Betyetu bookmaker review

We calculated the margin for Betyetu by analysing the odds they offer. We further ranked them in one of the following three categories:

From 1% to 5%: Good value

Over 5% to 7%: Average value

Over 7% to 10%: Poor value

Football

We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

Betyetu has an overall margin of 6.68% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section using odds from the English Premier League, the margin is at 6.51%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, has a margin of 6.20%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Ekstraklasa, the margin is at 7.35%.

See how the margin was calculated

Betyetu is one of the fast-rising bookmakers in Kenya. They branched out from Ghana, with the company’s headquarters in East Legon.

Range of Sports: Their sportsbook features a number of different options available for bettors to take advantage of. As at the time of writing, at least 12 different sports are on offer by them. They include football, american football, basketball, baseball, cricket, boxing, golf, handball, motor sports, rugby union, rugby league, volleyball and tennis. Truly, the above could be even better but when you consider they are a new bookie, one can describe it as ‘good enough’.

Asides the usual sporting options, they also have room for virtual and casino games for those who love to try their hands on that section. Betyetu offers virtual betting on horses, motor racing, greyhound racing, and football.

They equally boast an impressive casino with a couple of video pokers, blackjack games, and roulette games on ground for punters to take advantage of. Some of the popular games offered by Betyetu include American Roulette, European Roulette, Vegas Downtown Gold Series and Atlantic City Blackjack Gold Series.

However, there were no football jackpots and lucky number betting to spice things up on the website. Jackpots are becoming commonplace among Kenyan bookmakers and they must consider coming up with one or two as well.

There were no visible e-sports category or e-sports games at all found on the website. Most of the virtual and casino lovers usually have a thing for e-sports as well and it only makes sense for Betyetu to try and upgrade their sportsbook to cater for the e-sports lovers as well.

Range of Bets and Markets: We mentioned the need for a slight improvement regarding Betyetu’s sportsbook. In similar fashion, there is work to be done regarding the betting options they offer.

They have a special liking for football and tennis but other sports need to be worked on. Even for football, they have just about 100+ options per event and that can be tagged as ‘below par’ when compared to other bookmakers around.

We can commend the fact though that football did have some special options that aren’t so common amongst their competitors. Asides the regular options that you are used to, you get to see more exciting options like "Period winner (15 mins)" "Period goal betting (5 mins)," etc.

There is a lot of improvement to be made if they are to get close or on par with the standard that top bookmakers in Kenya have set for themselves when it comes to diversity in betting options.

Betting limits: Betting limits are on a good level and undoubtedly, they will be more than enough for most players out there. As it’s with most bookmakers, you should expect less popular markets to come with lower betting limits.

Live betting is one feature bookmakers cannot afford to do without at the moment. It’s no surprise most of the bookies in Kenya have the in-play betting option and Betyetu are not left out as well.

On closer look, we were left fairly impressed with this section of their website. We can commend them because they have provision for other sports asides football.

As at the time of this review, they also had 7 more sports available for betting inplay.

Taking football into account, they have a wide array of leagues covered and about 50+ of options to take advantage of in live betting which is decent enough to say the least. It doesn’t come as a surprise that other sports here don’t get as much focus as football and we can take a guess they’ll be looking to improve that in no time.

Their live betting section is generally easy to navigate through and the only things left to add there would be even more sports and options and a more detailed scoreboard to describe the ongoing event in it.
