A Detailed Guide on How to Deposit on Parimatch via Vodacom’s M-Pesa
If you’ve only just registered for your Vodacom M-Pesa account, you may not be an expert on how to pay using mobile payments. When depositing on Parimatch via M-Pesa, you’ll be using this mobile payment mechanism. While it may be a little tricky to get your head around at first, it’s the same method every time, so it gets easier!
As soon as you’ve made a deposit, you can start betting on our desktop platform or our next-generation Android/iOS betting app.
- Step 1 — Call Vodacom or go to M-Pesa menu
Option 1. Call Vodacom on *150*00# to access the payment line. This will connect you directly with the platform that enables mobile payments over the phone.
Option 2. Alternatively, go to the M-Pesa menu on your phone. Once in the menu, select “Lipa na M-Pesa” or “Pay with M-Pesa”.
- Step 2 — Choose to pay a bill
The automated Vodacom phone system will give you a selection of options. You want to head to the fourth option to pay bills. This enables you to make payments to external companies such as Parimatch. Click 4 to head to “Pay Bills”.
- Step 3 — Enter the business number of Parimatch
Option 1. The phone system will prompt you to dial 4. This will put you through to the section where you enter the business number of the company you would like to pay. In this case, you need to enter Parimatch’s unique business reference number to enter, which is 351144.
Option 2. On the following screen of the M-Pesa menu, you will need to enter Parimatch’s business number — 351144.
Whichever option you use, you must dial the business number correctly. If you enter the wrong reference number, you’ll find that the money either bounces back or heads to the wrong business account!
The following steps are the same for both depositing options (dialing or on-screen menu).
- Step 4 — Enter your mobile phone number
At the next stage, the system will ask you to enter your reference number or your mobile account number. This is the mobile phone number linked to your Vodacom account. This helps Vodacom to identify who the payment is being sent from. By entering your phone number, you verify the payment is being sent from you to Parimatch.
- Step 5 — Enter the deposit amount
The system will ask you how much you’d like to deposit into your Parimatch account. Think carefully about this as you probably don’t want to keep repeating the whole process often. You can keep funds in your Parimatch account for the next time you play. Equally, however, don’t get carried away. You should only bet what you can afford to lose.
Remember that you can deposit any sum from 100 TZS to 500,000 TZS.
Type in the amount you’d like to deposit into your Parimatch account. Use the keypad to add whole numbers.
- Step 6 — Enter your PIN code
As mentioned above, when you sign up for your Vodacom M-Pesa account, you’ll be asked to register a PIN code with your account. This keeps your account safe and prevents hackers from phoning the company to pay for goods with your telephone number. It is important to keep this number safe from onlookers, but don’t forget it, otherwise, you won’t be able to deposit on the Parimatch betting platform.
- Step 7 — Confirm your payment
One of the top problems that customer service deals with is people forgetting to confirm their payments. You go through the whole M-Pesa process to deposit into your Parimatch account, but right at the last moment, you put the phone down too soon.
Whatever you do, don’t forget to confirm your payment to Parimatch by pressing 1 (on the dial system) or by clicking “OK” (in the on-screen menu). This confirmation sends the fund directly to Parimatch, so we can top up your betting account.
- Step 8 — Get betting!
By confirming your payment, you send your funds straight from Vodacom to your Parimatch betting account. You should be able to see the added money in your Parimatch account on either the Android/iOS app or the desktop platform. The funds should usually appear within a couple of hours.
If you’ve waited for 24 hours and there’s still no deposit into your Parimatch account, contact our customer service team. Our friendly staff will be delighted to help you locate the funds. You can either contact us via our Live Chat, call us 24/7, or send an email.
How Long Will My Vodacom Deposit Take to Show in My Parimatch Account?
M-Pesa payments should happen straight away. Once you’ve popped your details in and confirmed the payment to Parimatch, it’s headed our way. We receive the payment and direct it to you to top up your Parimatch betting account. This should happen almost instantly or within a couple of hours.
My M-Pesa Deposit Isn’t Showing in My Parimatch Account
If your M-Pesa deposit hasn’t shown up in your Parimatch account, you want to make sure it was actually sent there! Go back into your M-Pesa account to ensure the payment was sent. As we said before, often people neglect to press 1 or “OK” to confirm, and the payment never gets sent.
If this isn’t the issue, it’s worth hanging on for 24 hours. This ensures that the system is updated fully and any bottlenecked deposits are assigned to the right account.
If you’ve done all of the above and you’re still not seeing a payment in your Parimatch account, you need to have a chat with our customer service team.
