How to deposit to 1xBet

From M-PESA: Lipa na M-PESA, Pay Bill, 290011, account = your 1xBet account ID or registered Safaricom number, amount (minimum KES 50), PIN, Confirm. Reflects in your 1xBet wallet within 1 to 5 minutes. Standard M-PESA paybill tariff applies. The 5% deposit excise is deducted before the money lands in your wallet, so KES 100 deposited reaches the wallet as KES 95.

How to withdraw from 1xBet

In the 1xBet app or website, go to My Account, then Withdraw, choose M-PESA, enter amount (minimum KES 100), confirm. Funds reach M-PESA within minutes for amounts up to KES 70,000; larger withdrawals go through a 1xBet manual review for KYC purposes (1 to 24 hours). The 5% withdrawal tax applies. M-PESA per-transaction cap of KES 250,000 limits single withdrawals; daily M-PESA ceiling is KES 500,000 for fully-verified accounts.

When things break

  • Deposit does not reflect after 5 minutes. Check the M-PESA SMS recipient name. Should read 1XBET KENYA. If yes, contact 1xBet live chat with the M-PESA transaction code AND your 1xBet account ID (1xBet's ledger keys on the account ID; phone-number lookups can lag). If the recipient name is anything else, scam paybill; ask Safaricom on 100 for a reversal (see how reversals work).
  • Withdrawal stuck pending over 24 hours. 1xBet runs KYC review on larger withdrawals; the review can stall if your KYC documents are outdated. Re-upload national ID front, back, and selfie in My Account, then chat support to request review.
  • Login fails. Use the in-app password reset. 1xBet additionally supports email-based recovery; check the recovery email on file is current.

FAQ

What is the 1xBet paybill in Kenya?

What account number do I use for 1xBet?

Use your numeric 1xBet account ID, visible in My Account after login. Some sources say a registered Safaricom number also routes to the wallet and others say only the ID does; we have not settled that by testing. What is not in dispute is that 1xBet’s ledger keys on the account ID, which makes the ID correct either way.

How do I withdraw from 1xBet?

What is the 1xGames suite?

1xBet offers a 1xGames suite in addition to sports betting: crash games including Aviator, casino-style mines, virtual slots, and provably fair instant games. All games run inside the same wallet, so deposits and winnings flow seamlessly. The 5% withdrawal tax applies when cashing out 1xGames winnings.

What tax do I pay on 1xBet?

My 1xBet deposit has not reflected. What now?

Check the M-PESA SMS recipient name. It must read 1XBET KENYA. If it shows any other name, you paid a scam paybill: call Safaricom on 100 with the M-PESA code and ask for a reversal. The 456 self-reversal only covers person-to-person sends. If the name is correct and 30 minutes have passed, contact 1xBet live chat with the M-PESA transaction code, your 1xBet account ID, and your registered phone number; they re-allocate within 24 hours.

Where do I download the 1xBet app?

Official Android APK at 1xbet.com/en/mobile (Google Play removed Kenyan gambling apps in 2019). iOS users access 1xBet via the mobile web. Avoid third-party APK mirrors; they are typically repackaged with adware. 1xBet also runs a desktop client for Windows.
