The 22Bet Kenya Experience
22Bet offers a clean website interface with easy-to-access icons. Top matches to look out for are prominently displayed on the left part of the website. 22Bet has distinguished itself in offering multiple languages to its players and we were impressed to find Kiswahili as part of the languages. This is a nice addition as the language is native to Kenya.
The website is secured by some of the latest encryption technology so you shouldn’t worry about your account disappearing or being hacked into. The two top mobile payment platforms – Safaricom and Airtel – have also put in place measures to ensure your account balance is safe.
We found the site easy to navigate with a support section coming in handy should you get lost. At the bottom center of the screen is a popup icon that displays your bet slip and bets. The betting slip had all the information you will need like your maximum stake, payout, and even excise tax charged for your bets.
Sports betting
The company stands out by its wide array of sporting events. You have over 27 different sports events ranging from football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, Aussie Rules, Badminton, Boxing, baseball, table tennis among others. You can find out about the best offers by clicking on the “matches of the day”.
The site also offers you a mix of international matches, such as:
- FIFA World cup
- EPL
- UEFA championship

- Domestic leagues like the Kenya Premier League.
Besides the sporting categories, you also have a wide range of betting options to choose from like score cast, first scorer, current score, double chance, goal interval among others. The payout for soccer can be as high as 95% which makes it one of the best in the market.
22Bet helps boost your adrenaline levels through their in-play betting option. Here punters are allowed to place bets on an ongoing live event. The odds will vary in every sport you are making the bet and in some instances, it will change during commercial breaks or timeouts.
Virtual Sports betting
The online betting site offers a virtual sports betting section where players are treated to an array of fixed-odds events. The sports are quite engaging as they are shorter than the real games.
They are also supported by some of the top developers in the market like Golden Race, Leap Gaming, EDGE Gaming, and 1X2 Network. You can engage in sports like;
- Basketball
- Football
- Horse racing
- Tennis
- Motorsports
- Cock fighting
- Cycling.
Online Casino
The online casino offers you a fun way to take a break from the sports betting section. Here players are treated to an array of awesome slots like baccarat, roulette, spin of the wheel, blackjack among others. The slots are backed up by some of the biggest software developers in the market including;
- NetEnt
- Microgaming

The huge library of online casino games is quite impressive. It is quite impossible to get bored on the site. 22Bet offers online casino players a handsome Kshs. 35,000 bonus subject to prevailing terms and conditions.
Some of the online casino games have demo play, which is a nice way to see whether it is worth playing, or not. You will find the same titles on the mobile app
22Bet offers live casino which allows for a more engaging way to wager bets. Here you are provided with a table with live dealers. The games are powered by some top names in the market like Evolution, Absolute, and 2Nlive.

Banking methods
22Bet Kenya offers very flexible payment options with the most widely used being Mpesa. Funding and withdrawing your winnings should not be a problem with the availability of over 40 payment options like 27 cryptocurrencies, debit and credit cards, e-wallets like Skrill among others. You can also make deposits in the various 22Bet betting shops spread across the country.
Note that winnings are paid out through the same method you used for deposits.
22Bet is known to process withdrawals fast with mobile payments taking a maximum of 15 minutes to process. Deposits and withdrawals on Mpesa are done via Paybill numbers 895599 and 152661 for Airtel money.
How to deposit money via Mpesa
- Go to the Mpesa menu
- Select the “Lipa na Mpesa” option
- You will be prompted to enter the pay bill number
- Enter 895599
- Enter the Account number – 22Bet
- Enter Amount (In our case, the minimum is 112)
- Enter your Mpesa PIN and click on Send
- You should get an SMS confirmation
The minimum deposit amount is set at Kshs. 100 for the Debit and credit cards and Kshs. 112 for the Mpesa and Airtel money. Withdrawal amounts are determined by the method you are using with Mpesa applying a limit of Kshs. 150,000. The minimum payout sum is Kshs. 225.
Cash-out
The cash-out feature is a great way to minimize your losses by taking back your stake when you notice the results are not in your favor.
While you will still lose some money by activating the feature, you will have some cash left to wager on the next game.
Bonuses and promotions
22Bet offers players a great number of ways to increase their wager and reap handsome rewards from various sports bets.
Compared to other betting companies, we found the 22Bet login bonus to be one of the most generous. The bonus allows you to get up to Kshs. 15,000 when you sign up to the platform.
To withdraw the matching reward you will be required to place an accumulator bet that is 5 times the bonus amount with at least 3 sports events of 1.4+ odds each. The bonus does come with an expiry date of seven days. Also, you will need to deposit Kshs. 100 to activate it.
The Friday deposit bonus is what you need to kick start your weekend. Every Friday you get the chance to win a 100% deposit bonus. The bonus money is limited to 24 hours so you need to act fast to wager on a sporting event you like.
To withdraw the money you will need to place three accumulator bets 3x the bonus amount with at least three lines of 1.4+ odds each. The bonus is limited to a maximum of Kshs. 12,000 which is a fair amount for most Kenyans
It can be confusing placing a bet with so many options available. The accumulator bet odds narrows down for you the top sports of the day. Once you choose the sport you are interested in and place your stake on the accumulator you get the chance to earn a 10% odd increment if your accumulator wins.
This feature is available for both live and pre-match sports.
This is different to the welcome bonus and applies to new players to the 22Bet Kenya casino section. Here you get a 100% bonus of up to Kshs.35,000.
Various terms and conditions apply like the wagering requirement for the casino bonus being 50x. The bonus is directly applied to your account once you make a deposit.
Responsible Gaming
22Bet offers you a secure and fun place to make bets. However, like all bets the outcome is unpredictable. This means you can lose money or end up with a gambling addiction.
To encourage responsible gaming, 22Bet Kenya offers you personalized support services via live chat. Here you can talk to someone about your lack of betting control.
The website offers very little information on how to practice responsible gambling; neither does it have tools on the same. It is our guess the only option available is the live chat.
Customer Support
22Bet offers its customers various ways to reach them. The customer care team is professional, polite, and helpful. On the 22Bet website, you will find the live chat active under the support>consultant tab. Once activated you should get a response within a few minutes.
You can also contact them via phone calls, emails, and their various social media platforms. For phone calls, you may be put on hold for a couple of minutes before someone attends to you.
