Part of Betwinner’s success in Kenya is the well-structured and easy-to-use sportsbook. However, with the great range of sports, outcomes and bet types, one may need help properly getting started. This is what this guide is all about. Before we get to it however let’s go through the most important information you need to know when it comes to betting here.
First and foremost, the bookmaker accepts bets based on a list of available markets, each accompanied by odds that reflect the expected chances of different outcomes happening. Users can start betting with a minimum stake of 22 KES, ensuring accessibility for all levels of bettors. The maximum stake, however, is determined individually by Betwinner for each selection and can vary depending on the sport and event in question.
When it comes to the system), the minimum/maximum stake limit among the selected legs will apply, ensuring that bettors are aware of their limits. The maximum odds allowed for a single wager are set at 200, while accumulator bets can reach up to 500. Betwinner maintains the right to limit or adjust the maximum stakes or odds for specific selections and customers without prior notification or explanation. The flexibility allows Betwinner to manage risk and ensure fair play. Additionally, the maximum return on any single bet is capped at 1,000,000 KES, providing a clear boundary for potential winnings.
Placing a bet on Betwinner is straightforward. A bet is considered accepted once it has been registered on the server and confirmed online, ensuring transparency and reliability. It’s important to note that bets cannot be altered or revoked once they are registered. The system only accepts bets that do not exceed the current balance in the customer’s account. After a bet is registered, the stake amount is immediately deducted from the account, and any returns are credited after the bet is settled. Betwinner’s policy ensures that bets are placed before the event starts; however, live (in-play) bets are an exception, as they are placed during the event and remain valid until the match ends.
Bet Adjustments and Cancellations
If a single wager is canceled, the amount is refunded automatically to your account. In the case of ACCA and system bets, any canceled legs are excluded from the bet settlement. Errorious bets due to result entries, will be recalculated to ensure accuracy. Bets placed between the erroneous settlement and recalculation remain valid, but the bettor must ensure a positive account balance after recalculation to continue placing bets. Events are only considered rescheduled or canceled if officially announced by the relevant authorities, and Betwinner will adjust the Sports section accordingly.
Deliberate attempts to mislead Betwinner’s staff with false data about betting, payouts, or event results will result in bet cancellations. The policy also applies to bets placed by minors or their guardians. Furthermore, any bets placed on known outcomes, where the event has finished but the results have not been updated, will be voided. In events with more than one winner, the stake is divided among the winners, and if there are three or more winners, the bets are settled with odds equal to one.
