Premier Bet is not operating a working betting site in Kenya. When we checked on 28 October 2026, premierbet.co.ke resolved but refused connections, and we found no Kenyan licence, relaunch or news coverage of the brand since 2019. Premier Bet still trades in other African countries, but that does not make it available to Kenyan players. Do not deposit with any site or paybill using the Premier Bet name in Kenya.
BetTips.co.ke is an independent betting information site. Below is what we know about Premier Bet's Kenyan history and practical answers to the questions people still search for.
Premier Bet in Kenya: a short history
| When | Event |
|---|---|
| January 2016 | EDITEC opened the first Premier Bet retail outlet in Nairobi, in the Kawangware area |
| July 2019 | Premierbet was among 27 betting firms whose paybills and shortcodes the government ordered telecoms to shut during the licence renewal crackdown |
| 2020 to 2026 | No Kenyan licence, relaunch or official site activity found |
| October 2026 | premierbet.co.ke refuses connections |
Is Premier Bet legit in Kenya?
Premier Bet was a real operator that opened in Kenya in 2016. The question today is different: is there a licensed Premier Bet you can use? We found none. Kenya's regulator is now the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA), which the Gambling Control Act, 2025 created to replace the BCLB, and any bookmaker serving Kenyans online needs a current Kenyan licence. A site that refuses connections cannot show one. Our licensed betting sites page explains how to check any operator.
Premier Bet searches answered
Premier Bet app and APK
We found no Premier Bet app for Kenya. APK files labelled "Premier Bet app download" are either for another country's platform or of unknown origin. Installing them risks fake login screens and apps that read your SMS. Use a licensed bookmaker's app linked from its own site instead; see betting apps in Kenya.
Premier Bet paybill and deposits
Premier Bet's Kenyan paybill was among those ordered shut in 2019. Do not pay into any number described as the Premier Bet paybill. If you already did, note the M-Pesa transaction code and the business name, and contact Safaricom quickly about a reversal. Our M-Pesa betting sites guide explains how to check a paybill before paying.
Premier Bet registration and withdrawal
New accounts cannot be opened without a working site, and there is no withdrawal screen to use. Sign-up pages that use the Premier Bet name in Kenya should be treated as clones.
Premier Bet bonus, free bet and promo code
No Premier Bet bonus, free bet or promo code is available to Kenyan players. Offers you see are for other markets or are fake. Compare real offers from licensed bookmakers on our bonuses page.
Premier Bet Aviator, casino and virtuals
Premier Bet Aviator is the biggest of these searches. You cannot play Aviator, casino games or virtual sports on a Premier Bet account in Kenya. If you want to play Aviator legally, choose a licensed bookmaker, set a budget and ignore anyone selling predictions or signals; our Aviator in Kenya guide covers how the game works.
Premier Bet live scores and customer care
Premier Bet live score searches usually come from people following matches; any licensed bookmaker's live section or a sports news site shows scores. There is no working Premier Bet customer care in Kenya that we could find, so be wary of numbers posted on social media.
Kenyan-licensed picks to use instead
Kenya has plenty of licensed bookmakers covering what Premier Bet once offered: sports, live betting, jackpots and casino games, all funded through M-Pesa. Our full ranking is on the best betting sites page; here is a shortlist.

Premier Bet: our conclusion
Premier Bet's Kenyan chapter ran from its 2016 retail launch to the 2019 paybill shutdown, and nothing we found suggests it has returned. Treat any Premier Bet site, app, paybill or bonus aimed at Kenyans as unverified, and bet with a licensed operator instead. Betting is for adults 18+ only.
