The bookmaker is owned by Harbesina Limited which is a billing company registered in Cyprus as a limited company. Betwinner is operated by Prevailer BV, another company that is licensed in Curacao and says that they operate in Uganda under requests from this jurisdiction.

They maintain their online presence in Uganda and have a customer care service handled by Ugandans. To be honest, Betwinner has very juicy offers and a range of markets that is appealing to a new punter but It is also crucial not to expose much of your personal data.

E-voucher/Wallets

Betwinner has very unique electronic voucher and wallets and online payment systems that you can use to deposit funds into your account. What’s more unique about these systems is that they offer variety of options in terms of minimum and maximum withdrawals. Of course, we shall not go deep in explaining how to register in each one of them but have summarized a table that shows the minimum and maximum deposits allowed as follows;

Cryptocurrency

Betwinner is one of the few if not the only top sports betting site in Uganda that accepts deposits and withdrawals cryptocurrency. This is a digital currency that exists only online and is not particularly governed by any government directly.

So how does it work at Betwinner? First of all, Betwinner accepts 36 cryptocurrency wallets but the most recommended one is Bitcoin because it is widely used.

You have to open up an account with your preferred cryptocurrency wallet to be able to send and also receive currencies. Choose any of the options and find out their requirements but it is easy. All available cryptocurrency networks are displayed in the cryptocurrency tab under deposit.

Then load you wallet by transferring funds from your bank or via local agents.

Once that is done, open your Betwinner account, select an option you prefer and take note of the minimum amount. Copy the unique wallet address and make a transaction from your wallet to this address. Please note that all deposits less than the minimum will not be credited. Always check your wallet address each time you would like to top up, as it may change.

Your account will be loaded and you will be ready to place your wagers.

Withdrawals

You will only be able to withdraw money from your account after completing the registration of your personal data.

Also note that about five payment systems that were used to deposit cannot withdraw money. These are MasterCard, Jetson Cash e-voucher, Skrill 1-trap and MiFinity e-wallets and Payeer payment system.

The rest of the options literally use the same procedure for withdrawing as was with depositing.

Note that if you use both cryptocurrency and e-wallets, withdrawals to cryptocurrency wallets are limited to the sum of respective deposits.

Meaning that you can only withdraw the overall amount you deposited via crypto.

Safety and security

But with this comes the question of safety and security of data. Well, the website partners with some of the most reputable financial service providers whose systems use the best technology. The website itself uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption system to protect users from fraudtsers.

I have not yet heard someone complain about their data being breached or loss of money yet but I cannot commit due to the fact that the company is not licensed and registered in Uganda. The company holds a Curacao license which could be legal in many jurisdictions but we found no information from the government or the Lotteries and Gaming Board to confirm that is the case for Uganda. So if you choose their marvelous website, it is good to apply precaution as well.

Here’s an extra layer of information for your own safety from the company:
