Shabiki Aviator: how to log in, deposit and play
Shabiki is the jackpot bookmaker that turned Aviator into its second product and put the winners on Citizen TV. Here is the full route in: registration, login, paybill 290063, stakes, withdrawals and what the taxman keeps.
Updated 20 October 2026
Shabiki made its name on the Shabiki Jackpot and the Power 17, then did something clever: it put Aviator winners on the news. Search the brand and the first page is Citizen TV clips of someone from Kakamega collecting KSh 500,000 from the plane, a how-to video from Inooro FM, and the Shabiki Aviator Facebook page. It is good marketing. It is also why "shabiki aviator" is searched 20,000 times a month by people who have never opened the casino menu. This page is the part the videos skip: where the game is, how the account works, what the paybill is, and what the withdrawal really takes.
Shabiki's casino list. Aviator is the first tile, which tells you what the brand thinks of it.
Where Aviator is on Shabiki
Unlike Betika, Shabiki does not put Aviator in the top menu. Log in at shabiki.com, open the Casino section from the header (on mobile it is in the menu drawer alongside Sport, Live, Live Casino and Jackpot), and Aviator is the first game in the list. There is also a dedicated Aviator page linked from the casino menu. Both open the same official Spribe build using your main Shabiki balance; there is no casino wallet to move money into.
If you are on the app, the Casino tab is in the bottom bar and the same list appears. If someone on Facebook sent you a "shabiki aviator link", ignore it and use the menu; the genuine site is shabiki.com and nothing else.
Registering with your Safaricom number
- Open shabiki.com and tap Create Account. It is top right on the home page.
- Enter your mobile number. Use the Safaricom line you deposit from; M-Pesa deposits are matched to it and withdrawals only go to it. Airtel Money also works, through the same registered number.
- Set a password and confirm it. Shabiki asks for a password rather than a short PIN.
- Confirm you are 18 or over, accept the terms, and tap Register.
- Enter the SMS code. Shabiki texts a verification code to the number. Type it in and the account is live. Open Casino, tap Aviator, and watch a few rounds before you deposit.
Shabiki asks for your national ID number, either at registration or before the first withdrawal. It is a BCLB rule rather than a Shabiki one, and a first withdrawal that waits on verification is the single most common complaint we hear about this brand, so do it early.
Shabiki Aviator login and password reset
"Shabiki aviator login" is searched about 5,000 times a month and, as with every Kenyan brand, the people searching it assume the game has its own door. It does not. Open shabiki.com, tap Login, enter your registered phone number and your password, tap Login, then open Casino and tap Aviator. On the app the session persists.
When login fails: check the number is in 07XXXXXXXX format with no country code; if the password is wrong, stop guessing after two tries, tap Forgot password, enter the number and wait for the SMS code, then set a new password. If the code never arrives, the line may be inactive or the account registered on a number you no longer hold; support can move it after verifying your ID.
One more warning, because the Shabiki SERP is thick with social links: the only place to type your Shabiki password is shabiki.com or the official app. This link goes there.
Depositing to paybill 290063
Shabiki's M-Pesa paybill is 290063. The account number is your registered phone number.
- Open M-Pesa, choose Lipa na M-PESA, then Pay Bill.
- Business number 290063.
- Account number: your registered Shabiki phone number, written as 07XXXXXXXX with no plus sign or spaces.
- Enter the amount. The paybill directory we checked lists a KSh 50 minimum by paybill; Shabiki's own deposit screen has quoted a floor as low as KSh 1. Take the deposit page as the current figure. Maximum per transaction is in the region of KSh 150,000.
- Enter your M-PESA PIN and confirm. The balance updates within a minute or two in normal conditions. If it has not after five, keep the confirmation SMS; support needs the transaction code.
The in-site shortcut is the Deposit button in the header: enter an amount, select M-Pesa, confirm, and approve the prompt on your phone. Either route carries the M-Pesa paybill tariff on manual payments and the Kenyan excise deduction on the way in, which the tax section covers.
Stakes and the round on Shabiki
Minimum stake is KSh 10 per bet panel, two panels per round. Maximum stake and the per-round payout cap are shown in the bet panel and have moved around, so trust the panel over any blog. The game is the official Spribe build, 97% RTP, two bets, auto cash-out, provably fair, and Shabiki cannot change the odds. The global Aviator page has the hit-rate table for every target multiplier.
A Shabiki-specific observation from playing it: the site is mobile-first and feels cramped on desktop, and the casino frame can be slow to load on a Saturday when the jackpot traffic peaks. Set auto cash-out before the round rather than relying on a tap, because the delay on a weak connection is longer than the plane's patience.
Shabiki Aviator promotions
Shabiki's marketing around Aviator has three shapes, and we describe them without numbers because the numbers change weekly.
Winner campaigns. Shabiki promotes big Aviator wins on TV and social media, sometimes with a prize pool for the highest multipliers in a period. It is a leaderboard with a camera crew. The mechanics are the same as any Aviator challenge: top of the board wins, which rewards volume.
Free bets and crash-game bonuses. Occasional Aviator and crash promotions, including free bets tied to deposits or to a day of the week, and rains in the game chat. Winnings from free bets become balance once conditions are met.
Welcome offer. A first-deposit offer aimed mainly at the sportsbook, with wagering conditions on accumulator bets. It is not an Aviator bonus and casino play usually does not count toward the wagering.
Withdrawing to M-Pesa, and what comes off
Tap your balance, choose Withdraw, enter at least KSh 50, confirm. The money goes to the M-Pesa line on the account.
On timing, Shabiki is the brand where the sources disagree most, so we print all of them. Shabiki's own guidance says 15 to 30 minutes on a verified account and up to 24 hours for a first withdrawal that needs verification, with up to 48 hours in rare cases. Third-party reviews we checked report "several hours" and "4 to 12 hours" at busy times. Brian's log sits between: usually under an hour on a verified account in working hours, longer on weekend evenings. Plan on hours and treat minutes as a bonus. If nothing has arrived after the stated window, use live chat with the reference number.
Tax is Kenyan law, identical at every licensed operator. Winnings carry a 20% withholding tax, deducted before payout, so a KSh 1,000 Aviator win pays KSh 800. Stakes carried a 15% excise duty for years; the 2025 Finance Act restructured that to a 5% excise on deposits, which is why KSh 100 paid in becomes KSh 95 of balance. Shabiki deducts all of it automatically. The practical effect is that the real return on the plane is below the 97% RTP before you have even placed a bet.
What Shabiki does well with Aviator, and what it does not
The good: Aviator is first in the casino list, the brand runs real promotions around it, the paybill works, the apps are decent, and the jackpot gives you something to do with a bet slip when the plane has had your money. Shabiki is BCLB-licensed and pays.
The less good: withdrawals are slower and less predictable than Betika's or Odibets', support response lags at peak, the minimum deposit is quoted differently in different places, and the TV-winner marketing gives new players a wildly wrong idea of how often 500x happens. The casino around Aviator is slot-heavy and shallow on tables. And the game sits in a menu rather than on the home page, which is a small thing until you are on a slow connection.
Alternatives on this site
Betika has the largest Aviator chat in Kenya, daily rains, paybill 290290, and withdrawals that usually land in minutes. Pepeta puts Aviator on the home page and takes deposits by STK push, with no paybill to type. Both are BCLB-licensed.

Predictors, hacks and the winner videos
The Shabiki winner clips are the perfect advert for predictor sellers, who reply under every one with a Telegram handle. The crash point is computed from a server seed and three player seeds, hashed before the round and verifiable after. No app sees it first. The "Shabiki Aviator predictor" is a random-number toy, a phishing page for your login, or a referral link, and usually all three. Our predictor guide has the detail.
Keep it a game
Set a session budget before you deposit, set auto cash-out and a take-profit, and stop at either. Shabiki's account settings include deposit limits and self-exclusion. If gambling has stopped being fun, Kenya's mental health line is 1199. 18+ only. For how the Kenyan brands compare side by side, see Aviator in Kenya and the Kenya hub.
Frequently asked questions
How do I log in to Shabiki Aviator?
Open shabiki.com, tap Login, enter your registered phone number and password, and tap Login. Then open Casino and tap Aviator, which is the first game in the list. The game uses your ordinary Shabiki balance; there is no separate Aviator login.
What is the Shabiki paybill number for M-Pesa?
Shabiki's M-Pesa paybill is 290063, with your registered Safaricom number as the account number. The paybill directory we checked gives a KSh 50 minimum through the paybill; the in-site deposit button quotes a lower floor. Excise is deducted before the money reaches your balance.
What is the minimum stake on Shabiki Aviator?
KSh 10 per bet, with two bet panels per round, so KSh 20 is the smallest full round. The maximum stake and the per-round payout cap are shown inside the game and have changed over time, so read the bet panel rather than an old blog post.
How long do Shabiki withdrawals take?
Minimum withdrawal is KSh 50 by Shabiki's own figures. Published times vary more than at other brands: Shabiki's guidance says 15 to 30 minutes on a verified account, up to 24 hours for a first withdrawal, and third-party reviews report several hours at busy times. Budget for hours, be pleased by minutes.
I forgot my Shabiki password. How do I reset it?
On the login page tap Forgot password, enter the registered phone number, and Shabiki sends a code by SMS. Enter it and set a new password. If no SMS arrives, check the line is active; support can verify you by ID if the number has changed.
Does Shabiki have an Aviator bonus?
Shabiki runs occasional Aviator and crash-game promotions, free-bet campaigns and the televised Shabiki Aviator winner pushes, and a first-deposit welcome offer aimed mainly at sports. There is no permanent Aviator bonus. Amounts change, so read the promotions page on the day.
Is there a Shabiki Aviator app?
Shabiki has Android and iOS apps and a mobile site; Aviator runs inside both. There is no standalone Aviator app from Spribe. Any 'Shabiki Aviator APK' from a download site or Telegram link is not from Shabiki and should be ignored.
