Playco Technology Limited is on the 2025/26 GRA list for Shabiki with bookmaker licence 0001080 and public gaming licence 0001082, and the site footer names PlayCo Technology Ltd as the operator.

Shabiki Kenya is open to people aged 18 and over, with one account per person. Its responsible gaming page sets out the limits and tools available to account holders.

4. 4Confirmation SMSThe account is ready for a deposit

Shabiki opens accounts by SMS or on the website. A text of SHABIKI or JOIN to 29063 registers the line and sends a link to the terms, while Create Account online asks for a mobile number and a password of at least four characters.

Your mobile number and password then log you in on the site and in the web app. A confirmation SMS arrives as soon as the account exists, and the first deposit can follow straight away by paybill or SMS.

Mobile money and bankM-Pesa

Shabiki's M-Pesa business number is 290063, and the account number is the word SHABIKI. Online, the deposit icon sends an M-Pesa prompt asking you to pay Shabiki the amount you typed, confirmed with your PIN.

By SMS, the message Deposit 100 to 29063 brings up the same prompt for 100 shillings. After the PIN, an SMS confirms the transaction and the balance updates on the site and the web app.

Paybill and SMS deposits need no data bundle, which suits a feature phone, while the online prompt needs the website or web app open.

4. 4Or SMS W#Amount to 29063For example W#50

Withdrawals go to the M-Pesa account on your Shabiki number, online or by SMS. The text format is Withdraw and the amount, or W# and the amount, sent to 29063.

The payout caps apply to what you win, so stakes and odds together decide whether a ticket fits. A KSh 20,000 single at odds of 10.0 already reaches the KSh 200,000 cap for singles.

Every SMS bet on Shabiki follows one pattern: Game ID#prediction#stake, sent to 29063. 12345#1#100 backs the home side for KSh 100, 12345#GG#100 backs both teams to score and 12345#OV25#100 takes over 2.5 goals.

Double chance uses DC1X, DCX2 or DC12, correct score uses CS and the score, such as CS23, and draw no bet uses DNB1 or DNB2. Total goals odd or even uses OD or EV, with zero goals settled as even.

SMS covers pre-match singles and multibets only, and live betting runs on the website, where the menu promises up to 30,000 live events.

• Live casino

The Shabiki casino filters games by provider, with Iron Dog, Galaxsys, Pragmatic Play, SmartSoft and Spribe on the list. Crash games lead the lobby: Aviator from Spribe, JetX from SmartSoft and Aviatrix, plus titles from Mancala, 1x2gaming and Turbo Games.

The menu advertises more than 5,000 casino games, a live casino with over 100 dealers and up to 50 virtual game providers. Sky Captain, a racing game, and the Shabiki League game sit next to the sportsbook.

Casino play draws on the same M-Pesa balance as sports bets, topped up through paybill 290063, and the lobby's Recommended row showed 55 titles on 27 October 2026.

Shabiki's mobile option is a web app. The Install button in the menu adds Shabiki to an Android home screen, and iPhone users get an Add to Home option for the same shortcut.

The web app loads the live site, so odds, the casino lobby and Sky Captain update without a separate download. It uses the same login and balance as shabiki.com, and SMS on 29063 covers the days when your data bundle runs out.

Shabiki links no separate store app from its menu, so the web app is the one to install on either phone.

M-Pesa is common ground for Shabiki, Odibets and Kwikbet, but their terms set different stake floors: KSh 1 on football at Odibets and KSh 10 at Shabiki and Kwikbet. Kwikbet caps daily winnings at KSh 500,000, well below Shabiki's 24-hour cap.

Pick Shabiki for SMS betting across seven markets, Odibets for the free bet on registration and Odi League virtuals, and Kwikbet for JengaBet same-match combos.

For a punter who bets by text on a basic phone, Shabiki publishes the SMS code for every market it takes by text, from GG to DNB2.
