All reviewsReview of the bookmaker Kingssportsbet from Legalbet
Kingssportbet, owned by Kings Investments Ltd, is one of the pioneer betting platforms in Uganda. Their longevity in the business has seen them amass a large following online and offline over the years. With the wide range of sports and betting options offered, one can't help but give them the credit they deserve. However, they need to put more effort in adding more promotional offers and building an app that would aid ease of betting for lost users. They are licensed by The Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board in Uganda with license number GB-28 for Betting and License Number GM-065 for Gaming Machines License.
Odds — good
We calculated the margin for Kingssportsbet by analysing the odds they offer. We further ranked them in one of the following three categories:
From 1% to 5%: Good value
Over 5% to 7%: Average value
Over 7% to 10%: Poor value
Football
We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.
Kingssportsbet has an overall average margin of 4.58% for football and falls in the good value category. In the first section using odds from the English Premier League, the margin is at 3.99%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, has a margin of 4.39%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Ekstraklasa, the margin is at 5.35%.
Betting options — good
As one of the earliest online betting platforms in Uganda, Kingssportsbet has over time made a lasting impression on its users. The sportsbook is considerate of the wide range of punters they have with different interests; hence they provide a wide selection of sports to satisfy everyone.
Range of Sports: As at the time of writing this review, there were 16 sports available. The sports include football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, beach volley, cricket, American football, handball, snooker, cricket, rugby, water polo, table tennis and others. The most wagered sports on Kingssportsbet are as expected football, tennis and basketball.
The sportsbook makes a large room for casino games. With a section of the site called the casino lobby, there is no limit to the kind of casino games you can find. This would be an exciting experience for a casino lover, because not only do they have a live casino to wager on, but they are blessed with a wide array of games to pick from in that category as well. For this section, the bookie deserves a thumbs up.
The virtual section is not as packed as the casino section. However, it is not scarce with options too. The fans of virtual games can play in the three categories enlisted on the website, which are: the virtual football league, virtual tennis open and virtual basketball league.
They have a jackpot section but we found it to be empty as at the time of this review and this is something we’d like to see them addressing in due time.
Their sportsbook has quite an interesting layout that makes navigation easy.
Range of Bets and Markets: The quality and diversity of betting options available is a determining factor that's considered by every punter when trying to pick a bookie. A bookie that has a wide range of top options tells the punter indirectly that they are concerned about his betting pleasure. Most punters crave for that reassurance of having a lot of options to pick from.
In this regard, Kingssportbet leaves no stone unturned. They make provision for a broad range of options that's not only selective to specific sports. What this implies is that the distribution of options is quite commendable. Other sports asides football also boast large diversity in betting options.
For football lovers, there are most of the times over 450 betting markets to pick from on popular league matches. We are not just talking about the regular and seemingly common options like the straight win, both teams to score, over/under 2.5 but also more special options like shots, saves, throw-ins, first goal method etc. There is in fact hardly an option you'd like to bet in that's not available here.
The basketball section is also not left out as punters are spoilt with over 70 betting options for popular league matches. We are talking about options like 1st quarter total, 1st quarter handicap, 1st quarter winner 3 way, 2nd quarter odd/even total.
If you are a punter that's crazy about options, then this platform is one you will be glad to visit.
Betting limits: The money that can be wagered on each bet will be enough for most punters. Like almost always though, the limits are getting sized down when it comes to betting on lower leagues.
In-play — good
As the years go by, the betting scene has been experiencing lots of transformation: newer options are coming out. And in recent times, the live betting feature is becoming widely accepted and wanted.
Gone are those days when betting was only restricted to just pre-matches alone. Now, punters can try their hands-on live games.
It has even become common knowledge that punters seem to rate the in-play games more. This is because with in-play games, they seem to have a better point of view about a game.
The Kingssportsbet has provision for a highly impressive live section that's stacked with a lot of sports and betting options to pick from.
On the live section, football is not the only game that a punter can wager on, they can also try their hands on other sports like volleyball, basketball, tennis, snooker and more.
Interestingly, the betting options are not few and punters still get to enjoy the extensive array of options offered on the pre-matches.
Basketball and tennis saw good enough options in this category but other sports can gradually be worked on for a bit more diversity.
The scoreboard makes up for the luck of live streaming by being quite straightforward and giving all the info needed in a glance, while it has a detailed game description with the graphics provided being very helpful indeed.
