Odds and margins

Odds are a numerical expression of the probability of a particular outcome in a sporting event. The higher the odds, the lower the probability of the outcome, but the greater the winnings in case of success. In a bookmaker's office the odds are average and depend on the popularity of the event. For example, in football they can range from 2.30 to 4.10. This applies to both local and international leagues, including the English Premier League and Champions League.

Margin is the percentage that a bookmaker adds to the odds to make their profit. A low margin is favourable for bettors as it means higher odds and therefore higher potential winnings. On the bookmaker's platform, the margin is average, but it also depends on the event and its popularity.

Payment systems

In order to place bets, you must have a positive balance on your game account. Once you have wagered the bonus or your bet has won, you can withdraw your earnings.

Supported currencies

You can conduct transactions in the country's national currency, the Kenya Shilling (KES).

Deposit and Withdrawal

The bookmaker offers one method for deposit and withdrawal. This is Mpesa payment system.
