On May 16, 2020, the German Bundesliga resumed, bringing live football action back to fans after a two-month hiatus.
As the first major European League to resume following the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, the Bundesliga's return has been met with excitement among punters, who were previously limited to virtual gaming.
Odibets, a leading betting site in Kenya, has taken advantage of the renewed betting interest by launching an all-new user-friendly website for punters.
According to Aggrey Sayi, Odibets Country marketing manager, the company decided to launch the new website in conjunction with the Bundesliga's return as a way of giving back to loyal punters who have stuck with them throughout.
"We have launched the new easy-to-use platform as a reward to our loyal punters," Sayi said. "The new website has interesting features that have made betting easy for the common mwananchi."
The revamped Odibets platform features a bet share function, allowing users to share their betslip with friends and easily access games and place bets on time.
Earlier this year, when the Coronavirus outbreak rendered the sporting scene dormant, Odibets was one of the first betting sites in the country to venture into virtual betting, which became a popular option among punters.
Virtual betting is a type of betting where customers can place bets on computer-generated games that mimic real matches with actual teams and players.
As part of the launch, new clients on the revamped website will receive a Sh20 bonus on their first bet on OdiLeague.
