Once you decide to get into betting, the next step is
opening a betting account. If you want to try betting with a high street
betting shop, you simply need to walk into that shop and request for account
opening details. But if you want to open an account with an online betting
company, you will need to do some research, choose the most reputable company
and then sign up (register) with the company.
Sign Up
Most online betting companies have a sign up/registration
page. On such pages, the registration steps are usually straightforward and
easy to follow. So once you pick your preferred bookmaker, go to the company’s
registration page and then click on “Register” or “Sign Up” depending on the
term used. Enter all the required details and then click “Ok” or “Register”,
whichever term has been used. A link will be sent to your email account which
you can follow to confirm your registration. Some sites will require you to
confirm your registration using your mobile phone and a confirmation code will
be sent to your phone. Respond accordingly to have your account activated.
Registration is quick and easy
At most online betting sites, registration is quite simple
and quick. You will be able to complete registration in a few minutes. During
the registration, you will typically be presented with a form in which you need
to fill with your basic information. Complete the form out and you will be
done. Once your account is set up, you can navigate into the account and set up
a few necessary things, such as your payment and withdrawal options. After
this, you can deposit money into the account and start betting.
Almost all betting companies in Kenya accept mobile money
transfer, such as M-PESA, Airtel Money etc. But some will accept e-wallets,
cards and bank deposits. Use your preferred method to deposit money in your
account. Take note of the charges so you have enough money to cover your
bankroll and the charges. You can also take advantage of the welcome bonuses
offered by many online betting websites during sign up.
Registering with many bookmakers is advisable
Remember not to limit yourself to just a single bookmaker.
If you want to have access to a wide range of sports, matches and odds then
opening accounts with many different bookmakers can help. Different bookmakers
also mean you can access special promotions, various bonuses, a wide range of
markets and high-value odds. Most importantly, though, you should go for a
bookmaker that gives you enough convenience when withdrawing and depositing
money. You don’t want to wait far too long to withdraw what you have won or to
struggle to deposit money in time for a match you want to bet on. Likewise, you
should register with a bookmaker that guarantees the safety of your personal
information. You don’t want thieves and fraudsters to have access to your
personal identification details or details of your bank accounts. Go for
reputation and convenience.
