Mobile Money deposits are the go-to method in Rwanda: fast, no bank account needed, and a low minimum (500 RWF). Once your account is created, just pick your operator, enter the amount and confirm with the SMS code. The balance updates right away.
Deposit methods available in Rwanda
- MTN Mobile Money — the most used, instant deposit.
- Airtel Money — just as fast, same principle.
- Visa/Mastercard cards and e-wallets (for those who have them).
- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, USDT) for experienced players.
For the vast majority of Rwandan players, MTN and Airtel Money cover every need. The other options are there for those who prefer them.
Deposit by MTN Mobile Money — step by step
- Log in to your Betwinner account.
- Open the "Deposit" section in your account area.
- Choose MTN Mobile Money among the methods.
- Enter the amount (minimum 500 RWF) and your MTN number.
- Confirm: a prompt arrives on your phone.
- Enter your Mobile Money PIN to confirm the payment.

Deposit by Airtel Money
The process is identical: choose Airtel Money instead of MTN, enter the amount and your Airtel number, then confirm with your PIN. No difference in speed or minimum between the two operators.
