02 Football and betting in Kenya
In Kenya, the Harambee Stars and the big Nairobi derby between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards (the Mashemeji derby) are the heart of local football.
But Kenyan bettors are above all Premier League fans: Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool matches are the most played, often late in the evening because of the time difference.
M-Pesa made mobile betting a daily habit in Kenya. Betting is regulated by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB): always check that the site you use is allowed in Kenya.
