Betting on sports has become especially popular in Kenya over the last two years. This has led not only to an increase in sportsbook users, but also to the introduction of new promising bookmakers. The best of them are mentioned in the list below, but if you don’t find the right one in the article, you can check out all betting sites in Kenya here. 

It is always important to choose a convenient site with a maximum of useful features, so here are the most relevant options, which received a high rating due to such factors as the number of payment methods, licensing, bonuses, odds, and availability of mobile apps.

Afropari

This platform is especially popular in South Africa, and it has a limited bonus offer for all new players from Kenya: 300% in addition to the first deposit. It is mostly used to bet on football thanks to the most profitable odds among the other sportsbooks. Regular promo deals are available both on the site and in the Android application.

There are also lots of exclusive features: statistics, live broadcasts in the app, live betting, TOTO bets, and slots games.

Paripesa

This sportsbook was established in Nigeria in 2019 and is now a well-known national bookmaker. Kenyan bettors may not only get a welcome bonus (which grants 100% more on their first deposit) but also participate in a daily accumulator bonus promo (that boosts every odd on a selected list of events by 10%). Besides 500+ available sporting matches, there are also Live Casino, eSports sections, Aviator, and Slots games. The platform is licensed by the Oyo State Gaming Board and also holds a national license in Nigeria.

Despite not having many live broadcasts, even for top-rated events, this sportsbook is still loved by thousands in South Africa thanks to its great coverage of 60+ sports (including eSports competitions) and lots of casino games, including TVBet, Keno, Fishing, and scratch cards. It is also worth mentioning that this platform has over 20 payment options for both deposits and withdrawals: internet banking, credit cards, cryptocurrencies, and e-wallets.

Betwinner

A subsidiary of 1xBet established in 2018, Betwinner has many similarities with its parent company – low margins (from 3% to 10%), similar bonuses (100% on a first deposit, loyalty program), and almost the same amount of casino games. The bookmaker is licensed in Curacao, yet operates in various South African and Latin American countries. Its services are provided not only in English but also in French and Spanish. The application is available for both iOS and Android users.

Linebet

This worldwide platform offers lots of promotions (welcome and birthday offers, bet races, and cashback for failed bets). It is mostly used by mobile users thanks to a convenient, multifunctional app that barely takes up any space yet provides access to 1500+ events and high-resolution livestreams. Margins vary from 3% to 6%, which makes odds on most matches really beneficial. Payment methods include cryptocurrencies and e-wallets. All financial operations have no commission, regardless of the chosen option.

1Win

Many bettors pay attention to 1Win thanks to its generous welcome bonus – 500% and 70 free spins in addition to the first deposit. Along with that, the platform also provides casino cashback and a 15% boost for winnings on multibets. Besides excellent coverage of 60+ sports (more than 1000 various events are added to the list daily), there are 9000+ casino games both on the site and in the Android application. It is possible to replenish an account or withdraw winnings via cryptocurrencies, and such deposits are processed instantly, E-wallets and internet banking.

22Bet

First introduced in 2017, this site is operated and licensed in Curacao. Now it is known for its low margins and low minimum deposit – only $0.20. Both the site and app offer easy navigation and a minimal number of functions. However, the quantity of payment options seems sufficient – up to 10 methods, including internet banking and cryptocurrency. Users receive a welcome bonus (100% in cash on the initial deposit) and a Friday reload – another 100% bonus for wagering on outcomes with odds starting from 1.4.

WinWin

The bookmaker is especially popular among eSports fans, considering its wide range of daily League of Legends and Dota 2 competitions with quite low margins and lots of betting markets. Besides that, WinWin users can also bet on common disciplines such as tennis, baseball, cricket, and ice hockey.

Megapari

Now it provides up to 300 betting markets on top-rated football events, covers disciplines such as baseball, boxing, and ice hockey (including the most demanded matches and competitions between lesser-known teams), and operates in 50+ different languages, making it popular worldwide. Keep in mind that it is better to download an app to access the platform via phone, since its browser version is known for working slower.
