Betting sites using EcoCash: who publishes the route
Betting sites using EcoCash publish the route on their own deposit pages, and that page is the test. Bezbets names EcoCash and sets stakes from ZiG 10 to ZiG 500 or US$50 in its betting terms. AfricaBet and Spin City each run a step-by-step EcoCash guide. AfricaBet and MWOS are listed on the Board's operator locator.
| Bookmaker | Company | Licence number | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| MWOS | MWOS Ltd. | – | On the local register |
| AfricaBet | Africa Gaming (Private) Limited | – | On the local register |
| PrideBet | Boulders Incorporated (Pvt) Ltd | – | Operator-stated licence |
| SpinCity | – | 9547860 | Operator-stated licence |
| Winbucks | – | – | No local licence |
The ranked offshore brands, 22Bet, BetWinner, Melbet, 1xBet and 888Starz, settle in USD through their own routes; none publishes EcoCash. The local bookmakers above are listed for licence checking and carry no bet-now link.
ZiG betting sites and the two EcoCash wallets
ZiG betting sites keep a ZiG balance, and EcoCash runs separate ZiG and USD wallets, so the first check is which wallet the bookmaker's cashier accepts. Bezbets accepts ZiG stakes between ZiG 10 and ZiG 500 and USD stakes up to US$50 per bet, the clearest published ZiG rule among local brands.
Most local brands keep a USD balance alongside, and the offshore brands settle only in USD. A deposit from the wrong wallet is rejected at the prompt, and a withdrawal goes back to the wallet the deposit came from. The ranked brands list cards, e-wallets and crypto, which keeps them outside the EcoCash route altogether.
Keep the betting account in the currency you earn and spend in; converting between ZiG and USD inside a bookmaker costs a spread on top of the 25% tax.
How an EcoCash deposit and withdrawal work
An EcoCash deposit starts in the bookmaker's cashier: choose EcoCash, pick the ZiG or USD wallet where the site offers both, enter the amount, and approve the prompt on your Econet line with your PIN. Where a merchant code is used instead, the account reference is your registered number.
- Register with the phone number tied to your EcoCash wallet; the names must match at withdrawal.
- Deposit through the prompt or merchant code; the balance updates within seconds.
- Request a withdrawal to the same wallet; the bookmaker deducts 25% of the winnings at a licensed book.
- Check the wallet limits in the EcoCash app, because they apply on top of the bookmaker's own limit, US$1,000 a day at Bezbets.
A withdrawal to a different number stalls at the identity check, so keep the account number and the wallet number identical from the first deposit.
Betting sites that accept ZiG in Zimbabwe under the 25% withholding
Betting sites that accept ZiG in Zimbabwe, when locally licensed, keep back the same 25% of gross winnings as the USD books, under the Finance Act in force since 1 January 2026. A ZiG 100 stake at 3.00 returns ZiG 300; the ZiG 200 of winnings loses ZiG 50, and the payout is ZiG 250.
There is no tax-free threshold, so a small ZiG win carries the same rate as a large USD one. The offshore brands withhold nothing, but they publish no EcoCash or ZiG route and sit outside the Board's reach.
Work the 25% into the price: a 2.00 at a licensed book pays the same as 1.75 at a site that withholds nothing, and compare the board after that haircut.
InnBucks, cards and the offshore routes
InnBucks is the USD wallet several local bookmakers accept beside EcoCash, and bank cards complete the local set. The ranked offshore brands publish cards and e-wallets, settled in USD.
