Bongobongo at a glance
This bookie is one of the most recent online sport betting company to penetrate the kenyan market having been launched in March 2020. The booksmark is owned by Kensen Limited whose operations have been approved by BCLB under the licence number 0000155.

Payment options
Mpesa, the dominant payment provider, is the only approved mode of payment by the bookie. The process of depositing and withdrawal is simplified for its users as all the transactions can be processed without you leaving the website.

Once you input the amount to be deposited or withdrawn, a prompt will be relayed back to you to approve the payment and input your pin. Other mobile payment options such as Airtel money and debit cards can not be used to remit payments with this bookie.
Customer support
The bookie can be contacted by its players through the numbers provided at their site or via their email help@bongobongo.ke
The process of having to draft an email to have to reach them whenever you have enquiries seem to be a very tedious process. Participants are better off calling their numbers. This might sound like an easier alternative but considering the charges that may be levied by the network provider, it is a costly method.

The bookies social media presence is not very good as they have a very small following for a company of its stature. The company seriously needs to do some aggressive marketing to let the kenyan punters know of their presence. Though a fairly new betting platform, their presence needs to be felt on facebook and twitter since it’s common knowledge that is where the majority of the kenyan players prefer to interact.
Registration
The procedure to get registered on the platform is as easy as it gets. A new player only requires to input their number and password combo to get into the system and start playing.

The bongobongo platform
The bookies platform has to be one of the best ones I have been on. The products available are hard to miss because they are clearly outlined on the site. The bookie has its products listed on the home page of its site and they include jackpot, lucky 6, virtual sports and sports.

You can also get to view the promos on offer on clicking the promotions icon displayed along with the other products. Under the sports category, you will find different sports you can choose to wager on ranging from the most popular such as soccer to the least popular sports such as table tennis. You will also get a subcategory of live sports and the scheduled events under this main category. If you choose to wager on virtual sports, you have dozens of games to choose from. Some of the most popular ones include instant football and instant greyhounds(dog racing). Under the lucky 6 category, you get to pick numbers from 1-80 and stand a chance to win if the software randomly picks some or all of your numbers.
Promos and bonuses
The sportsbook has an entry promo dubbed ‘karibu bonus’ that matches your first stake of up to 500 kes once you place your initial bet.
The good
I find their entry offer very generous. New entrants will definitely not be dissapointed.
Their live sports section has wide markets with odds hard to resist. Live betters will definitely get hooked to this bookie. Next goal odds at 2.45 in a high scoring match at the 75th minute is definitely a bet I would put my money on!
The search filter option is quite cool. It will help you narrow down to the markets or odds of your choice without having to scroll endlessly for options.
The bad
Contacting the support desk is quite a task.
Betting limits
The minimum amount a punter can deposit and withdraw is 10 kes and 200 kes respectively. On the other hand the maximum amount you can deposit and withdraw is at the discretion of the payment provider, Mpesa. The amount currently allowed is capped at 70,000 kes.
Quality of odds.
The bookie has above average odds. 1.80/2.00 for over and under is quite attractive.
Mobile options
No app is available for this bookie yet.
Summary
You need value for money? Do you want great odds? Well, bongobongo has your back. The bookie arguably has the best odds of any bookie you will come across. Its odds rival those of sportpesa who are known to be among the best bookies in town, or should I say used to be.This coupled with the fact that you can browse their website for free will definitely have you hooked to this bookie. I promise you that.
Verdict
Bongobongo deserves to be awarded 4 stars. Navigation at the site is quite simplified and the odds are above average. The site could definitely do better though on the customer support end.

I’m Kanyi Muturi and am from Tabuga, a small village in Nakuru. I have been following all sports since I was a kid and have been interested in the gambling side of sports since I was in high school. It took me a little while to get a grasp on all of the different gambling terminology and understand how confusing and complicated it can all seem when you first start.
Are you a professional gambler?
I am a successful gambler. But make no mistake about it: I’m a long-time recreational sports bettor. I’m not a professional gambler. I’m not claiming to be a professional gambler. I’ve never, to my recollection, even been acquainted with a professional gambler. And far be it from me to make the preposterous claim that following my advice will turn you into a professional gambler. It ain’t about that. Not here it ain’t. I just want to teach you a new form of recreation, a fun new pastime in what can sometimes be an unfun life.
