Who you are betting with

The sportsbook and the casino share one balance, so money paid in for a football weekend can go into Aviator on Monday without a second transfer. Odds are published before kick-off and keep updating while the match runs.

The Android and iOS apps hold the same product as the browser version, cashier included, so a deposit started on a phone does not have to be finished on a computer. Support works in English through a translator, and the chat icon is the quickest way to it. Mobile app

Megapari opened on 7 August 2019. The operator is Vdsoft & Script Development SRL, a Costa Rican company carrying registration number 3-102-887249, and the permission to take bets was granted on the Autonomous Island of Anjouan in the Union of the Comoros, under its Betting and Gaming Act of 2005. That is the whole legal chain, and nothing in it is Kenyan.

The brand spends on sponsorship rather than on announcements. Clubs, tournaments and esports rosters carry the name, and creators who cover sport and gaming work with it in the markets where it operates. Kenya is one of those markets, which is why this site runs in English with shillings in the cashier rather than as a translated afterthought.

The name turns up in four places, and each deal works differently.

• Fighters: professional fighters carry the brand in front of a combat sports audience;
• Football clubs: sponsorship agreements in Europe and South America, with board advertising and joint events;
• Esports teams: deals with Dota 2 and Counter-Strike rosters, which is where the tournament coverage comes from;
• Creators: people who cover sport and gaming online and talk about the product in their own markets.

Football takes the most money on this market, and behind it come basketball, table tennis and esports. Everything below is open before the match and during it.

• Football: leagues, cups, qualifiers and the African competitions;
• Basketball: NBA, EuroLeague, FIBA tournaments;
• Table tennis: ITTF events and league play that runs overnight;
• Esports: FIFA, CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant;
• Tennis: Grand Slams, ATP and WTA;
• Volleyball: club leagues and national competitions;
• Boxing and MMA: UFC cards and title fights;
• Handball: European club competitions and world championships;
• Baseball: MLB regular season and postseason;
• Futsal, badminton, snooker and the rest of the list.

Slots, tables and crash games in one section, with live dealer rooms streamed alongside them.

• Slots: three-reel classics through to last month's video releases;
• Crash games: Aviator, JetX and Crash, the busiest corner here;
• Roulette: European, American and French, software and live;
• Blackjack: classic, multi-hand and Spanish 21;
• Baccarat: punto banco and live tables;
• Poker: Casino Hold'em, Caribbean Stud, video poker;
• Live casino: real dealers on camera from Evolution and Pragmatic Play;
• Table games: sic bo, craps and the older favourites;
• Jackpot slots: fixed pots and progressives such as Mega Moolah;
• Scratch cards and the rest of the instant games.

Vdsoft & Script Development SRL holds a gaming licence granted on the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, in the Union of the Comoros, under its Betting and Gaming Act of 2005. That is an international permission and not a Kenyan one. Game results come out of random number generators that independent laboratories test.

Personal data is encrypted in transit and where it is stored. The responsible gaming tools sit on the account itself: deposit limits, stake limits, a pause and self-exclusion, each taking effect when you set it rather than after somebody reviews it. Nobody under 18 is accepted, and the identity check before the first payout is what enforces that.

One desk handles account problems, payment delays and game faults. It works in English, and the replies pass through a translator. Six routes below, fastest at the top.
