Championbet is one of the top online being platforms in Uganda. They have been around for quite some time now, and so far, they have gained quite a large number of users. This goes a long way in telling the level of service they offer. However, the site demands a lot of tweaks in terms of betting options to avail its users with choices. They are licensed by the Uganda National Gaming Board.

Odds — good

We calculated the margin for Championbet by analysing the odds they offer. We further ranked them in one of the following three categories:

Betting options — good

Championbet is one of the leading online betting platforms in Uganda. They have a large following of users, which could be attributed to their extensive sports selection and amazing casino games.

Range of Sports: As at the time of this review, the platform has over 15 sports available. This gives punters lots of choices, in terms of what sports to bet on.

The sports enlisted on the site includes the popular ones like football, basketball, tennis, cricket, boxing, volleyball, ice hockey and some not-so-popular like futsal, floorball, MMA and snooker.

The bookie also deserves a lot of credit for equipping the platform with a lot of casino games. We are talking about a plethora of casino games that would make for an exciting gaming experience. Over 20+ casino games were seen on the website and that is fair enough for punters to work with.

The virtual section on the other hand is also well organized. It features 3 major virtual games, which include soccer, greyhound races and lucky six.

Finally, the user interface is of top-notch quality. It's designed in such a way that gaming on the platform is a walk in the park.

Range of Bets and Markets: While it is quite commendable to have a wide range of sports to pick from, one aspect that punters don't take lightly is the number of betting options available.

Championbet, despite having a lot of sports in its sports selection, has quite an unimpressive number of betting options when we look at it in the grand scheme of things.

As at the time of this review, top sports like football have about 60 markets for most games around it. Football lovers can bet on popular options like "1st half corner range", "total corners", "highest scoring half", "correct score" and more.

Other sports listed on the platform have an insufficient number of betting options and needs to be looked into, before punters start porting to bookies with more options.

Betting limits: The amount of money that can be placed on each bet will cover the needs of most punters. Like in most bookies though, the limits are getting chopped when it comes to betting on lower leagues.

Live — normal

Live betting gives a refreshing and new perspective to online betting. Gone are those days when online betting was just about betting on live games, now punters' choices are broadened.

Many punters have gotten comfortable with the live betting feature because it is a fresh breath to the confusion that can sometimes come with pre-match.

As at the time of writing this review, Championbet makes provision for just two main sports on their live section which are football and tennis. The platform needs to do better by accommodating more sports on their live section to avail their users of more options to wager on.

Between the two sports offered on the live section, football is best covered as you may have expected. In total, football has about 40+ options while tennis has just half of them with about 20 options for live betting.

There is no live streaming option with Championbet but football fans can get a bird eye’s view of events through the graphics provided on the scoreboard of any game on live. That means you can follow games live with a 2d visual representation (depicted with dots) of what is actually happening on the pitch.
