Surebet Review
Betting on sports is an excellent leisure option, which can even bring profit. The key to a pleasant pastime is the right choice of bookmaker. Which one to choose?
Surebet is one of the many small Kenyan platforms that have flooded the market in recent times. Often the owners of such platforms prefer to remain as anonymous as possible, unlike larger and even more so international platforms.
Of course the presentation of the brand and its owners is not the most important thing. The main thing is features and content. In this article, we will evaluate the Surebet site together with you!
How to start playing?
What do we have to do to start using any service like this? There's a plan: сreate an account and log in to the system; make a deposit; evaluate the variety of the assortment; place a bet and win.
Let's go!
Registration
Just like any other place, before you can get service, you need to come in. Like in a coffee shop, for example.
But sometimes they are small coffee shops in big buildings, and you need a personalized key card to get in. That's how it is here: you need to register first to get access.
Some bookers prefer complicated multi-step registration and verification forms, but it isn't this case: all you need to do is click on the Register button (you can find it in the upper right corner), enter your phone number and password in the tab that opens and create an account with Sign Up button.
In some cases, but not necessarily, the site may require you to confirm your number by sending an SMS with a code.
You also can register via sms - send the word JOIN to the number 29400!
Authorization
If you already have an account and want to log in to it (e.g. from a new device), use the boxes at the top right of the website or click the login button in the mobile version/app. After that, repeat the same steps as you did when you registered.
In order not to exit with each restart of the page we recommend you to put a check mark at the function Remember me, and if you do not remember the password, follow the appropriate link - it is located right under the authorization form.
Site
So, we can start evaluating the design and navigation of the platform. First, let's look at the website: despite the fact that many people have now moved completely to the mobile phone format, ordinary desktop sites have not yet lost their popularity enough to disappear.
In fact, Surebet's design is quite standard: home page from the sportsbook, sports in the side left menu, betting slip on the right, a thin menu bar displays all the other features of the site.
The only thing that can be called original here is the pink and purple color scheme instead of the standard blue and green colors.
From the minuses we can note the lack of online chat with support. The only thing we are know is the number 0724599488 and e-mail [email protected].
Also, the visitor can immediately see that this is an old-school bookmaker: at least at the time of writing, it has no casino section.
All the most important tools are in the top right corner: deposit and withdrawal buttons, bonus and balance counter, exit button, transaction history.
Mobile version
At the same time, we cannot say that Surebet has adapted its website well for mobile devices: the test showed that on narrow or simply small screens this version does not change in size, which makes it very difficult to use.
But if you are lucky with a gadget, here are the modifications you will notice: a side menu has appeared, where all functions have been moved from the upper right corner of the website, and the sports on the homepage have become a horizontal clickable line.
Applications
In order not to suffer with the mobile version and not to deprive yourself of betting on the go, you can download the app - it is much better optimized and really easy to use, but there is one nuance: at the moment only the Android version is available, there is no app for Apple yet.
Promotions and bonuses
Surebet welcomes you with a nice promotion: depending on your first bet, you can get up to 3,000 KES for free after registration! These and other bonuses will have to be wagered before you can withdraw them to your account.
But let's take a look at some of the other offers!
Surebet respects your investment, so you have a chance to:
- to get 100% bonus (up to 500 KES) for the very first deposit (from 10 KES);
- get 20% bonus further for your first deposit PER DAY.
And if you bet on prematch with 5 or more slips and lose exactly 1 slip you qualify for MSHIPI bonus, that will allow you to win back what you lost!

We are also glad to emphasize that here you can bet both pre-match and in live mode, and also go to the Jackpot tab and make a profit by correctly guessing the outcomes of all or almost all matches listed on this page.
Odds and markets
Unfortunately, this is where the pluses end. Here you will find neither broadcasts of events, nor the possibility to choose the format of odds demonstration (only decimal ones), nor a variety of margins (literally from one to three variants are available - 1X2, Double Chance, Over/Under).
The odds are relatively ordinary, although you can catch a particularly nice bet here.
Payment systems and supported currencies
As this bookmaker is local, it hasn't a variety of available currencies, you can only use KES.
As for the transaction methods - use the online deposit/withdrawal form, that's connected to M-PESA and you won't have any problems.
Deposit
You can't get your money without first giving it to the bookie. To make this sacrifice in the name of fortune, follow the steps below:
- Go to the app/site and find button Deposit at the top of the page or in the side menu. Click it.
- Enter your phone and the amount you want to deposit in the slots.
- Confirm your choice by the button.
- Check your phone for an M-Pesa Request.
- Enter your M-Pesa Pin to confirm the transaction.
If everything ok, you will receive an M-Pesa message.
Minimum deposit/bet is 1 KES. By the way, the maximum betting amount for a pre-match single/multi bet is 500,000 KES, for Live bets - 50,000 KES.
Withdrawal
Let's go to the best part: gambling is good, but winning is even better!
The process of withdrawing funds is practically the same as depositing them. Look:
- Go to the app/site and find button Withdraw at the top of the page or in the side menu. Click it.
- Enter your phone and the amount you want to withdraw in the slots.
- Confirm your choice by the button.
- Check your phone for an M-Pesa Confirmation.
Min withdrawal is 50 KES and pay attention that this function is available only between 12:00 AM – 6:00 AM.
The max winning per day is limited to 5,000,000 KES unless it’s a Grand Jackpot prize or bonus, but you can withdraw up to 300,000 KES at once.
Opinion
So, what's our final verdict? We are not impressed. This bookmaker does not care much about keeping the user: relatively small assortment, rather average odds, poor adaptation to different formats. We give it a rating of 3/5 and do not recommend it to experienced players, but for beginners Surebet can be considered as a site to try out.
