Kubeti Kenya (kubetikenya.com) is an independent information site about sports betting in Kenya. This page sets out our method: which sources we use, how we date and recheck our pages, what we refuse to do, and how we handle corrections.
Our sources, in order
- Official documents. For law, licences, tax and helplines we start with the regulator and the government: the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA, gra.go.ke) for the Gambling Control Act, 2025, the 2026 regulations, notices and the self-exclusion process; the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA, kra.go.ke) for tax on deposits and payouts.
- Published professional analysis. Where an official text is hard to find online, we use published analyses by recognised tax advisers, and we say so on the page, for example “according to KRA and published tax analyses”.
- Providers’ own pages. For M-Pesa we rely on Safaricom (safaricom.co.ke). We do not copy M-Pesa limits or charges, because they change; we point you to Safaricom’s own tables.
We do not treat forums, social media posts, tipsters, Telegram groups or unofficial operator lists as sources of fact. If something cannot be confirmed, we leave it out or say plainly that it is not confirmed.
Maths you can check
Where a figure follows from simple maths, we show the working. For example, a 17-match jackpot with three possible results per match (home, draw, away) has 3^17 = 129,140,163 possible combinations. Examples with KSh amounts are marked as examples, and averages are described as averages, not as what will happen to you.
A date on every page
Every page shows the date of its last update. Before we publish or update a page, we recheck its facts against the sources above. Kenya’s betting rules changed in 2025 and again with the Finance Act, 2026, so the date tells you how current a page is.
Licences and betting companies
On 3 November 2026 the GRA published a notice listing 11 companies that hold online licences under the Gambling Control Act, 2025, for the 2026/2027 financial year. We use only that official list, never third-party lists. This is how we use it: we show the list as the GRA published it, with its date and a link to the source; a company being on the list is not a recommendation from us; and we do not write operator pages, comparisons or rankings. The GRA says the list will be updated periodically, so we check gra.go.ke every week and date every change.
What we never do
- No rankings presented as tests. No “best betting sites” scores dressed up as test results.
- No personal experience claims. We do not write “we placed this bet”, “we tested” or “we won”. We describe how betting works from published rules and official information.
- No tips, predictions or “sure” jackpot picks. No one can predict match results with certainty, and we do not pretend to.
- No promotion. We do not tell readers to open accounts, deposit or bet, and we do not present betting as income, investment or a way out of debt.
- No paid placements. No operator can pay for a mention, a link or a position on our pages.
Corrections
Seen a mistake or something out of date? Write to [email protected] with the page and what you think is wrong, and a source if you have one. We read every message. When a page is wrong, we fix it and change its update date. If the correction concerns something readers may rely on, such as a helpline or a tax rule, we note on the page what changed.
Betting is for adults aged 18 and over. Read about responsible gambling.
