Odibets

Odibets has run in Kenya since 2018 and is one of the country's best-known local betting brands. Kenyan media describe it as licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board, whose role has since been taken over by the new Gambling Regulatory Authority. We could not find the licence number in any source we were able to access, and the official website did not load for us. Players should confirm the operator's current status on the regulator's public register.

The focus is sports. Football, tennis, basketball, rugby, cricket and boxing are covered with hundreds of events a day, plus live betting, 13-game and 7-game jackpots, virtual games and a casino section that includes Aviator and live blackjack and baccarat. Stakes start at KES 1, and players with no mobile data or with basic phones can bet by SMS and USSD.

Payments run only through M-Pesa. Deposits go to Paybill 290680, and withdrawals return to the same wallet, usually within an hour. The minimum withdrawal is reported as KES 100, and per-transaction withdrawal caps have been reported. Under the Finance Act 2025, a 5% excise duty is deducted automatically from both deposits and withdrawals. KYC verification is required before cashing out.

Promotions change often. They have included small free bets for new customers, win boosts, Aviator tournaments and 'rain' giveaways, but we found no clearly documented casino welcome bonus. Odibets suits Kenyan players who want low stakes and fast M-Pesa payouts, but it offers nothing to players outside Kenya and has little variety in payment methods.
