Loyalty bonus

Each user who places 5 or more bets with odds of 2.00 or higher in a calendar week will receive a free bet up to 500 KES. The size of the free bet is calculated based on the amount of the smallest of the placed Accumulator bets.

Second chance free bet refunds

The company offers a bet refund if only 1 outcome loses in an “Accumulator” with a minimum of 5 outcomes. This offer is valid only for football bets placed in the “Pre-match” section. Live bets do not count in this promotion.

VIP Club

VIP club members can receive exclusive rewards, cashback, and special bonuses. Features include:

• 5% cashback every week;
• VIP bonuses and free bets every week;
• A welcome free bet;
• A personal VIP manager;
• Higher betting limits. The status is upgraded to VIP based on the review of each account by the company’s VIP department representatives.

Cash Out is here!

With the Cash Out option, you can fix profit/loss before the end of the event. That is, you can take the money before the bet is settled depending on events around or during the match. The Cash Out feature is available in your account. Select “Cash Out”: all bets that can be immediately cashed out will be displayed. The payout amount depends on the probability of the bet winning (the higher it is, the larger the payout on Cash Out). For example, if you bet 100 KES on team “X” at odds of 1.90, you can take about 145 KES during the match if team “X” is leading 1:0. You do not risk the opponent equalizing and the bet losing.

How to start betting

To start betting, register on the site, log into your personal account, and top up the game account balance. The process of placing a bet is as follows:

• Open the line in the “Pre-match” or “Live” section.
• Click on the odds that correspond to the forecast – the event will automatically be added to the coupon on the lower panel.
• Click “Betslip”.
• Enter the bet amount.
• Click “Place Bet”.

Place a bet

Betlion offers its customers single and accumulator type bets. In the first case, the bet is placed only on one outcome of one event. An accumulator is a bet that includes two or more events. To win an accumulator bet, you need to correctly predict all outcomes of the bet (if at least one forecast is inaccurate – the bet loses completely). Thus, the risk is greater here. But the potential winnings are significantly more interesting. In accumulator type bets, the odds of all events are multiplied together, forming a total coefficient.

Check out the line in the “Pre-match” section of the main menu of the website or mobile application. The bookmaker offers a wide range of football bets. In addition to the top 5 leagues in Europe (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France), there are leagues such as, for example:

• Bangladesh Championship;
• Uruguay Championship;
• Bosnia and Herzegovina Championship;
• Ethiopia Championship;
• Ukraine Championship;
• Nepal Championship and others.

To make a live bet, click on the “Live Now” tab on the top panel of the screen.

To bet on other sports, click on the “A-Z Sports” tab at the bottom panel, then you can bet on tennis, basketball, baseball, volleyball, hockey. Among the niche sports in the Betlion line are:

• Motorsports;
• MMA;
• Golf;
• Darts;
• Cricket and others.
