How to reach us
Live chat
Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner of any page (desktop or mobile). Available 24/7 with average response time under 5 minutes during 8 AM-10 PM EAT, slightly longer overnight. Best for urgent issues like failed deposits, locked accounts, or bet disputes. Agents speak English and Swahili.
Email support
Send detailed inquiries to support@zawadika-kenya.com. Include your account username, registered phone number, and screenshots if relevant (like M-Pesa confirmation messages or error screens). Responses arrive within 4-6 hours on weekdays, 8-12 hours weekends. Use email for non-urgent matters or when you need written confirmation of resolutions.
Phone assistance
Call +254 700 123 456 (toll-free from Safaricom and Airtel) or +254 20 1234 567 (standard rates). Lines operate 24/7 but peak efficiency during business hours (Monday-Friday 8 AM-6 PM). Phone support handles account verification, large withdrawal requests, and complex technical issues better than chat.
Frequent support requests
M-Pesa deposit not credited
Check your M-Pesa SMS confirmation—you should have received a message with a transaction code. If the message says "Transaction successful" but funds didn't reach your Zawadika account within 2 minutes, contact live chat with the M-Pesa code. The team verifies with Safaricom and credits manually within 15-30 minutes. Common causes: wrong paybill number entered, insufficient M-Pesa balance (transaction fails but you might not notice), Safaricom system delays during peak hours (5-7 PM weekdays).
KYC verification delays
After uploading your national ID and proof of address, verification normally completes in 2-4 hours weekdays. Delays happen when documents are blurry, names don't match between ID and account registration, or address proof is older than 3 months. If you've waited 8+ hours, contact support with clear photos of your ID (front and back) and recent utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address. The team can fast-track review or tell you specifically what's missing.
Withdrawal not processed
First-time withdrawals require completed KYC verification—this is BCLB regulation, not optional. Once verified, M-Pesa withdrawals process in 15-45 minutes weekdays, 1-3 hours weekends. If you've waited longer, check your account email for messages from Zawadika; sometimes they request additional verification for large amounts (above 50,000 KES). Also confirm you met any active bonus wagering requirements—you can't withdraw until rollover completes.
Bet settlement disputes
If you believe a bet settled incorrectly (like you backed over 2.5 goals, match ended 3-1, but bet shows as lost), contact support with your bet ID number. Provide the match details and why you think it's wrong. The team reviews official match statistics from their data provider and corrects genuine errors within 24 hours. Most "disputes" are actually misunderstandings about bet rules—for example, betting on "Team A to win" loses if the match draws, even if Team A was winning at halftime.
Expected response times
| Contact method | Weekday hours (8 AM-6 PM) | Evenings & weekends |
|---|---|---|
| Live chat | Under 5 minutes | 5-15 minutes |
| 4-6 hours | 8-12 hours | |

Resolution times vary by complexity—simple issues (password resets, bonus activation, general questions) resolve during the initial contact. Technical problems (app not loading, website errors), payment investigations (failed M-Pesa, missing withdrawals), or account security matters (suspected unauthorized access) may take 4-24 hours while the team investigates with relevant departments or payment providers.
