OPay is the most-used e-wallet in Nigerian betting and the integration quality varies a lot between operators. We measured deposit speed (time from OPay confirmation to balance update) and withdrawal speed (time from request to OPay credit) across 30 days of live testing.
The top three (SportyBet, 1xBet, Stake) settle deposits in 15 to 30 seconds and withdrawals in under 90 minutes. The next tier sits between 1 and 4 hours. Below 4 hours we did not include the operator in this list.

Frequently asked questions
All five operators above absorb the OPay deposit fee. Withdrawals are also free on OPay end. Some operators charge a flat NGN 100 to NGN 200 withdrawal processing fee on amounts under NGN 5,000.
OPay's per-transaction limit is NGN 500,000 for tier-2 KYC accounts and NGN 5 million for tier-3. Operator limits are typically NGN 1,000 minimum and NGN 1 million maximum per single deposit.
Two reasons: bank rails between OPay and the operator's settlement bank (rare), and KYC mismatch where the OPay account name does not match the operator account name. The second is the most common cause of delays. Always sign up to operator with the same name on your OPay account.
