On August 7, 2019, Betika, a leading Kenyan sports betting firm, introduced the 'Mabingwa' weekly jackpot, offering customers a chance to win big.
The Sh100 million jackpot is set to kick off this weekend, with games already available on the firm's website for customers to start playing.
Unlike most betting firms, which require at least Sh100 to place a single jackpot bet, Betika has lowered the bar to Sh49 on a 17-game jackpot with bonuses starting from 12 to 16 correct predictions.
Despite the government's crackdown on non-compliant firms, Betika remains fully operational, with some licenses revoked.
The launch comes just hours before the English Premier League kicks off, with Liverpool opening the season against Norwich City at Anfield on Friday night.
Other notable matches of the weekend include Bournemouth vs Sheffield United, Burnley vs Southampton, Crystal Palace vs Everton, Watford vs Brighton, and Spurs vs Aston Villa.
