1xBet Kenya review

1xBet Kenya

1xBet is an international bookmaker with licences in several countries including Kenya. It is the only sports betting site in the country which offers a welcome bonus of up to KSh 10,000 matched by 100 percent. That’s KSh 20,000 to bet with and you can make deposit using SMS methods such as M-Pesa.

The Kenyan licensed site, which operates under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, offers a huge range of betting markets including football, tennis, basketball, boxing and more.

Along with the betting options, Kenyan punters can use their money to play the slots or a live table game via the casino section, or play their favourite numbers via 1xLotto.

While the site targets Kenyan bettors, International punters are welcome. Want to know more? Keep reading.


1xBet Kenya welcome bonus

Kenyans who want to see their money go further can opt in for the welcome bonus available at 1xBet. The exclusive Kenyan sign up offer is available for your first deposit.

All you have to do is create an account – which only take a few minutes – and fill in all the fields in the “My Account” section. Then make a deposit of up to KSh 10,000 via the range of deposit methods including SMS options like M-Pesa. Your deposit will be matched by 100 percent and appear in the ‘bonus balance’ section.

There’s a few conditions to consider when claiming the bonus. You need to wager the bonus amount five times on an accumulator bet which contains three events or more. Additionally, at least three of the events must have odds of 1.40 or higher.

You can’t make any withdrawals before these conditions are met or the offer will be void. Additionally, the bonus is void after 30 days.

These are strict conditions but if you are after a welcome bonus, clear them and the bonus cash will become real money to use.

1xBet Kenya website layout

Kenya 1xBet bookmaker
1xBet.co.ke can be accessed via your desktop device or on the go on your phone via the mobile site or the app.

The Kenyan 1xBet site mimics the bookmaker’s main layout for its international sites. There are a few features missing, such as the cryptocurrency exchange service, but the Kenyan-facing site offers nearly everything the European site provides. The best part is you can preview the site before signing up to see if you like the odds and promotions.

You will find the account tools/registration links, as well as the settings tool, in the top right hand side of the page. In the top left hand corner there is a link to the app version of the site, as well as a link to a page on disguising your location for punters located in restricted gambling areas. The page includes VPN suggestions, as well as a direct download to the mirror of the 1xBet website known as “1xBet Access”. Kenyans shouldn’t have any problem accessing the site though.

The main menu panel allows for easy navigation to promotions, the bookmaker, the casino, the live casino and other gambling games. The ‘More’ tab includes links to lottery options, live results, bingo and more.
