M-Pesa deposit FAQ
What is the 1xBet M-Pesa Paybill number?
The Paybill number is shown on your 1xBet deposit page after login. It rotates between Safaricom-approved tier-1 numbers (never hardcoded externally — always copy from your account dashboard to avoid scams).
Why is my M-Pesa deposit not crediting?
Common causes: wrong account number (must be exact 1xBet user ID, not phone number), Paybill mismatch, Safaricom temporary outage. Check the SMS confirmation — if M-Pesa shows "successful" but 1xBet hasn't credited, contact 1xBet support with the M-Pesa transaction ID.
Are M-Pesa deposits taxed in Kenya?
Kenya levies 12.5% excise duty on betting deposits since 2024 (deducted at source by the bookmaker, not by Safaricom). Net deposit = your transaction amount × 0.875. Bonus is calculated on net deposit.
Can I deposit via Airtel Money instead?
Yes. 1xBet supports Airtel Money, T-Kash and Equitel as secondary mobile-money options. Process is similar — copy the Paybill, pay via the mobile-money app, confirm. Settlement also 30-60 seconds.
