Gambling is for adults aged 18+ only.

Only play with money you can afford to lose. paybillke lists operators that hold a current GRA licence at the time of verification. Confirm on gra.go.ke before depositing. If gambling is becoming a problem, support is available. Call the GRA helpline on 0800 222 333.

The Mozzartbet paybill

Mozzartbet paybill: 290059. Verified against the operator's official channels. European-operator with a Kenyan licence; runs the Daily Jackpot product. Always confirm the same number on the Mozzartbet deposit screen or at mozzartbet.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

Mozzartbet 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 Mozzartbet app or mozzartbet.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: 290059.
  5. Account Number: the phone number you registered with on Mozzartbet.
  6. Amount: enter the deposit value.
  7. Enter your M-PESA PIN. Confirm.
  8. Wait for the M-PESA SMS. The Mozzartbet balance updates within 60 seconds in 95% of cases.

Fees and limits

  • M-PESA deposit fee. Standard Safaricom paybill tariff. Paid by you to Safaricom, not by Mozzartbet. Use our M-PESA fees calculator for the exact amount.
  • Mozzartbet deposit fee. None. Mozzartbet does not charge a separate deposit fee.
  • Minimum deposit. Typically KES 20 to KES 50; the M-PESA floor is KES 10. The Mozzartbet app shows the current minimum on the deposit screen.
  • Maximum per transaction. Subject to the M-PESA per-transaction cap (KES 250,000) and your daily M-PESA limit.

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 Mozzartbet-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 Mozzartbet 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. Mozzartbet, like every GRA-licensed Kenyan operator, requires verified identity matching the registered name before processing withdrawals. KYC takes 24 to 48 hours; clear it in advance.

Before you deposit, set a cap

Use Mozzartbet'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 222 333; see our responsible gambling resources.
