Mozzart Bet was founded in Belgrade in 2001 and has since grown into an international betting network with retail outlets across several European and African countries. In Kenya, the brand has operated since 2018 through MozzartBet Kenya Limited, which is licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). The operator has both a digital platform and around 40 physical betting shops in the country.

App Features
Sportsbook and live betting. The sportsbook covers just over 10 sports, with football receiving the most extensive coverage and offering the largest selection of leagues and markets, with up to 400 markets on a single event. Basketball and tennis are also well covered. Both pre-match and live betting are available, with odds updated throughout the match. Cash Out is available on selected events, allowing users to settle a bet before the final whistle.
The app does not offer live match streaming, with statistics provided in text format instead.
Jackpot. One of the operator’s distinctive features is a daily jackpot covering 9 or 12 matches, with a prize pool starting at 5 million KES. The jackpot expires and is renewed every day rather than running on a weekly cycle, as is common among competitors in the Kenyan market.
Other entertainment. In addition to sports betting, the app includes the Aviator crash game, more than 500 slots, live dealer tables and virtual sports.
Settings
The app includes the main account and notification settings. Users can:
- change their password and recover access through an SMS link;
- link an M-Pesa number for deposits without having to enter the details each time;
- enable or disable push notifications separately for bets, live events and promotions.
There is also a dedicated responsible gambling section with daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits. Increasing a limit triggers a cooling-off period of 24 to 72 hours before the new limit takes effect.
Account Area
The account area is built around a single balance and transaction history. Users can view all deposits, withdrawals and bets, with filters by status and date. The verification status is shown separately, including information on which documents have already been accepted.
The bonuses section contains available promotions, a promo code field and participation in the weekly activity bonus. Locations of nearby physical betting shops can also be found there.
Bonuses in the App
There is no separate reward for installing the Mozzart Bet app. Promotions are the same across the mobile version, APK and website.
Current promotions are listed in the account area. If a promo code is available, it can be entered in a dedicated field on the registration screen before the phone number is verified.
How to Register in the App
Registration is available by phone number. The process is as follows:
- open the app or website and tap the registration button;
- enter your phone number in the +254 format;
- create a password between 6 and 12 characters long;
- enter a promo code if you have one;
- accept the terms of use and tap the account creation button;
- enter the four-digit code sent by SMS, usually within one minute.
Verification
KYC verification is required before making a large withdrawal. Users need to provide an identity document and verify their phone number. Proof of address may also be requested in some cases. Verification usually takes between 24 and 48 hours.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposits can be made directly through the app. Select M-Pesa in the account area, enter the amount and confirm the transaction with your PIN. Funds are usually credited within a few seconds.
Withdrawals can be requested through the “Withdraw” section of the app or website, or by sending an SMS command in the format “W#amount#PIN” to the short code. Cash deposits and withdrawals are also available at physical Mozzart Bet betting shops.
Mozzart Bet does not charge its own transfer fee. Standard M-Pesa charges may apply, although some transaction amounts carry no M-Pesa fee. Government excise duty on deposits and withdrawals also applies to bookmakers operating in Kenya and is a statutory charge rather than a fee specific to the platform.
Deposit Methods
| Payment Method | Minimum | Maximum | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| M-Pesa (Paybill 290059) | 50 KES | 70,000 KES per transaction | A few seconds |
| Cash at a Mozzart Bet shop | 20 KES | — | Instant |
Withdrawal Methods
| Payment Method | Minimum | Maximum | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| M-Pesa (via app) | 200 KES | 150,000 KES | A few minutes to 24 hours |
| SMS “W#amount#PIN” | 200 KES | 150,000 KES | A few minutes to 24 hours |
Amounts and limits reported by different sources vary more noticeably here than for some other bookmakers. Before making a large transaction, check the current terms in the app.
How to Place Bets in the App
The app supports single bets, accumulators, system bets and live betting, with Cash Out available on selected events.
To place a bet:
- select a sport from the app menu;
- find the desired event in the pre-match sportsbook or live section;
- tap the odds for your chosen outcome to add it to the bet slip;
- add more selections if you want to create an accumulator or system bet;
- enter the stake amount in the bet slip;
- confirm the bet using the placement button.
