Troubleshooting Common Issues
Bizum option not appearing
Solution: Make sure you're using a verified Spanish betting account. Bizum is only available to accounts verified with Spanish ID (DNI/NIE). Also check that your betting account phone number matches your Bizum number.
Payment not going through
Solution: Check your Bizum limits in your banking app - you may have reached daily or monthly limits. Also ensure you have sufficient funds in your linked bank account.
Not receiving the confirmation request
Solution: Make sure notifications are enabled for your banking app. Try closing and reopening the app. If issues persist, contact your bank's support.
Wrong phone number error
Solution: The phone number must exactly match what's registered with your Bizum. Check your banking app's Bizum settings to confirm your registered number.
Deposit confirmed but funds not appearing
Solution: Wait a few minutes and refresh your betting account balance. If funds don't appear within 15 minutes, contact the betting site's customer support with your transaction reference.
