Chezacash Review

Kenya’s thriving sports betting scene is constantly growing and evolving to accommodate demand. Online sportsbooks are available to Kenyan players from both local and international providers.

A recent upgrade to their site has improved their service by leaps and bounds, and it’s definitely helped to garner interest from a wider audience. In this Chezacash review, we’ll take a look at the inner workings of this betting platform to see if there is any substance behind the newly painted façade. We’ll cover all the angles in an attempt to help you decide if it’s a site that’s worth your precious time and money – read on to find out all there is to know about Chezacash.

The sports available to bet on are as follows:

Registration

It is easy to sign up for an account at Chezacash. You can choose to sign up in one of two ways: by sending an SMS (offline) or visiting the website (online). Here’s how to sign up on the website:

• Use your mobile device or desktop computer to locate www.chezacash.com
• Click on the ‘Register’ button located in the top right corner of the homepage
• Enter your phone number when prompted to do so by the pop-up
• Click on the OK button to confirm your phone number
• Wait for an SMS that will provide your PIN number
• Use your phone number and PIN to log in to your account
• Make your first deposit

If you prefer to sign up using the offline method, all you need to do is send an SMS with the word ‘WIN’ to 29030. You will then receive an SMS with your PIN. The phone number that you use to register will be the phone number that you’ll need to use to log in to your account online.

Payments

Chezacash has made it extremely easy to make deposits and withdrawals. However, unfortunately, there are only two payment methods available to make financial transactions: Mpesa and Airtel Mobile Money. Of the two, Mpesa is the more popular option, but both are considered trustworthy and safe banking methods.

To make a deposit, all you need to do open your banking app on your mobile device and choose to ‘PAYBILL’. You will then be prompted to enter the number of the business that you wish to pay, in this case 290030, and the name of the business: Chezacash. You will then be asked to enter the amount that you wish to pay (deposit). Once you have confirmed the payment with your banking PIN code, the money will be in your Chezacash account in a matter of minutes.

Withdrawals work in a similar fashion. You can send a withdrawal request via SMS to 29030 using the following shortcode: W#ChezaCashPIN#Amount. Your winnings will immediately be sent to your Mpesa account. Alternatively, you can request a withdrawal from within the Chezacash website. Simply locate the accounts section and select ‘Withdrawal’. Enter the amount that you would like to withdraw and click to confirm. Keep in mind that you will need to confirm your identity prior to making your first withdrawal.

Why Use Chezacash

Chezacash is a safe and secure platform. The site has grown steadily and improved over time. The recent facelift has fixed many of the usability issues of the past, and players have responded positively to the new look. Here’s a quick breakdown of the pros and cons associated with this betting platform:

Pros

• Chezacash provides players with a sleek and easy to use platform.
• It is possible to make a large variety of bets, including live betting.
• Chezacash offer competitive odds.
• Chezacash offers a generous welcome offer to new players as well as some excellent ongoing promotions, such as the ‘Deposit Fee Refund’ ‘Vuta Friend Free Bet’ ‘Multibet Boost’ ‘Power Jackpot’ and ‘Redeem Points’.
• Deposits and withdrawals are hassle free and instantaneous.
• Players can access the Chezacash mobile sportsbook directly via the browser of a mobile device.

Cons

• Chezacash charges deposit and withdrawal fees
• The platform does not feature a casino
• There is no mobile app
• Chezacash is small in comparison to other, better-known sportsbooks
• No FAQ page

Customer Support

Customer support is available to players 24/7 via the live chat function on the website. It is also possible to contact a member of staff via telephone on 0709 978 000. There is very little in the way of readable information on the site itself, so you will need to contact customer support for the answer to most queries.

Conclusion

Chezacash offers players a safe and solid platform for sports betting. The site is easy to use, and its also easy on the eye. We like how easy it is to register for an account, and how easy it is to use Mpesa to make deposits and withdrawals. However, Chezacash still has some way to go before they can truly compete with the bigger, more popular platforms. It would be great to see them add a casino section to their site, and we’d love to see an increase in the number of live betting events. But if you’re just looking for a small, well-run betting site to place a few sports bets now and again, then this is certainly a viable option.
