Note that in some cases, you may experience difficulties when trying to open a Betking account. The most common difficulties come from date of birth and email addresses. 

If you can’t sign up using your email, that means the email you’re trying to use is tied to another Betking account. You will have to use another email as two accounts can’t share the same email address, it has to be unique.

Also, you have to be of legal age before you can engage in gambling in Nigeria and Kenya. The legal age is 18 years in these countries, hence you need to be at least 18 years old before you can complete your account registration on Betking.
