Betika Kenya Review 2024

Betika Promotions and Bonuses

Although Betika offers both casino and sports betting services, most of the promotions available are mainly for sports bettors. And they are huge. Thus, you can expect a push in your playtime whenever you claim these offers.

That said, here are the promos up for grabs at Betika:

Nduthika Ukidandia Ndege Ya Aviator

Betika’s Aviator Motorbike promotion is valid until 22^nd May 2023. Here is how it works:

• Place a qualifying bet of at least Ksh. 50 on Aviator
• After placing your cash bet, you stand a chance of winning a motorbike
• To become the winner, you must have the highest winning multiplier in the game

While this promotion is worthwhile, there’s a catch. Betika awards the prize chronologically even if you get the highest winning multiplier.

This means if you get the same amount as another bettor who won before you, you won’t get the motorbike. After putting in all the hard work, that could be discouraging.

Free Bet Bonus

If you lose a bet at Betika, you get a 5x cashback bonus. Here’s how the cashback bonus works:

• Enter a minimum deposit of Ksh. 49
• If one selection of 8-19 game loses, you’ll get up to 100% cashback
• If one selection of more than 19 games loses, Betika will award you a 500% cashback bonus
• For a betslip of 15 matches, you’ll get a 50% cashback bonus if two selections lose

What makes this bonus worthwhile is the fact that it comes with no minimum odds. The only problem is you need to wager the bonus within 24 hours before it expires.

1st Deposit Bonus

As a new player, Betika grants a bonus on your first deposit. Here is how this welcome bonus works:

• When you deposit Ksh. 49, you’ll get Ksh. 3 for free
• Depositing a Ksh. 50-98, awards you a Ksh. 5 free bonus
• The minimum total odds to bet with the bonus should be 4.99

Notably, this bonus is only available for sports betting. It doesn’t apply to casino gamblers, which is quite unfortunate.

Betika Betting (Sports)

At Betika, there are over 15 sports to bet on. They range from the popular soccer to the less well-known water polo. Under these sports are tens of events daily. Football alone has over 150 events.

Luckily, you don’t have to scroll through all the matches. You can simply use a search bar at the top right to find an event. Alternatively, you can filter events based on leagues, the day of the week, and the market. Also, you can choose events based on a country.

Best of all, you can save games/markets in favorites!

If you wish to review teams’ previous performances before making a bet, Betika makes that happen. It provides a statistics panel where you can view each team’s current standings. That should help you make informed decisions.

Odds

Betika offers high odds compared to other reputable bookmakers in Kenya. This, of course, translates to higher winnings.

To prove this, check Betika’s odds against those of 2 other sportsbooks. These odds were offered on a match between Chelsea and Real Madrid, played on 18^th April 2023.

Sportsbook	Chelsea Win	Draw	Real Madrid Win
Betika	2.90	3.55	2.55
Shabiki	2.80	3.50	2.37
Mozzart Bet	2.95	3.45	2.50

 As you can see, Betika features competitively high odds. Even better, their odds change slightly during a live event. This means you can still bag huge wins.

Just like most sportsbooks, Betika’s odds are in decimal format. There are no other odd formats. But this is not a big issue, considering most Kenyan bettors are familiar with the decimal format.

At Betika, the minimum odds are 1.01. This is still high and translates to high winnings.

Betting Markets

Betika has over 100 betting markets. They comprise main markets such as Double Chance, Total, Draw or Over, and Draw or Under. Handicap markets are also available.

These markets change from league to league. Let’s take the UEFA Champions League, for example. It has over 96 markets. This is different from other leagues, say, the WK-League, which has about 14 markets.

Also, the markets are different across the sports available at Betika. The table below shows the average number of markets across different sports:

Sports	Number of Markets
Football	100+
Basketball	45+
Tennis	15+
Baseball	65+
Cricket	20+

Live Betting and Live Streaming

Pre-bets are not the only bets you can wager on at Betika. Live betting and live streaming are also possible.

To bet on an ongoing event, head to the live section just below Betika’s logo. Then, select your preferred sport.

You should, however, note that not all games are available for live streaming. To find out which games you can live-stream, look for a red video camera icon on an event.

Whenever you see a red video camera icon, you can click on that event and then select the Watch Live option.

The odds of an event are likely to change when the event goes live. The reason is that it becomes more predictable to determine the winning team. However, as said, the odds at Betika don’t change as much.

Data Saver

Any online activity including betting consumes data bundles. Sometimes faster, especially when live streaming.

Luckily, at Betika, you can activate the Data Saver feature. It slows down the consumption of data bundles. This translates to more activity online, including live streaming.

To activate this feature, go to Betika’s menu on the left side. You’ll find this feature under the Preferences option.

The best part is that you don’t have to activate this feature every time you log in. Once you’ve activated it, that’s it.

Betika Bila Bundles

Another interesting feature is the Betika Bila Bundles feature. It allows you to place bets without data bundles.

You’ll first need to access Betika’s official website with active bundles. Then, upon activating this feature, you can place bets free of charge.

Worth mentioning, that this feature only applies if you use Safaricom. It doesn’t work for Airtel or Telkom users.

Also, you can only use this feature to bet on pre-game events. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on live betting and live streaming.

Notably, Betika doesn’t guarantee the availability of this feature at all times. That means they may stop offering this feature at will and without notice.

Early Cashout

The Early Cashout feature at Betika allows you to withdraw funds before a match is over. Even better, it applies to pre-game and live events.

Also, this feature only applies to single and multi-bets. This is in addition to being available only when you bet online, meaning SMS betting doesn’t count.

Here’s another thing worth noting: there’s a period between requesting a cash-out and accepting the request. In case Betika suspends a market or the cash-out amount changes, Betika won’t accept the request.

If, however, your request is successful, you’ll see it in the notification section. Also, Betika will settle your bet immediately.

There are some instances where the Early Cashout feature doesn’t apply:

• Bonus bets or free bets
• Winning bets of less than Ksh. 10
• Bets placed on Jackpot, Casino, Betika Fasta, and Shikisha.

Betika Casino

The casino section at Betika houses over 370 games. There are three ways to locate Betika Casino. You can find it in the different categories below Betika’s logo. It’s before the Live Score option.

Alternatively, you can look it up in the menu. Here, you’ll find it below the Virtual Games section.

Also, you can find it at the bottom of the homepage. It’s under the Play section, between Contact US and Learn More categories.

Under the casino section are several categories:

• Slots
• Table Games
• Live Dealer Games
• Drop and Wins
• Popular
• New Games

There are also My Favorite and Keno Games sections. These subdivisions allow you to find a game faster. There’s no need to scroll through the entire catalog.

You can also use a search bar to look for a casino game. Unfortunately, Betika doesn’t filter games based on software developers.

Slot Machines

Betika features 295+ slot machines. That’s not bad, considering there’s a regular update of the slots section on the site.

Some of the popular slots available at Betika Casino include:

• Wolf Gold
• 5 Lions Megaways
• Joker’s Jewels
• Mystic Fortune Deluxe
• Hot Hot Fruit

Unfortunately, the slots are all jumbled up. There are no categories that group them based on reels or software developers. This makes it a bit hard when trying to look for a game.

Luckily, the slot section features several slot machines of different grids and themes. You can, for instance, play 3-reel slots such as Fortune Miner. Also, 5-reel slots such as Big Bass Bonanza or its 6-reel Megaways.

Another thing worth mentioning is that it’s not easy to determine a game’s information. Betika doesn’t give the RTP, volatility, grid, and payout information of the slot machines. Such information is, however, available on a game developer’s official website.

An even easier way is to click on a game’s help option. Let’s take the Knockout Football slot, for example. It’s an online slot by Habanero, a software developer. After the game loads, simply click the help icon. It’s on the left side just before the Bet option.

Upon clicking the icon, you’ll get more information about the game, including the symbols. Also, you’ll know how the game works.

Board Games

Besides specializing in online slots, Betika also features several board games. Unlike slots, the site doesn’t regularly update its table games. There are 10+ board games, which are fewer compared to slots.

Again, the table games at Betika are mixed up. There’s no specific category that groups board games from a specific provider. Also, there are no categories based on games. For instance, roulette, poker, baccarat, and blackjack. So, you will find all these games under the table games section.

Noteworthy, Betika doesn’t offer information about its board games. So, the best way to find out more about a game is to check its help section.

Let’s take Blackjack 3 Hand by Habanero, for example. After the game loads, you can find out more about the game by clicking the help icon.

Still under board games, Betika offers over 60 live dealer games. When playing these games, you’ll experience what a real casino feels like.

Notably, most live dealer games at Betika are from Evolution Gaming. This is a titan software developer who knows a thing or two about live table games.

Free Casino Games

At Betika Casino, you can play games without depositing funds. However, you first need to log in before you can play the demo versions.

Also, not all games at Betika Casino are available for free play. While you can play all slots and table games for free, live dealer games don’t have demo versions.

To play a game for free, ensure you’ve logged in. Then, click on a game you’d like to play. You will see two options: Play Game and Demo Mode.

When you click Demo Mode, you can start playing the game for as long as you wish. If you click the Play Game option, it means you want to play for real money.

You’ll notice that live dealer games at Betika don’t have two options. They only have the Play Game option. That means they’re not available for free play.

A demo version is great if you want to familiarize yourself with a game. This makes it a good option if you’re a newbie. It gives you confidence when placing a real wager on a particular game.

The demo version is not only beneficial to a rookie. It can also be valuable to an experienced casino gambler. If you’re a veteran and you’d like to try out a new game, free-play mode may be a good place to start. It allows you to know the ins and outs of the game before you cash in real funds.

Software Providers

Betika has collaborated with over 15 table and slot game software developers. They include:

• Pragmatic Play
• Caleta Gaming,
• Habanero
• Wazdan
• Evolution Gaming

You’ll notice that the list comprises established software providers. These are award-winning game developers who know every corner of the iGaming sector.

Also, the software providers hold valid licenses. Most of them have licenses from the Gambling Commission besides other regulatory bodies.

One more thing: these game vendors are reliable. They continuously update their slots and board games catalog. So, there’s no space for boredom.

Payment Methods

M-Pesa and Airtel Money are the two payment options available at Betika. These are reliable options for Kenyan bettors.

Here’s a table that shows the transaction charges at Betika:

As you can see, the bet ranges at Betika are accommodative. Most Kenyan bettors can afford the minimum Ksh. 10 deposit.

You shouldn’t worry about transaction fees when betting at Betika. The site doesn’t charge for withdrawals and deposits.

However, you’ll incur a 20% tax on your Betika withdrawals. This is a rate that KRA charges on all betting withdrawals, regardless of the gambling site.

Another thing: you can only use one payment method for all transactions. That is, if you use M-Pesa to cash in, you must use it to cash out. You can’t deposit with M-Pesa and cash out with Airtel Money.

Betika App

If you prefer betting with your phone, Betika comes with a mobile app. This is good news. With this app, you can place your bets anywhere, at any moment.

To download the app to your phone, head to the official Betika website. Just below the site’s logo are different categories. The App option is the last in these categories, after the Live Score category.

Upon clicking it, another tab will open. You can then download the app depending on your phone’s operating system. That is, you can download the app for Android or iOS.

Alternatively, you can access the app option on the menu. Again, it’s below the Live Score option.

The good news is the app functions flawlessly on all iOS and Android phones. This is regardless of the brand and size of your hand-held device.

Betika Web-based Version

You don’t have to download the Betika app to bet on your mobile phone. Simply launch the site on your browser and enjoy a mobile betting experience.

Everything on the web-based phone version functions spotlessly. There’s not much difference from the PC version.

How to Create Account

The registration process at Betika is a simple 5-step process. You can expect the entire process to take about a minute or so.

Noteworthy, Betika doesn’t request verification documents during signing up. Here’s what you only need to do:

• Enter your Airtel or Safaricom phone number
• Create a password
• Confirm the password you’ve created
• Tick the small box to confirm you agree to the site’s T&Cs
• Click the Register icon

After registration, you can go ahead and make your deposit and claim a bonus if you want.

The customer support at Betika is dependable. There are 3 ways to contact Betika’s customer support, by the way:

Phone

The telephone option at Betika is reliable. It guarantees immediate feedback. Better yet, the call agents are available 24/7. This means you can contact them at any moment.

To find Betika’s telephone number, head to the bottom of Betika’s homepage. It’s under the Contact Us option.

Their telephone number is 0729290290. You should note that this is not a toll-free line. So, the standard phone call charges apply.

Another option to get in touch with Betika’s customer agents is by email. It’s rather slower than the telephone in terms of getting feedback. However, you can expect a response in under 24 hours.

Betika’s official email is support@betika.com. You can always email them at any time in case of complaints or queries.

Notably, you don’t have to memorize their email. At the bottom of Betika’s page is a green Help icon. Upon clicking it, a block will appear. You’ll then need to enter your name, email, telephone number, and your message.

Since Betika is a Kenyan site, you shouldn’t worry about language options. The site supports English and Swahili. So, you can ask any question in the language you’re comfortable with.

Social Media

A big chunk of Betika’s patrons is on social media. That’s why the betting platform has established a strong social media presence.

You can reach out to them via the following social media platforms:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• Twitter
• YouTube
• LinkedIn

Always ensure you’re on the official Betika social media platform. That’s because scammers mimic Betika to get your details. They’ll then use the details to hack into your account. Well, the consequences may be terrible if they find their way through your account.

Noteworthy, Betika has no live chat option. However, the 3 options we’ve touched on suffice, bearing in mind Betika’s customer care staff work 24/7.

Design and Navigation

The navigation process at Betika is kid’s stuff. This is thanks to how well-arranged everything is at the site.

And, oh, Betika’s website is modern and the homepage of the site just spells action. The menu and logo are in the top left corner. On the right are the register and login icons.

Also, the right corner has a background color option. That means you don’t have to stick to the default dark background. You can choose the light background option if you like.

Below the Betika logo are different categories. These include:

• Live
• Jackpots
• Promotions
• Casino
• Betika Super League

On the same row as the categories is also the search bar. You can use it to find a sports event or specific casino games.

One thing you’ll like about Betika is that its pages load quickly. Transitioning from a page to the next takes seconds.

Security and Reputation

Whenever you wager at Betika, you can be sure your funds are safe. The site uses modern-day encryption tools to guard your information against hackers.

Besides the encryption tools, Betika holds fast to its privacy policy. Thus, you can place a bet without worrying about anyone accessing your data.

But what about the employees at Betika? Can’t they use your data to hack into your account? Well, they can’t. They sign contracts not to misuse any information and agree to uphold all information with utmost privacy.

Reputation

Betika has a golden reputation thanks to the services they offer. For this reason, thousands of Kenyan bettors flock to the site to place bets. The site’s reputation has also seen it collaborate with well-known casino software developers.

Licensing

Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board superintends over Betika. In fact, Betika takes the first position on BCLB’s list of licensed operators. This shows it’s a trustworthy online betting site in Kenya.

Final Evaluation

After a thorough assessment, we give Betika a 4.8/5 rating. There are two reasons why it doesn’t get a 5/5.

First, it doesn’t have a VIP program. This is inconvenient for high-roller Kenyan bettors. Also, there are no bonuses for casino players.

These two issues are minor and Betika can work on them. Of course, other minor issues are player-dependent, and Betika can solve them.

Overall, Betika is a go-to site for any Kenyan gambler. It offers high odds, hundreds of markets, huge bonuses, and dependable customer support. Also, it has special features to take your betting experience to another level.

PRO TIP: If you’re low on bundles, use the free data feature to bet on your favorite sports events. Remember this feature doesn’t work on live matches.

As a casino games player, always start by playing demo versions whenever possible. You must, however, log in to your account before you can play the demo version.
