It is genuinely a good thing when a famous international betting brand starts doing business in Kenya and Africa. They often bring a new approach to the market, or at least they make their domestic competition offer something new to players.
That is precisely what happened with 22Bet. Even though this bookie hasn’t been around for too long, they have become synonymous with huge number of markets, the intense live events and generous bonuses.

ToggleNow 22Bet opened up a shop in Kenya, and they did it the proper way – by obtaining the license of Betting Control and Licencing Board of Kenya (BCLB). That means that their website is localized and tailored to suit the needs of African players, and the same has to be said about the apps.
The attention paid to Africa is also seconded by the choice of the brand ambassador for 22Bet sports. It is Togolese football ace Emmanuel Adebayor, he of Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham lore.
Speaking of apps, 22Bet.co.ke can be downloaded for Android and iOS operating systems, and it is precisely those little pieces of software that will be the main topic of this article.
We will tell you how to use the best features of 22Bet betting app, like casino games, signing up and welcome packages. For players who really like to play, there is a special cashback offer that we cannot wait to present.
We’ve already said that 22Bet operates completely legally in Kenya, so let’s see their license number.

| Nuntis Holdings LTD | 2020 | Kenya | [email protected] | Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya, license number 000417 |
While not exactly ground-breaking by design, the 22Bet mobile app for Android and iOS does bring the world of sports betting, as well as numerous casino games, straight to your pocket.
Here is the incomplete list of the main features; we say incomplete because we’ve been testing this app for an entire week and it was still able to surprise us. Mostly positively, don’t worry.
It can’t all be fun and games, can it? We did find some things lacking in 22Bet app, though it can still be considered one of the best betting app in Africa.
| + Pros | – Cons |
| A plethora of sports, competitions and events that is almost unmatched | We were hoping for a more adventurous design – it just looks like any other app |
| 22Bet is certified by BCLB and possesses all the licenses in Kenya. You can sleep well knowing that you are in safe hands | Some customers might be a bit disappointed that there are just a couple of bonuses and promotions |
| Massive number of live streams for sports and esports | Registration is only possible with mobile phone number |
| A welcome package with fair wagering requirements | |
| Localization is great: Kenyan players can replenish their account with M-Pesa, among many other banking options | |
| There’s a nice ability to personalize the app according to your betting or gambling habits | |
| Emmanuel Adebayor is the brand ambassador, and we just had to say it once again | |
| Couple of dozen of leading game providers in 22Bet casino. There are many casino games with live dealers, too | |
| A warm customer care that you can reach out to 24/7 | |
| iOS app is available in AppStore Kenya |
When it comes to downloading the Android app for 22Bet, the good people from this company made our job easier. They explain the process nicely, and there is even a short video-clip you can play.
The instructions are easy to follow. Here is how to grab that app and .
After we’ve installed the bet22coke.APK, we’ve run it through some additional testing.
| App size | 142 MB (installed) |
| Android version | 5.0 and newer |
| Latest version build | Bet22coke-13(5354) |
Avid readers of our website will recall our review of PariPesa iOS app and the arduous process to download it, which included the changing of the AppStore location.
As luck would have it, there’s no need to take any technological detours with 22Bet iOS app Kenya. You can grab it in the most natural possible way.
Just to make things even clearer, we’ve found some more information on the iOS 22Bet app for you.
| App size | 354 MB (installed) |
| iOS version | 12.0 and later |
| Latest version build | 2.5 |
| Provider name | Arcadia Sport PLC |
| Ratings | 4.7 out of 5 stars |
Like we said, this precious app will allow you to experience everything 22Bet has to offer, and this includes registering.
Please note that you must have a valid and working Kenyan mobile phone number in order to become a fully registered member of 22Bet community.
In order to initiate money withdrawal, you will need to pass the KYC verification. This is a regular request of all casinos and bookmakers in Kenya and entire Africa.
The very first glance at the 22Bet sportsbook will make you realize why it’s true that millions of players trust this bookie for all their football, tennis and exotic sports bets.
We’ve found some more features that underline their approach.
Adding to the bet slip is really easy, and the confirmation time measures in milliseconds, which is absolutely crucial in live betting especially. This is how you make a single bet.
Apart from single bets, you can also add system bets or those exciting accumulators. You may build them yourself, or find the ready-made offers in your account menu – they’re called “Accumulator of the day” and offer increased odds.
We are completely certain that Kenyan players will enjoy everything 22Bet brings to the sports table, especially the huge number of events. This is how we drew the line.
| + Pros | – Cons |
| Amazing number of sports, right up to some that you’ve probably never heard of | The abundance of options might frighten the less experienced users |
| You can add to your bet slip swiftly, and there is almost no waiting period for confirming the live punts | App localization only goes so far – we’d love to see more attention towards Kenyan leagues and Kenyan sports |
| Enjoy live streaming even before your replenish your account | |
| Low initial stakes with huge potential winnings | |
| Accumulator of the Day can help you decide what to wager on | |
| You can personalize the app, so don’t be afraid to experiment |
Even the players who don’t really care for sports would be wise to install 22Bet app, seeing as it has an astonishing supply of casino games.
Add slots and even live casino games to your favourites, and you’ll be able to access them quickly by tapping “My casino”.
And speaking of slots, all the major game providers are there, although, judging by the list of most popular slots for Kenyan players, African fans really enjoy games by Spinomenal (like “Book of Xmas” or “Wild Santa”) and Booongo (“Hit More Gold” and “Tiger Stone”).
The only downside, the one that we’re sure someone is looking into, is the lack of live dealers from Africa. It’s high time that we Africans get some croupiers who speak our languages potentially.
Regrettably, the section with the bonuses and promotions will be shorter than we’d like to. But 22Bet has only just begun attracting Kenyan players and we’re definitely in for some surprises.
Here is what you can count on at the moment.
| Name | Maximum bonus amount | Description | Conditions for converting bonus into real money (wagering requirements) and details on bonus redeeming |
| 100% First deposit bonus (Sports) | 15000 KES | Register via app or on website and make a deposit of at least 125 KES | 5x wagering requirement on accumulator bet slips, with at least 3 selections with odds of 1.40 or higher. No bonus for cryptocurrency accounts. The bonus has to be wagered 7 days after granting |
| 100% First deposit bonus (casino) | 35000 KES | Register via app or mobile website and make a deposit of at least 125 KES | 50x wagering requirement within 7 days, with 22Games counted twice. The stake must not exceed 600 KES |
| Friday Reload sports betting bonus | 12000 KES | Make a deposit of at least 125 KES on a Friday | 3x wagering requirement in accumulator bets of at least three events, with three events having odds of 1.40 or higher. The bonus must be wagered within 24 hours |
| 8% Cashback | 122000 KES | Place bets during the week and get 8% of the money you’ve bet back every Tuesday | Only single or accumulator bets on sports or esports events count towards the bonus. Free bet money can only be used to bet accumulator bets with odds 1.8 or higher |
We trust that you will do the wise thing and select the Sports bonus during registration, if you plan on using 22Bet Sportsbook.
We really appreciated the fair wagering requirement, though we have to say that some other betting companies have thought of juicier welcome packages. One of those, and you can check them out on our website, is 888Starz, which has the bonus for the second deposit, too.
While the bonus amount is not too high, it does depend on the initial deposit, so make sure you top up your account nicely for the first time.
But in addition, there is also a Friday sportsbook bonus, so if you can, save up some money over the week to get that nice extra sum into your account when you replenish it on a Friday.
Sometimes you just get in a rut, and while there is no bonus for a series of losing bets that some other bookies in Kenya provide, 22Bet Cashback will help you get back on your feet.
At the end of each week, the system will calculate the total amount of your wagers and credit you with free bet money on a Tuesday.
Don’t forget to fill in all the required fields in your account and to verify it, otherwise you won’t be eligible for this particular bonus.
Casino players are probably already used to some harsher wagering requirements for their bonuses, but those sports betting fans are a little spoiled. And boy, does 22Bet welcome bonus spoil us.
The wagering requirement of five times rollover on accumulator bets is really honourable, but do mind the 7-day deadline.
As a registered Kenyan company, 22Bet is in practically obligated to offer the domestic payment methods, and they do not disappoint. Apart from the major e-wallets and bank cards, you can use M-Pesa, and we will explain that in detail.
But generally speaking, this is the proper way to replenish your account.
These are some of the more popular payment systems in Kenya. They will all allow you to get the money in your account with no commission.
| Mode | Minimum deposit amount |
| M-Pesa Kenya | 100 KES |
| Visa | 250 KES |
| Mastercard | 250 KES |
| Skrill | 125 KES |
| AstroPay | 225 KES |
| Perfect Money | 225 KES |
| Neteller | 200 KES |
| Payeer | 125 KES |
| Bitcoin | 125 KES (0.05 mBTC) |
| Ethereum | 150 KES |
| Litecoin | 125 KES (12 mLTC) |
Like we said, there are absolutely no complications when using M-Pesa via 22Bet app. In fact, Kenyan bettors will find that this is probably the most elegant way of investing some real money.
While there are more than 30 cryptocurrencies accepted by 22Bet, we strongly advise against making your first deposit with crypto. Or, in fact, doing so on a Friday.
They will work, don’t worry, but you will feel shortchanged because you won’t receive the bonus or freebet money.
One of the prerequisites to withdraw your winnings is to verify your account. You start this by entering all your personal information in your account menu, and also by sending photos of the documents to security department’s email address.
Once you’ve done this (and you only have to do it once), you can send some money into your M-Pesa or bank account.
The best thing is that withdrawing from 22Bet is really fast, and it usually won’t take more than 15 minutes.
Here are the most popular modes.
| Mode | Minimum withdraw amount |
| M-Pesa Kenya | 125 KES |
| Skrill | 225 KES |
| AstroPay | 650 KES |
| Perfect Money | 245 KES |
| Much better | 250 KES |
| Neteller | 650 KES |
| SticPay | 225 KES |
| Payeer | 225 KES |
| Bitcoin | 650 KES |
| Litecoin | 250 KES |
We cannot stress enough how important a good customer support is, and we really appreciate bookies that like to keep their customers happy.
22Bet doesn’t disappoint here either, with a dedicated email address for Kenyan players, but also some other options that involve getting personalized attention.
| Type of customer support | Contact |

This up-and-coming but already widely trusted company has actually arrived in Kenya in full throttle. They have obtained all the certifications by the Kenyan domestic laws, and players can be certain that their money is safe.
Yes. You will only need to visit the mobile or desktop site in order to get the link for the Android or iOS app. From then on, you will be able to enjoy everything 22Bet has prepared from your phone.
We’ve stumbled upon some really good casino mobile websites, but 22Bet isn’t actually one of them. It is, shall we say, too basic, so you’d definitely be better off with the app. They really provide, as their ad says, a whole world of betting in your pocket.
Yes. Even if you’re not that crazy about sports (though you should really check out the breath-taking sportsbook), you will find that 22Bet app answers all your needs. There are many game providers with most popular games and slots, and even live casino games you can hop in 24/7.
When you install the Android app of 22Bet for the first time, verify that you are using the official website, and don’t download the app from any mirror websites or shady links. This way, you will be notified whenever there’s a new build. iPhone users won’t have to worry, as their app will update automatically.
Find the download link on the dedicated mobile applications page of the official 22Bet.co.ke website. There’s even a short video guide, but you can also check out our simple instructions. You should be running Android 5.0 or later, which means that most of the devices from the past decade or so should have no problems running it.
Finally, a question that has a straightforward and a rather sweet answer. Just go to AppStore Kenya, as it will be there. In this article, we’ve provided some more info about app developer, so that you can validate you’ve got the right one. It also has some nice reviews, so you cannot go wrong with 22Bet.ipa.
Yes, and as soon as you install it, you’ll be able to watch live streams, check out the sports book or even try some slots in demo mode. Of course, it’s only when you play with real money that you will be able to win some real money.
No. You will need to provide your mobile phone number, as it is the only way to register. Later on you may add your email, if you want to receive promotional offers this way. Also, don’t forget to verify your account.
Yes. This being the Kenyan company and obeying Kenyan laws, they have realized the potential of M-Pesa, which is used by more than 20 million people across Africa. In addition to replenishing your account, you may also withdraw from 22Bet to MPESA – it will be on the very top of available withdrawal options.
Yes, and it’s a really simple and fair one. Just don’t make a rookie mistake by not accepting it – you need to do this while signing up. There are separate bonuses for sports and casino, and you can choose only one of them. So ask yourself what is it that you want from the betting app and act accordingly.
Yes, but if you want our free advice (just kidding, everything we advise is completely free), don’t use them to top up the account for the first time. None of the cryptocurrencies will grant you a deposit bonus, but after you’ve wagered a welcome package, you may proceed with crypto with no worries.
Yes. In fact, we might even call it great. They have a Kenyan phone number working 24/7, and they respond to emails and live chats (only in English, and not Swahili, though), in a matter of seconds. So, kudos to 22Bet and their customer care.
