What’s sports betting market is divided between almost 50 companies and players can choose, where to bet. During last two years after tax scandal with SportPesa and other big players happened, a big hole appeared on the market and companies began real struggle for customers. In this article we will try to analyze, what kind of bonuses are being offered to kenyans on a sports betting market.

Some bonuses are “standard”, but in order to look different, very often sports betting companies are customizing famous bonuses and make small changes in order to differ from competitors (conditions and types), so we decided to put them in a list as they are offered and presented by companies. Bonus comparison is hard due to time limit they’re offered. Moreover, situation on the market is changing very fast and today’s bonuses can and will be different in a couple of months.

Free deposit bonus

As every player on kenyan sports betting market knows, every time you deposit money on your betting account using your mPesa wallet, you pay fee (table of fees while depositing on a gaming account). Another big company, Betika, top-3 on a kenyan market is returning back 5 KES as a partial compensation of mPesa transaction fee while depositing funds on your Betika gaming account. This is small amount, but still it’s better than nothing.

An offer from PlayMaster is time limited (until the end of 2021 year), but still it’s working and company claims that in case the bonus is popular, they are free to leave it forever. We, in InfoBet.africa understand, that free mPesa deposit bonus can afford only smaller companies, who don’t have millions of deposits per day.

BetKing offers cashback in amount of 15 KES for every deposit above 250 KES. For an amount of 250 KES SafariCom normally charges you 23 KES fee.

Sponsoring internet data while accessing a betting site

Free internet access to a website offers, for example, OdiBets or BetKing. Big amount of players in Kenya don’t have smartphones (or have it, but have problems to buy internet access data bundles) caused that betting companies started to use a special “FREE MODE” in order to let people make bets without need to pay for data while accessing particular sports betting website.

Multibet Bonus (odd multiplicator)

Multibet Bonus is about multiplicating your potential win in case your place a multibet stake. The more lines are in your betting ticket, the more your win can be in case your predictions are correct. Sometimes a betting company can set some restriction (for example, that every odd on a ticket must be not less than 1.2).

This bonus is offered for example by BetKing (increasing your win up to 225%) or Playmaster (increase up to 300%). Kwikbet is offering 200% in case every odd on your ticket minimum 1.5 and PlayaBet offers 50%-boost of your potential win in case you have 5 and more lines in your ticket.

BetRaha offers even 750% bonus for multibet ticket of a 26 correct predictions (minimum 1.2 odds per line and minimum 3 lines on a ticket).

Cancel Bet bonus

This bonus allows you to cancel your ticket without waiting till the moment all matches you’ve bet on are finished. For example, you make a multi bet stake for 10 matches. Once you see, that 5 matches are finished (and your predictions were correct), you can cancel bet and use this cancel bet bonus. Sometimes companies add conditions: for example, minimum lines on a ticket must be not less than 4 or 5.

PlayaBet brought a “CASH-OUT” bonus. Not a really self-explaining name for a bonus, but in fact they allow to pull-back your bet until the end of the game you’ve bet on.

PlayMaster give you an opportunity to cancel your betslip before the moment games started. The quantity of games should be more than 4. In case you cancel your betslip (ticket) before a first game in a ticket started, you receive 100% of your bet amount back.
