HUMO

HUMO is a national bank card payment system in Uzbekistan, run by the National Interbank Processing Centre (NIPC), a joint-stock company. The Central Bank set it up after a major outage of the UzCard system in September 2018, unveiled the HUMO name and logo in February 2019 after a public vote, and planned a full launch by the end of that year.

How Do HUMO Deposits Work at Betting Sites?

1. Log in to your account at a licensed Uzbek bookmaker and open the deposit section.
2. Choose HUMO and enter the amount, within the limits shown on screen.
3. Confirm the payment with the SMS code sent to the phone number linked to your card.

At OltinBet, one of the two bookmakers licensed in Uzbekistan, HUMO is offered for deposits and withdrawals.

Can You Withdraw Winnings to a HUMO Card?

Yes. Licensed bookmakers pay out to a HUMO or Uzcard card registered in your own name. Payouts to someone else's card are refused, and the name on the card must match your betting account.
