KYC verification — 3 steps
Phone number verification at registration
An OTP is sent to your Nigerian phone at sign-up. The verified phone number becomes your Football.com username and cannot be changed later. Choose a number you control long-term.
Docs: Nigerian mobile number · OTP code
First-deposit name lock
Your Football.com account name is set by the name on your first deposit. This name is final, every future withdrawal must go to a bank account in this exact name. Pick your first deposit method carefully.
Docs: Bank/wallet name as it will appear on first deposit
6-digit payment PIN
Set a 6-digit PIN before your first withdrawal. It is separate from your login password and acts as a second factor on every withdrawal. If you forget it, recovery goes through support.
Docs: 6-digit numeric PIN (memorise; do not share)
Government ID (when requested)
For larger withdrawals or flagged accounts, support may request a Nigerian government-issued ID. Common options: NIN slip, voter card (PVC), driver's licence, international passport.

Bank account name match
The destination bank account name must match your Football.com account name exactly, including middle name and spelling. A slight mismatch is the most common reason first withdrawals stall.
Docs: Nigerian bank account in matching name
Football.com Nigeria locks the account name to your first deposit, and that single rule shapes the entire banking experience. Once your first deposit arrives from a bank or wallet held by Olawale Olabisi, you can only withdraw to a bank account in that exact name forever. There is no later override. Pick the deposit method whose name you can keep matching at withdrawal time.
The 6-digit payment PIN is a separate second factor on every withdrawal, distinct from your login password. Set it the first time you try to withdraw. If you lose it, support can reset it but the process takes time. Treat it like an ATM PIN: memorise, never share, never enter it on a page you did not reach from football.com/ng directly.
Accounts that deposit and never bet get frozen. Football.com's AML policy requires meaningful betting activity in proportion to your deposits. Using the platform as a wallet (deposit, sit, withdraw) triggers a manual review. Per nigeria-bets.com, the operator's wagering-floor rule states that the amount you can withdraw must be 1 time below the amount of your total stake or total winning, a soft enforcement of real betting activity.
Maximum payout caps are high by Nigerian-market standards. NGN 150,000,000 per single bet payout and NGN 300,000,000 daily winnings per user, both published in the Football.com General FAQ. Per-transaction withdrawal cap is ₦9,999,999. There is no crypto support and the brand operates exclusively in Naira. Card deposits via Verve, Mastercard and Visa remain available alongside the dominant fintech rails.
