Visit Michezobet →Michezobet welcome bonus in Kenya
Context for Kenya: Kenyan offers in our data have proved unusually volatile - reviewing four brands in a row turned up one site reported down, one whose existence we could not verify at all, one reported not reachable, and one with two conflicting licence numbers. Treat any Kenyan bonus here as needing a check before you act on it. Kenya is also mid-transition: the Gambling Control Act 2025 (in force 26 August 2025) replaces the Betting Control and Licensing Board with a new Gambling Regulatory Authority, and all gambling advertising must be pre-approved by that authority. Gambling taxes have also changed repeatedly - excise now applies to deposits and a return to 20% withholding is proposed for 2026 - so treat any Kenyan offer, and its tax treatment, as liable to change.
Here is the current Michezobet welcome offer for players in Kenya. Bonus terms change and are set by Michezobet for each market — always confirm the live offer on its own site. See every licensed betting site in Kenya →
Pros
- Simple promo-code starter bonus, easy to claim
Cons
- Starter bonus of up to KES 20 is notably small
- Specific individual licensing details not independently itemised in source data — verify directly
- Ownership/parent-company structure not independently confirmed
- The Curacao credential recorded for this brand comes from the master/sub-licence system abolished on 1 January 2025 - check for a current direct licence on the Curacao Gaming Authority register
Our verdict
A correction to our own record first. This review rested on exactly one source, and that URL returns 404 - so it was never read, and the score above it had no evidence behind it. The address we held for the brand also failed. Checking the authority gives a proper answer. Kenya's Gambling Regulatory Authority lists Michezobet, operated by Michezobet Kenya Limited, under licence number 0001438, status Renewal, for the 2025/26 trading period. It is licensed and trading, and a dead link in our own data was never evidence about the operator. Regulation in Kenya changed in 2026: the Betting Control and Licensing Board was replaced by a new GAMBLING REGULATORY AUTHORITY under the Gambling Control Act 2025, and operators had to reapply under a regime with higher capital thresholds and a 30% Kenyan ownership requirement. This matters to players and not just to lawyers - a March 2026 audit found 14 of 52 actively promoted Kenyan platforms running on expired licences or none at all while still accepting M-Pesa deposits. Check the Authority's register rather than a licence badge in a site footer.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (27%)6
Specific individual licensing details not independently itemised in source data — disclosed transparently. Raised modestly because the licence is now confirmed at source: the operator appears on the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Kenya register for 2025/26 as Michezobet Kenya Limited (licence number 0001438). The uplift is small on purpose - a current licence means a regulator can be complained to, not that the product is good. Context on the licence rather than the operator: the Curacao credential recorded here comes from the master/sub-licence system abolished on 1 January 2025 under the LOK. That is a change in the jurisdiction, not a finding against this brand, so it does not move the score - but it does mean a "Curacao licensed" claim should be re-checked against the Curacao Gaming Authority register rather than taken from a footer.
Customer support (18%)6
No major documented complaint pattern found.
Sportsbook (36%)5.8
A Kenya-facing sportsbook operator.
Bonuses & value (18%)4.5
A modest starter bonus, up to only KES 20 -- notably small relative to other regional sportsbooks.

How we verified this
Michezobet appears on the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Kenya's licensed-operator register for the 2025/26 trading period as Michezobet, operated by Michezobet Kenya Limited, licence number 0001438, marked Renewal. Kenyan gambling regulation passed from the Betting Control and Licensing Board to the Authority under the Gambling Control Act 2025; that register is updated per trading period and is the place to confirm current status. Curacao note: the master/sub-licence system this brand's recorded credential came from was abolished on 1 January 2025 under the LOK, legacy sub-licences and orange seals have expired, and the Curacao Gaming Authority now licenses operators directly. We are not asserting this operator is unlicensed - many hold new direct licences - only that the credential we recorded is from a wound-up system and current status should be checked on the CGA register.

About Michezobet
Michezobet is a Kenyan sportsbook, and we can point you at the regulator: the Gambling Regulatory Authority lists it as Michezobet, operated by Michezobet Kenya Limited, licence number 0001438, status Renewal, for the 2025/26 trading period. A correction to our own record: this review previously rested on a single source that returns 404 - never read, so the score above it had no evidence behind it - and the address we held also failed. That dead link was our data error rather than a sign the operator had gone. Regulation in Kenya changed in 2026: the Betting Control and Licensing Board was replaced by a new GAMBLING REGULATORY AUTHORITY under the Gambling Control Act 2025, and operators had to reapply under a regime with higher capital thresholds and a 30% Kenyan ownership requirement. This matters to players and not just to lawyers - a March 2026 audit found 14 of 52 actively promoted Kenyan platforms running on expired licences or none at all while still accepting M-Pesa deposits.

Is a Curacao licence still worth anything after the 2025 reform?
The Curacao system this brand's licence came from no longer exists, and that is worth understanding before you read any 'Curacao licensed' claim. Curacao passed the National Ordinance on Games of Chance - the LOK - which came into force on 24 DECEMBER 2024 and replaced a framework dating from 1993. Under the old system a handful of master licence holders issued SUB-LICENCES to hundreds of operators, which is where numbers like 8048/JAZ and names like Antillephone come from. That master licence system was ABOLISHED ON 1 JANUARY 2025, the legacy sub-licences have expired, and the transitional 'orange seal' permissions expired permanently on 15 OCTOBER 2025. Since 1 January 2026 operators must also meet physical presence requirements on the island. Licences are now issued DIRECTLY by the Curacao Gaming Authority, whose register showed more than 330 active licences in early 2026 - and it is refusing a meaningful share of applicants, having approved 87 of roughly 140 direct applications by April 2026, a rejection rate near 38 percent. WHAT THIS DOES AND DOES NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SITE: it does NOT mean this operator is unlicensed. Many have moved to direct CGA licences. It means the specific credential we originally recorded belongs to a system that has been wound up, so if licensing matters to your decision, check the operator's current entry on the Curacao Gaming Authority register rather than trusting a sub-licence number in a website footer.
