Shabiki registration is done online at shabiki.com with your Kenyan mobile number and a password; like most Kenyan bookmakers, it is normally confirmed with a code sent by SMS. Joining is free and you must be 18 or older. Because the site only opens from Kenya, register on a Kenyan connection without a VPN.

What you need to join Shabiki

  • A Kenyan mobile number registered in your name, ideally Safaricom for M-Pesa.
  • A password you do not use anywhere else, and never your M-Pesa PIN.
  • Access to SMS on that line for the confirmation code.
  • Your national ID, in case the operator asks for verification later.

Shabiki registration online, step by step

  1. Open the official site through the button below and check the address is shabiki.com.
  2. Tap Register or Join.
  3. Enter your phone number and create a password.
  4. Read and accept the terms, which include the age rule.
  5. Enter the code that arrives by SMS to activate the account.
  6. Log in and check your profile details.

The exact screens can differ slightly from this list, since we could not open the site from outside Kenya; follow the prompts on the official page.

ProblemFix

"Number already registered"Use Forgot Password instead of a new account
No SMS codeCheck signal and inbox space, wait, then request one new code
Code rejectedUse the latest code only; older ones expire

After you join

Make your first deposit from the registered number; our Shabiki paybill guide explains the safe M-Pesa prompt. If you want the Supa Jackpot, read the card rules first, and if you are drawn to Aviator, read our Shabiki Aviator page so you know how fast money moves in crash games. Current offers for new players are on our Shabiki bonus page.

One account, your own details

Use one account in your own name. Registering on someone else's line, or opening a second account, can lead to frozen winnings when the operator checks identity. And no one needs to charge you to "activate" a Shabiki account; that is a scam. For general background on opening betting accounts in Kenya, see our how to bet guide.

Is joining Shabiki right for you?

Shabiki suits punters who like cheap jackpot entries and crash-game promotions. If you mainly want an app from an official store, SMS betting you can confirm in advance, or a long list of payment options, compare it with other licensed bookmakers on our best betting sites in Kenya page before you register. Opening accounts at many bookmakers multiplies the temptation to bet, so pick one or two and stick with them. Betting is strictly 18+, and the operator can ask for ID before paying out, so register only with your own details.
