Betting paybill numbers in Kenya: SportPesa 955100, Betika 290290, Odibets 290680

Each betting paybill in Kenya pairs a business number with an account field, and the account field decides which betting account the money reaches. SportPesa wants your registered phone number, betPawa the word PAWA and Shabiki the word SHABIKI.

A paybill missing from the bookmaker’s own page belongs to someone else, so a number copied from a forum or WhatsApp group can send your money to an unrelated business. Copy the number from the operator’s cashier or help page, and check it digit by digit before you enter your PIN.

A paybill only carries money in. Withdrawals go back to the M-Pesa line on the account, requested by SMS or from the Withdraw menu, from KSh 50 at Betika and Chezacash and from KSh 100 at Odibets.

SportPesa, Betika and Odibets are among the betting paybill numbers in Kenya that punters search for by name, and each handles the account field its own way.

SportPesa paybill and account number

SportPesa takes M-Pesa on 955100 and 5212121, with the phone number registered on SportPesa typed as the account number. A reply SMS shows the new balance after each deposit. Online, Funds and then Deposit on the SportPesa Kenya site send the same M-Pesa prompt.

Betika paybill and account number

Betika’s paybill is 290290, and the account field takes your Betika account number. Punters on a basic phone register first by texting BETIKA to 29090, then pay through Lipa na M-PESA as usual.

Odibets paybill and account number

Odibets uses paybill 290680 with ODI as the account, and its FAQ page says the field can be left blank. Standard M-Pesa charges apply, and the SMS that confirms the deposit carries your new Odi balance.

Paying a betting paybill via M-Pesa runs through the Lipa na M-PESA menu in your SIM Toolkit:

1. Open M-PESAIn the SIM Toolkit, choose M-PESA, then Lipa na M-PESA.
2. Select Pay BillThe menu then asks for the business number.
3. Type the business numberFor example 290030 for Chezacash or 5680100 for MSport.
4. Fill the account numberUse the bookmaker’s own wording: your phone number, PAWA, SHABIKI or ODI.
5. Enter the amount and your M-Pesa PINCheck the business number and account once more before you send.
6. Keep the M-Pesa SMSIt holds the transaction code; Odibets also replies with your new betting balance.

Mozzartbet notes that an M-Pesa SMS confirms the deposit once you approve the payment, and that message is your receipt if anything goes wrong.

The STK push is quicker when the site is open: type the amount in the Deposit box, and an M-Pesa prompt arrives on your phone asking only for your PIN. MSport’s paybill needs no account number at all, and Odibets lets you leave its account field blank.

The safest way to search a betting paybill number is to read it off the bookmaker’s own site: SportyBet and Bangbet print it in the page footer, Betgr8 shows 247979 in the Deposit bar, and SportPesa lists both of its numbers on the How to Play page.

Search engines and paybill directories carry old numbers. Bangbet’s own help centre still has a May 2024 article quoting paybill 999880, while the live footer shows 569699, so the footer wins whenever the two differ.

Odibets, Mozzartbet and Chezacash explain their paybill in a help or FAQ page, with the account wording spelled out, as in Chezacash’s deposit guide.

SportPesa runs two business numbers, 955100 and 5212121, and both credit the same account, so neither is a fake.

If a number reaches you by SMS or social media, open the operator’s site yourself and compare it digit by digit before paying anything. A message asking you to pay a stake to a personal number, a till or a paybill missing from the operator’s site should be treated as a scam, whatever logo it carries.

SMS and USSD deposits let you fund a betting account from a basic phone with no data bundle. SportPesa’s *790# menu, option 4, sends an M-Pesa prompt for the amount you type, and Chezacash takes D#500 sent to 29030.

SMS short codes for Kenyan betting accounts

Site	Short code	What to send
SportPesa	79079	GAME to register, W#amount to withdraw
Betika	29090	BETIKA to register, WITHDRAW#AMOUNT to withdraw
Odibets	29680	ODI to register, W#amount to withdraw
Shabiki	29063	Deposit and the amount, for example Deposit 100
Chezacash	29030	D#amount to deposit, W#amount to withdraw
Mozzartbet	29990	WIN to register

USSD covers the rest: *644# at Betika, *664# at Odibets and *334# for betPawa’s Lipa na M-Pesa route.

Bangbet withdrawals run through *852#, option 3 and then 2, and Betika also accepts registration by *644# for punters without a smartphone. Register from the line that holds your M-Pesa; Odibets, for one, acts on SMS withdrawal requests only from the number linked to the account.

A betting deposit that never shows up in your balance comes down, in the common cases, to the wrong line or the wrong account field. SportPesa credits only the number registered on the account, so money paid from a second SIM never reaches your balance.

MSport goes further: a paybill payment from an unregistered line opens a new MSport account and sends its password to that number. Odibets confirms every credited deposit by SMS with the M-Pesa reference and the new balance, so a missing reply is the first sign a payment went astray.

BonusBet has a missing-deposit tool in the account menu: paste the M-Pesa confirmation message or code, and the payment is traced and credited. Elsewhere, send the same confirmation SMS to customer care, since it carries the transaction code support needs to find your money.

Mozzartbet and Chezacash take the registered phone number as the account, so the account field must match the number you registered with. Check every digit of that number before you enter the PIN.

Paybill charges on a betting deposit come in two layers: the M-Pesa transaction fee and the 5% excise duty on the amount deposited for betting, which KRA’s Finance Act 2026 summary confirms. On a KSh 1,000 top-up, the excise is KSh 50.

Betika hands part of the fee back: its first deposit of the day earns a small bonus that covers the transaction charge, KSh 3 on a KSh 49 deposit and KSh 8 on KSh 99.

BonusBet’s terms allow a handling charge of up to 5% on deposits and withdrawals, and SportPesa can take 10% from money deposited and withdrawn without being staked. Kwikbet’s terms also show a 5% charge on withdrawals.

Send what you plan to bet in one payment, and stake it before you withdraw. The guide to betting tax in Kenya covers the 20% on winnings, and the comparison of betting sites in Kenya by licence and offer links each operator to its company page, such as Betika Kenya and Odibets Kenya.
