Gone are the days when bookmakers used to rely solely on their betting shops to generate the bulk of their revenue, the introduction of the internet has opened more avenues for the betting industry as they have many options in terms of their betting service. Nowadays a bookmaker can have both physical shops and an online betting platform and there are several bookmakers which are entirely online bookmakers and this proves that the online market is really booming.

 

The Kenya betting sites have realised that online betting presents a real opportunity to make revenue and that is the reason why they are heavily investing in their online betting platforms by creating world class websites, mobile sites and mobile Apps, which allows punters to easily participate in their betting activities. Mobile Apps are becoming increasingly popular because in all honesty, betting wasn’t at all convenient since punters had to travel to a betting shop to place bets, with betting apps, people have the chance to bet at home and it is even more ideal if a punter enjoys in-play bets as they will be able to watch the match with their families and bet at the same time. 

This article aims to list the Kenyan bookmakers which offer Mobile Apps to their customers. It is important to note that not all bookmakers have Apps, the bookmakers which do not have Apps have mobile platforms which are optimized to work on small screen devices.

Below is a list of bookmakers who do not currently have Mobile Apps, we spoke to most of their customer service agents and they indicated that they are working on the Apps and they will be launched soon:
