Account / Recovery

Forgot your password: the recovery path

Password recovery runs through your registered email, with the phone number as a secondary anchor. Losing access to both is the hard case; here is the sequence that gets you back in fastest.

01Standard reset

  1. 1
    Open the login page and choose Forgot Password.
  2. 2
    Enter your registered email address.
  3. 3
    Use the reset link in the email within its validity window and set a new, unique password.
  4. 4
    Log in with the new password; expect an SMS prompt confirming the change.

02When the email is unreachable

If you no longer control the registered email, live chat is the route. Support verifies identity against your ID number and registered phone, then updates the email. Have your ID document ready before starting the chat; verification questions follow FICA data, and mismatches here are the main reason recovery stalls.

03When the phone number changed too

Email-plus-phone recovery is sequential: first restore the email via chat, then update the phone number with a fresh SMS check. If the old SIM is gone, tell support immediately - an attacker controlling the old number is an account-takeover scenario, and the account should be frozen until you are re-verified.

04After regaining access

Change the password again if any part of the recovery felt uncertain, review recent transactions and active sessions, and re-confirm your deposit limits. If the account was accessed while locked out, report every unfamiliar transaction to support in writing the same day.

QFrequently asked questions

How long does a reset link stay valid?

Validity windows are set by the operator and not published; use the link as soon as it arrives and request a fresh one if it expires.

Can support tell me my old password?

No - reputable operators store passwords as hashes and can only reset, never reveal. Anyone offering to 'recover' your password is a scam.

I changed my number. How do I update it?

Through live chat after identity verification; expect an SMS to the new number to confirm.

Will resetting my password cancel active bonuses?

No, but check your bonus section afterwards and screenshot active offers in case of discrepancies.
