  • What primary school did you attend
  • What was your first pet’s name
  • What are the last 4 digits of your childhood telephone number
  • What is the street name you lived on as a child
  • What is your mother’s maiden name
• You should have answered some, if not all, of these when you created your account. Choose one and fill in the answer, then select the checkbox to confirm you are human in the reCAPTCHA block
• Click the green password reset button, if your security question is correct then:
  • Insert your new password in the new password box below this (ensure this password is 8-10 characters long and contains both uppercase and lowercase characters as well as a number or special character)
  • Click the password reset button and confirm your new password

Tips to remember your Betway account password

Finding the right balance between a secure password and reusing old passwords is difficult. Try the following tips to use a secure password that you can remember.

• Use 8-10 Characters.
• Use Uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z + a-z).
• Use a number and or a special character (0-9 + !@#$ etc).
• Do not use your birthday or cellphone number.
• Do not use words or names that are easy to guess or that are public knowledge in respect of you (don’t use passwords like password, or the name of your spouse or pet).
• Character shifts like Z instead of s or 3 instead of e are not as secure as they once were, but misspelling things in a way you can remember can make your password memorable and secure.
• Multiplying or adding to your cellphone number, birthday or cellphone number can make it easy to remember a simple formula that, when added to an important number, becomes a secure password.
• Using a password generator can create a randomly generated password; some of these also use mnemonics that let you remember a phrase whose first letters become your secure password. (Peter eats eight apples and then shouts out loudly, Can represent the password Pe8aat!ol)
• Password managers on your phone can remember and save passwords, filling them in automatically when you need them, ensuring security for your Betway account password.
