1. Trustworthy and reliable
Only pick a football betting site that is either registered by the Betting Control and Licensing Board or an internationally recognised betting company such as those listed later below.
2. Betting bonus
Such is the massive competition among betting firms nowadays that they simply have to offer a top welcome bonus to seal the deal. Make sure you don’t miss out.
3. Football betting markets
Make sure that the betting site you choose has the widest range of possible odds markets for the teams, matches and leagues you love.
4. Betting features
It is not just about the odds. Always look to see whether a betting site has live betting options such as live odds, live statistics, live streaming and always – you want a fast functioning and smooth betting app.
5. Deposit methods and currencies
A betting site can not do much for you if they won’t let you deposit and withdraw funds the way you want.

The betting site and app are easy to find your way around, and their welcome bonus is one of the best you’ll find from any Kenyan betting site.
It is a great plus that they accept deposit methods in Kenya shillings and through M-Pesa and Airtel Money as shown by this review of 22bet. Definitely a must if you are looking to bet on football.

3. bet365: second to none for football odds
You would normally expect bet365 to be at the top of the list when it comes to football betting but let us explain ourselves.
If you are looking for odds and live streaming football games, then we have to hold our hands up – there is really no competition.
On top of that, the bet365 welcome bonus is the gift that keeps on giving. But in the Kenyan market, it is the added extras that let it slip up.
With bet365 you can not deposit in shillings or via M-Pesa and Airtel. If that doesn’t bother you then bet365 is a must for any football betting fan.
4. Betfair: football betting with a twist
Another internationally renowned betting site, Betfair are based out of the UK and have been a leading betting firm since blasting their way onto the market 20 years ago.
Betfair ticks all the boxes when it comes to a premium football betting site: top welcome bonus, great range and price of football odds, live betting, slick betting app and so it goes.
What sets Betfair apart is their betting exchange. If you are looking to lay odds against other players instead of against the bookmakers themselves, then the Betfair Betting Exchange is where you want to be.
5. 888sport: everything you need under one roof
Starting life off as an online casino, 888sport has made the transition to one of the best sports betting sites in the world.
They slip down our list because they don’t offer deposits in shillings or via M-Pesa or Airtel, but when it comes to quality and convenience, this is where it is at.
Football betting is one of their first stops and you won’t be disappointed with what is on offer, or how easy on the eye their betting app is.
