Withdrawing your winnings from Kagwirawo Uganda is a straightforward process designed to get your money to you quickly and securely. The platform uses Uganda’s reliable mobile money infrastructure to ensure fast and convenient withdrawals directly to your MTN or Airtel mobile money account. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the withdrawal process, including important limits, processing times, and fees you should know about.
Available Withdrawal Methods
Kagwirawo Uganda offers withdrawals through the same mobile money services used for deposits, maintaining consistency and convenience for users:
MTN Mobile Money: Direct withdrawals to your MTN mobile money account Airtel Money: Direct withdrawals to your Airtel mobile money account
These are the only withdrawal methods available on the platform, but since MTN and Airtel serve the vast majority of Ugandan mobile users, this covers most players’ needs effectively.
Withdrawal Limits and Restrictions
Understanding Kagwirawo’s withdrawal limits is crucial for planning your cash-outs:
Daily Withdrawal Limit
The maximum amount you can withdraw per day is UGX 2,000,000 (Two Million Ugandan Shillings). This limit helps ensure security while accommodating most players’ withdrawal needs.
Maximum Winnings Cap
Kagwirawo has a overall winning limit of UGX 20,000,000 from any single bet, which effectively serves as the maximum you can have available for withdrawal from individual wins.
Important: Withholding Tax Deduction
Before your withdrawal is processed, Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) regulations require Kagwirawo to deduct a 15% withholding tax from all customer winnings. This means:
- If you win UGX 10,000, you’ll actually receive UGX 8,500 after tax
- If you win UGX 20,000, you’ll receive UGX 17,000 after the 15% deduction
- The tax is automatically calculated and deducted from your winnings
This tax applies to winnings only, not to your original stake amount.
