Kenyan sportsbook (also trading as MichezoBet) citing a pre-reform BCLB licence, current GRA status unconfirmed
Visit Ajebet →Pros
- A functioning, live Kenyan sportsbook with standard betting features
- Named trading identity (MichezoBet) and cited BCLB licence number, unlike some fully anonymous micro-operators
Cons
- Cites a pre-reform BCLB licence; current Gambling Regulatory Authority status not independently confirmed
- Kenya's stricter post-2025/2026 regime (KES 100m capital, KES 200m bond) has already been shown to leave some legacy operators non-compliant
- No independent player reviews or complaint data found under either brand name
- No welcome bonus figure publicly verifiable
Our verdict
Ajebet - also trading as MichezoBet - cites a BCLB licence number, 0000586, on its own site, which is a real, checkable claim rather than nothing at all. But the regulatory ground has shifted under every Kenyan operator holding a BCLB-era licence: the Gambling Regulatory Authority now requires a minimum paid-up capital of KES 100 million and a KES 200 million security bond to hold a current licence, a bar that our research on other Kenyan brands this session has already shown some legacy operators failing to clear. We could not find Ajebet or MichezoBet named as a confirmed current GRA licensee anywhere we checked, and we did not have direct, live access to the GRA's own operator register in this pass to settle the question definitively. We are reporting that as an open gap, not a finding that the licence has lapsed - the honest position is that we do not know, and neither should you assume, without checking the GRA register yourself before depositing. On the practical side, Ajebet offers a standard Kenyan sportsbook product via M-Pesa, but we found no independent player reviews or complaint history under either brand name to weigh against the licensing question.
How we rated it
Sportsbook (36%)5.5
A functioning Kenyan sportsbook with standard betting features (50-selection betslip limit, KES 10 minimum stake), also trading under the name MichezoBet.
Trust & licensing (27%)5
The operator cites a BCLB licence, No 0000586, on its own page - but Kenya has replaced the BCLB with the Gambling Regulatory Authority under the Gambling Control Act 2025/2026, requiring operators to reapply under a much stricter regime (KES 100m minimum paid-up capital, KES 200m security bond). We could not find Ajebet or its MichezoBet trading name confirmed as a current GRA licensee in the trade coverage we checked, and did not directly query the live GRA register in this pass - an unresolved gap, not a finding of illegality.
Support & reliability (18%)5
No independent player-review or complaint data found under either the Ajebet or MichezoBet name - an information gap rather than a confirmed record either way.
Bonuses & value (18%)3
No welcome bonus figure could be found publicly verified anywhere after an exhaustive search.

About Ajebet
Ajebet is a Kenyan sportsbook that also trades under the name MichezoBet, citing a Betting Control and Licensing Board licence, BCLB No 0000586, on its own FAQ page. That citation needs context: Kenya has replaced the BCLB with a new Gambling Regulatory Authority under the Gambling Control Act 2025/2026, requiring operators to reapply under a materially stricter regime that includes a minimum paid-up capital of KES 100 million and a KES 200 million security bond or bank guarantee - thresholds that have already pushed some smaller legacy operators out of current compliance in our research on other Kenyan brands this session. We could not find Ajebet or MichezoBet confirmed as a current GRA licensee in the trade coverage checked, and did not directly query the GRA's live operator register in this pass, so current licensing status remains unconfirmed rather than disproven. Payments run through M-Pesa (Paybill 555599), with a KES 10 minimum stake and up to 50 selections per betslip. No independent player reviews or complaints were found under either brand name.
