The list of betting sites we have compiled here gives you a direct insight into all the best online sportsbooks in Kenya where you can bet real money on upcoming and live sporting events.

About five years ago, betting stormed the Kenyan space and dominated the sports industry. At the time, SportPesa was one of the most noticeable betting sites in Kenya but now there are so many to choose from and the billion shilling business seems to only be growing. According to Bet Moran, the competition is stiff.

Top 10 Sports Betting Sites

The Sh200 billion annually raised some flags and the government had to introduce more stringent regulations and revoke some licences. Notably, Sportpesa often has the largest Jackpot prizes. They have come back and now they seem bigger and stronger than ever.

Both the Mega jackpot and the ordinary jackpot require a stake of Ksh.100 stake to play. The mega jackpot requires you to correctly predict the outcome of 17 matches while the basic one needs to accurately predict the outcome of 13 matches.  There are also cash bonuses for those who miss out on the jackpot prizes by less than three games.

There are so many reasons to venture into betting; debt being one of the most dominant reasons. With these incentives and jackpots, I mean who wouldn’t want to dive into these betting sites. The repercussions are however as heavy as the winnings. So be careful with these sites and always read the T’s & C’s.
