Booking code, share code, betslip code, coupon code — these are mostly different names for the same thing: a short alphanumeric string that saves a set of betslip selections so they can be reloaded or shared. The naming varies by bookmaker, but the concept is identical. Whatever your code is called, if it came from a different bookmaker than the site you are on, SlipMix can convert it.
What all of these terms refer to
A booking code (by any name) does three things:
- Saves selections — when you tap "Book" or "Share", the bookmaker stores your picks — teams, markets, outcomes — on their servers.
- Returns a short code — you receive a short string (or in some cases a URL) that represents that saved slip.
- Lets someone else load it — anyone with the code can paste it into the same bookmaker's betslip field and the selections appear automatically.
The code saves selections, not odds. Whoever loads it will see the bookmaker's current prices at load time, which may differ from the prices when the code was created.
What each bookmaker calls it
| Bookmaker | What they call it | Typical format |
|-----------|-----------------|---------------|
| Bet9ja | Booking Code (via the "Book a Bet" feature) | B-9X7K2P |
| SportyBet | Booking Code or Share Code | UZ46KM |
| 1xBet | Booking Code or Coupon | 523817462901 |
| Stake | Betslip share (usually a URL) | https://stake.com/sports/... |
The Bet9ja help section refers to "Book a Bet" as the feature and "Booking Code" as the output. SportyBet uses both "Booking Code" and "Share Code" in different parts of their interface. 1xBet often calls theirs a "Coupon". Stake shares a full URL rather than a standalone code. Same idea everywhere — different labels.
Why the name does not matter for conversion
SlipMix does not care what the code is called. What matters is which bookmaker generated it, because each platform uses its own internal event IDs and market codes. A Bet9ja "Booking Code" and a SportyBet "Share Code" both save betslip selections — they just use incompatible internal formats.
When you paste either into SlipMix and select the source and destination bookmakers, SlipMix:
- Fetches your selections from the source bookie using that bookie's API.
- Finds the same matches and markets on the destination bookie.
- Returns a native code for the destination — whatever that bookie calls it.
So if a tipster shares a Bet9ja "Booking Code" and you are on SportyBet, you convert it in SlipMix and receive a SportyBet "Share Code" (or "Booking Code" — SportyBet uses both terms). Same result, different label.
The one case where names differ meaningfully
Stake does not produce a short standalone code — its share feature generates a full URL containing a UUID. Functionally this works the same way, but it is worth knowing that if someone sends you a long stake.com URL, that is their version of a booking code. SlipMix accepts those URLs as input when converting from Stake.
Frequently asked questions
Is a "share code" different from a "booking code"? Not in any meaningful way. Both save betslip selections and let someone else load them. SportyBet in particular uses both terms for the same thing depending on where you are in their app.
Is a "betslip code" the same as a booking code? Yes. "Betslip code" is informal shorthand. Some bettors also call them "slip codes" or "bet codes". All refer to the same concept — a code you can share to let someone load your selections.
Does it matter which name I use when asking SlipMix to convert? No. You select the source bookmaker from the dropdown and paste the code. SlipMix handles the format regardless of what the code is called.
What if I only have a Stake URL, not a short code? That is Stake's version of a booking code. Paste the full URL into SlipMix, select Stake as the source, and choose your target bookmaker.
Why can't I just copy a booking code and paste it on a different bookmaker? Because each bookmaker's code encodes their own internal IDs — event numbers, market codes, selection labels — that are meaningless on any other platform. SlipMix translates between these internal formats. See How to Convert Booking Codes for the full explanation.
