About 888bet
888bet is the African consumer brand of 888AFRICA, a joint venture launched in March 2022 by 888 plc (LSE:888) — the parent group behind internationally recognised names including William Hill, Mr Green, and SI Sportsbook. The platform went live simultaneously in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia in October 2022, representing 888’s inaugural push into the African continent.
Drawing on over two decades of expertise spanning sports betting, online poker, and casino products, 888bet merges a proven global platform with locally adapted features. Within its first year of operation, the company achieved payment coverage across approximately 85% of mobile network operator channels in its launch markets — a notable localization milestone for a brand so recently established in the region.
Players based in Zambia enjoy the added benefit of 888Bet access through the 888bet platform, connecting them to one of the most reputable online sport betting & casinos games platform in the world — a feature not yet extended to the other three markets.
Games & Sports
Across all 4 African markets, 888bet provides sports betting, live wagering, virtual sports, and casino games — with Zambia uniquely offering full 888casino access on top of the standard lineup.
Sports Betting
The sportsbook spans football, basketball, tennis, and a range of other popular disciplines, with dedicated coverage of domestic leagues in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia alongside major international tournaments.
Casino & Jackpots
Slot machines and jackpot titles are offered across every market, while access to the full 888casino suite remains a Zambia-only feature. The Supa10 promotion invites players to call the outcomes of 10 matches to win from a shared prize pool — a format reminiscent of traditional World Cup jackpot competitions.
Aviator & Crash Games
888bet carries two crash game titles — Aviator and Spaceman — available to players in all four of its African markets. Both titles can be found via the dedicated Live Betting and Aviator tabs in the mobile site navigation.
The Aviator Cash Drop promotion offers additional rewards for crash game players and runs network-wide, sitting alongside other regular deals such as Multi Bonus and the 2-for-1 promotion.
Bonuses & Promotions
Sign-Up Offer by Country
First-time players at 888bet in all 4 markets receive welcome free bets upon completing registration. While the overall structure remains consistent across the 888AFRICA network, exact bonus amounts differ by country — visit the local 888bet site for up-to-date terms.
Supa10 & Regular Deals
Running during flagship tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup, Supa10 challenges players to correctly predict 10 match results to claim a portion of the prize fund — in Kenya, the prize pool has exceeded KSh 300,000. The platform also runs a recurring set of promotions including Multi Bonus, Bet Supercharge, the 2-for-1 deal, and the Golden Ticket offer, available with broadly consistent terms across all 4 markets.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Every transaction is processed in local currency. 888AFRICA has achieved coverage of more than 85% of mobile network operator payment methods across its 4 markets.
- Kenya — M-Pesa, Airtel Money
- Tanzania — M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money
- Mozambique — M-Pesa, Vodacom
- Zambia — MTN MoMo, Airtel Money
Mobile App & Experience
A mobile-optimised site is available in all 4 888bet markets. The Kenyan version stands apart with an orange and black colour scheme and burger-menu style navigation, while Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia share a unified design. Key sections — Sports, My Bets, Live Betting, and Aviator — are all reachable directly from the main navigation bar.
Licence & Safety
Through the 888AFRICA joint venture, 888bet holds regulatory authorisation in each of its 4 African markets — operating under the BCLB in Kenya, the GBT in Tanzania, and locally issued gaming licences in both Mozambique and Zambia. The platform is backed by 888 plc (LSE:888), a publicly listed gaming company with over 20 years of compliance experience worldwide. All transactions are protected by SSL encryption. Gambling is restricted to users aged 18 and above.
