Electricity tariffs go up every year and the meter always runs out at the worst time β€” in the middle of supper, the night before a deadline, the morning of a job interview. Mocash gives you a way to keep the lights on without dipping into the household budget.

You play free lotteries, scratch cards, raffles and daily money drops. Every entry is free. When you win, that cash goes into your Mocash wallet and you can redeem a prepaid electricity token for your Eskom or municipal meter.

The token comes through as a 20-digit voucher number that you punch into your meter box exactly like any prepaid purchase β€” except you did not pay for it.

Four free steps between signing up and units on your meter.

  1. πŸ“ Create your free Mocash account

Frequently asked questions

How can I get free electricity in South Africa?

With Mocash you get free prepaid electricity by playing free lotteries, scratch cards, raffles and daily money drops. Every game is free to enter, and any money you win can be redeemed as a prepaid electricity token for your Eskom or municipal meter.

How does the prepaid token work?

It is the standard 20-digit prepaid electricity voucher number. You enter your meter number when redeeming, we SMS you the token, and you key it into your meter box exactly like a token bought at a supermarket or through your banking app.

Does it work with Eskom and municipal meters?

Yes. Tokens are supported for Eskom-billed households and the major metros including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Tshwane, eThekwini, Ekurhuleni and Nelson Mandela Bay.

How much free electricity can I win?

Prizes range from small top-ups to larger amounts, depending on the game and the day's prize pool. Smaller wins stack in your wallet, so you can save up and redeem one bigger token.

Is this the same as the free basic electricity grant?

No. Free Basic Electricity is a government indigent subsidy you apply for through your municipality. Mocash is separate β€” it is a rewards platform, and winning here does not affect any grant you already receive.

Do I have to pay anything to enter?

No. There is no entry fee, no deposit and no subscription. Mocash is funded by advertising and partner offers, which is what pays for the prizes.

How long does the token take to arrive?

Usually a few minutes. Once you redeem, the token is generated and sent to the cellphone number on your account.

When does Mocash launch?

Very soon. Join the waitlist and we will notify you the moment the app goes live so you can play from the first day's prize pool.
