About Betkali Kenya
Bet Kali Limited operates the platform under license BK-0001179 from the Betting Control and Licensing Board, issued in 2023. The company targets Kenyan bettors with sports markets and casino games—football accumulators on Kenya Premier League matches, crash games like Aviator and JetX, slots from Pragmatic Play and NetEnt, live dealer tables from Evolution Gaming. English is the only supported language. Kenyan Shilling is the sole currency.
M-Pesa integration means deposits reflect in under 5 minutes typically, sometimes 2 minutes on Tuesday afternoons when transaction volumes drop. Minimum deposit sits at 100 KES. Withdrawals start from 500 KES, processing takes 4-6 hours if KYC verification is already done (that verification needs around 24 hours once you submit your national ID). Maximum M-Pesa deposit per transaction is 250,000 KES, matching Safaricom's daily limit anyway. The sportsbook covers football, basketball, rugby, athletics with pre-match and live betting. Casino section includes 200+ slots, 8 crash games, 15 live dealer tables. Mobile app is available for Android as APK download, no iOS app yet.
Payment methods include M-Pesa, Airtel Money, T-Kash, Equitel Money, bank transfers, Visa and Mastercard. Customer support runs 24/7 via live chat and email. Responsible gambling tools let you set deposit limits and self-exclude if needed. The operator holds partnerships with software providers Pragmatic Play, Spribe, SmartSoft Gaming, Evoplay, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, Yggdrasil, and Galaxsys. Target markets are limited to Kenya only—players from Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika can register but those outside Kenya cannot access the platform.
Registration and Account Access
Registration takes 90 seconds. Open the site, tap Sign Up, enter your Kenyan phone number (must start with +254), email, password (8 characters minimum with at least one number), date of birth (18+ required). Tick the terms box. Submit. Check your phone for SMS verification code, enter it, you're done.
How to log back in
Click Sign In. Type your phone number or email, then password. If you forgot password, tap "Forgot Password" and follow SMS reset—new code arrives in about a minute. Your account dashboard shows balance, active bets, recent transactions once logged in.
Documents needed for withdrawals
Before your first withdrawal, you'll upload a clear photo of your Kenyan national ID or passport. Selfie verification happens if the system flags your account. Document review takes 24 hours on weekdays, sometimes 36 hours if support team has a backlog. I uploaded mine on a Thursday morning, got approved Friday afternoon—so basically 30 hours.

Deposits and Withdrawals
M-Pesa dominates. Go to Deposit, select M-Pesa, enter amount (100 KES minimum), approve the push notification with your PIN. Funds appear in 2-3 minutes, sometimes 5 if Safaricom network is congested. Airtel Money works the same way—instant approval, money reflects almost immediately. T-Kash and Equitel Money are supported but less common. Bank transfers take 1-2 hours during business hours. Visa and Mastercard process in minutes though some banks (Co-operative Bank in particular) block gambling transactions, you'll need to call and whitelist Betkali.
Withdrawals to M-Pesa process in 4-6 hours if KYC is done. First withdrawal takes up to 24 hours because of manual review. Bank withdrawals stretch to 24-48 hours depending on which bank—Equity Bank is quicker than KCB in my experience. Minimum withdrawal is 500 KES. Maximum M-Pesa deposit per transaction is 250,000 KES. Large withdrawals above 500,000 KES might trigger extra verification, but that's rare.
Sports Betting Options
Football takes most of the action. Kenya Premier League gets full coverage—1X2, BTTS, over/under goals, correct score on every match. Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards fixtures have 40+ markets. EPL and La Liga games carry 50+ markets each, accumulators let you combine picks across leagues. Basketball focuses on NBA with point spreads and totals available pre-match and live. Rugby covers Six Nations and World Cup when those run, athletics betting appears during major championships—you can bet on Kenyan runners in distance races. Volleyball and handball exist but with limited markets, mostly just match winners and handicaps. Live betting updates odds every few seconds, cashout works on selected markets though sometimes it's disabled depending on match flow. Bet builder is available for major European leagues but not for domestic Kenyan football yet.
Mobile app and browser version
Android APK downloads from the site, about 15MB, installs in under a minute on decent connection. No iOS app—iPhone users use the mobile browser. Browser version loads fast on 4G, struggles a bit on 3G especially with live betting where odds refresh constantly. Layout fits smaller screens without horizontal scrolling. Push notifications alert you when bets settle or new bonuses drop, though the app does drain battery if you leave match trackers running.
