Download & Install Odibets App for Android and iOS 2024

Odibets is fairly new to Kenyan market. It was launched in 2018 by Kareco Holdings Limited. The site is under license and regulation from the BLCB (Betting Control and Licensing Board) which is the Board in charge of regulating all betting, lottery and gaming activities in the country. It operates under license number 116. Odibets has a wide array of sports including football, which has the most markets, Ice Hockey, Basketball Tennis and Rugby among others. It is also famous for allowing punters to bet via SMS ensuring that everyone is catered for including those who do not have an internet connection.

Being a third world country, Odibets must have figure out that there are different kinds of people in Kenya, they therefore gave options for use of their site. They have the option to use the site on their laptops and desktop computers, or on their phones.

For punters using their phones, the site can be accessed in three ways:

• Using the site’s mobile version from a browser;
• Downloading the dedicated app to their mobile phones from the website and;
• Through their phones via SMS.

The mobile version of the site is optimized for a mobile screen. Odibets is a mobile-first site. This means that they paid focused more on its accessibility by mobile than the web version. This is clear to see as on the web version, the site does not occupy the entire screen unlike all the other bookmakers. The mobile site has the same features as the web version. It also features the same fast response time.

However, when it comes to ease of use, the Mobile App is king because of how convenient it is. First, punters can bet anywhere, the app takes up very little space. It can be as small as 2MB depending on the device one is using. This saves on storage and mobile data. It is also easy to use as it opens up instantly.

Just like the web version, the mobile App has some pretty amazing features. From the vibrant colors to the ability, some of the Apps best qualities include:

• A dark theme for when you need to protect your eyesight or you simply need a break from the vibrant colours;
• It has the same variety of sports and markets as the web version;
• It gives notifications of different kinds, for example, you will be notified when a game you had placed a bet on ends and whether you have won;
• The App consumes way less data than the mobile version or the desktop version;
• Downloading the app gives you a Kshs. 50 free bet bonus. This is on top of the Kshs. 30 deposit bonus that you get if you area first time user;
• The App loads at high-speed ensuring that the betting experience is smooth

The bet with SMS feature is a popular feature with punters all over the country. For some, this may be because they do not have phones with the required operating system requirements, maybe because they have older phones. For others, it may be because they do not always have stable internet or simply because they are not able to use the app or mobile browser versions. 

On Android, the application can be downloaded across a number of different brands and devices (including tablets). Mot Android users get all their Applications on Playstore but gambling apps have to downloaded elsewhere. Odibets have the option to download the app on their website which I think is a lot easier.

To download the app, simply follow the following steps:

• On your browser, open up the Odibets website;
• Scroll to the middle of the page, under the Popular Games section where you will see the Download App option. Click on the link;
• You will be prompted to accept the download. Click on accept to begin the download;
• Since the App is not from the Playstore, you may need to make some changes to your settings to allow an App from an ‘unknown source’ to be installed to your device. To do this, go to your phone’s Security settings feature and allow;
• Go back to the app and click install;
• Your app is ready to use and you can place bets on the go.

For iOS devices, the App is available for download at the iTunes App Store and the process is therefore more straightforward. The iOS version is bigger than the Android version as it is 10MB while the Android version is 2.8MB. this difference has no bearing on the quality or usability of the app. To download, follow these steps:

• Visit the iTunes App Store;
• In the Search Box, fill in Odibets;
• From the results, click on ‘download’;
• Confirm the download by providing whatever information is asked for and accept the terms and conditions;
• Once downloaded, proceed to install;
• Your app is ready to use.

Though the download requirements may be different, once you have the app installed the functionality is the same across the board.
