AfricaBet payment methods
How money moves in and out of an AfricaBet account in Zimbabwe.
Play at AfricaBet →Money moves in and out of an AfricaBet account in Zimbabwe through mobile money — EcoCash on *151#, InnBucks on *569#, OneMoney and O'Mari — as well as cash in US dollars at a betting shop and cards or a ZIPIT bank transfer. The deposit minimum is US$10.
Paying in and out at AfricaBet
- Mobile money carries most betting payments in Zimbabwe: EcoCash on *151#, InnBucks on *569#, OneMoney and O'Mari.
- Cash in US dollars at a betting shop is still a normal way to fund play here, and for many customers it is the main channel rather than a backup.
- Cards and ZIPIT bank transfers cover people who would rather move money from a bank account than from a wallet.
- The charge on an electronic transfer comes from the wallet and from the statutory levy on electronic payments — neither is set by the bookmaker.
- Whichever route is used, the deposit minimum at AfricaBet is US$10 and the operator says it aims to process withdrawals within 24 hours.
- Check inside the account which methods are switched on before planning a large transfer: what wallets allow for gambling payments in this market has changed more than once.
