What the 5% levy means for your deposit
Since 1 January 2026 the Betting Levy Act takes 5% of every deposit into and every withdrawal from an online betting account in Zambia. It applies at every bookmaker, on every wallet, and comes off before the money lands. Your network may charge its own transfer fee on top.
Claiming the GSB welcome bonus with Zamtel Money
New customers can claim a free bet worth 100% of their first deposit, up to K2,000, by betting the deposit three times at total odds of 3.0 or more within 30 days. GSB’s promotions page and pop-ups currently advertise 200% up to K2,000, so check the cashier for the current figure before you deposit.
Deposits made with Zamtel Money qualify for the welcome offer like any other method. Work out the levy first: a K100 deposit becomes K95, so a 100% match gives you a K95 bonus.
Other ways to pay at GSB
You can also deposit cash at any GSB shop: give the cashier your Player ID (shown in My Profile), take the receipt with its transfer code, then choose Shop Cash in the deposit menu and enter the code. Winnings can be collected as cash at a shop in the same way.
Fixing Zamtel Money deposit and withdrawal problems
Most Zamtel Money problems at betting sites come down to a handful of causes. Work through these before you contact support:
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The PIN prompt never arrived | Turn off pop-up blocking, check the number on your betting account matches your wallet, and try again once. |
| Money left my wallet but isn’t in my account | Find the Zamtel transaction ID in your SMS and send it to the bookmaker’s support. Don’t deposit again until it’s traced. |
| Withdrawal is “pending” | Check whether the bookmaker wants ID documents. First withdrawals are often held for verification. |
| Withdrawal rejected | The name on your betting account must match the name on your Zamtel wallet. Bonus wagering must also be complete. |
| Deposit smaller than expected | That’s the 5% betting levy, plus any network fee. K100 becomes K95 in your account. |
Betting safely with Zamtel Money
- Never share your mobile money PIN with anyone, including people who say they work for a bookmaker or network.
- Only deposit after checking you’re on the bookmaker’s real site. Fake “agents” on social media asking you to send Zamtel money directly are scams.
- Register with the number on your own wallet. Most bookmakers only pay out to the account holder.
- Set a deposit limit in your betting account. Fast mobile money deposits make it easy to spend more than you planned.
- Keep your transaction SMS messages until each deposit or withdrawal has cleared.
