Published on July 26, 2019, the Kenyan government sought to curb the growing addiction epidemic in the country, with a focus on the betting industry. One of the measures proposed was the deregistration of betting firms that failed to comply with tax laws and other regulations.
Fortunately for gamblers, Betway, a reputable betting company, has been cleared by the Kenya Revenue Authority after complying with tax requirements. This news has brought relief to those who had given up on the Betway jackpot.
Registration Process ¶
To register for a Betway account, users can follow two primary methods: online registration or SMS registration. Online registration involves searching for Betway on a browser, navigating to the website, and clicking on the Sign Up option. Users must fill in the required details, including a mobile number registered with M-Pesa, and create their account.
Alternatively, users can download the Betway mobile app and register using the app. The process is similar to online registration, but users must begin by downloading the app first.
For those without access to the internet or who are not tech-savvy, SMS registration is an option. Users can register by sending a text message with the word 'Accept' to 29029. A confirmation message will be sent back with details of the newly created account.
Depositing and Withdrawing Money ¶
Users can deposit money into their Betway account by opening the M-Pesa menu, clicking on Lipa na M-Pesa, and selecting the Paybill option. They must enter 880185 as the Business Number, 'Betway' as the Account Number, and the amount they wish to deposit. A confirmation message will be sent once the transaction is successful.
Users can withdraw money from their account by logging in, clicking on 'Withdraw,' and selecting their mobile provider. They can then choose the amount they wish to withdraw.
Betway Jackpot Rules ¶
The Betway jackpot has five matches, and the prize money of KSH 237,500 can only be won by predicting all five games correctly. If there are multiple winners, they will share the prize money. Betway jackpot predictions are given to premium members.
Betway Prizes ¶
Betway jackpot prizes are fixed, but when there are multiple winners, they will share the prize money. The winning fund is KSH 237,500, and those who do not predict all five teams correctly will receive a consolation fund of KSH 47,500 for accurately predicting any four of the five games.
Betway Contacts ¶
Users can contact the customer care desk for any complaints or feedback regarding the services offered by Betway. The company has done its part to ensure compliance with government regulations, including tax compliance and ensuring that users are adults.
