M-Pesa for Aviator in Tanzania: Facts, Limits and Safety
Bank of Tanzania identifies M-Pesa as a Tanzania electronic-money issuer. Vodacom's published tariff says a fully registered customer may send up to TZS 5 million per day and hold up to TZS 10 million; those wallet limits are not casino limits.
