About CaptainsBet

CaptainsBet isn’t one of those barebones bookies frozen in time. It started in 2024, and just a year later it’s already showing up in a number of African markets, including Kenya, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon. That quick expansion says a lot: the brand isn’t feeling its way, it’s leaping into the fray.

The Kenyan jurisdiction of the site is at captainsbet.com. The layout is simple, modern, and is not loaded with gratuitous fluff. The top menu has everything—sports, casino, live tables, virtuals, fast games, TV games, esports—and you don’t need to scroll forever to find where you want to be. The sportsbook area appears to be the hub of it, but the casino is not hidden as an afterthought. Both sections are front-loaded, and the color scheme ties everything together in a clean, slightly corporate look.

CaptainsBet’s foundation lies beyond Kenya, hence the website supports numerous languages—English, French, and Portuguese as main ones. English is prevalent for Kenyans, and the platform is as good on desktop as it is on mobile devices.

Registering & Verifying Account

Registering an account on CaptainsBet is simple. The registration form is divided into steps rather than being presented all at once. Step one: insert your Kenyan mobile number (+254) and create a password. Confirm it, click “Next.” The system then asks you for your name, country, and currency (KES). Next, enter your email address, date of birth, and, if you have a promo code, insert it. Finally, there is the phone verification. You input the code you receive via SMS, and that is it.

Compared to some of the older gambling operators that make you upload documents before you even get to see the cashier, CaptainsBet enables you to deposit instantly. The catch comes at withdrawal. Your profile has to be verified first before you can withdraw funds. That involves uploading a government ID and proof of ownership of the M-Pesa number you’re using.

Download and Install the App

Mobile betting is clearly where CaptainsBet expects most of its traffic. The Android APK is downloadable directly from the official site. Installation isn’t complicated: download the file, enable “install from unknown sources,” tap it, and it’s ready. The app itself is lightweight but mirrors the full site—sports, live betting, casino, slots, live dealers, all in the menu.
There isn’t an iOS app at this point. iPhone users stick to the mobile version in the browser, and the good news is that it doesn’t feel stripped down. The site adjusts to small screens, menus remain accessible, and odds update quickly even on patchy connections. For most Kenyan players, the lack of a native iOS app is a minor issue since the mobile site is stable.

Sports Betting Options

This is where CaptainsBet tries to stand shoulder to shoulder with the bigger international names. The sportsbook is laid out cleanly, with live events on the left, featured matches in the middle, and your bet slip on the right.

Football dominates the listings, and that’s no surprise. You’ll find fixtures from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, and a wide set of African competitions. Odds update live, and CaptainsBet’s Live TV window means you can watch select games while placing bets in real time.

Markets aren’t limited to simple win-draw-win bets. You can go into corners, cards, totals, over/under, both teams to score, first to score, exact scorelines, Asian handicaps, and plenty more. Tennis markets stretch into sets and games, basketball covers spreads and totals, and cricket fans get runs and wickets markets. Esports have their own corner with fixtures for Dota 2, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike 2.

Mobile Live Games & Virtuals

The casino side is a major selling point, with 6,400+ titles listed. Slots dominate, and providers are some of the biggest names in the industry: Pragmatic Play, Relax, Yggdrasil, Betsoft, Push Gaming, Belatra, and others. The sheer volume of titles means it’s easy to lose track of time browsing. Some of the most recognizable ones include:

• Sweet Bonanza
• Sun of Egypt 3
• Dog House Megaways
• Mayan Gold
• Big Bass Bonanza
• Hit Coins

For jackpot chasers, there are daily drops and longer progressive jackpots, while quick-fire “fast games” like Aviator sit under their own tab.

The live casino offers more than 400 live dealer tables. Blackjack is especially strong here, with over 200 variations. Roulette, baccarat, and poker are also present, streamed from studios run by Pragmatic Play, Ezugi, and Imagine Live. The interface lets you chat with dealers and other players, making the sessions more engaging.

Virtual sports are another layer—video-rendered football leagues, penalty shootouts, horse racing, greyhounds, and even cycling. Matches run every couple of minutes, meaning there’s always action if no live event is on.

Mobile Bonus Offerings

CaptainsBet Kenya runs a stacked promotions calendar. Unlike some sites where bonuses are one-off, this bookie spreads offers throughout the week. Here’s the breakdown:

• Welcome Bonus
  100% match on your first deposit, up to 15,000 KES. To activate it, you need to verify your email, deposit at least 100 KES, and then find the bonus in the “Offers” section. Wagering: 8x the deposit, minimum odds 1.5, slips of at least three selections, and everything needs to be settled within 7 days.
• Cleocatra Free Spins
  Every Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Deposits from 4,500 KES get you 30 spins, 7,500 KES nets 50 spins, and 15,000 KES unlocks 100 spins. Wagering is 5x the deposit, and you only get 24 hours before it expires.
• Weekly Reloads (Mon & Tue)
  Start of the week comes with a reload bonus of up to 100%. For deposits between 4,500 KES and 7,500 KES, you get 30%; between 7,500 KES and 15,000 KES, it’s 50%; and anything above 15,000 KES earns you 100%. Wagering is steep at 35x and must be done within 24 hours.
• Friday Deposit Bonus
  Simpler—deposit at least 1,000 KES on Friday and receive a fixed 100 KES bonus.
• Free Bet Bonus
  Active on Tuesdays and Fridays. Deposit 1,400 KES to 3,000 KES and you receive a 750 KES free bet. Higher tiers go up to a 7,500 KES free bet for deposits above 11,800 KES. These must be wagered 5x at minimum odds of 1.5 within 24 hours.

Banking on CaptainsBet Kenya

Banking is stripped down to M-Pesa only. That’s not an oversight; it’s by design. The platform has chosen to rely on the one method that all Kenyans trust and use daily. Deposits are instant—either through an STK push to your phone or a manual Paybill entry. Withdrawals are also routed back to M-Pesa, usually within minutes or hours, with terms allowing up to 24 hours.

The minimum deposit is 100 KES, and the minimum withdrawal is around the same. Monthly caps go up to the equivalent of $20,000, but realistically few players will touch that limit. CaptainsBet doesn’t charge fees; only the usual M-Pesa transaction costs apply.

Final Thoughts

CaptainsBet Kenya feels like a newcomer that knows where to aim. The sportsbook is packed with football and live odds, the casino is loaded with thousands of titles, and the bonus calendar keeps punters engaged nearly every day. On the downside, there’s only M-Pesa for payments, time limits on bonuses are strict, and there’s no iOS app yet. But as a package, it’s already solid after just one year in the market—and it’s clear CaptainsBet wants to grow its Kenyan user base fast.
