Odibets Kenya – Overview & Rating
Wide variety of betting markets
Many features
Live streaming available
User-friendly site
OdiBets claims to be Kenya’s favourite betting site according to the website itself and we couldn’t agree more. OdiBets is a good and clear site that gives up a cluttered visual to bring the punter a simple and clear interface in which nothing will disturb him from betting, while also keeping a really well laid out design.
OdiBets – Official Company Info
OdiBets was launched in 2018. It is a multifunctional betting site hosting various sport games and a casino.
The company is owned by Kenyans and is based in Nairobi Kenya. The owner is Jimmy Kibaki the son of former president Mwai Kibaki.
Who cannot play at OdiBets?
OdiBets is available for all people of South Africa over 18. OdiBets also has a very well-written Responsible Gambling public service ad on their website which includes tips on how to stay cool while gambling, and how to avoid addiction or loss of funds.
It is important to note that OdiBets is currently available only in Kenya and newly in Ghana if you are located there. You still need a Kenyan or Ghanan telephone number to register and play.
Business Transparency
BCLB regulates and authorizes OdiBets. They are operating under the Betting, Lotteries, and Gaming Act. In Kenya, you can only bet when you are over 18, and OdiBets is a safe betting site.

The company’s address is Kalson Towers, 7th Street, Nairobi, Kenya.
OdiBets is well known for signing deals with local teams and supporting the National amputee football team.
Yes, OdiBets as one of the top Kenyan betting sites does cover almost all major events except for eSports. Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Rugby, or even Darts.
OdiBets also covers SRL, which you can find under the eSports tab.
Odibets.com.gh only operates in English.
EnglishWe must say we were surprised at the amount of popularity OdiBets has amassed in Kenya. OdiBets is a fresh site that speaks to the youth and has elevated the betting site scene.
OdiBets functions as a mobile-oriented platform that, at the time of publishing, only has an app for Android devices. However, it has a very well-designed website that works like a charm.
The website is definitely suitable for all punters, offering many ways for betting, for example, an online casino branch that can be accessed from the web itself, or all favourite live betting.
OdiBets also offers a wide range of new customer offers, deals, and other benefits and promotes a daily chance to win 2GB of data.
Pros OdiBets – What we like
As we mentioned a few lines above, OdiBets has elevated the current betting site scene. The main selling point is the focus on the mobile market. But let’s dig into the details.
Before we look at the mentioned SMS betting and more advanced features of OdiBets, let’s look at what we see first when visiting the website. Overall solid design. There is nothing to talk about here because this site is just amazing! Of course, it also has shortcomings, but nothing that would be noticeably unpleasant.
Minimalist design combined with beautiful green and only where it is really needed. The information is clear and the website works well on a mobile phone.
Of course, design is not everything and OdiBets has enriched us with a wide range of features, including fast switching between betting types and the inclusion of a jackpot system and liveCasino.
We must also give credit to the awesome customer support team, as they are very friendly employees and respond on social networks immediately.

Where OdiBets could improve and what we dislike
One of the few downsides we have experienced is that the site seems to promote betting on eSports, but it is just an empty icon that does not lead to any eSports.
At the time of writing this review, the mobile app is designed only for android, leaving iOS users dependent on the website.
Another downside is that OdiBets is accessible only from Kenya and Ghana respectively, with a Kenyan or Ghanan telephone number.
Do we recommend OdiBets?
In conclusion, yes, we can definitely recommend OdiBets.
Final Verdict: OdiBets is a very good site for punters of all kinds, offering great customer support, many promotions, and a dominating presence on the Kenyan betting scene. Accompanied by a smooth website and an android app.
Let’s figure out {inlink-1} #how we assess# OdiBets services.

OdiBets Features
OdiBets Promotional Features
OdiBets changes its promotional features quite often and also offers exciting promotions on different public holidays, such as St Valentine’s Day.
In early 2022, Odibets had a new promotional feature called mbogi bonus and happy hour promotion.
OdiBets Top Features
Odi League
OdiBets offers virtual sports betting options which the bookmaker dubbed Odi League. It works similar to a regular world league. The English one, for example. You will be able to bet on different teams and players. Matchdays are spread throughout the day and provide a fun and enjoyable betting experience. But we have to say OdiBets does not stop with the English League, the bookmaker offers the Spanish, Italian and to no one’s surprise the Kenyan League.
Live Betting
We watched a live Basketball game, San Juan vs Warsaw.
Live Betting is one of OdiBets top features and it clearly evolved into a very smooth and engaging experience. To host 500 live games every day is not a big deal for OdiBets. OdiBets offers in-play action and I’m currently looking at a game that rocks a whopping +150 markets! As if that weren’t enough, the company even supports a live streaming feature!
ODITV
ODITV offers you the opportunity to watch sports events live on the OdiBets site and in the app, but this feature is available only after signing up.
In-Game Stats
OdiBets offers statistics of the live event on the site. Just click on the match you want to check and you will be presented with the required information.
Boosted odds
OdiBets offers boosted or enhanced odds for some events both prematch and live.
Daily Jackpot
Odibets promotes a daily jackpot which is named “LAKI TATU DAILY JACKPOT”, and is based on pool betting on pre-selected football matches. You basically need to predict 10 matches and have at least 10 KSH on your account. To win the incredible daily jackpot consisting of 300,000 Kshs, you need to correctly predict all of the 10 matches.

Design & Usability 4/5
- User-friendly
- Beautiful minimalistic design
- When accessing this bookmaker from a pc, it seems a bit odd as it has been designed and laid out for mobile users.
Although the site is more mobile friendly,we can still confirm it has been well designed and works seamlessly.
Needless to say, it looks a little bit weird on computers, because it is really just a port of a mobile website.
Mobile 4/5
- User-friendly
- Only for Android
The mobile app is very well made, is smooth, and pretty much works flawlessly. It is designed only for Android but the app and the website are identical in design so iOS users can just use the website in their mobile browser.
Deposits & Withdrawals Options 5/5
- Solid deposit limits
- Deposits only possible using M-Pesa
- Instant withdrawal
- SMS withdrawal
Now OdiBets really comes to play as a strong competitor. The platform works with M-PESA to deposit your fund and the deposit is instant.
Also for withdrawal, you will use your phone and request via SMS which is very convenient since the whole site works with your phone number. You can of course withdraw using the web browser. This is also very simple, just navigate to the Menu and select Withdrawal. Just put in your first and last name along the requested amount. After that, click on “withdrawal”. You are however limited with a minimum withdrawal amount of 100 Kshs. A big bonus is that the withdrawal process is instant.
Welcome Offer 4/5
- Free bet for newcomers
- Refer a friend
Odibets currently offers a newcomer bonus of 30 Kshs on your first bet making it free. There is also a new mbogi bonus which is basically a refer a friend program where you can get up to 100 Kshs instantly when your friend places a bet.
Pre-Match Offer 4/5
- Interesting sports
- Variety of submarkets to choose from
OdiBets offers a huge variety of submarkets that include Asian Handicap, Team to win the First half, Odd/Even number of goals, and many more. Tennis, Rugby, Darts, Ice Hockey, and Soccer are just some of 12 sports that OdiBets offers. We believe this list will only grow, as it has done in the past.
This is for sure a huge improvement compared to the meagre range of 9 sports that OdiBets offered.
Live Offer 5/5
- Wide line
- Live streaming
- Fast betting
The live betting line boasts over 500 live games spanning across all the sports that are available there. OdiBets also provides the punter with an option to live stream the games which is a huge bonus.
It is also important to state that OdiBets is one of the best working, and most responsible betting sites in Kenya, so the sharpest punters have an excellent playground!
Service & Customer Support 5/5
- Instant reply
- Many options for contacting the support service
There is nothing bad to say about the customer service that OdiBets provides.
It is also important to state that OdiBets does not have a live chat option, but makes up for it with their social media sites which essentially work as live chat. When I made an inquiry on Facebook I got a reply under 10 seconds, no kidding! This applies to their Twitter and their Instagram too.
Sportsbook Promotions 4.5/5
- A limited number of promotions
- No loyalty scheme
- Happy hour
- Frequent promotions
OdiBets offers a sweet newcomer bonus and a refer a friend bonus as we stated above. Well, it does not end there!

We have compared the odds with other top Kenyan sites and we came to the conclusion the odds are close to each other across these platforms. However, OdiBets does truly offer higher odds for unfavourable outcomes.

The online casino on OdiBets is accessed via the main menu and is a separate website.
