DBbet

Introduction

What do you think the initials DBbet stand for? As the year 2025 was coming to an end, it was when I learnt that WR Bet stands for White Rabbit. But DB; this one is still a mystery. The company itself doesn’t spell it out anywhere, not on their website, not in their About section, and not even in the fine print of their Terms and Conditions.

The other tipsters we work with speculate it could mean Double Bet, others say Digital Betting, while a few claim it’s simply a catchy branding name that doesn’t stand for anything in particular. And to be fair, many modern betting platforms use stylized two-letter combinations purely for branding and memorability.

Whatever the case, the brand name DBbet has managed to carve its presence in the Kenyan market surprisingly fast helped, of course, by that trend we’re now seeing with newer betting sites: generous welcome bonuses, flashy offers, and smooth mobile interfaces all designed to entice quick sign-ups.

DBbet fits right into this new wave. The platform greets you with colourful promos, boosted odds, and casino banners that instantly make it feel like a modern, international sportsbook trying to position itself as an underdog among the already crowded Kenyan betting scene.

From the outside, you might assume it’s a fully local bookmaker but a closer look tells a slightly different story.

Licensing and Operations in Kenya

Digging deeper, you quickly realise that DBbet isn’t actually a homegrown Kenyan bookmaker. Despite the Kenyan look and feel  KES currency support, mobile-first design, and promos that speak directly to local punters, the operation behind it is international.

DBbet is run by Sport Tech N.V., a company registered in Curaçao, with an additional subsidiary in Cyprus handling some of the operational backend. That alone tells you something: it’s part of the new generation of global betting platforms trying to localize their experience for the Kenyan audience without being formally licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB).

This is important because many Kenyan bettors automatically assume that any platform accepting M-Pesa or showing Kenya-specific bonuses must be locally regulated. But DBbet, like several other offshore brands, operates under a Curaçao gaming license. That means it is legal in the sense of international online gambling, but it doesn’t fall under Kenyan regulatory protection.

First Impression

Still, that hasn’t stopped thousands of Kenyan users from signing up  especially because the site has polished features that many of the older bookmakers still haven’t caught up with. For example, the interface is smoother, the loading times are fast, and the site feels like something built in the last two years rather than in the early mobile-betting era.

DBbet as a brand is fairly new; most data points to the platform launching around 2019, and expanding aggressively into African markets between 2023 and 2025. Kenya appears to be one of its key focus countries, which explains why the site feels so tailored to local preferences, from payment methods to football markets.

Their homepage, for instance, immediately signals a modern, user-centric design. Bold banners showcase ongoing promotions, highlighted sports markets, and quick links to popular casino games. Everything feels streamlined for mobile users, which is no surprise Kenya’s betting market is overwhelmingly smartphone-driven. Even on desktop, the navigation is intuitive: sports, live betting, casino, virtual sports, and eSports are all easily accessible with minimal scrolling.

The black and pink color scheme and layout are also worth noting. DBbet uses a mix of dark and bright tones that make odds, bonus offers, and call-to-action buttons stand out clearly. There’s a sense of polish that suggests a team invested in UX/UI design, unlike some older platforms that still feel cluttered and dated.

Dbbet Registration and Login

The site offers multiple registration options including one-click, by phone, by e-mail, and via social networks or messengers. In the phone-based registration, you enter your phone number, select a currency ( Kenyan Shillings in our case), and receive a confirmation code via SMS. There is a field for a promo code if you have one. You then input your first name, surname, date of birth, permanent address, and choose a password. Registration confirms that you agree to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy and that you are of legal age.

If you’re feeling adventurous, their “one-click” registration is fun to experiment with. You click a button, and they’ll assign you a username and password.

After you’ve filled in your personal information, it’s time to choose the kind of welcome bonus you want. There are three options. The sports welcome bonus gives a 100% match on your first deposit up to about 15,000 KES, but it requires accumulator bets with minimum odds, making it better for experienced bettors. The casino welcome package is larger and spread across multiple deposits, offering up to around 225,000 KES plus 150 free spins, though it comes with a 35x wagering requirement and a short time to use it. If you prefer, you can also reject the bonus entirely and play without restrictions.

Logging in is straightforward. You can use your phone number, email, or social media account, and there is an option for SMS-based one-time codes. Two-factor authentication is available for added security. Overall, DBbet makes registration and login simple and flexible, with clear bonus choices, though high wagering requirements and short time limits may not suit casual players.

Promotions

This is where it gets interesting. We’ve seen that on the registration page, you’re asked to make a choice between getting the sports welcome bonus, the casino welcome package, or rejecting the bonus altogether. Unlike some other sites that let you stack bonuses or switch between offers later, DBbet requires you to pick one option at the start. This means you need to decide whether you want the 100% first deposit sports bonus, the multi-deposit casino package with free spins, or no bonus at all. Once you’ve made your choice, it’s locked in for that account, so it’s worth considering your preferred type of play carefully. 

The sports bonus is straightforward but requires accumulator bets.

The casino package is larger and more varied but comes with multiple wagering conditions, and opting out gives you full flexibility without restrictions. 

It’s a simple system, but the requirement to choose one path makes the decision feel more meaningful than just a promotional add-on.

Payment Methods

On their website, DBbet lists a very wide range of payment methods , actually a total of 57, broken down into several categories: e-wallets, mobile payments, payment systems, and a large number of cryptocurrencies. 

E-wallets include Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, Sticpay, Jetonbank, ecoPayz, and MoneyGO USD. Mobile payments include Airtel, M-Pesa, and Mpesa Fast. 

Neteller, and cryptocurrencies are very broad, including Tether on multiple chains, TRON, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, BSC, Dogecoin, XRP, Solana, Monero, Dash, Cardano, and more. 

For someone in Kenya who is very comfortable with M-Pesa, DBbet does offer M-Pesa, including a “Mpesa Fast” option.  The M-Pesa Fast is best as you just need to enter the amount you’d like to depoist and you’ll get an M-Pesa prompt. 

According to DBbet’s Kenyan terms, the minimum deposit via M-Pesa is 150 KES. Withdrawals to M-Pesa are also possible. DBbet also supports Airtel Money.

Betting Options

DBbet presents itself as an all-in-one online gambling platform, combining a sportsbook, casino, e-sports betting, and live-dealer games. At first glance, the scope of its offering is compelling: a single site covering pre-match and in-play sports betting, a broad casino library, e-sports markets, and a live casino section. This is what it has to offer:

Sports

It looks like DBbet covers more than 50 sports, including global favorites such as football, tennis, and basketball, as well as niche or regional ones like table tennis, Australian football, and water polo. The platform supports live betting, allowing users to place bets while matches unfold, with real-time odds updates. 

From a usability standpoint, I’m sure some of us find the interface a bit cluttered due to the breadth of markets and features, and newcomers could be overwhelmed by the number of options. 

Casino

DBbet’s casino segment appears to be well-stocked, with a mix of classic video slots and modern, feature-rich titles. While the platform doesn’t clearly list all software providers, the size of the library suggests they work with multiple providers or have a strong catalog.  Of course our favorite crash game Aviator is there too.DBbet lists classic live-dealer games including baccarat, roulette, poker, Sic Bo, and Megawheel. The live casino is run by experienced dealers and streamed in real time, giving a real-casino feel. There are VIP and higher-stakes tables, accommodating both casual and higher-roller players, and users can interact with dealers via chat. 

E-sports

The bookmaker offers betting on major e-sports titles like CS 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, and PUBG, covering both region-based tournaments and major international events. Odds are updated in real time, which is essential for e-sports, where momentum can shift quickly. 

Mobile App

At the time of this review, late November 2025, they didn’t have an app. 

DBBet, as a betting platform, currently offers no reliable, verifiable native mobile app. Despite some claims from third-party reviewers and regional sites suggesting the existence of an app, there is no listing of the same on their website. The iOS “app” that is suggested is often just a web app shortcut.
