Common help with 1xBet
1xBet is a Cyprus-headquartered international betting operator using paybill 290011 in Kenya since 2019. The account field is your 1xBet account ID (a numeric ID assigned at registration, not your phone number; distinct from most Kenyan operators). Under the Finance Act 2025 a 5% excise is deducted on deposit, so KES 100 sent lands as about KES 95 in the wallet, and a further 5% on withdrawal. This is not the 15% excise on M-PESA transaction fees, and it is not bundled into the M-PESA prompt: the paybill tariff is charged at the sender, the betting excise comes off the wallet credit. On a fully verified account both deposits and withdrawals are effectively instant: the site owner confirmed this by direct test on 13 September 2026. That is the normal case, not a guarantee. A first withdrawal, or one on an account with incomplete KYC, routes through the operator's anti-fraud check and can take 24 to 48 hours, which is the single most common reason a payout appears to be missing.

You used your phone number as the account and the deposit has not appeared.
Sources disagree on whether 1xBet routes phone-number deposits: our own reference page says both the account ID and the registered Safaricom number reach the wallet, while other sources say only the ID does. What is not in dispute is that 1xBet's ledger keys on the account ID, so phone-number lookups can lag or land in suspense. Use the account ID. If you already paid with your phone number, open live chat with the M-PESA code, your account ID and the number you paid from, and ask them to re-allocate.
You want to be sure the paybill is genuine before sending a large deposit.
Check the M-PESA confirmation SMS: the recipient name must read 1XBET KENYA. If it reads anything else you have paid a look-alike paybill, and you have seven days to attempt a reversal on *456#. Do this on a small first deposit before sending a large one.
