- You may not copy, redistribute, or exploit the content or event data except for personal use related to bets.
Liability limitations
- Services are provided on an as-available basis. Interruptions, delays, or data errors may occur.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability for losses arising from service outages, third-party failures, or transmission errors is limited to the amount of the affected stake or the impacted portion of the bet.

- Disputes should first be raised through the complaints process set out below before any further legal action.
General Betting Rules
Eligibility to place bets
- Bets may be placed only by verified users who are 18+ and legally allowed to bet in Kenya.
- Your account must have sufficient cleared funds before bet acceptance.
Bet acceptance and confirmation
- A bet is accepted once a unique ticket reference appears in your account history.
- Bets placed after an event start time are void unless offered in-play and accepted before the relevant outcome occurs.
- Odds may change before acceptance. The confirmed odds at acceptance apply to settlement.
Minimum and maximum amounts
- Minimum and maximum stake limits, and any maximum payout per market or per bet, are displayed at the point of bet placement and may vary by event.
- Limits may be adjusted based on risk, account history, or regulatory requirements.
Settlement and calculation
- Settlement is based on official results and governing body records at the time of settlement.
- Winnings are calculated using the confirmed odds multiplied by the stake, subject to market rules. A losing bet results in loss of the stake.
- If a selection is void, that leg is settled at odds of 1.00 and the remainder of the bet stands.
Restrictions
- We may restrict markets, suspend betting, limit stakes, or refuse a bet to manage risk, comply with legal obligations, or protect integrity.
- Where bonuses or a bonus bet is used, specific promotional terms apply. Wagering, market, or odds restrictions may be enforced.
Cancellations and palpable errors
- A bet may be voided where there is a manifest error, such as an obvious pricing mistake or an event listed incorrectly.
- If an event is abandoned, postponed, or rescheduled, settlement follows the specific market rules communicated on the site for that event.
- Technical failures that prevent confirmation or settlement may result in bet voidance or correction to reflect the fair outcome.
Records
- The transaction log within your account is the authoritative record for bets, stakes, odds, and results. Please read your bet slip carefully before confirming.
Payment Rules
Funding your account
- Deposits may be made using methods available in Kenya, which can include local mobile money, bank cards, bank transfer, and approved e-wallets, as displayed in the cashier.
- Currency for Kenya accounts is normally Kenyan shillings (KES). Exchange rates and provider fees may apply where another currency or international method is used.
Withdrawals
- Withdrawals are generally paid back to the original funding method, subject to method capability and legal requirements.
- Identity verification (KYC) is required before the first withdrawal and whenever risk checks are triggered. We may request documents showing identity, address, and source of funds.
Limits, fees, and timeframes
- Minimum and maximum amounts per transaction are shown in the cashier and may differ by method.
- We aim to process deposits instantly. Withdrawal processing times vary by method and verification status, typically from minutes up to 3 business days.
- Network, bank, or wallet operators may charge fees. Any platform fee will be shown before you confirm the transaction.
Security and AML checks
- Transactions are monitored under Kenyan anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws. Unusual patterns may trigger holds or additional checks.
- We may temporarily place a hold or split a payout while we complete required reviews.
Restrictions and cancellations
- We may decline or reverse a deposit or withdrawal if it breaches these rules, bonus terms, AML requirements, card scheme rules, or sanctions controls.
- You may cancel a pending withdrawal if it has not yet entered processing. Once processing starts, cancellation is not guaranteed.
- Chargebacks or disputed payments may lead to account restrictions and recovery of related costs.
