Paying rent became a constant worry, and there were days when putting food on the table was difficult. Elijah knew he needed to find another way to support himself and his family, but at the time, he had no idea where that opportunity would come from. Things began to change early this year when a friend introduced him to NairoBets , a newly launched platform that allows football fans to make money by selling their match predictions to fellow gamblers. Elijah had always been good at analysing football matches, studying team form, recent performances and other factors before making his predictions.

For many young Kenyans, football has always been more than just a game. But for a growing number of football fans, their knowledge of the sport is now becoming a source of income. A newly launched platform called NairoBets is attracting attention by allowing football enthusiasts to sell their carefully researched betting predictions to other gamblers. Instead of simply keeping their analysis to themselves, tipsters can now turn their football knowledge into an opportunity to earn from every prediction they sell. NairoBets , which was launched earlier this year, gives tipsters a marketplace where they can post their predictions and then promote them through WhatsApp, Telegram and other social media platforms. Once customers purchase their tips, the tipster earns money from the sales and can withdraw their earnings, making the platform an attractive option for football fans looking for an additional source of income. For some young Kenyans, what started as a passion for analysing matche...

For Mike Mureithi, life as a student had become increasingly difficult. Balancing school expenses, daily needs, and other responsibilities was not easy, and there were times when making ends meet felt almost impossible. Things began to change after a friend introduced him to NairoBets , a platform that had recently been launched to connect football fans with gamblers looking for football predictions.

Mike decided to give it a try, and according to him, the experience turned out to be a major turning point. After building a reputation on the platform, Mike says he started making as much as KSh 50,000 on some days from selling his f...

For 38-year-old Andrew Kiprotich, what was supposed to be a simple night of celebrating his longtime friend ended with police taking him away in handcuffs. Andrew, a Nairobi security guard, had joined Kipsang Chirchir at a local pub after Kipsang reportedly landed a life-changing KES 2.1 million jackpot through sports betting. The two friends started the evening in high spirits, sharing drinks, jokes and stories as they celebrated Kipsang’s sudden stroke of luck. Much of the conversation centred on how Kipsang had managed to turn his betting fortunes around, something he attributed largely to the football predictions and analysis he had been getting from SokaFans . However, the mood reportedly changed as the night progressed. After several rounds of drinks, Kipsang decided it was time to call it a night. Andrew, who had already had too much to drink, apparently took offence when his friend declined to purchase another round. He reportedly complained that despite winning millions, Kipsa...
