Is CaptainsBet Licensed in Kenya?
CaptainsBet is operated by Optim Development B.V. (registration number 154511), registered at Abraham Mendez Chumaceiro Boulevard 03, Curaçao. The platform is licensed and regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) under Licence Number OGL/2024/225/0601. This is an international licence, not one issued by Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), currently transitioning into the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA). That means captains bet kenya doesn’t appear on Kenya’s official BCLB/GRA operator register, and any dispute is handled under international consumer terms rather than Kenyan regulatory oversight. It doesn’t stop you registering or playing, but it’s worth knowing before you deposit.

Top live casino games
Sport Betting Online
The sport betting online menu covers pre-match and live markets across dozens of competitions, with odds that update in real time once a match kicks off. Moneyline, handicaps, totals, and multi-selection accumulators are all standard here, alongside cash out for closing a bet before the final whistle.
| ⚽ Market Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Moneyline | A straight bet on which side wins, no handicap involved |
| Handicap | A virtual advantage or deficit applied to even out the odds |
| Totals (Over/Under) | Betting on whether the combined score lands above or below a set line |
| Accumulator | Multiple selections combined into one bet, all of which need to win |
| Live Betting | Odds that update in real time once the match is underway |
| Cash Out | Closing a bet before the event ends, to lock in a partial win or limit a loss |
Sport Betting Offers by Sport
Kenya’s betting culture runs deeper than football alone, and the sport betting offers on the platform reflect that. Here’s what stands out sport by sport.
| 🏆 Sport | Key Competitions | When Betting Peaks |
|---|---|---|
| Football | FKF Premier League, EPL, Champions League | Year-round |
| Rugby Sevens | HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, Safari Sevens | Each sevens leg, especially Kenya’s home round |
| Athletics | World Athletics Championships, Olympics | Major championship windows only |
| Cricket | International fixtures, T20 series | Ongoing, lower volume |
| Basketball | FIBA Africa competitions | Ongoing, lower volume |
Football
Football is the backbone of Kenyan betting, and it’s not close. The FKF Premier League, Harambee Stars fixtures, and the Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards derby draw heavy local interest, alongside the English Premier League and Champions League, which dominate Kenyan screens on any given weekend. Match result, total goals, and first goalscorer are the markets Kenyan bettors reach for most.
Rugby Sevens
Kenya’s national sevens side, nicknamed Shujaa, has built a real following on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, and that translates directly into betting interest. The Safari Sevens tournament in Nairobi is the domestic highlight, and international sevens legs pull in steady action whenever Kenya is on the pitch.
Athletics
Kenya’s distance-running legacy, decades of dominance in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and marathon, means athletics betting spikes hard around the Olympics and World Athletics Championships. It’s not a year-round market the way football is, but during those windows, few sports pull in more attention from Kenyan bettors.
Cricket and Basketball
Smaller than the big three, but with a dedicated following: international cricket fixtures and T20 series draw consistent interest, and basketball has grown alongside Kenya’s participation in FIBA Africa competitions.

Bonuses at CaptainsBet

Deposits and Withdrawals
Funding an account works the way most Kenyan bettors already expect: mobile money first, everything else second. M-Pesa and Airtel Money are the standard expectation for a platform serving Kenyan players, with instant deposits and a closed-loop withdrawal rule, meaning you cash out through the same method you deposited with. Exact limits, processing times, and any other supported methods are covered in full on the dedicated payments page.
| 💰 Aspect | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Currency | KES |
| Common deposit methods | M-Pesa, Airtel Money |
| Withdrawal rule | Same method used for deposit |
| Verification | Required before your first withdrawal |
Getting the App
Google Play doesn’t carry real-money betting apps in most regions, so the Android APK downloads directly from the official CaptainsBet site instead. For the full install walkthrough and the current version, see the dedicated captains bet app download latest version page.
| 📱 Device | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Android | APK download from the official CaptainsBet website |
| iPhone / iPad | No native app; use Safari and add the site to your home screen |
| Desktop | Full site access through any browser, no install needed |
Earn From Referring Other Bettors
If you run a football page, a Telegram group, or any audience that talks betting, you can earn commission by referring players. Programmes like this typically pay through Revenue Share, CPA, or a mix of both, with a dashboard to track clicks, registrations, and earnings as they come in. For the full breakdown of how it works, see the captainsbet partners page.
FAQ
Is CaptainsBet legal to use in Kenya?
Registering and playing isn’t illegal for the player. CaptainsBet operates under a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence rather than a Kenyan BCLB/GRA licence, so it doesn’t appear on Kenya’s official operator register, and disputes are handled under international terms rather than local regulatory oversight.
Does CaptainsBet accept M-Pesa?
M-Pesa and Airtel Money are the standard payment expectation for any platform serving Kenyan players. Check the payments page on the site directly for the exact methods and limits currently available on your account.
Do I need to pay tax on my winnings?
Tax treatment of betting winnings depends on your personal circumstances and the specific rules that apply to you. If you’re unsure, it’s worth checking with a tax professional or the Kenya Revenue Authority directly.
Can I bet on rugby and athletics, not just football?
Yes. Rugby sevens, athletics, cricket, and basketball are all covered alongside football, though football and rugby tend to have the deepest, most consistent market coverage.
Is there an iOS app?
There’s no app in the Apple App Store. iPhone users get the full site through Safari, and can add it to the home screen for quick access without an actual app install.
