How to deposit on GameMania via M-PESA in 2026 (paybill 999880)

The GameMania paybill

GameMania paybill: 999880. Verified against the operator's official channels. Local operator with strong Trends-breakout growth in 2026; smaller user base, faster app. M-PESA shows the name BANGBET for 999880 (BANGBET1 for 937552), which is correct: GameMania and BangBet are both trading names of Rabow Co. Limited. Always confirm the same number on the GameMania deposit screen or at gamemania.co.ke before sending money; a wrong paybill that looks similar is the most common scam vector in Kenyan betting.

Two routes: STK push or manual paybill

GameMania supports both deposit flows. STK is faster when it works; manual is more reliable when STK does not arrive.

Route 1: STK push (in-app)

1. Open the GameMania app or gamemania.co.ke.
2. Tap Deposit.
3. Enter the amount.
4. Tap Deposit via M-PESA.
5. An M-PESA STK prompt appears on your phone within 10 to 30 seconds. Enter your M-PESA PIN.
6. Balance updates within 60 seconds.

If the prompt does not arrive within 30 seconds, do not retry; the request may still be queued and double-paying is possible. Switch to manual paybill instead.

Route 2: Manual M-PESA paybill

1. Open M-PESA (SIM Toolkit → M-PESA, or the M-PESA app).
2. Select Lipa na M-PESA.
3. Select Pay Bill.
4. Business Number: 999880.
5. Account Number: the phone number you registered with on GameMania.
6. Amount: enter the deposit value.
7. Enter your M-PESA PIN. Confirm.
8. Wait for the M-PESA SMS, then check your GameMania balance.

Fees and limits

• M-PESA deposit fee. Standard Safaricom paybill tariff. Paid by you to Safaricom, not by GameMania. Use our M-PESA fees calculator for the exact amount.
• GameMania deposit fee. None. GameMania does not charge a separate deposit fee.
• Minimum deposit. Shown on the deposit screen in your account. GameMania does not publish it on a page we could read.
• Maximum per transaction. Your own M-PESA limits apply; GameMania does not publish its own cap.

When the deposit does not reflect

1. Check your M-PESA SMS. Did the payment confirmation arrive? If no SMS, the payment did not go through; retry.
2. Verify the Account Number. The Account Number must exactly match your GameMania-registered phone number. A typo sends the money to a different account; recovery requires a support ticket.
3. Force a balance refresh. Log out, log back in.
4. Wait the full 30 minutes. Most reconciliation issues clear within this window.
5. Escalate to GameMania support. Provide the M-PESA transaction code, the deposit amount, and the timestamp.

Before you can withdraw what you deposit

Complete KYC (ID upload) before your first withdrawal attempt. GameMania, like other licensed Kenyan operators, requires verified identity matching the registered name before processing withdrawals. Complete it in advance.

Before you deposit, set a cap

Use GameMania's in-account responsible-gaming settings to set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Decide what you can comfortably lose as entertainment in a month, set the cap, and bet within it. The Kenya gambling helpline is 0800 723 770; see our responsible gambling resources.
