BET254 REVIEW

Bet254 is a relatively ‘new’ betting site in Kenya, but it appears to be a rebirth of the once popular Betpawa betting site that was shut down among others by the government. Betpawa used to be one of our top betting sites and we are glad to see that Bet254 has most of the features that made it one of our favorites. Such features include a fast and responsive website, easy jackpot, and quick live betting.

Bet254 In-depth

The bookmaker is fully licensed and registered by the BCLB. Therefor Bet254 is legally operating in the Kenyan market under the regulatory gaming board of Kenya and is licensed in the bookmaking business.

The bookmaker is registered and licensed by the National Gaming Board of Kenya, license number BK 0000119 this can be used a reference point if doubt the legitimacy of the company brand.

The bookmaker was first registered in 2019 and was earlier closed during a crackdown together with other rival firms by the Kenyan government. They have however managed to bounce back and get back in the game as the laws and regulations were revised.

Features

Betting markets

The bookmaker has limited its sportsbook market to only:

• Football
• Basketball
• Tennis

On virtual sports, markets those of leagues in England, Spain and Italy. Although the markets offered are limited, we get access to top leagues on each of the betting market and popular world countries.

Greater odds

Bet254 offers competitive odds with the best odd boosts in the Kenyan market, offering 4.5 times on the odd multiplier. The odds are very impressive with other to bookies in the market offering similar odds on the same events.

In betting, odds are important to make it much easier to win big. Bet254 strives to ensure that its customers get the best odd market prices giving up to 4.5 X boost on multiple bets.

Cash out

Bet254 currently doesn’t offer this feature on its platform and therefore we can’t get anything back in the event you lose a multiple bet by one or more games.

The Kenyan punters are disappointed since most of us are trying to make a living out betting. With such a feature, we are guaranteed a part of the stake back and since the cash out is currently unavailable am sorry to say we may suffer complete loss on stake amount.

Welcome bonus

If you are looking for a welcome bonus, this is not the place for you with punters looking for such a welcome to the betting firm. The bookie should consider introducing the feature in order to increase the rate of new customers.

But we get the best odds boost in the market with up to 4.5 times on multiple bets to a maximum of 45 selection on different sports events and there some so many rules on different betting so check on the rules.

Bonuses and promotions

The Kenyan based punters like promotions such as jackpots very much so we will definitely like the variety of offers in the Bet254 market and they have the arguably the lowest entry stake in the market of just Sh5.

The available million jackpot is worth Sh1,000,000 and you need to pick 13 correct selection and prize for up to 10.

In Goals254 worth Sh500,000, you need to only pick 15 match winners and prizes for up to 13 correct selection for a minimum stake of Sh5.

In Match254 jackpot (UEFA Nations League) worth Sh1,254,000, you only have to pick 20 winners; here 16 correct matches qualifies us for prizes.

The potential win is however subjected to the gaming tax rates of the land.

Livestreaming

The livestreaming feature is important ensure the best gaming experience in live betting since we get much better and accurate information on in-play matches.

With the advancement of technology, the match tracker gives more detailed information on the match as the data is constantly update each second and notifications popping up.

For professional punters this is an important tool if you are looking to make a living out of betting in Kenya.

Payment options

The payment option is limited to the Safaricom paybill number 733338 and therefore we cannot use any other network provider based in Kenya.

For alarge sum of winning, payment will be done by banks especially on withdrawals of jackpots amount and therefore in the lucky event of a huge windfall, you will be required to present yourself at their offices to get a cheque or bank transfers.

Bet254 Pros

• Easy registration process
• Jackpots
• Odd multiplier
• Low stake

Cons

• No cash out
• Limited betting markets
• No welcome bonuses

Verdict

The bookmaker is slowly gaining popularity among low income earners with among the best jackpot offer in the market. Bet254 doesn’t offer cash out, we also have limited access to betting markets and this limits the ability of the punter to the few available markets.

At first sight, we don’t recommend Bet254 since there are much better offers from bigger firms in the Kenyan market and we also don’t have supportive information on winning statistics especially on jackpots.
