Shabiki is a Kenyan-focused, GRA-licensed operator best known for its Power 17 weekly jackpot. Depositing is a standard M-PESA paybill, with two things worth watching: the tax that comes off before the money lands, and the fake paybills that circulate on WhatsApp.
The verified paybill
Shabiki is paybill 290063. The account is your registered Safaricom number, the same number tied to your Shabiki account. The minimum deposit is KES 50.
Deposit step by step
- Open the M-PESA app, or dial *334#.
- Select Lipa na M-PESA, then Pay Bill.
- Business number: 290063.
- Account: your registered Safaricom number.
- Amount: at least KES 50.
- Enter your M-PESA PIN and confirm.
The money reflects in your Shabiki wallet within 1 to 5 minutes.
The deposit tax
Check the recipient name, always
Deposit did not reflect
If the recipient name was correct but the wallet has not updated after 5 minutes, contact Shabiki support with your M-PESA transaction code and registered phone number. They re-allocate within about 24 hours. If the recipient name was wrong, treat it as a scam paybill and reverse it, do not contact "support" numbers sent to you by whoever gave you the paybill.
A word on the Power 17 jackpot
Power 17 is a 17-game predictor, the same format as the Betika Grand. At 50 percent per-game skill the odds are about 1 in 131,072. Treat the entry fee as the cost of entertainment, not as expected income, and set a deposit limit under Shabiki's Responsible Gaming settings before you play.
