Minaki-X is Kenya's first comprehensive anti-gambling solution. It blocks betting websites, intercepts M-Pesa gambling transactions, and helps you stay accountable — all through a secure VPN-powered protection system.

Minaki-X protects you from gambling through three powerful detection systems working together seamlessly.
All DNS queries are routed through a secure, encrypted DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) tunnel. Betting domains are blocked at the network level before they can even load — no app can bypass it.
Detects and blocks STK Push payments to known betting paybills (290290, 290059, and 20+ more). The overlay warning appears instantly when a gambling transaction is detected.
Intercepts betting USSD shortcodes like *544# (SportPesa) and *389*5# (Betway) before they reach the carrier. The call is redirected and the betting attempt is blocked.
Monitors incoming SMS notifications for M-Pesa betting transaction receipts. Parses paybill numbers, till numbers, and betting keywords to detect and report gambling activity.
Link an accountability partner who receives a verification PIN. Once confirmed, your device is locked into protection mode. The partner is notified of any blocked gambling attempts.
View your protection status at a glance — blocked domains today, intercepted USSD attempts, SMS alerts, and financial transactions blocked. See your progress over time.
Get protected in minutes. Minaki-X runs silently in the background, keeping you safe from gambling temptation.
