I have previously written about the different payment methods available at Kenyan online casinos. This article is again talking about how these work but in a more general fashion. Keep on reading to learn how you can start depositing at an online casino in Kenya.
Which are the deposit methods available at Kenyan online casinos?
There are quite a few deposit methods available for depositing at online casinos in Kenya. That means that you have several methods to choose from so you can find the one that suits your needs.
One of the most common methods to make a casino deposit in Kenya would be with M-pesa. This is a method that many Kenyans use in their daily lives which makes it easy to also start using it at an online casino. To start using Mpesa at an Kenyan online casino you just need to have your Mpesa PIN near you which makes the deposit very easy. Airtel Money and Safaricom Paybill are also quite common although not as widely accepted at Kenyan online casinos.
It is also common for players to use debit cards like VISA or Mastercard. We have written a guide about PayPal Casinos because if you prefer to play with eWallets that is the most common option. At some international casinos, it is also common to use Neteller and Skrill. It is worth mentioning that while some Kenyan players use these they are not that common here.
Payment methods used by online casinos in Kenya:
- Mpesa
- VISA
- Mastercard
- Paypal
- Astropay
- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum)
- Skrill
- Neteller
- Bank Transfer
How to Fund Your Casino Account in Kenya: A Step-by-Step Guide
How you deposit funds to your casino account depends on which payment method you are using. Online casinos can also have their own processes but usually, it looks something like the following:
- Go to the website of the casino you want to play at.
- Register an account by clicking the “register” button.
- Follow the casino´s procedure of how to register an account. On many Kenyan casinos, it is done by confirming your phone number.
- After you have registered an account you need to go to the cashier section. From there you click “deposit”.
- Choose your deposit method and how much you want to deposit. It is usually at this stage you can choose if you want to use a welcome bonus or not.
- After that, you need to follow the instructions from the payment method in question.
- After you have completed the steps the money should be on your casino account and you are ready to start playing.
How long does it take for a casino deposit to process?
Players are used to not having instant withdrawals when they play at a Kenyan online casino. Some casinos offer this option but luckily I can say that deposits are always instant. With every payment method we have mentioned on this website, you will have your money in the casino account directly.
Choosing the Right Casino Deposit Method
So which payment method should you actually choose when you deposit at a Kenyan casino? Selecting the appropriate casino deposit method is crucial for a seamless and secure gaming experience. Consider factors such as processing times, fees, and security measures from the available options I have mentioned here on our website.
M-pesa is still the most used payment method in Kenya, and it gets my recommendations. The method is already used by many Kenyans and transactions are fast. Bank cards like VISA and Mastercard are also common but be prepared to wait 1-5 days when you withdraw with this method. eWallets are a quicker option but many casinos exclude you from using bonuses when using Neteller and Skrill. Keep in mind that most casinos require you to withdraw with the same method you have deposited so it is important to think about both deposits and withdrawals when you choose your casino deposit method.
Summary
I hope that this short guide to casino deposit methods will help you get started with your gambling experience. It is pretty straightforward and casinos usually make it easy for their players. I still recommend that you read some of our guides about payment methods at Kenyan online casinos if you need to learn more about them. Last but not least, remember that gambling should be fun and not to earn money. Gamble responsibly!
