How to open a Radabet account in Kenya (2026)

Before you begin: what you actually need

• Kenyan Safaricom line in your name. The number is your login and the identifier that connects deposits (via M-PESA paybill 4966000) to your Radabet wallet.
• Age 18 or over. Under-18 signups are illegal in Kenya and any winnings from them are voidable. Radabet checks this during KYC.
• A Kenyan National ID or passport, kept close. Not required at signup, but you will need to photograph it during KYC before larger withdrawals.
• A password you do not reuse. Radabet holds your gambling funds; treat the login like an M-PESA PIN.
• Optional: email address for withdrawal notifications and password recovery.

The signup flow, step by step

1. Open the signup page. Easiest path: our /radabet/signup hub, which explains what you are signing and then sends you to Radabet with the referral code pre-filled. Or go direct to radabet.co.ke and paste EYGNRFFSG in the referral field yourself.
2. Enter phone and password. Safaricom number in 07XXXXXXXX form. Set a strong, unique password.
3. Confirm the SMS one-time code. Radabet texts a numeric code to prove the phone number is yours.
4. Add your legal names. They must match your Kenyan ID. Getting them right at signup avoids KYC friction later.
5. Accept the terms. Confirm you are 18+, read and accept the responsible-gambling notice.

KYC: what Radabet asks for and when

Radabet operates the GRA-standard KYC tier structure:

• Tier 1 (default at signup): phone number verified, small deposits and withdrawals allowed.
• Tier 2 (ID verified): triggered before your first larger withdrawal. Radabet asks for a photo of your Kenyan National ID (front and back) plus a selfie holding it. Turnaround is typically 24 to 48 hours.
• Enhanced KYC: requested for high-volume accounts. Includes source of funds questions and, in some cases, a KRA PIN. Only a small fraction of players ever hit this tier.

Your first deposit

M-PESA is the primary rail. From M-PESA on your phone: Lipa na M-PESA, Pay Bill, business number 4966000, account = the same registered Safaricom number, amount, PIN, Confirm. Reflects in 1 to 5 minutes. Full flow, fees, and troubleshooting on the how-to-deposit-radabet guide.

Set responsible-gambling limits before you play

In the Radabet account settings, set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceilings. Set them before you place a bet, while you are thinking clearly. Radabet enforces a cooling-off period on limit raises, so a limit set early actually protects you later. Self-exclusion (temporary or permanent) is also available in the same settings menu.

After signup: what to do first

1. Verify a small deposit lands correctly (test with KES 100 to KES 500).
2. Explore the sports, casino, or Aviator tabs before you stake anything meaningful.
3. Set responsible-gambling limits if you have not already.
4. Decide whether to claim the current welcome bonus (rollover math on the welcome bonus guide).
5. Bookmark the Radabet hub for future reference (deposit, withdraw, troubleshooting).
