Before the first deposit
- Verify the account first. Unverified accounts can deposit and play but cannot withdraw.
- The Airtel Money account name must match the gambling account name or payouts fail.
- Set a deposit limit at the operator before you deposit, not after.
- Deposits are not the number that matters. Turnover is, and the game takes 3% of it.
