A Kenyan sportsbook with a large first-deposit cashback bonus
Visit Wekelea →Wekelea 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 Wekelea welcome offer for players in Kenya. Bonus terms change and are set by Wekelea for each market — always confirm the live offer on its own site. See every licensed betting site in Kenya →

Our verdict
Wekelea's licensing checks out at the source that matters. Kenya's Gambling Regulatory Authority's own current operator register lists the domain www.wekelea.com under Gamepro Limited, licence BK 0001245, status Renewal. We matched this by the registered domain rather than the brand name, because the register's trading name is 'Gamepro' - not 'Wekelea' - which is exactly the kind of mismatch that could produce a false 'not found' if you only searched by brand. 'Renewal' status is worth understanding rather than treating as equivalent to a long fixed-term licence: it means the operator is in the current licensing process, a real but narrower assurance than a licence with years still to run. One loose end we are not going to paper over: a separate source cites a different, older-format licence number for the same brand, BK 0000579. We could not reconcile the two, and we would rather report the discrepancy than confidently quote whichever number sounded more authoritative. Ownership behind Gamepro Limited is not publicly disclosed - unremarkable by the standards of Kenya's betting market, where local coverage describes beneficial ownership as routinely opaque, but worth knowing rather than assuming a name we do not have.
How we rated it
Bonuses & value (18%)8.5
A real, large 200% first-deposit cashback bonus.
Sportsbook (36%)7
A sportsbook active in the Kenyan market. Operated by Gamepro Limited, confirmed directly on the GRA's own register.
Customer support (18%)7
No major documented complaint pattern found.
Trust & licensing (27%)6.8
Confirmed on Kenya's Gambling Regulatory Authority's own current register: operator Gamepro Limited, licence BK 0001245, status Renewal, domain www.wekelea.com matched directly. The registered trading name is 'Gamepro' rather than 'Wekelea', so we matched by domain rather than name alone. Held below a higher score because 'Renewal' status is a live process rather than a long fixed term, a separate source cites a different, older-format licence number (BK 0000579) that we could not reconcile, and beneficial ownership behind Gamepro Limited is not publicly disclosed.

About Wekelea
Wekelea is a Kenyan sportsbook whose licensing we could confirm directly: the Gambling Regulatory Authority's own current operator register lists Gamepro Limited, licence BK 0001245, status Renewal, at domain www.wekelea.com. The registered trading name is 'Gamepro' rather than 'Wekelea', so we matched on the domain rather than the brand name alone. A separate source cites a different, older-format licence number, BK 0000579, for the same brand - we report both rather than picking one. Beneficial ownership behind Gamepro Limited is not publicly disclosed, which local coverage describes as typical for Kenyan betting operators.
