Tigo Pesa is now Mixx by Yas · Tigo Pesa ni Mixx by Yas
Tigo rebranded to Yas in Tanzania and the mobile-money product became Mixx by Yas. Yas dates the brand change to November 2024, says in as many words that Tigo Pesa was rebranded to Mixx by Yas, and confirms that the same USSD codes still work. The wallet, the balance, the number and the agent network are unchanged; only the name and the app branding did. The self-service code Yas publishes for Mixx by Yas is *150*01#.
On the betting side you will see it listed as Mixx by Yas, or occasionally still as Tigo Pesa on older interfaces. Both refer to the same rail — pick whichever appears in your cashier.

Withdrawing to Mixx by Yas · kutoa pesa
Withdrawals typically clear in ten to sixty minutes. As on HaloPesa, the wider band reflects volume rather than any reliability problem, and most cash-outs land well inside it.
Three different parties set the numbers on this rail, and knowing which is which removes most of the guesswork. Yas sets the wallet's per-transaction and daily ceilings; they depend on how fully the wallet is registered, and a fully registered wallet has considerably higher ones — upgrading is done at a Yas agent with an ID. Yas also sets the transfer fee, which is banded by amount and published in its own tariff. The bookmaker sets the cashier minimum and maximum and shows both in the form at the moment you use it. Nothing on this page overrides either of them.
Because the network tariff is banded, several small withdrawals cost noticeably more in total than one larger one; if there is no hurry, consolidate. You can read your own current wallet ceiling straight from the operator by dialling *150*01# and opening the account or self-service branch.

Where these come from. The code above is the operator's own self-service code: Vodacom publishes *150*00# for M-Pesa in its consumer terms and on its current tariff sheet, Airtel Tanzania publishes *150*60# in its Smart Banking terms (the same document names option 6, Financial Services, as the branch that holds transfers), Yas publishes *150*01# for Mixx by Yas in its consumer FAQ, and HaloPesa publishes *150*88# on its own site. Minimums, maximums and payout fees are not printed here as numbers, and that is deliberate: they depend on your account, the day and how fully your wallet is registered, they change without notice, and a figure lifted from an article is how a transaction gets rejected. Every line above says which of the cashier or the wallet menu holds the live figure.
The rule that actually stops payouts
The Mixx by Yas wallet must be registered in the same name as the betting account, and the number attached to the account must be the number you cash out to. A payout requested to somebody else's wallet — a spouse's, a friend's, an agent's — goes to manual review, and the balance can sit frozen while that review runs. This is the most common reason a Tanzanian payout stalls, and it is the one thing on this page you can fix for free today, before you deposit rather than after you win. If the names genuinely differ, the verification guide covers what evidence resolves it; if you have an open bet you would rather not leave hanging while it is sorted out, see cash out. If a withdrawal is already sitting unpaid, withdrawal pending is the page for that.
The usual three conditions apply — verified account, matching number, no active bonus wagering. See withdrawals.
Common mistakes · makosa ya kawaida
The number is registered under the old Tigo format. If your betting account was created before the rebrand, the number itself has not changed, so nothing needs updating. Only the display name did.
Prompt does not arrive. Cancel in the cashier and start again rather than retrying a pending request.
Limit reached. Yas applies daily and per-transaction ceilings tied to wallet registration level. Upgrading at a Yas agent with ID raises them.
Transaction missing. Wait five minutes, then contact support on +255 655 759 335 with the Yas transaction reference from the SMS.
Which rail suits you · ipi ni bora kwako
All four rails do the same job on this operator. M-Pesa and Airtel Money are marginally faster on withdrawals; HaloPesa and Mixx by Yas are marginally slower and entirely reliable.
The correct choice is the wallet you already use, with the number registered on your betting account. Chasing a fifteen-minute difference in payout speed is not worth the risk of a mismatched number, which is what actually stops payouts.
Compare the rails side by side on the deposit page.
Confirm the wallet name, live limit and transaction reference before sending money.
