Pros & Cons of Betting at BetPawa

Win millions

Having researched quite a few Kenyan sports betting sites, we found BetPawa lacking in several aspects. BetPawa offers decent online and sports betting services, but they are definitely not the best. The online sports betting site does not cover as many sports markets as some of the bigger betting sites in Kenya. If you sign up at BetPawa, you will find some great pre-match and live betting options, but you will end up craving a wider range of sports markets to bet on.

As for customer support, BetPawa offers excellent, round-the-clock support through telephone, Whatsapp, social media, and email. However, we couldn’t find a live help facility anywhere. We found this a bit frustrating because it is difficult to obtain the required information and the FAQ section is rather limited. A live help option would have been greatly appreciated.

On the brighter side, BetPawa offers great prices and generous win bonuses, 24/7 customer support, and no fees. The mobile betting interface is excellent, but BetPawa only offers in-browser mobile betting services.

On the downside, there aren’t any dedicated apps for Android and iOS at BetPawa. Also, BetPawa does not offer any SMS betting or cashout facility.

Our Take on BetPawa – Should You Register?

If you are looking for an innovative mobile betting experience, BetPawa Kenya will be a source of great disappointment for you. It is just a simple online and mobile sport betting service that covers a handful of sports markets. The company has thrown in a few online casino games and a football jackpot to spice things up.

If you sign up at BetPawa, you will miss features such as a dedicated iOS and Android apps, cashout, live support, SMS betting, and an exhaustive knowledge base. But you will get a licensed and well-regulated online and mobile betting environment and generous win bonuses on your multi bets.
