What is OdiBets and who operates it in Kenya
OdiBets is a Kenyan sports betting and casino platform operated by Kareco Holdings Limited, licensed by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) (licence 0000116) under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, Cap 131, Laws of Kenya. Established in 2018, the company is headquartered at Plot No. LR 209/2167, Crescent Lane, Parklands, Nairobi.
