On October 25, 2019, the Kenyan betting industry was abuzz with news that Odibets had been crowned the fastest betting site by GTMetrix for the second year running.
According to GTMetrix, Odibets' speed and efficiency have earned it this prestigious title, a testament to the company's commitment to providing a seamless betting experience for its customers.
But what sets Odibets apart from its competitors? The company's Fair Pay Bonus System, which allows customers to withdraw their winnings without depositing a cent on the website, is a major draw for gamblers.
However, there's a catch - the free bet offered to new customers cannot be withdrawn. Instead, punters can only withdraw the amount they win from the free bet.
Despite this restriction, Odibets continues to offer a free bet every Monday to eligible customers. To qualify, punters must have placed at least five bets worth Sh 50 bob within the week.
As the government's 20% withholding tax on betting winnings takes effect, Odibets has introduced a 10% win boost to help its customers gain more from their wins.
But Odibets isn't the only company using creative tactics to lure in customers. Other betting firms, such as Betika, are sponsoring Kenyan football clubs and offering fantasy league rewards to attract new customers.
