Important:
DO NOT try to create another BT ID username and password while you're seeing this error code – it may cause further problems.
Step 1
You need to ensure you've set up your BT ID:
Step 2
If you've never had a BT ID, you'll be asked to set one up and create a password. You can use this BT ID to log in to the BT Sport app about 10-15 minutes after sign-up.
Step 3
If you already have a BT ID (this will be your email address), you'll not be asked to create a password in the sign-up process for the BT Sport app. Instead you'll receive an email from BT with instructions to link the BT Sport app to your existing account.
Once you've followed the instructions in the email, you'll need to wait at least 10-15 minutes for your BT Sport account to fully activate before you can log in to the app. Your BT Sport account may take up to 24hrs to activate, so please be patient.
Step 4
If you've followed the steps above and you're still seeing this error message appear, you'll need to call us as there may be a problem with your account:

If you receive your validation PIN but it's not approved, you'll need to make sure your browser isn't timed out.
