It is now emerging that OdiBets, the new kid on the flourishing sports betting block, could be linked to former President Mwai Kibaki’s son, Jimmy.
OdiBets has caused a sensation after signing a Ksh 60 million three-year shirt sponsorship deal with Premier League side, Mathare United, saving it from its financial woes.
Under the deal, the gaming firm will provide the team with game kits, training kits as well as pay the players’ salaries and bonuses as well as those of members of the technical bench. In return the gaming firm will have their brand emblazoned on the team’s kits.
At the signing ceremony, OdiBets was represented by Communications Manager Dedan Mungai, who said that one of the key components of the deal is the development of grassroots football activities at the club and in the country as a whole.
This bet thing is the worst thing that Kenya has embraced. It will slowly kill our productivity . It is a reflection of the society we now live in where people want easy success.
