How to withdraw money from Betika

Betika is one of the leading sports betting sites in Kenya. According to data from the leaked Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), Betika has the third-highest declared bets of all betting platforms. 

While this might speak to its legitimacy, one question always crops up whenever a new player encounters the site: ‘How do I withdraw from Betika?’ 

If you’ve been in the industry long enough, then you’re probably aware of how authentic-looking gambling platforms can turn out to be a nightmare when the time comes to withdraw winnings. 

With that in mind, we’ve provided a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw money from Betika in this article. Keep reading to learn more. 

How to withdraw money from Betika account 

The first option involves withdrawing money directly from your Betika online gambling site account. This is a relatively easy process that you can also do on your phone, tablet, or desktop computer. Follow these steps to complete the transaction: 

1. Log into your account. 
2. From the top right corner of the homepage, click on “Profile” 
3. Scroll down to the Withdrawal section. 
4. Enter the amount you want to withdraw and click ‘Withdraw.’ 

You will receive the money in either your M-Pesa or Airtel Money account, depending on the phone number you used to register the account. 

Note that there is a minimum withdrawal requirement of KES50 and a maximum daily limit of KES300,000 on M-Pesa and KES100,000 on Airtel Money. 

Next, let’s find out  how to withdraw from Betika using Airtel Money. 

Withdrawing money from Betika account to Airtel Money 

Instead of withdrawing from the Betika website, you can withdraw directly from your Airtel Money account. Here’s how to go about it: 

1. Open your messaging app. 
2. Enter 29090 as the number you intend to send the SMS. 
3. Key in the following message: WITHDRAW#AmountYouWantToSend and hit send. For instance, if you want to withdraw KES500, send this message: WITHDRAW#500 to 29090. 

Before sending a large withdrawal request, keep in mind the KES50 minimum withdrawable amount and a cumulative KES100,000 daily maximum limit. 

How to withdraw from Betika to M-Pesa? 

Betika integrated M-Pesa payments on its website on November 1, 2020, to cater to the 90% of Betika users who use M-Pesa. There are two ways to send your winnings to M-Pesa from Betika: 

1. Open your messaging app 
2. Write the following message: WITHDRAW#AmountYouWantToSend. 
3. Send to 29090 

For instance, if you want to withdraw KES600, write this message: WITHDRAW#600, and send the message to 29090. 

You can also use the following alternative method: 

1. Open your phone app. 
2. Dial *644# to open the Betika M-Pesa payment menu. 
3. Selection option ‘Deposit/Withdraw. Press ‘Send.’ 
4. Key in option ‘Withdraw and press ‘Send.’ 
5. Enter the amount you wish to withdraw (KES50 or more) and press ‘Send.’ 

You should receive a confirmation SMS of the transaction and Betika will send the cash to your M-Pesa account soon after. 

For those who want to transact large amounts, please note that there is a daily cumulative maximum of KES100,000. Also, M-Pesa has included a maximum cumulative withdrawal limit of KES 30,000 between 00:00 HRS and 06:00 HRS. 

How long does it take for Betika withdrawals to reach M-Pesa? 

Betika processes your withdrawal requests instantly. In most instances, Safaricom will process and send the money to your M-Pesa account instantly. 

However, network congestion might occur occasionally, considering that M-Pesa handles 21 billion transactions a year, or about 2,600 transactions per second. This sheer volume of transactions can cause delays, so it may take a few minutes to a few hours before the withdrawn amount appears on your M-Pesa account. 

Next, let’s discuss how to withdraw Betika bonus.
