Top 8 Bookmakers with most deposit methods in Kenya
Best Deposit Methods for Kenya players
Debit and Credit Cards
This is the standard payment method used by overseas bookmakers operating in Kenya’s betting sector. Visa and Mastercard are the most often used cards due to their secure transactions and quick processing times. These cards are available to Kenyans who have accounts with the country’s top local and foreign banks.
To make a deposit with a debit/credit card, log into your bookmaker account, click ‘Deposit,’ and choose ‘Debit/Credit card‘ as your payment option. Fill in the essential personal and credit card information. Carry on with the transaction as necessary. Your payment is immediately recorded in your bookmaker account.
Bank transfers
Customers can fund their betting accounts by transferring money directly from their bank accounts. Large sums of money are usually sent via bank transfers. A number of major banks, including KCB, NBK, Equity Bank, Cooperative Bank, Stanchart, and ABSA, offer this service. Bank transfers can be made online, via bank mobile apps, or in-person at a local branch. This is not a payment method available at all bookmakers.
What are the withdrawal methods available?
Customers in Kenya can use the following methods to withdraw funds from their betting accounts:
Mobile Payments
This is the most usual route of withdrawal. Safaricom’s Mpesa or Airtel’s Airtel Money are both used. This payment method is available in the menus of both local and international bookies.
Choose your preferred mobile wallet and the amount you want to remove from your betting account. The money is given to your cell phone number through text message as soon as the withdrawal is completed. The bookmaker must have your mobile number on file.

Debit/credit cards
Customers have the option of having their withdrawals transferred to their Visa or Mastercard credit cards. The transaction is expected to take less than two hours, but it could take up to twenty-four hours. To use this option, you must first register with the bookmaker and confirm your credit/debit card information.
Bank transfers/EFT
With this technique, your withdrawals are sent immediately to your bank account. Leading banks such as KBC, ABSA, Stanchart, Coop Bank, and Equity Bank offer it. Before you can use this option, you must first register your bank account or debit card with the bookmaker. On average, transactions take 24 to 48 hours.
Example for Bet365 withdrawal
Withdrawing money from Bet365 using a credit or debit card is completely free and takes anywhere from one to five days.
For bank wire transfers, the minimum withdrawal amount is $10 and the highest is $80,000.
E-wallets
You can withdraw funds from your betting account to your e-wallet at bookmakers that accept e-wallets as a payment mechanism. Choose your favorite e-wallet from the list of possibilities and fill in the relevant information. Skrill, Paysafecard, and PayPal are popular e-wallets in Kenya. The transaction takes place right away, and there may be some fees associated with it. International betting sites are the most popular users of e-wallets, but local operators are catching up.
