With the sports betting arena in Kenya catching pace by the day, each sportsbook is struggling to put its best foot forward. The ever-churning ground makes it hard to keep one provider at the very top of the list. I will be updating this (and other reviews on my website) every now and then to ensure that you have all the right information when making the ultimate decision.
Betin Kenya at a Glance
Betin’s presence in Kenya is managed by Gamcode Ltd Trading with full licensure and authority from the Logispin Group. Gamcode Ltd is in law as it is licensed by the BCLB under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, Cap 131, Law of Kenya. This is pretty much the basis any bookmaker needs to found their business on to remain legal.
What sets it aside from competitors like Sportpesa is its diversity. Betin Kenya offers sports betting, casino games, racing games, live betting and virtual sports. Each of these categories will span all the major events and competitions and presents a sufficient variety to any sports betting veteran.
The official web portal bristles with activity, a testimony to Betin’s position as an online casino and a reputable sports book. At a glance, you will get the options to bet on a huge range of sports and even politics.
Nonetheless, Betin Kenya will still focus on football, meaning that you will see all the important events and other live or upcoming matches at a glance.
Clicking on each game or match gives you a comprehensive markets description with the odds for all the options. This, in my opinion, is the comprehensive odds and betting options you will ever get in the marketing making Betin a perfect sports book for the professional who is serious on exploiting different options to increase his or her chances of earning more.
Registration and Getting Started
Unlike Sportpesa, Betin Kenya will have you do the registration via its web portal. While this might sound inconvenient, the fact that it is a simple registration process that won’t take a while makes it worthwhile.
You will have to deposit at least Ksh50 (that’s the minimum deposit and betting amount in Betin Kenya) before placing any bet since the sports book isn’t running any signup bonus promotions. Currently, Betin seems to be focused on MPESA deposit and withdrawal.
Depositing Money to Betin Kenya Account
For this, you will have to use the phone number you entered while registering for the account to deposit funds using Paybill number 997270. The account number/name is just ‘Betin Kenya.’ This isn’t really a setback if you are a Safaricom subscriber.
Withdrawing Money
To withdraw, head over to the website and identify the “My Accounts” menu option. A drop down on this reveals the “Withdraw” menu item. Click on this to activate the withdraw interface where you can enter the amount you want to withdraw and click on the “Withdraw” button. This should send your winnings to your MPESA account.
You will incur regular MPESA withdrawal fees.
Any withdrawals will be through this same MPESA account. It would be a good idea to keep your Safaricom line close by if you plan on using Betin Kenya for all your sports betting needs.
The Market
The Betin Kenya review can barely emphasize on the astonishing size of the markets available on this platform. Betin features virtually all the betting markets and options in the sports betting world. This could be a bit intimidating to the beginner but will be utter gold to veteran punters.
This platform’s flexibility will, however, let you add what you know to your betslip. You’ll get the common final score, half time score, first goal, multi goal, handicap, 3 way first half, First half under/over and so much more.
A word of advice, you will really need to know what to look for each moment you click on a game you wish to bet for since the ensuing market options page could be a bit intimidating. Betin Kenya gives you a complete table with all the calculated odds leaving you at liberty to place whichever bet seems most plausible to you.
Betin Virtual Games and Sports
If you just can’t the weekends to bet on real games, you can make use of the virtual betting section that will let you place bets on simulated games. After trying a hand on a few, I found that even through the games are an extrapolation real team and player and team form in the world, they are too fast paced and perhaps lack the human touch you will find in a physical game.
Nonetheless, they are a fantastic way to keep your career going as you wait to place your bets on real games and matches.
Virtual sports betting is just like any other betting only that the results will be drawn from a virtual game simulation. Betin lets you pariticipate in
- Virtual football
- Virtual horse racing
- Virtual tennis
- Virtual dog racing
- Virtual basketball
The Betin Kenya Jackpot
The Super 13 jackpot is simple and straightforward. You will have 13 teams to bet on using the rather straightforward 1X2 (Home/Draw/Away) market. Betin Kenya shares the jackpot winnings amongst winners. To finish in money, you have to get 11, 12 or all 13 predictions right.
The Super Seven jackpot is a bit complex but features a better jackpot prize. All you have to do is extrapolate the 1X2 bet by specifying what team will win and by what score line or defining how the draw outlook will be like. This, though more complex, earns more money. To finish in money, you have to get 5, 6 or all 7 predictions right.
Player Base and Trust Flow
Betin Kenya draws the majority of its trust from the fact that it is a branch of a highly reputable international sportsbook. This is more than enough to evidence of the company’s allegiance to great customer service. You don’t have to worry about losing your money or getting no pay outs as long as you take time to study the platform and know your way around.
Betin Kenya Separates Pros from Armatures
One glance at Betin market options and available betting options is all I needed to know it means real business to real pros who know what they are doing. Betin is the best place to be at if you understand all the betting markets, know how to analyze your games and don’t mind trying a hand on different sports, a virtual league or actual casino gaming.
You will need discipline, access to a computer and a settled mind to make it here. Even though you can still place bets using the mobile version of the portal, with specific interest to fast bet feature that might come in hand during live game bets, Betin still doesn’t feel right if you aren’t doing it professionally.
The Ksh50 minimum might be misleading. It can be cheap to place a single bet, but you have the power to leverage game types, odds and markets to get the most off your little investment.
