If you arrive at the Betika website for the first time, you may have your head spinning—there’s so much to see and do. Take it easy! We’ll help you understand what’s what and give you a tour of this high-caliber Kenyan platform. 

In this post, you’ll learn how to register and wager, what you can bet on, how to cancel a bet in Betika, and much more.

An Excursion to Gambling Attractions

Betika is a renowned gaming brand hailing from Kenya but successfully operating across Africa.

First and foremost, it’s a sportsbook—that’s how the company was conceived. Moreover, Betika is well-known as a sports patron, extensively supporting and investing in local athletes, teams, and competitions.

But with time, the business started to diversify its gaming product offering. In addition to the sportsbook with a host of pre-match bets and in-play betting options with live event streaming, the platform has a large collection of virtuals, esports, and casino games.

So here is what gambling entertainment awaits you on the bookmaker’s website:

Getting Started: Becoming a Betika User

So now you know how to entertain yourself on the gambling platform, and maybe you even know what you’re going to place your first bet on. It’s time to get ready to play: let’s set up a user account.

Registration Summary

Your mobile phone will be your primary tool for creating an account. Clicking the “Register” button on the Betika site or app will open a registration form with fields for a phone number and password. The whole process can be completed in a flash.

However, you don’t have to go to the platform to sign up; you can just text. SMS “REGISTER” to 29090 or dial *644# for USSD.

The mobile number and password used for registration also serve as login credentials. If you don’t want to enter the details every time, check the “Keep me logged in” box.

Payment System Overview

In terms of payments, Betika favors quick and handy mobile money services, particularly M-PESA and Airtel—Kenya’s market champions.

If you wish to put money in or pull it out of your account, simply select your mobile wallet and proceed with the transaction in your website profile, through the payment operator’s app, or via text messages. The payment hints are collected in the table below.

Betika Wagering Instructions

With your registered account and balance topped up, you’re all set to play. Like the rest of the bookmaker’s core functionality, betting is accessible online on the platform, by SMS, and via USSD.

For the last one, feel free to use the same short code—*644#, and let’s go through the first two in detail.

Placing a Bet Online

After signing in to your Betika account, scrutinize all the games and remember to click on the markets to see all options.

Then, make your prediction by selecting specific odds and check your betslip for the chosen event and potential payout.

Finally, adjust the amount of your bet and place it by hitting the respective button. 

Wagering by SMS

You can request a list of games with their IDs and odds by texting “BETIKA” to 29090. 

Once you’re ready to make a choice, text your prediction to the same number. The message must contain the match ID, your selection, and the stake amount, separated from each other by a hash symbol. Here are the examples:

Canceling a Bet

Betika has an outstanding bet removal feature, activated when you place your wager and valid for 15 minutes.

You can call off a bet by its ID either in your betting history or by texting “CANCEL#BET ID” to 29090. 

This feature works perfectly under the following conditions:

• Cancellation occurs within a 15-minute window.
• A maximum of 3 bets can be revoked per day.
• Cancellation takes place before the event starts.
• Newcomers can use the option after their 4th bet.
• The feature does not apply to jackpots, live wagers, and Shikisha Bets.

Betika Features Worth Checking Out

The promo tab is undoubtedly one of the first places to visit on the Betika gaming platform. It has treats for everyone—casino enthusiasts, fans of instant-win games, accumulator bet lovers, newbies, and old-timers alike.
