If you’re a Kenyan punter looking for a sportsbook, you’ve got quite some options as the Kenyan sports betting market has really opened up in recent years. Not all bookies offer the same quality of service, but our first impression of what’s on offer at SportyBet Kenya is very positive as this is probably the cleanest website we’ve come across so far. Other factors than a nice website that we take into consideration in our sportsbook reviews are banking methods, games offered, customer service, and promos — which is exactly what we’ve done here as well.

Tоdаy, we’ll go through everything about this bookmaker that has operated legally in Kenya since 2018, but is part of a Nigerian betting company that has gained popularity across the African continent. Wе’ll оutlinе аll уоu shоuld knоw аbоut this bооkmаkеr fоr yоu tо dесidе yourself whether оr nоt thеy аrе thе bеst sports betting website in Kenya fоr yоu.

About SportyBet

SportyBet is clearly one of the most professional bookies in Africa. They launched their service in Nigeria in 2007, but have since moved into Kenya’s betting industry and are now considered a very established brand in Kenya as well. They are owned by SportyBet Limited Trading and are licenced and regulated by BCLB under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, Cap 131, Laws of Kenya. The SportyBet Kenya website looks professional, clear and clean, and we actually consider this the best website that we’ve come across so far. The interface provides pretty much everything players in Kenya need to make their bets. This also means great promos, jackpots and overall it gives a complete gaming experience. Apart from Kenya and Nigeria, SportBet’s service is also available in Ghana and Tanzania.

SportyBet Builder

Bet builders are also getting a hold on players in Africa who want to maximise their betting experience by adding more than one bet to their bet slip. Luckily, SportyBet Kenya lets you do this as well, which is a service we clearly enjoy a lot. Not all bookmakers in Kenya let you create your own builds, but SportyBet offers an easy to understand platform to get the most out of your bets. All you’ll need to do is head to the sportsbook and add the selections to your bet slip. You’ll automatically see the odds that come with the elements you want to wager on.

Cash out feature

This popular Kenyan betting website also offers a cash out feature. The cash out feature allows you to settle your bets before the game has ended. This is usually done by players who see this as the safest option or are satisfied with the outcome of their current bet. The cash out feature is used increasingly by players in Africa and fortunately SportyBet gives you the flexibility to make use of this feature as well.

Mobile Betting App

 

Both the mobile version of the SportyBet Kenya website and the mobile app are spot on. The fully responsive, mobile version of the site works smoothly and pretty much every section of the regular website can be accessed on a mobile device as well. You’ll find the mobile menu on the left-hand side of the page, which is where you’ll see the search feature as well. Use this field to look up a certain match, sports team, or competition. At the bottom of the page, you will find the Open Bets and Betslip buttons which should get you going while you’re out and about. The SportyBet Kenya mobile app is similar to the mobile version of the website and is available for Android users. We find the mobile website to work just fine though.

Depositing Money

Payments are increasingly performed on a mobile device in Africa and Kenya is one of the many countries across the continent that have adopted mobile money. Where online credit card payments are a lot less common, SportyBet have decided to offer mobile payments only. This is done by M-Pesa, the country’s most popular banking method. The website lists a Mpesa pay bill number for both deposits and withdrawals. The minimum deposit amount is 50 KSH.

Live streaming

The website’s Live Betting looks great and it’s in this section where you’ll find the live sports events. These are clearly displayed and accompanied with great visuals that‘ll get you in the mood for your next wager. The Match Tracker will also show all the biggest fixtures coming up. A feature that will come in handy is the option to switch between Single View and Multi View. The live streaming will make punters watch the most popular games like football.

Why should you place bets with this bookmaker?

Sporty sportsbook has been around since 2007 in Nigeria and it has been active in Kenya since 2018 which means punters aren’t playing at a novice bookie. With vast experience in the African market of sports betting we believe we can say that SportBet can be considered one of the most professional bookmakers available in Kenya. Other advantages are:

• Live betting: SportyBet’s sportsbook gives punters in Kenya plenty of options to bet on live sports including football, basketball, and baseball.

• Bet builder: SportyBet’s sportsbook gives its players the option to easily build their own bets. All you’ll have to do is add multiple bets to your bet slip.

• Neat website: out of the Kenyan bookmakers we have reviewed, this is by far the nicest and easiest to use website.
• Easy transactions: payments at SportyBet are instantly processed and work with the banking methods that virtually all Kenyans are familiar with.
• Kenyan licence: SportyBet Limited is licensed by BCLB (Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya), making sure players can count on Kenyan assistance in case of any questions or disputes regarding the bookmaker’s service.

Sporty Bonuses: what to expect?

Apart from the welcome bonus for new players, there is a referral bonus that gives you money if a friend registers and makes a deposit. There are other promos as well, but as they vary, we recommend you to regularly check SportyBet’s promo page.

Referral Bonus

Something you’ll see often at Kenyan gambling websites, is a referral bonus. SportyBet also works with a cool referral system that gives you the option to earn some extra money when a friend signs up on this website. SportBet Kenya’s referral bonus gives you a commission of 20% on your referral bets in a month. This means that, for example, if you can refer 2 friends who then bet 200 KSH each in a period of a month, you will earn 20% of 400 (2x 200 KSH) = 80 KSH. This is a referral program that works out well for everyone involved.

How it works and terms & conditions

There are of course some bonus terms and conditions we recommend you to check out on the promo page. SportyBet Kenya is a website that works with very clear terms & conditions, so make sure to check them out before you sign up for a bonus.

Customer Support

SportyBet Kenya does its best to deliver a good customer support service which is something we can confirm based on our own experience with their customer care team. Not only were they very responsive, the support agents we chatted with were very professional as well. As you’ve probably read in our other reviews of Kenyan bookmakers, this isn’t always something to take for granted. Luckily, SportyBet shows how things need to be done.

There are different ways to contact SportyBet Kenya’s support desk:

• Live chat: 24/7/365.
• Email: [email protected].
• Phone: 0207640825.
• Social media: Facebook and Twitter.

Payment Options

Transactions are secured and easily carried out on SportyBet’s straightforward website. The most used banking method in Kenya is Safaricom’s M-Pesa which is also the only banking method available on this website. In order to make a deposit you’ll need to use pay bill number 202202 which works instantly. Withdrawals are also facilitated by M-Pesa. Please take into account that there are some limits:

• Maximum payout per bet: 4,000,000 KSH.
• Daily maximum winnings per user: 15,000,000 KSH.
• Daily sportsbook maximum payout: 1,000,000,000 KSH.
