How We Rated Bet365 in Kenya

Bet365 Sports Markets and Special Bets – 5 / 5

Bet365 are covering more than 25 different sports right now, while football fans are enjoying some unique options for top European leagues, especially English Premier League. Besides lucrative “outright winner” options, you can also choose bets for specific teams, their exact standings when the season ends, individual player bets, shots on target etc. Unlike majority of other sites, bet365 provides stats and information for their players. This was an easy five-star rating from us.

Bet365 Bonuses and Promotions – 4.5 / 5

Even though the sign up offers and bonuses are looking good for Kenyan players, the frequency of those for existing customers could definitely be better. From time to time, bettors from Kenya will receive different types of bonuses and promotions when there is a big event around the corner (big match in UEFA Champions League, World Cup finals, EURO etc.), but our point is that this could be happening more regularly.

We usually prefer sportsbooks where additional options can be expanded by just one click, which is not the case with bet365. Overall navigation, especially for most common things is looking flawless though. Mobile users are surely going to be pleased with the service.

Banking and Deposit Options – 5 out of 5

There are multiple options for Kenyan players to deposit and withdraw funds from Bet365. While the MPESA is not there just yet, you can use Debit/Credit Cards, Skrill (One-Tap Option supported), Neteller, Checks, and Bank Transfers. The process is smooth, and you can immediately start playing with your funds a couple of seconds after making a deposit. 

Support Chat and Customers Service – 5 / 5

You don’t see it often nowadays that bookmaker has customer service open 24/7. If you encounter any sort of issue whether about a deposit, a bet you placed or promotion info, a customer service representative will be one click away to provide a solution.

 Access to the Website Using Mobile Devices – 5/5

There is an official betting application for Bet365 to download in the Play Store, but players can also simply enter the URL of the website and navigate from there. It will run smoothly on your smartphone or tablet device.

Bet365 Overall Rating – 4.75 / 5

Overall, it’s hard not to be impressed by Bet365 and what they have to offer. They are called industry leaders for a good reason obviously. As mentioned above, there is some room for improvement when it comes to promotions and navigation.

Registration and Login on Bet365 Kenya

Unlike of majority of today’s online providers, Bet365 made sure that players from Kenya can complete the whole registration process within minutes. From the main page, take a look at upper right corner and click the “join” button.

The next screen will require you to input your name, country of residence, phone number, date of birth, current address and desired username – pretty much regular stuff, right? The only suggestion here is to tick the “receive information regarding promotions, free bets and bonuses”. Every time there is one available for you, bet365 will simply let you know through e-mail and notification system. To finish the registration, you will notice “Promo Code” box. If you have any available, make sure to enter it here to take advantage of nice bonuses.

The next screen is offering you multiple deposit methods, but we will tangle that topic in the next section. The last step before your account becomes verified and ready to withdraw funds is the identity check. Bet365 will require you to upload one of personal documents of your choice (passport, driver’s license, birth certificate or ID card). In some cases, they also request utility bill to completely remove possibility of identity theft, which we absolutely support. While waiting for verification, players are free to browse the website, or even make a deposit and place bets.

Bonuses and Promotions on Bet365 Kenya

First, let’s talk a bit about Bet365’s welcome bonus for new Kenyan players. At the moment of writing this review, you can get 15% First Deposit Bonus up to $60 bet credits. We strongly advise to select USD as currency, since Kenyan Schilling is not available just yet. The minimal deposit is $10. To unlock the bonus, players need to place a qualifying bet which matches the value of the qualifying deposit.

Moving to promotions if you plan to stay with Bet365 for a longer period, chances of grabbing some extremely valuable promotions are high. One of the most popular one for Kenyan players (assuming you enjoy placing bets on football) is Football Accumulator Bonus. This one is available for 80 different competitions, but we are going to mention just one of the most popular ones below. Players who make a minimum of two pre-match selections in standard Full-Time Winner or Both Teams To Score markets for selected leagues will get their winnings boosted if they land both bets of course. The percentage of the boost heavily depends on number of selections. It scales up from 2.5 % up to 70% – the more games you had on the winning accumulator the bigger winnings will be. Great news is that this promo is going to be active for upcoming World Cup 2022, English Premier League & Championship, UEFA Champions League, Italian Serie A, Germany Bundesliga and many more.

Football has the biggest offer without a doubt. Ranging from Australian amateur leagues, Brazilian tier-four league or English Premier League – everything is there. On top of everything, they have insane coverage for the live streaming section.

Since betting on football is the most popular in Kenya, let’s focus a little bit on specific bet types Bet365 offers. Here are the most common options available to players across the globe:

If you are an avid fan of the English Premier League, there are a couple of unique sections and opportunities. For every EPL season, you can pick up team specific bets. For example, you can combine options like Manchester City to win the Premier League outright, to reach the FA Cup finals and their top goalscorer for the whole campaign! Not a single other operator online has these options available.

Deposits and Withdrawals

 

Unfortunately, Bet365 is not supporting deposits from mobile banking services like M-Pesa. Big majority of Kenyan bettors are used to these mobile deposits for local betting platforms. However, there are plenty of options to make a deposit at Bet365 using Credit/Debit Cards, Astropay, Bank Transfer, Checks or Ecopayz. The whole process is very simple and won’t last more than a couple of minutes if you have all the information needed. Card deposits are the most common nowadays. Bet365 are taking the “responsible gambling” slogan very seriously, presenting numerous options for players to limit the amount or time frame of deposits. You can withdraw money using any of the methods available for deposits. Withdrawals are available only to customers which completed the two-step verification process explained above in the article. Important thing to mention here is that there are no withdrawal fees! Here is a chart of minimal/maximum amounts, processing days and available methods for Kenyan residents:

Bet365 Kenya Mobile

 

Number of players who prefer placing online bets using mobile phone instead of PC has grown exponentially in the last decade. In Kenya more than 95% bettors is using mobile devices to bet, so of course big operators like Bet365 are going to devote a lot of time and money to develop mobile application to cater to a huge audience. There are two ways to access Bet365 on mobile phones or tablets. First, you can simply visit bet365.com by typing the URL into your address bar. The other option is to use the mobile app available in the Play Store. We tried both options and the differences are almost non-existent. Convenience is everything nowadays and Bet365 have everything we value in a betting app. Design and navigation are user friendly, and wagers are usually completed within seconds! In our opinion, in-play betting has the best design in the entire online betting industry. Here’s a screenshot from random football match:

Even though this is a match from the Brazilian tier-two league, the number of markets available is just mind-blowing. From top to bottom, you can check the timeline of events that happened so far, line ups, table and league stats. Did we mention how great their live streaming service is? They are even covering lower divisions like this one and the quality of stream is high for mobile devices. Browsing is ridiculously easy and neat, while the cash out option is very eye-catching and reactive. This is one of the easiest five-star ratings for mobile apps in our opinion. Try it and you will be hooked within minutes.

 

Bet365 Security

 

The British Gambling Commission is one of the most reputable bodies in the world of sports betting and online casinos. They have issued an operating license to Bet365 a long time ago, which surely plays a massive role in making players feel safe. Protection also comes from encryption technology, saving player information from potential hacker attacks. In order to hold an account with Bet365, you need to be at least 18 years old and go through the verification process. There is a possibility to enable two-step login authenticator. Upon opening a brand-new account, you will be asked to opt in for this extra-security measure. Players choose 4-digit code and every time when someone logs in from a new device, they will be asked to confirm the PIN.

 

 A bit earlier in this review, we talked about how seriously Bet365 takes the gamble responsibly message. Having control over bets and not letting betting activities impact your life in a negative way is essential. This operator has regular reality checks to let players know they have logged in for x amount of time, Deposit Limits options and Time-Out Box where punters can set a number of hours or days to take a break from gambling. Self-Exclusion can be used to “ban yourself” from using a Bet365 account for specific months of the year. You will be in good hands with this operator.

Bet365 Kenya Customer Support

 

According to the latest reports, Bet365 has 63 million users across the world. This said, it’s not a surprise to see their customer support department present 24/7, even during the holidays. There are a series of guides and helpful articles located on their website which in most cases can provide you with a quick answer and solve the issue. Players can contact support through multiple channels, from email, Telegram, live chat window, and more. We have never encountered an operator who responds with generic messages – you get a real and competent person to assist and solve the active issue as soon as possible. The only downside we had over the last few years was a five-minute wait in the queue for a live chat support agent – no biggie! Another five-star rating from us.

 

Bet365 Kenya Final Verdict

Before we jump into the final conclusion, let’s take a look at what customers say about Bet365 on global platforms for discussion and reputation, like Trustpilot for example. The biggest complaint in the last couple of months is coming from a player who is not happy about the fact that Bet365 doesn’t have the option to delete the account. We reviewed several websites like Trustpilor, Reddit and Quora and compiled the best and worst from this Bookmaker:

What are players saying on Quora & Reddit

When we read reviews from international players on Quora, there are good and bad stories. There are quite a few happy reviews from players who have been playing on BET365 for a long time. But there are also some complaints about, the Bet365 app and account closures or bans after sports competitions. Our experience shows that this is often associated with suspicious behavior. Preventing fraud and money laundering sometimes brings people frustration. As you can see below some players have had account closures while others have experienced very positive service.

John Attiri / 23.02.2022

“Cannot log in at all, all the contact methods do not work as they are all down or closed for some bizarre reason.

Account seems to be locked with no explanation. Really poor customer service as you can’t contact them via their website”

Jim Bob / 1 year ago

“I think the “up to $100(apologies my keyboard is confused and I can’t find the pound sign…) free bets is good,
their ID verification is a bit of a pain, but their staff are very helpful, and I find the “Place Plus” ability in horse racing interesting.
it’s not as easy a UI as Paddy Power but you can go more in-depth.”

As with any big operator, there will always be disappointed people, but the story is different on Reddit. There are some negative threads like this, but it seems that a lot of people are defending the bookmaker:

octopig / 6 months ago

“Used Bet365 for years now. Withdrawn thousands with ease.

Something is up here that you’re not telling us.”

Our own opinion

Take this with a grain of salt, but honestly, we think that the pros outweigh the cons. Here is our takeaway
