms when it comes to safe, responsible betting.

This will also facilitate in the taxation of your bet winnings – something which we firmly believe in. To verify your account, go to your profile, scroll down, and select the ‘KYC Details’ option.

You will be asked to enter your PAN Card details as seen in the previous section. Follow the steps and you will be good to go!

Privacy & confidentiality

If you are wondering whether PhonePe is safe to use, the answer is 100% yes! All transaction data and personal information are safely, securely protected by PhonePe with advanced encryption and technologies. As a user yourself, you have the option to set screen lock and passwords on your PhonePe app to safeguard your app further.

After all, this is one of the leading UPI payment methods in India, it is only fair that they live up to the expectations when it comes to quality and consumer security.
