These Betting Rules apply to any bets placed on https://www.betway.co.ke. If you do not agree with these rules, you are not entitled to place a bet on https://www.betway.co.ke.
A bet can be broken down into two elements, the "Bet Amount" - how much you risk, and the "Potential Return" - your potential winnings including your Bet Amount.
- The maximum pay-out limit per customer for each sport will be set by the Company, and a lower maximum payout limit than the limit set out below may be applied at the sole discretion of the company. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure they are aware of each limit before the bet placement. In the event of an accumulator or multiple leg bet, the maximum pay-out will be applied according to the lowest limit. These payout limits are set out below:
- Single Bet: KSh 5,000,000
- Multi Bet: KSh 10,000,000
- Dead-Heats: When a Dead-Heat occurs winners are paid on a "split-stakes" basis. (e.g. if 2 horses dead-heat then half the stake is paid as a winner.)
- Palpable Error Rule: All odds, lines and handicaps are subject to fluctuation and become fixed only at the time of bet acceptance. Where a palpable error or system failure results in an incorrect price, line or handicap taken in a bet – the bet, or part of the bet if it is a multiple /parlay will be void. If the error is noticed in time the Company will make reasonable efforts to contact the customer to allow the choice of placing another bet at the correct odds/line/handicap.
- Bets on events that have started will be void unless it is a live-betting event.
- If any fixture/event is not played or postponed on its scheduled date for any reason, all events will stand for the following day. If after that time the fixture/event is not played then all events will be made void.
- If any match is abandoned due to injury, bad weather, crowd trouble etc. ("Abandonment") all bets that have already been settled up until the time of Abandonment will stand. For example: If a football match is abandoned in the second half, all bets involving the 1st half will stand. What’s more, if there has been a goal scored, the first goal scorer market will stand, but the last and any time goal scorer bets will be void.
- Multiple bets which combine different selections within the same event are not accepted where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other.
- The Company reserves the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet and to make ambiguous bets void.
- The Company reserves the right to cancel any bets from customers who place money on an event where they are in any way involved, as participants, referee, coach etc.
- For the purposes of the odd/even markets – zero goals/points counts as even, unless specified.
- Booking Points: We assign booking points for red and yellow cards and let you bet on how many points you think there will be over the course of a match. A yellow card earns 10 points and a red card earns 25 points.If a player receives 2 yellow cards and is consequently shown a red card, he receives a total of 35 booking points.
-
Collusion
- A number of bets may be treated as being one when a client places multiple copies of the same bet. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck. A number of bets that contain the same single selection may be treated as being one. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck. An example would be where 1 particular selection is repeatedly included in multiple bets involving other short-priced selections.
- Where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same (or very similar) selection(s) having been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate or individuals, the Company reserves the right to make bets void.
- If you have played in a professional capacity, or in tandem with other player(s) as part of a club, group, etc., or placed bets or wagers in a coordinated manner with other player(s) involving the same (or materially the same) selections; in this instance we further reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to restrict the total maximum pay out for the combined total of any such bets, to the equivalent of the maximum payout limits permitted for a single customer (as outlined in the Company’s general Terms and Conditions). Betway is for sole use on an individual basis and for personal entertainment only.

Policy Reviewed: July 2022
- Betway sets the maximum pay-out limit per customer for each sport at its own discretion. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure they are aware of each limit before the bet placement. In the event of an accumulator or multiple leg bet, the maximum pay-out will be applied according to the lowest limit.
- Dead-Heats: When a Dead-Heat occurs winners are paid on a “split-stakes” basis. (e.g. if 2 horses dead-heat than half the stake is paid as a winner.)
- Palpable Error Rule: All odds, lines and handicaps are subject to fluctuation and become fixed only at the time of bet acceptance. Where a palpable error or system failure results in an incorrect price, line or handicap taken in a bet – the bet, or part of the bet if it is a multiple /parlay will be void. If the error is noticed in time Betway will make reasonable efforts to contact the customer to allow the choice of placing another bet at the correct odds/line/handicap.
- Bets on events that have started will be void unless it is a live-betting event.
- If any fixture/event is not played or postponed on its scheduled date for any reason, all bets will stand for the following day. If after that time the fixture/event is not played then all bets will be made void. This rule stands for all sports except Tennis, Baseball (See below General Rule 6.) and Football tournament/non regular season matches (see Football Rules) Enhanced Multiples. If any of the events / matches are postponed or abandoned and are not played within 24 hours of scheduled Kick Off – The Enhanced Multiple will be void.
- If any Baseball game is postponed the above rule (General Rule 5.) does not stand and all stakes will be voided as soon as confirmation of postponement is received.
- The official result is final for settlement purposes except where specific rules state the contrary. The podium position in Motor Sport racing, the medal ceremony in athletics and any similar official ceremony or presentation in other sports are to be treated as the official result.
- If any Match is abandoned due to injury, bad weather, crowd trouble etc. all bets that have already been settled up until the time of abandonment will stand. For example: If a football match is abandoned in the second half, all bets involving the 1st half will stand. Furthermore, if there has been a goal scored, the first goal scorer market will stand, but the last and any time goal scorer bets will be void. For tennis: if a player retires injured in the 3rd set, all bets to win the 1st and 2nd sets will stand.
- Multiple bets which combine different selections within the same event are not accepted where the outcome of one affects or is affected by the other.
- Betway reserves the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet and to make ambiguous bets void. No bets will unreasonably be declared void.
- Betway reserves the right to cancel any bets from customers who place money on an event where they are in any way involved, as participants, referee, coach etc.
- For the purposes of the odd/even markets – zero goals/points counts as even, unless specified.
- Collusion
- A number of bets may be treated as being one when a client places multiple copies of the same bet. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck. A number of bets that contain the same single selection may be treated as being one. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck. An example would be where 1 particular selection is repeatedly included in Multiple bets involving other short-priced selections.
- Where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same (or very similar) selection(s) having been placed by or for the same individual or syndicate or individuals, Betway reserves the right to make bets void.
- The use of a “banker” selection or selections to get round online limits is not permitted. Betway reserves the right to void any bets when 1 single selection (“a banker”) is combined with other selections to circumvent Betway’s online betting limits. When this occurs all bets may be voided apart from the first bet struck.
- Betway is not responsible for any errors in regards to the announcing, publishing, times, results or venues displayed on this site, despite every effort being made to ensure their accuracy. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to check such information is accurate at the time of publication.
- Betway reserves the right to withhold payment and to declare bets on an event void if we have evidence that the following has occurred: (i) the integrity of the event has been called into question or (ii) matchrigging has taken place. Evidence may be based on the size, volumes or pattern of bets placed with Betway across any or all of our betting channels.
- Betway allows only one account per person. Any subsequent accounts opened under the same postcode/personal details/IP address that are found to be related to any existing account may be closed immediately and any bets will be voided at Betway's discretion. Betway reserves the right to reclaim any winnings attained by these means.
- Unless listed either in conjunction with the bet offer, or else in the Sport Specific rules, all bets should be considered valid for the result at the end of the "Regular Time" or "Full Time" only. "Regular Time" or "Full time" is defined as interpreted by the official rules published by the respective governing association. For example, in football, full time is stipulated to be 90 minutes including injury time, and in ice hockey it is stipulated as the 3 x 20 minute periods. Should the governing association decide to stipulate, before the start of the event, that the said event is to be played over a different duration, this will be treated as being the official rules for the event. Nonetheless, such occurrence is limited to the "regular" playing time and does not include any prolongation such as extra time or overtime, unless explicitly stated. It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of the length of the event before they place their bet.

Players should be aware that with regards to in-play betting, live transmissions may be delayed. This delay may vary from player to player based of factors such as network speed, connectivity and other external factors which are out of Betway’s control.

Asian Handicaps:
- An Asian handicap is a market where a handicap is applied to the match in order to make the odds more equal. The handicap price varies from Scratch, (0, also called Level Ball) up to any number of goals in order to balance the odds and give each of the two team’s comparatively comparable price. The handicap line increases from Scratch in ‘Quarter Goals’ or ‘Quarter Balls’, expressed as + or – 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2 etc. to reflect the expected dominance of one team over the other.
- The favourite in a match will have a minus handicap represented with a (-) symbol and will have to win by more goals than the handicap in order to be a winner. The underdog in the match will have a positive handicap represented with a (+) symbol which will be added to the final score.
- Whole ball and half ball handicaps: The handicap is applied to the final outcome of the match and the team with the most goals after the handicap has been applied will be the winner. If the number of goals for each team are level after the handicap has been applied, it will result in a push with the stake being returned.
- A split ball handicap is where the level of favouritism is between a half ball and a whole ball. The handicap is presented as 0 : 1/4. In this instance, your stake is being split equally between the whole ball and half ball handicaps.

- If the match is no longer playing at the venue advertised, your bet will still stand. Unless the venue has been changed to the opponent’s ground, in which case bets will be void. (In the case of international matches, if the venue remains in the same country bets will stand)
Winter Sports
- ‘Winter Sports’ encompasses: Alpine Skiing, Biathlon, Bobsleigh, Cross-Country Skiing, Freestyle Skiing, Luge, Nordic Combined, Skating, Skeleton, Ski Jumping, and Snowboarding.
- Outright betting: Any bets placed on any participants who do not end up competing for any reason will be losing bets. For outright markets, dead heat rules apply.
- Should an event be postponed, bets will stand only if the event takes place at the same venue within a seven day period, otherwise bets will be made void.
- However, in the case of World Championship and Olympics, bets will stand on that particular discipline irrespective of whether the time and date of the event are rescheduled. If the event is abandoned and does not take place, bets will be void.
- If the conditions of a specific event are changed from those originally listed by the official governing body then bets will be void, unless settlement of the bet is already determined.
- Altered official distance - for Cross-Country and Biathlon, bets will be void if the official listed distance is changed, but will stand if the actual course distance is changed.
- Fewer rounds or order of events - with the exception of Ski Jumping events, where results will stand for all markets providing one round is completed in full (including if the event/round is subject to a re-start, but excluding Winning Margin - see below rule).
- Specifically for In-Play Ski Jumping - if an event is abandoned during the 2nd round, meaning that 1st round results become the official event result, then any bets placed after the completion of the 1st round will be void.
- Bets are settled on the official results/rankings of the International Ski Federation (FIS), the International Skating Union (ISU), the International Biathlon Union (IBU), the Official Olympic Committee or any official body deemed to have such authority for competitions. However, in the event of a disqualification, the podium presentation will count as the ‘weigh-in’ and determine the settlement of bets.
- Settlement of Wagers - Statistics provided by the official score provider or the official website of the relevant competition or fixture will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement. In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
- If a meeting has two identical races taking place on separate days and the first race is cancelled, then bets struck on the first event will be settled on the results of the second race.
- Specifically for Nordic Combined betting, if the results of the provisional competition round are used for the start of the cross country race, all event bets are void.
- In head-to-head betting, both competitors must start or bets will be made void. Should a competitor start and withdraw, bets struck on this competitor will be deemed losers.
- 11. At least one of the competitors must finish the whole race/tournament for bets to stand.
- 12. Total Medals/Points - Competitor(s) must complete required minimum number of events for action.
- 13. Round / Jump / Run 1 Markets In-Play - If an event is abandoned prior to the completion of Round 1 then bets will be void, unless settlement of the bet is already determined.
- If an event re-starts during the 1st Round / Jump / Run, all bets placed on markets offered In-Play prior to the re-start will be void, unless settlement of the bet is already determined.
- Winning Margin - Bets will be settled on the winning intervals/ranges listed by the event's official governing body. If the conditions of a specific event are changed from those originally listed by the official governing body then bets will be void, e.g. shorter course distances / fewer rounds or jumps / order of events.
