How to Withdraw Money from 22Bet via SMS

22Bet has been operating for quite some time and has earned the reputation of being reliable and innovative. The service is always improving itself and adding new features. It is a real pleasure for punters to use it. But what is more pleasant than a smooth betting experience is winning! And you would definitely want to withdraw your money from the system.

But is it possible to do that via SMS code on 22Bet if you happen to not have an Internet connection? The short answer is no. 

There are various reasons for the service to get rid of this option. And in today’s article, we are going to shed some light on these causes and explain in detail how to operate this bookmaker. 

22Bet Review 

Before we plunge into researching how to withdraw money from 22Bet, we have to give an honest review of its advantages and disadvantages. To start with, this bookmaker operates in many countries. In Kenya, 22Bet got the official national license to comply with regional law. It makes Kenyan punters trust this bookie. But what pleases us more is the vast list of sports disciplines available on the service. This diversity ranges from football to CS:GO, which is impressive. 22Bet’s developers have done a great job creating applications for Android and iOS devices. However, some players complain that they work slowly on old devices. But we think that it is a manageable problem. However, what cannot be managed is a poor choice of depositing methods. This drawback makes this bookie less versatile and convenient for some punters.

Pros and Cons of Withdrawing via SMS 

22Bet is always improving its service. Over the last few years, the crew of the service has added a lot of features. But as time dictates, something must be excluded from the list of options. With digitalization and fast Internet connections, it became more obvious that it is pointless to have a service that doesn’t rely on modern technologies’ perks. But before we start to explain the advantages and disadvantages of this option, we want to explain how it used to work on 22Bet. 

1. Before withdrawing, you could check your account balance by writing down the “BALANCE” text to 29021.
2. To compose the message, you had to write W#Amount#Password and send it to 29021.
3. After that, you will get a notification that the request has been received and processed.
4. Once the withdrawal request has been processed, you will automatically get your funds on the specified account or payment method.  

As you may see, doing it was straightforward. Here are the pros and cons of this method:

Looking at this table, you would think that this method had more advantages than disadvantages. However, in practice, this method is very inefficient and old-fashioned.

Conclusion  

Now that we know how 22Bet withdrawal via SMS works, we understand that this method does not synchronize with the sportsbook’s agenda of persistent improvements and innovations. 22Bet’s staff has done a great job excelling at the quality of their betting products, like adding cybersports or developing smartphone applications. And perhaps that was the reason to make SMS betting and fund control a little more outdated. We don’t know exactly what the reasons behind its removal were. Still, in general, companies try to eliminate unpopular and inefficient options as fast as possible to cut costs.
