Booking codes and betslip sharing explained
A booking code is a short code that stores a betslip so someone else can load it in one step. You build a slip, book it in place of placing it, and the bookmaker gives you a code that anyone with an account at the same bookmaker can type in to see the same selections.
Creating and sharing a code
- Add your selections to the betslip as normal.
- Choose Book Bet or Share in place of Place Bet.
- Copy the code the site shows, or the link it creates.
- Send it by WhatsApp, Telegram or text message.
Booking a slip costs nothing and places no bet. The code works only at the bookmaker where it was made, so a SportyBet code means nothing on Bet9ja. Our booking code tool builds a ready-to-send message around your code, which saves typing the selections out for friends.
A slip with 5 legs shared on Friday night carries Friday’s prices, which matters for the next step.
Loading a shared slip
On the same bookmaker, the betslip has a box for loading a code. Typing the code there loads the selections, and in Nigeria and Ghana this is how many punters copy a friend’s weekend slip or a tipster’s acca.
- Odds update to the current price, so the total can come out lower than the shared screenshot.
- Matches that have already started drop off or show as suspended.
- Any leg can be removed, and your own picks can be added before you stake.
A slip that showed total odds of 25.00 on Friday can sit at 19.00 by Saturday morning, so the total deserves a look before you confirm.
Paid codes and sure odds
Telegram channels and social media pages sell codes promising sure odds or fixed matches. No slip is ever sure, and genuinely fixed matches are a crime, never a product sold on WhatsApp.
A paid code is someone else’s guess with a fee on top. Sellers post the winning slips and hide the losers, and a code worth paying for would make its seller money without yours.
Some pages share fake links that look like a code but open a copy of the bookmaker’s login page. Typing codes into the bookmaker’s own app or website keeps your password safe.
