Online Casino Payment Methods in Kenya

It's not that difficult to pick the best online casino payment methods at Kenyan online gambling sites. Actually, you need to sign up, visit the deposit section, and pick an option that suits you best, taking into account its limits, fees, and processing time. That's why the more payment options your KE online casino has, the better for you.

It's hard to say that one method is better than the other as licensed and reliable Kenyan online casinos offer to make payments with trustworthy payment options which are all safe. It's reasonable to rely on your own preferences and needs when you are picking a banking option. For example: Do you want to make a small or a large deposit? Does it matter if you do not make a payment in Kenyan shillings? Is it important for your withdrawals to be instant? Below, some of these aspects are explained in detail so that you find out more about withdrawal times (including the options that offer instant payouts), payment limits, and acceptable fees.

• Withdrawal times

  You may have noticed that not all online casino payment options in Kenya have the same withdrawal times. Coming ahead, it's worth noting that we are talking not about the processing time on the operator's side, though this detail is also worth checking, and you can get this information either in the KE casino reviews or in its T&Cs. As for the withdrawal times connected with a particular payment option, the fastest ones are different e-wallets (eg. Skrill, PayPal, Neteller) and cryptos. When we are talking about bank cards and bank transfers, these cashouts take much longer, coming up to several business days.

• Banking fees for online casino payment options in Kenya

  This detail is also essential when you want to make a transaction at an online casino in Kenya. At most large KE casinos online, the fees on the operator's side are absent. However, these fees can be charged on the side of the payment method you choose. Mainly, the fees are applied for bank transfers or in cases when the currency of your account is different from the wallet's or card's one (if this happens, you pay an exchange fee). At any rate, you are warned if the fees take place, so you can reject the payment and use a more suitable option once you aren't satisfied with this condition.

Kenyan gambling sites try to please local gamblers with all the best conditions. It's so in terms of everything, so the best solutions to deposit and withdraw are also involved. In the following sections, you'll find out about the most popular payment methods in online casinos in Kenya, taking into account the advantages, weak points, limits, fees, and other aspects you need to consider.

  M-Pesa

  Unlike the previous payment methods in Kenya, this one is phone-based. It was launched by Safaricom (Vodafone) in 2007 and in just a few years, the number of M-Pesa users in Kenya has exceeded 17 million. It allows gamblers to transfer funds and make deposits at KE online casinos by sending funds from a cell phone to a merchant's balance. To confirm this payment, it's necessary to enter a PIN sent to the user's mobile number in the SMS.

  The method is simple to use and supports a withdrawal option as well. However, Kenyans need to keep in mind rather small limits when depositing and processing cashouts (eg. up to Ksh300,000 per day).

  Airtel Money

  This is another mobile payment option targeted at some African countries. Today, Airtel Africa is available in 14 countries over here, including Kenya where the service was launched in 2010. There are 60+ retail outlets across the country and its main goal is to connect communities across Kenya. The option is also connected to your mobile phone and you use it for deposits and withdrawals. Among the weak sides, it's worth mentioning the limits that can't compete with other methods like bank cards and e-wallets.

  Paysafecard

  As well as Skrill and Neteller, paysafecard also belongs to Paysafe Group. But this service is completely different. It's a prepaid card, so you purchase a voucher of a certain value and spend it by entering a 16-digit code. To find the sales outlets, visit the official site of the service and pick the searching bar. Here, choose Kenya and enter your city. Plus, you can purchase these vouchers online. As it's a voucher, you use it only for deposits. When you want to cash out, pick any alternative mentioned on this page.

  Neteller

  Another e-wallet worth your attention is Neteller. Launched in 1999, it's a part of Paysafe Group that owns other popular payment solutions as well. Still, Kenyans can use Neteller for fast deposits and just as fast withdrawals, and it's a serious advantage in the gambling world. The only detail to be careful with is the range of bonuses that can't be activated via Neteller (and sometimes, the entire Paysafe Group) deposits. However, all the other options of this service are top-notch, including its reliability and availability at KE casinos.

  Skrill

  Like Neteller, Skrill also belongs to the same owner, though it was launched in 2001 as Moneybookers in the UK and was purchased by Paysafe Group in 2015. This digital wallet is friendly to the gambling industry and will let Kenyans deposit quickly and withdraw funds at the same speed.

  When you want to deposit with Skrill, you select the method at the online casino where you are registered. Once it's done, you'll be prompted to enter the details of your wallet to log in and confirm the transaction. For withdrawals, you pick the same wallet and wait for the transaction to be processed.

  Visa

  Having been on the market since 1958, this US banking option has quickly entered the global market, and its benefits in the gambling industry in Kenya are also essential. When you deposit with Visa, you follow these steps: Enter your KE online casino and push the deposit icon on the account's menu; Select Visa and enter an amount (normally, Ksh90 to Ksh440,000); Add the required details of your card (its number, expiry date, and CVV) and; Submit the payment and get your money on the casino's account in a few minutes.

  For withdrawals, you can also pick Visa, and in most cases, its details are already kept in the casino's system. Please note that the process will take longer, and you can get money in a few business days.

  Mastercard

  As well as Visa, Mastercard is also a trustworthy and proven payment solution. Their deposit and withdrawal principles are the same, and the limits, mainly, don't differ either. Though it's not a rule and you need to check the ones applied at your particular KE online casino. The fees for gambling deposits and withdrawals are usually absent.

  PayPal

  Among the best online casino payment methods for Kenyan gamblers, it's definitely worth highlighting PayPal. First of all, it's reliable and known for decades. The service was launched in 1998 as Confinity. Plus, this e-wallet is convenient for deposits and withdrawals, both being instant. As the option is extremely popular, nearly all Kenyan online casinos accept PayPal. It's also compatible with different deposit bonuses available for Kenyan casino players, such as welcome packages and match bonuses.

  Bank wire

  Perhaps, this option isn't the most popular among Kenyans since the processing time for such transactions is the longest. Besides, such payments are often accompanied by certain fees. However, the option has been proven to be extremely reliable for many years of its being in operation. The option is offered for withdrawals at most casinos and Kenyans who want to use this method need to provide a range of bank details to process a payment. Please note that the minimum limit for such a transaction is usually much larger than the limit for any other option you find here.

  Cryptocurrencies

  This can be called nearly the best payment option for online casinos in Kenya since crypto payments are safe and allow gamblers to make anonymous transactions. You don't report to your bank about your spending and income, don't care about minimised limits per transaction, and simply enjoy fast and safe transactions.

  To make cryptocurrency transactions, you need to create a wallet which can be registered on a corresponding site, installed on your gadget or kept on a hardware device. You send funds to the casino's address you copy in the deposit section and insert your wallet's address when you need to withdraw.

  Available currencies and limits depend on the terms determined by a KE online casino. You see the actual ones while depositing. For example, the minimum of 0.00041 BTC (Ksh977), 0.05508 LTC (Ksh358), or 0.01116 ETH (Ksh1803.86) for depositing. But these limits, as well as the exchange rate, vary from casino to casino, so make sure to check them on the site you play at.
