Sports Betting Rules

Last Updated 15th November 2021

The Sports Betting Rules are divided into General Sports Betting Rules (Section 1) and Individual Sports Rules (Section 2) for ease of understanding, collectively referred to as “the Rules”. It is important that you make yourself aware of these Rules. In addition to these Rules, Event/Market Specific Rules that may be found under events and markets on the Website shall be viewed as part of these Rules.

The Rules are part of the agreement between you and us. The Terms and Conditions shall apply and all definitions from those Terms and Conditions shall apply to these Rules.

Section 1: General Sports Betting Rules

1. Introduction and Interpretation

1.1 Where there is a conflict between these Rules and any other terms and conditions, these Rules shall apply.

1.2 In the event there is a conflict between these General Sports Betting Rules and a particular Individual Sports Rule, the Individual Sports Rule prevails.

1.3 If there are differences between the English original version and a translated version of this text, the English version shall prevail.

1.4 We reserve the right to revise and update the Rules at any time. You are responsible to keep updated with the current valid Rules. With the placement of a bet, you accept the validity and applicability of the Rules in the respective valid version.

2. Definitions

“Extra Time” or “Overtime” refers to a period of time in a sports game in which the play continues if neither team has won in the Regulation Time allowed for the game where a winning result is required.

“Multibet” means a bet that is wagered against multiple selections, where all selections must be correct for the bet to be won.

“Regulation Time” or “Normal Time” refers to the period of time over which a sports game is played that is set out as the normal duration of play within the sport’s rules.

“Stake” means the amount wagered on a bet.

“Single” or “Single Bet” means a bet that is wagered against a single selection.

3. Limits

3.1 The minimum stake allowed to be wagered is: (a) KSH 1 for multibets and (b) KSH 1 for single bets.

3.2. The maximum winnings allowed per bet are: (a) KSH 5,000,000 for multibets and (b) KSH 400,000 for single bets.

3.3 The maximum winnings allowed for a customer is KSH 10,000,000 per day.

3.4 In the case that you place several identical bets (also combinations of single bets and multibets) for which the total winnings exceed the limit for the maximum winnings allowed per bet as defined in term 3.2, then we reserve the right to void or reduce the bet(s) to comply with the winnings limits, and furthermore to suspend or close your account.

3.5 We may, at our own absolute discretion, impose a lower limit on the maximum winnings allowed than as defined in term 3.2 on specific bets, depending on the sport, competition, and market.

3.6 We may, at our own absolute discretion, apply different limits to your account than those specified in these Rules.

3.7 All amounts specified for these limits are gross figures and therefore inclusive of applicable taxes.

4. Bet Placement & Acceptance

4.1 We only accept bets that are placed through the following channels:

(a) our Website;

(b) by SMS sent to our short code (23333);

4.2 It is your responsibility to ensure the details of any bets that you submit to us are correct and that you have understood the mechanics of the bets before placing them.

4.3 The stakes wagered for your bets will be deducted from your account balance in the order in which they are received. We will not accept any bets for which the stake shall exceed your account balance.

4.4 Multibets are not accepted where the outcome of one of the selections contributes to or correlates with the outcome of any other selection in the bet.

4.5 We reserve the right to suspend a market or selection at any time, either on a temporary or permanent basis. We will not accept any bets on markets / selections while they are suspended.

4.6 We reserve the right to decline all or part of any bet you place with us at our sole and absolute discretion.

4.7 A bet that you have placed will only be considered as valid once it has been accepted by us and it has been assigned a unique bet identifier, which shall be communicated to you in the bet receipt. We shall not be liable for the settlement of any bets which have not been accepted by us and that have not been issued with a unique bet identifier. If you are unsure about the validity of a bet, please check your bet history or contact our customer service team.

4.8 In the event that you do not receive confirmation of the bet placement due to issues outside of our control, the bet shall still be considered as valid.

4.9 All odds in our sportsbook are subject to change at any time. All bets shall be placed against the latest odds. Should the odds change from the time a bet is placed until it is accepted, the latest odds will be applied.

4.10 For pre-match markets, we will usually only accept bets before or up to the advertised start time. Any bets taken after the event has started shall not be considered as valid and will be voided, unless there has been no action that would in our reasonable opinion significantly affect the outcome of the bet.

4.11 A bet is invalid if the actual date or time of the bet or your personal data are missing due to transmission errors.

4.12 We do not tolerate deliberate and repeated incidents of late betting. This will be considered to be fraud and we will deal with it accordingly.

5.6 We reserve the right to reject any request to cancel a bet at our sole and absolute discretion.

6. Bet Settlement & Payout

6.1 The official result is final for settlement purposes except where specific rules state the contrary. The official result will be determined according to our reasonable opinion, such opinion being formed by reference to all publicly available evidence. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. The podium position in Motor Racing and the medal ceremony in Athletics and any similar official ceremony or presentations in other sports are to be treated as the official result. Where in our reasonable judgement no official result is available, the result will be:

(a) determined by an independent authority whose verdict shall be final for all purposes, or

(b) otherwise determined in accordance with our reasonable opinion, such opinion to be formed by reference to all available evidence.

6.2 Bets will provisionally be settled by reference to all available evidence, but if the result which is determined as set out above differs from the result used for provisional settlement, settlement may be retrospectively adjusted so as to reflect the result so determined.

6.3 If, for some reason, a result occurs that is unclear or not covered by the Rules, we reserve the right to decide the outcome of each such case at our own discretion for settlement purposes.

6.4 All bets will be settled once the last remaining selection in the bet has been settled.

6.5 Where a multibet includes any void selections, the bet will be settled on the remaining selections. If all selections in a bet are void, then the bet will be settled as void and your stake will be returned.

6.6 Winnings from settled bets will be added to the balance of your betting account. Winnings from real money will be added as real money, and winnings from bonus money will be added according to the terms of the bonus.

6.7 All winnings from settled bets are subject to a withholding tax of 20% in accordance with the Income Tax Act under section 35 (1) (i), (3) (h). The tax shall be deducted from your winnings and collected by us for remittance to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Therefore, the actual payout that you receive will be after tax (i.e. winnings - tax).

6.8 A placement tax of 12.5% must be applied to all bet stakes, in line with the Kenyan Government's re-introduction of the Excise Tax on gaming.

6.9 When prices for both match odds and handicap betting are advertised, the bet will be settled on the match odds result unless the handicap price is specifically requested at the time the bet is placed. Where only handicap betting is available the bet will be settled as a handicap bet whether requested or not.

6.10 For bets based on one selection or more beating another according to the specific conditions advised, if a selection in the match bet does not take part the bet will be void. If the selections dead heat, dead heat rules apply.

7. Dead Heats

7.1 If a dead heat between two selections is declared on any event as the official result, unless stated otherwise elsewhere in these Rules, half the stake is applied to the selection at full price and the other half is lost.

7.2 If a dead heat is declared between more than two selections, the stake is proportioned accordingly.

8. Venue Changes

If your selection is no longer playing at the venue advertised your bet will still stand unless the venue has been changed to the opponent's venue, in which case all bets are void. In the case of international matches the venue must remain in the same country.

9. Abandoned Events

If an event is abandoned before it can be concluded, all markets related to the match outcome will, unless specifically stated otherwise, be voided unless an official result is declared. Bets on all markets which have been unconditionally determined will stand, for example in football matches, first goalscorer bets will stand if a goal has been scored.

10. Cancelled or Postponed Events

All markets related to cancelled or postponed events will be voided.

11. No Show

In case of a participant not attending a particular event as scheduled, all related bets are still valid unless the event is cancelled. For example, if Usain Bolt fails to show up at the World Championships, bets relating to Usain Bolt are still valid.

12. Errors

12.1 We do not assume liability for transmitted errors of betting data and results. No claim for damages can in any instance be made because of incorrect, delayed, manipulated or abusive transfer of data on the internet or because of other transmission errors of data and results.

12.2 We assume no liability for the accuracy of live scores, statistics or other information/data that we provide on the Website. Any such information/data displayed on the Website is for reference only and we do not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

13.6 To Cashout a bet you must select “Confirm Cashout” or “Confirm” (a “Cashout Request”). You cannot cancel a Cashout Request once it has been confirmed.

13.7 We may, at our absolute discretion, choose to accept or decline a Cashout Request. A Cashout Request may not be accepted for reasons including, but not limited to, a change in odds or the suspension of a market (including any leg of a multi wager).

13.8 If a Cashout Request is not accepted for some reason, a message will be shown advising you that the Cashout Request was declined and a new Cashout Price may be offered to you. If you did not make a Cashout Request in relation to the new Cashout Price offered, settlement of the original wager will take place, based on the original instructions and odds when the wager was accepted.

(a) Your original bet will come to an end (be “Cashed Out”);

(b) We will pay you the Cashout Price;

13.10 The acceptance of a Cashout Request does not represent a new bet, it is an agreement to end the original bet early.

13.11 The Cashout Price is inclusive of your original stake. The Cashout Price is non-negotiable and will not exceed the value of the original estimated return.

13.12 You will not be eligible for any Bonuses or any other promotions in relation to bets that have been successfully Cashed Out.

13.14 In the event that a Cashout Request has been accepted in error (including where a Cashout Price has been incorrectly offered) or an amount has been incorrectly credited to Your account in connection with a bet that has been Cashed Out, We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to adjust the account to the extent necessary to rectify the error or the incorrect credit. Such adjustment may include:

(a) settling the Cashout Request for an amount equal to the Cashout Price which would have been available in the absence of such error; or

(b) reversing the Cashout Request and settling the wager on the original bet instructions.

If, as a result of any such adjustment, the account goes into debit, we may recover from your account, as a debt due, the amount of the deficiency in the account.

13.15 We reserve the right to suspend, amend, restrict or cease to offer Cashout at any time, on any market or to any customer, without providing a reason or advance notification, even where Cashout has been advertised to a customer as being available.

13.19 Where a Customer has placed a bet on a market that was not available for Cashout at the time the bet was placed by the customer, the customer will not be able to make a Cashout Request in relation to that bet, even if we subsequently make Cashout available on that market.

If a match is abandoned before the first goal is scored, all bets are void. This includes any 'no goalscorer’ bet. If the match is abandoned after the first goal is scored, all bets will stand. If the only goal scored before the end of full time is an own goal, then 'no goalscorer’ will be deemed the outcome.

(d) For last goalscorer best, all bets on a player stand as long as they take to the pitch, regardless of whether they were on the pitch when the last goal was scored. If the only goal scored within 90 minutes is an own goal, then 'no goalscorer' will be deemed to have been the outcome.

(f) For last team to score, settlement is based upon the team scoring the last goal before the end of full time. Own goals DO count for this market. For example, if Chelsea are playing Tottenham and the last goal is an own goal by a Tottenham player, Chelsea would be the winner in the 'last team to score' market.

(g) In the event of uncertainty about who scored a goal, where possible, the official league source is used. In the event that a goalscorer is changed during the game, all bets will be resettled and accounts adjusted accordingly.

For example, if a bet is placed on the first goal to be scored between 11 and 20 minutes and the first goal is scored at 20 minutes 03 seconds; the bet will be a loser as this falls within the 21 to 30 minutes category.

1.27 Scorecasts (first player to score and correct score):

(a) Winning bets will have successfully predicted both the player who will score the first goal in a selected match and also the correct score at the end of full time.

(c) As own goals do not count for first goalscorer purposes, in the event that the first goal is an own goal the scorecast will be settled on the next goalscorer and correct score of the game. If the final score is 1-0 and the goal is an own goal, scorecast bets are settled as a correct score single as above.

(d) In the event that a match is abandoned prior to the completion of full time and a goal has been scored, or the first goal was an own goal, scorecast bets will be settled as first goalscorer single bets. If no goal has been scored, all bets will be void.

Cards will only count which are shown to players after they take the pitch for the first time and before they leave the pitch for the final time. Cards shown to non-players (e.g. managers or subs) do not count. Any card shown after the full-time whistle has been blown shall be disregarded. If after the final whistle a card shown during a game is rescinded, or reduced to a yellow card from a red card, that will not affect the settlement of any markets involving bookings on the game in question.

(c) A player receiving a red card as a consequence of receiving a second yellow card will in all cases be deemed to have been shown one yellow card and one red card.

(ii) In one day matches (excluding Twenty20 matches) top batsman bets will be void if fewer than 20 overs are bowled in the innings and the team is not all out and has not reached a target to win the match; and

(b) Only runs attributed to the named batsman count. Extras (e.g. wides, no-balls, leg-byes, etc.) that occur during the course of that batsman’s innings do not count as runs accrued by that batsman. If a batsman retires hurt but returns to bat later then the total number of runs scored by the batsman during the innings is the final result. If a batsman retires hurt and does not re-emerge to bat during that innings then the score amassed before injury is the final result.

(c) In limited overs matches, unless settlement has already been determined, batsman runs bets will be void if the match is reduced by any number of overs from its original scheduled duration.
