There is no doubt that the impact of covid-19 will be felt by all sports bettors in Kenya whether they are speculators or life-long enthusiasts of the game. Although some may feel that changes in the way that Kenyans do business has made them a less exciting proposition for betting, they would be wrong as there have been some positive changes in the past decade. The most notable of these being the introduction of fixed odds for betting on any sporting event irrespective of its location, time of day or competition. This means that there are no longer any ‘jumping off points’ where a bettor could lose money due to his or her choice of odds. On the contrary, irrespective of the venue or time of day, there are fixed odds that ensure that irrespective of the current state of play, the odds on a particular game will remain the same, which means that the risk associated with losing is zero.

This is a very welcome change indeed and it has already begun to change the nature of game betting in Kenya. There are more sportsbooks who are taking on an advisory role as they seek to understand the sport better and offer sportsbooks that offer sports betting opportunities for Kenyans as a lucrative business opportunity. As more foreign players become interested in placing bets on Kenyan events and then making a living out of them through sport betting, the quality of the coverage in the country will gradually improve. In addition to this, the impact of covid-19 on sport betting in Kenya is also set to increase as the government looks to promote the country as a tourist destination and thus encourage tourists to visit and experience the country.
