How to deposit to OdiBets
From M-PESA: Lipa na M-PESA, Pay Bill, 290680, account = your registered Safaricom number, amount (minimum KES 1), PIN, Confirm. Reflects in your OdiBets wallet within 1 to 5 minutes. Standard M-PESA paybill tariff applies (KES 0 on the 50-100 band, KES 5 on 101-500, rising to KES 108 from KES 45,001). 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 OdiBets
In the OdiBets app or website, tap Wallet, then Withdraw, enter amount (minimum KES 100), confirm. Funds reach M-PESA within minutes. The 5% withdrawal tax applies. M-PESA per-transaction cap of KES 250,000 limits a single withdrawal; daily M-PESA ceiling is KES 500,000 for fully-verified accounts. Higher amounts require splitting across transactions or days.
When things break
- Deposit does not reflect after 5 minutes. Check the M-PESA SMS recipient name. Should read ODIBETS or ODIBETS KENYA. If yes, contact OdiBets live chat with the M-PESA transaction code. If no, you paid a scam paybill; ask Safaricom on 100 for a reversal (see how reversals work).
- Withdrawal stuck pending. Most process within minutes. Over 30 minutes is unusual; escalate via OdiBets live chat with the in-app withdrawal reference number.
- Login fails. Use the in-app password reset. If your registered phone is lost, OdiBets needs a national ID match via the support team.
