How to make a deposit in YesPlay using Capitec Pay by Ozow?

Capitec Pay by Ozow is the fastest way for Capitec clients to fund a YesPlay wallet. You pick the method in Deposit, enter your Capitec-registered cellphone number, and approve a push in the Capitec app. You do not type your internet-banking password on a YesPlay screen, and you do not send a proof of payment.

It only works if you bank with Capitec. Players at Absa, FNB, Nedbank or Standard Bank should use ordinary Ozow Instant EFT instead.

The paying account should be in the same name as your YesPlay profile. Deposits are in rand.

How Capitec Pay differs from ordinary Ozow

Ordinary Ozow asks you to log in to internet banking on the Ozow page. Capitec Pay skips that login. Ozow passes your number to Capitec. You authorise inside the Capitec app with your PIN, fingerprint or face.

That is why the cashier may list both “Ozow” and “Capitec Pay by Ozow”. Choose Capitec Pay if you have the Capitec app on the same phone as your registered number.

Step-by-step deposit

Log in on yesplay.bet or the YesPlay app.
Open Deposit or My Wallet.
Select Capitec Pay by Ozow (sometimes under Instant EFT).
Enter an amount from R20 up. The cashier often caps a single payment around R5,000.
Enter the cellphone number linked to your Capitec account.
Open the Capitec app when the notification arrives.
Check the merchant and amount, then approve.

The YesPlay balance should update within seconds. No ATM slip and no email proof.

If the notification does not arrive:

Open the Capitec app.
Tap Transact.
Tap Capitec Pay.
Open pending authorisations and approve the YesPlay payment.

Start the deposit again from YesPlay if the request has expired. Do not send a manual EFT to the SA Sportsbook accounts while you wait — that is a different method and uses your mobile number as a bank reference.

Final Words

Capitec Pay by Ozow on YesPlay is a push-to-approve payment from your Capitec app. Enter R20 or more, use the number on your Capitec profile, approve in Transact → Capitec Pay, and the wallet should update at once. If it does not, send the app screenshot to live chat or support@yesplay.bet before you try a second payment.

Common questions

Do I need a Capitec account?

Is this the same as a manual EFT?

What if I bank with FNB?
Use Ozow and select FNB. Capitec Pay will not work.

Why did I not get a notification?
Open the Capitec app → Transact → Capitec Pay and approve there. Check that the number you typed is the one on your Capitec profile.

Does Capitec Pay count toward the welcome bonus?
Usually yes, because it is Instant EFT. Check the offer text in the cashier.
