There’s all a Kenyan wagering fan could possibly want and more!

You are free to use Elitebet in Kenya without a single issue, as the site has proper licensing from the Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya. Elite bet is run by Seal Capital Partners Ltd, which is a company that’s based in the United Kingdom.

Elitebet Facts and Figures

First up, football fans in Kenya are likely to recognise the name of Elitebet, as they are one of the sponsors of Ulinzi Stars, the army, navy and air force side that plays in the Kenyan Premier League. The name of Elitebet appears on the away jersey of the team.

Sports bettors in Kenya may be familiar with the concept of the welcome bonus, as some sites do offer an extra incentive in order to persuade brand new customers to sign up with them. Unfortunately, there seems to be zero concept of a welcome bonus at Elitebet. There are some bonus deals though (involving accumulators) and we will come to those later.

The ‘Maraobet’ feature will be of interest to many sports bettors, hopefully. You go through a list of chosen games and select which games will NOT contain a clean sheet. You can choose from three to fifteen games and the more you pick, the bigger the odds. You need to get all predictions correct though in order to be a winner.

The site also has jackpot games, virtual sports games such as football, horse racing and speedway, a roulette-style game called ‘Spin&WIn’ plus keno.

Is Elitebet a Reliable Betting Site?

The most important thing for any sports betting site in Kenya is that it has proper licensing from the Betting Control and Licensing Board. We are happy to report that Elitebet is fine in this respect. Wagering at an unlicensed site is never recommended! If you find that your account has been compromised or that money has been taken from your M-Pesa account, then if you are using an unlicensed site then you may have difficulty in recovering your cash.

Elitebet does not though say much about how it keeps its customers safe and sound, which is unusual. Most sites these days have a privacy policy that states quite firmly how it deals with sensitive customer information. We are not saying at all that Elite bet is a fraud site (far from it) but it is best you keep your important information to yourself when you are dealing with this site.

Elitebet Bonus Offers

There are four common bonus offers at Elitebet:

• Midweek multi-bet –place a multi-bet on any weekday of a minimum of five games and if your selection fails by one you receive your complete bet back. All games must have minimum odds of 1.50 in order to qualify.
• Multibet bonus boost –place a multi-bet of at least five selections and receive a bonus boost to your winnings. The more selections, the bigger the boost!
• Friday SOSA bonus –place a minimum number of bets during the week and you could receive a SOSA bonus on Friday!
• Mabeshte bonus –earn 100 KES for every friend that you refer to the Elitebet sports book

These bonuses can all be found on the site’s promotions page, so make sure you check there to see if any of them change, or if any new promotions arise.

How to Register and Create an Account at Elitebet

Registering an account at Elitebet is very simple, and can be done via the website, or via your mobile phone.

How to register and create an account at Elitebet online

• Go to the Elitebet and click the ‘Register’ button
• Fill in your mobile phone number twice (the second time as confirmation)
• Check the box to say you agree to the site’s terms and conditions
• That’s it! You are now a registered user of the Elitebet sportsbook

How to register and create an account at Elitebet via your mobile phone

• Go to the M-Pesa app on your mobile
• Select ‘Lipa na M-Pesa’
• Select ‘Pay Bill’
• Enter the business number 850799
• Enter the account number Elitebet
• Enter the amount of your initial deposit (i.e. 10 KES – which is the minimum)
• Enter your M-Pesa PIN and confirm
• That’s it! You are now a registered user of the Elitebet sports book with money in your account!

In either case, you will be sent a PIN that you can associate with your Elitebet sportsbook account. You will need this PIN whenever you sign into your account. Note that you can only open an account via SMS at Elitebet if you are willing to make an initial deposit at the site at the same time.

Elitebet is more than a Betting site: Jackpots, Virtual Sports and Casino Games!

The Jackpot game at Elitebet is only available at certain times of the year, usually when the main football leagues in Europe are in operation. You have to predict the ‘1X2’ result of a selection of football matches, usually fifteen. If you get all your predictions correct, then you could win a life-changing amount of cash!

If you are having difficulty in finding something to bet on, then you could try the many virtual sports that are available at this site. You will be able to bet on football, greyhounds, horses, speedway and camels.

Completing the non-sporting options at Elitebet you will find a lottery-style game called ‘Color-Color’, a very basic roulette game called ‘Spin&Win’, another but different lottery-style game called ‘Super 6’ and a form of keno. They are all pretty basic games, it has to be said. If you’ve played casino-style games elsewhere on the internet, then you are unlikely to be thrilled by the casino options at Elitebet.

How to Deposit and Withdraw at Elitebet

Depositing at Elitebet bet is very easy, as you simply use the same method as listed above for registration. You can select any amount that you want to deposit, although the minimum accepted deposit is always 10 KES.

M-Pesa is the only way in which you can get money into and out of your Elitebet account. Some sportsbooks in Kenya accept Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards or eWallets like PayPal, but Elite bet is not one of them.

To withdraw, you can either withdraw via the Elitebet site, or you can withdraw via your mobile.

To withdraw via the website, you need to log in then go to ‘View Account History’ and ‘Withdraw’. Select the amount that you want to withdraw and submit. The money you withdraw will be sent to your M-PESA account.

You can also withdraw via SMS. Just send an SMS to 29210 with the letter ‘W’ followed by the amount that you want to withdraw. So, to withdraw 500 KES you would send W 500 to 29210.

There are no fees for withdrawing from your Elitebet account. The minimum amount you are able to withdraw is 50 KES and the maximum is 70,000 KES per transaction. Please note that this transaction limit is set by M-Pesa, and not by Elitebet. You can only withdraw up to 140,000 KES per day via M-Pesa too.

Mobile App for Android or iPhone

You can bet at Elitebet using your mobile phone, but only via SMS messaging. If you are unsure as to how you can place bets using SMS at Elitebet, then the site has a handy FAQ section that you can refer to whenever you want to place a bet using SMS at the site. You can download this guide and print it out, although as soon as you become accustomed to betting using SMS at Elitebet, then you will probably no longer require it.

There are no apps to download at Elitebet for either Android or iOS-based devices, such as iPads or iPhones. You can use the site though on your mobile should you have a phone that can access the internet via a web-browser. Just navigate your way to the site using your browser and the clever software will work out that you are browsing a mobile device. This means that you will get the best experience possible when using the mobile version of Elitebet.

Overall Rating of Elitebet

Football is the most popular sport in the world, and Elitebet seems intent on becoming the most popular sports book in Kenya, for football lovers at least! There is an incredible amount of football coverage at this site, with all global professional leagues covered and developmental and youth football covered too! It’s hard to think that there’s ever a moment at Elite bet where there’s not at least a dozen football games to bet upon!

Of course, not everyone loves football, and people who want to bet upon other sports might find this football-dense sports book a bit of a disappointment.

Why not hop along to Elitebet yourself, and enrich yourself with all this football goodness! It’s very easy to sign up for an account, remember, and you could soon be winning a bit of extra pocket money for yourself with your football betting expertise.
