Crash games with OPay and PalmPay
By Alex Morgan · Last updated 30 October 2026
Legal status
Since a November 2024 Supreme Court ruling, gaming in Nigeria is regulated mainly by the states (for example Lagos), with the NLRC's role limited to the FCT. Check the operator holds a licence for your state.
How to deposit with OPay / PalmPay
- Confirm the operator holds a licence for your state.
- In the cashier, choose OPay or PalmPay (or bank transfer to a generated account number).
- Enter the amount and follow the prompt to approve in your OPay or PalmPay app.
- If you're given a virtual account number, check the account name matches the operator or its payment processor.
- Once the balance appears, set a deposit limit in your account.

“—” means we have not verified this figure yet. We never guess.
OPay and PalmPay are among the most common ways Nigerian players fund betting and casino accounts. Use them only through the operator’s own cashier, and only with an operator licensed for your state (see crash games in Nigeria).
Red flags
- Account name that’s a person, not the operator or its processor
- “Agent” top-ups through WhatsApp or Telegram
- A “fee” to release your withdrawal
Compare with Paystack deposits.

Frequently asked questions
Can I deposit for Aviator with OPay?
Yes, at operators that accept OPay. Check the operator's state licence first.
Someone asked me to send money to their OPay account to fund my betting wallet. Is that safe?
No. Paying personal accounts or 'agents' is a common scam. Only pay through the operator's own cashier.
