Bigpesa

Unfortunately, we do not recommend Bigpesa to our fans as Bigpesa is in constant litigation over payment of winning bets to punters.

Bigpesa is a well-designed and user-friendly betting site and casino that offers a wide range of gaming options. The site’s layout is clean and simple, making it easy to find the desired games and place bets. The homepage features the latest promotions and popular games, while the menu bar provides easy access to all the site’s features. The site also offers a mobile app for players who prefer to bet on the go.

Bigpesa at a glance

Bigpesa is owned and operated by Incentive Games LTD, a company registered in Kenya. The site is licensed and regulated by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), under registration licence number 0000140. This ensures punters that it operates within the legal framework for online gambling in Kenya.

Casino Options

Bigpesa offers a wide range of casino games, including popular classics like blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker. They also have a great selection of slot games, featuring titles from some of the top software providers in the industry. The site’s live casino section is particularly impressive, with high-quality streams and professional dealers.

Payment options

Bigpesa supports a variety of payment methods, including credit/debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and mobile payments. Deposits are processed instantly, while withdrawals may take a few days to complete depending on the method you choose. M-pes and Airtel are the most commonly used in Kenya and from what users say, their service is not the best

Customer service

Bigpesa has a live chatbot that players can use to get in contact with the big pesa team. The response time is also decent and there are no delays.

The registration process is simplified enough to take as little time as possible. You get registered just by inputting your number on the prompt provided and choosing a password. Also a player can get registered by calling the number provided on the prompt at the website. It doesn’t get easier than this.(image)

The bookie has a great  following on Facebook which is a good indication on how it engages with its players. As evidenced by the timely replies and comments on Facebook, it’s clear that the bookie customer support is strong.

BigPesa platform

Bigpesa has simplified its site such that you could search for the league and sport of your choice alphabetically on the menu. Also, the bookie has provided quick links for users to some of the popular products on offer such as, bonuses and favourite team fixtures.

On its menu at the home page, players and gamers will come across live games, virtual sports, casino and live casino among others. The sportsbook has also given its players the freedom of accepting or denying odds change while placing bets.

Under the virtual games, players have several options to choose from and place bets such as virtual dog races, virtual world cup among other games.

Verdict

I am inclined to give this bookie 4 stars. Too many matches for the jackpot prize. Also the cap on winnings is likely to discourage players.
