Every common question about Betloy, answered

Betloy is a sport tech platform — software utilities for bettors. The two main tools are an odds-comparison engine (compare prices on the same selection across 100+ bookmakers) and a bet-code converter (paste a code from one bookmaker, get the equivalent code on another). We don't take bets, set odds, or hold customer funds — those are the bookmaker's job. We're the layer that helps you pick which bookmaker, with what odds, and how to move slips around.

A short alphanumeric reference (typically 5-8 characters like B3US96U) that bookmakers generate when you save a bet slip. Anyone who pastes that code into the same bookmaker's load-code field gets your selections loaded onto their slip, ready to stake.

Aggregate clean-conversion rate across all supported pairs and the full year of 2025: 88.72%. The remaining 11.28% breaks down as ~7% market-mapping flags, ~4% missing-fixture flags, ~0.3% source-resolution timeouts. Popular African pairs (Bet9ja↔Sportybet, 1xBet Nigeria↔Paripesa Nigeria) run closer to 95%.

We flag it and show you exactly what we couldn't match — we never silently substitute a different market for the missing one. If you booked Asian Handicap +0.5 and the destination only has Draw No Bet, those are different bets — we tell you, you decide whether to drop that leg or keep the rest.

Median 2.4 seconds, 95th percentile under 5 seconds, depending on how busy the source bookmaker's slip-API is. Telegram bot conversions are generally faster because we cache the destination bookmaker's market state more aggressively.

Football is by far the deepest. Basketball, tennis, eSports, MMA and other sports are all supported — but market depth on the destination bookmaker varies, so the cleanliness rate is slightly lower for niche sports than for top-flight football.

No — odds are bookmaker-specific. The converted code carries the destination bookmaker's current odds for those selections, not the original odds you saw on the source bookmaker. If shopping for the best price matters, use the Odds Scanner first.

Booking codes for matches that have started usually can't be re-staked at the original odds, regardless of whether you convert. Convert before the first leg kicks off; afterwards the conversion is informational only.

100+ operators across 15 African markets plus international and crypto-first sportsbooks. The complete list is at the All Betting Sites A-Z directory — green entries are live, grey entries are on the request list.

Yes — every grey entry on the A-Z directory has a "Request" link that adds the operator to our build queue. Or email hello@betloy.com with the operator name + country + URL. Demand is the single biggest signal we use when prioritising new operators to add.

No. Betloy never asks for or uses your bookmaker login credentials. We only need the public booking code reference — which is designed to be shared. Your bookmaker account stays untouched and unlinked to Betloy.

Six weighted criteria: licensing strength, market depth per fixture, mobile experience, payment-method coverage, payout speed, and customer service. See the Top Betting Sites methodology for the full breakdown. Rankings are not for sale.

No. Where we have an affiliate relationship with an operator, outbound links carry rel="sponsored" per Google's guidelines, but ranking position and review tone are based purely on the methodology criteria.

Country pages weight local factors — local licensing (NLRC for NG, BCLB for KE, WCGRB for ZA), local payment rails (Opay vs M-Pesa vs OZOW), local league depth (NPFL vs KPL vs PSL). The same operator often performs differently in different markets, so the per-country picks reflect that.

Yes — free accounts get a monthly conversion allowance with no time limit. Paid plans (Individual, Business) raise the allowance and add priority processing during peak hours. See the pricing page.

Each conversion uses one credit. Free accounts get a monthly credit allowance; paid plans get higher caps. Some specialised actions (like the Odds Scanner copy-to-clipboard, or using Risk Trimmer to harden a slip) cost more credits — clearly labelled at point of use.

Card (Mastercard, Visa, Verve), bank transfer, Opay, Paystack, Flutterwave for African users. International users can pay via Stripe (card) or PayPal where supported.

14-day no-questions-asked full refund on any annual plan. Monthly plans are non-refundable mid-cycle but you can cancel anytime to stop the next charge. Annual plans cancelled after the 14-day window get a pro-rata refund for unused full months. See Terms § 8.

No. Conversion credits expire 30 days after the billing cycle they were issued in. Unused credits don't roll over. This keeps the pricing model simple and the unit economics predictable.

Search "@BetloyBot" in Telegram, or open t.me/betloy. Tap Start. The bot walks you through the first conversion in 30 seconds.

Same conversion engine, same 88.72% success rate, same 100+ bookmaker support. The bot is faster for users who already live in Telegram and don't want to switch apps. See /telegram-bot/ for the full feature comparison.

Yes — link your Betloy account inside the bot (/login) and your paid-plan credits work seamlessly across the bot, the website, the API and the embeddable widget.

Yes — REST API with conversion, scanner, and analyzer endpoints. Free tier with rate-limited access; paid tiers for production use. Full docs at /api/.

Yes — the embeddable Widget drops a working converter into any page with three lines of HTML. Affiliate revenue share available for partners who direct sign-ups through their widget.

Free tier: 60 requests/hour. Paid tiers: from 600/hour (Individual) up to custom limits (Business / partnerships). See the API docs for current numbers.

Not for the first few conversions a day — the website allows anonymous conversion within free-tier limits. Create an account if you want to track your usage, set up a paid plan, or use the API/Telegram bot.

Betloy is a sport tech / software-utility platform, not a sportsbook. As a software utility we don't take bets, hold customer funds, or operate as a gambling business — so the gambling-operator restrictions in your jurisdiction don't apply to us in the same way. However, you are solely responsible for checking that sports betting itself is legal where you live before using any bookmaker (whether or not you reach that bookmaker via Betloy). We don't make that determination for you.

No. We are not a betting operator and don't need a sportsbook licence (NLRC, BCLB, WCGRB, UKGC, etc.) because we don't accept stakes or hold customer funds. For outbound affiliate marketing we register with each market's affiliate-marketer regime where required.

Yes, but our product is primarily tuned for African markets. International users can use the converter on global / crypto-first bookmakers; we don't actively promote ourselves in markets where our service isn't useful or compliant.

Strict 18+. Every page carries the 18+ badge. We don't knowingly accept users under 18; if we discover an underage account, we close it immediately. See our Responsible Gambling page.

HTTPS-only across the entire site. Passwords hashed with bcrypt. Database access restricted to a small list of named engineers. We never sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing. See full details in our Privacy Policy.

Email + password hash (if you have an account), the booking codes you paste in (to do the conversion), basic usage analytics. We do NOT collect bookmaker login credentials, banking details, or biometric data. Detailed in Privacy Policy § 3.

Email security@betloy.com. We have a published bug-bounty channel and don't pursue good-faith security researchers acting under our terms.

Our Responsible Gambling page lists confidential, 24/7 helplines for Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, plus international resources. None require giving your full name. None cost anything.

We're not a sportsbook, so we don't process stakes — limits are enforced by each operator you have an account with. Every regulated African operator must offer deposit limits and self-exclusion. Use them.

Yes — email legal@betloy.com requesting account closure with a "no-restore" flag. We action within 24 hours and won't allow the same email to register a new account for at least 12 months.

Because the industry's standard responsible-gambling content is patronising and rarely useful. We try to write it the way actual punters need to read it — practical, non-judgemental, with real helplines and real tools. See our blog post on the topic.
