Chezacash bookmaker review

We calculated the margin for Chezacash 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.

Chezacash has an overall margin of 7.24% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section using odds from the English Premier League, the margin is at 4.56%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, has a margin of 8.06%. Finally, by counting the Danish Superligaen, Belgian First Division and Polish Ekstraklasa, the margin is at 9.09%.

Chezacash is an up-and-coming online betting platform that is fast developing into something big in the Kenyan betting scene. Their growth in terms of user metrics could be attributed to their relatively good selection of sports and extensive bonus offers. Though there are a number of sites in Kenya with better and more robust sports selection, Chezacash have not done so bad themselves.

Range of Sports: As of the time of this review, there are just about 14 games featured on the sports section of the betting platform. These sports include football, basketball, cricket, ice hockey, volleyball, handball, darts and tennis to mention a few.

For football, they have a good selection of football leagues across different countries and continents.

Surprisingly, they boast a decent coverage regarding betting options for other sports as well. With their wide selection of sports, punters are not limited to a particular sport or league when looking for what to wager on.

However, the virtual games section of the platform is very disappointing. There are just two leagues to play and most of the times takes ages to finish loading.

Live casino is also non-existent on the platform. This missing factor will make the bookie lose a large chunk of punters who would have patronized them.

They have a jackpot category on their menu but upon clicking the section, it redirects back to the homepage. This is poor from them and something they must work on soon enough.

Finally, the user interface is very basic. The blue and white colour themes used gives it a somewhat dull overall outlook. On the flip side, the website is not difficult to navigate around.

Range of Bets and Markets: Nothing gets a punter excited as seeing a plethora of options to bet on. It makes them feel uncaged and gives them the thrill that having choices is known to elicit. This is why most bookies don't joke with options. They make sure their sites are packed with the right amount to satisfy the wide range of punters they have.

Chezacash is not particularly unaware of the perks of enlisting a wide array of options. A sneak peek at their options shows that they do know what they are doing. However, there is always room for improvement in that regard. 

It is also pleasing that the distribution of options across the different sports categories seems even and not one-sided. For example, most football events have about 100 options featured, while basketball and rugby events have like 80 and about 25 betting options respectively. This is quite commendable considering how most bookies are more invested in football than any other sport.

For punters who are keen on football, they can wager on interesting options like "multigoal", "last goalscorer", "handicap", "which team to score", "1st half - total 0.75" and more.

Furthermore, for punters who are more into basketball, there is a wide range of options to pick from too. Options like "highest-scoring quarter", "1st quarter - 1x2", "winning margin (incl. Overtime) are available for the hoops lovers.

Betting limits: The amount of money you can place on a bet should be enough for most. Although, like you’d expect from a bookmaker nowadays, the limits are getting chopped when it comes to betting on lower leagues, but that’s the case on the whole industry.

Live betting has become one welcome development that's come to be implemented by a large number of bookies. They have seen how much punters enjoy betting on live games, and they are left with no option other than to make it available on their platforms.

With live betting, punters can now use their knowledge from the view of the statistics of an ongoing match to wager on various options while keeping up with the game.

The in-play section of Chezacash is quite impressive. Punters can get in-depth statistics updates on the event, with the right parameters, to help them decide which option is best to bet on.

Also, it would be sufficing to add that the in-play games are not just limited to football events, but other sports too. They have six other sports available for betting including basketball, rugby, cricket, ice-hockey, volleyball and tennis.

In all fairness, other sports need to get better coverage regarding their options but they have done fairly well so far in this section.
