Bonuses & special offers

Get bonus

Betpawa Kenya is one of the few bookmakers that do not offer a welcome bonus to new customers. However, the company has other bonus programs:

• Betpawa bonus on accumulator bets. Create an accumulator bet with three or more events with odds of 1.20 or higher for each outcome and receive a refund of part of the lost money in case of a losing bet. The cashback amount depends on the number of events in the accumulator bet and can reach 100%.
• From time to time, the bookmaker gives free bets to active players. There are no specific requirements for odds of outcomes.
• Another offer for active players. You can hit a big jackpot and win up to 5 million KES. Just go to the appropriate section and place a bet.

Line and live bets

We have already noted that the Betpawa Kenya line has a rather specific appearance. At the time of writing the article, the company’s clients had the opportunity to bet only on football and basketball matches. The small selection of sports is compensated by the depth of the line. Football is represented by several hundred leagues from all continents. Here you can find both national championship matches and lower and regional league team battles.

The most attention is paid to European top championship matches and continental cup competitions: Champions League, Europa League, and Federation League. South American and African leagues are also well represented. Many bettors prefer to bet on national team matches.

Football betting options depend on the match’s status and the tournament’s popularity. For example, there are about 150 markets available for English Premier League matches: various outcomes, team and individual totals, handicaps, and much more. There is an acceptable choice of markets for less popular league matches (50 – 70 betting options). The bookmaker cannot boast high odds; their values correspond to average market indicators.

Basketball also has good representation in Betpawa Kenya’s line, with the main focus on North American professional and amateur leagues and leading European clubs’ matches. The betting options are narrower than football, but the market selection will satisfy both beginners and professional bettors.

Many football and basketball matches are available in the Live section. There is also a good selection of betting options, and you can find interesting odds. The obvious drawback of the section is the lack of any informational support and online broadcasts.

Download Betpawa App

You can place bets at Betpawa Kenya from your gadget using the company’s main website – it automatically adapts to the screen size of your device. However, according to most bettors, it is better to download the Betpawa app and install the mobile application for Android. It’s quite simple; you don’t even have to search for the program online:

1. Open the bookmaker’s website.
2. Go to the “Menu” section (green button in the top right corner of the site) and select “Download App.”
3. Open the “Security” section in your smartphone settings and activate the “Allow installation from third-party sources” menu.
4. Return to the bookmaker’s website and give the command to download the Betpawa apk.
5. Wait for the program to install on your gadget and restore your phone settings to their original state.
6. Open the Betpawa Kenya Android app, log in to your account, or register if you do not have an account yet.

System requirements:

• Installation file size – 2.5 MB;
• Required space on the gadget’s hard drive – 32 MB;

Using the mobile app provides several undeniable advantages:

• You can always control your bets and learn the latest news: just turn on notifications;

Casino and slots

There is no Betpawa casino on the site in the traditional sense of the word. You won’t find a slot machine hall, roulette, or card game tables here. However, the company offers jackpot games where you have the opportunity to hit a big win. Go to the “Jackpot” section, choose a game, and place any available amount.

Betpawa Kenya also offers virtual games. In the “Virtual-sports” section, you will find a whole range of interesting entertainment.

Customer support service

Betpawa Kenya customers speak positively about the Betpawa Kenya support service. The only significant drawback is the lack of online chat on the bookmaker’s website and app. This shortcoming is partially compensated by the “Call me back” feature. The bettor only needs to indicate their phone number and send a callback request. The company’s employees will call you back within an hour. In addition, there are other communication channels:

• Describe the problem you encountered in detail and send a message to the email address [email protected]. Betpawa employees process customer letters within 24 hours;
• For prompt resolution of problems, we recommend calling the multichannel phone +254711082233. The waiting time for an operator’s response does not exceed five minutes;
