Helabet Sportsbook Review

Review last updated on January 30, 2023

Helabet Sportsbook is an online bookmaker based in Kenya and has been one of the leading online sports gambling platforms in the region. The site is named after the Swahili word for money (Hela) and has amassed a network of dedicated members over the years. The site was launched in 2015 and it is owned and operated by Cheza Gambling Limited, holding a license from the Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya. 

Helabet Sportsbook puts the customer first and is designed around providing an enjoyable betting experience. For example, there is no need to download any software to make a bet, as the site is entirely available directly in the browser. This alone makes it a lot more accessible to players that are not the most technology-savvy, or, those that play on mobile. 

At Helabet, punters will enjoy all that modern betting offers: a wide range of markets on any sport, secure and fast payments, quick withdrawals, a special reward program for loyal customers, and much more.

Banking

The site does not have a lot of banking methods available, which might be a drawback for some punters. The offered methods include local online deposits by M-Pesa, DusuPay, Helabet Vouchers, and, a more familiar method in AstroPay.

The site makes it easy to make a deposit and adds an additional layer of security and encryption. There are minimum deposit amounts but no fees charged by the bookmaker on transactions.

Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours, but it can take additional time, depending on the method.

As mentioned before, there is a mobile version of the site that can be accessed from virtually all modern smartphones and tablet devices. The mobile version is just as good as the desktop, but a lot of punters prefer the freedom that mobile betting gives them. If your device runs iOS, Android or Windows, you'll be able to access Helabet mobile sportsbook. 

VIP & Bonuses

Punters have a lot of options when it comes to receiving promotional offers by Helabet. For one, new members will enjoy the first deposit bonus that aims to provide some extra cash to get things started. There are special bonuses, including Accumulator of the Day, Rebate bonuses, and more. 

When opting in for a bonus offer, it is important that you thoroughly read through the terms and conditions so you know what you're getting yourself into. 

Security & Fairplay

The site is protected by the latest in cybersecurity technology to ensure a safe experience for all its members. The fact that the site is licensed and regulated by the Betting Control and Licensing Board of Kenya, should be enough to help punters sleep easy, but there are also numerous levels of encryption that protect all communications so your information will not be shared with any third-parties or spying eyes.
