On October 15, 2019, the Kenyan government cracked down on non-compliant betting companies, leading to the closure of some companies in the gaming industry. This move paved the way for recently licensed betting companies like Odibets to operate in the country.
Alex Odary, a father of two from Vihiga County in Western Kenya, is the latest winner on Odibets. He won a total of Ksh 890,400/= after duplicating his 11-team multibet with a stake of Ksh 49/=.
Odary expressed his joy upon receiving his winnings, saying, “This is the best day of my life, I normally bet on sms or online and today I have won. Thank you so much OdiBets.”
Speaking at the awarding of the winner’s cheque at the Nairobi Headquarters, OdiBets Country Marketing manager Aggrey Sayi noted that the company has introduced the “copy betslip” feature to better the customer experience. This feature allows customers to copy betslips of their already placed bets and to add or reduce matches then bet again.
Odary plans to use his winnings to set up a paint shop for himself and a salon for his wife, who stood by him during difficult times.
