At the time of writing, mCHEZA is not offering a welcome offer bonus. The betting site is not keen on offering a welcome offer, promotions, or a VIP program of any sort, which is rather strange. If you are one for a welcome offer bonus, look elsewhere. That being said, the betting site offers several enticing features which do make it a magnificent prospect.

We hope that they work on this in due course of time, and offer their new Kenyan customers a welcome offer bonus to show for.

At the time of writing, there is only one promotional offer on offer, at mCHEZA. The betting site is offering up to 50% Extra Pay Out, on winning Multi Bets. There are certain terms and conditions for the same. Each selection of a winning Multi Bet must have odds of 1.5 or more. Each winning Multi Bet must have 5 or more selections.

This promotional offer is only on Online Betting. Here is how the Extra Pay Out scheme works, for winning Multi Bets, that abide by the above mentioned terms and conditions –

It must be noted that all Extra Pay Outs are on winning bets only. We hope that mCHEZA offers more promotional offers, in due course of time.

VIP Program

At the time of writing, mCHEZA does not offer a VIP Program, or a Loyalty Program. The betting site is not big on offering Loyalty Bonuses, or VIP Perks. That being said, a Loyalty Program is key to retaining and appeasing loyal customers. We hope that the betting site works on this, and offer a VIP program, and/or a Loyalty Program, sooner rather than later.

At the time of writing, mCHEZA offers odds on exactly 20 sports. The betting site offers odds on several wonderful sports markets, of which Football is the most popular on the platform. You can choose to punt on popular sports like Football, Basketball, and Tennis, among other options. You can also choose to punt on unique sports, like Hurling, Surfing, and Chess, among other options as well – With this, mCHEZA ensures that punters of all kinds are catered to.

See the list of most popular betting terms and markets here. 

The minimum stake that you can place on a Sports market is 50 KES, while the maximum stake that you can place is 50,000 KES. The maximum pay out on Single Bets is 200,000 KES, while that on Multi Bets is 2,000,000 KES. You can win up to 1,000,000 KES in a single day. You must always gauge the terms and conditions with respect to a betting variant, or bet type, before going on to place a bet.

That being said, some bookmakers offer better odds on a bet that you may want to place, and you must always gauge the odds on offer, at several bookmakers, for a bet that you may want to place. Bookmaker’s essentially earn off bookmaker’s margin, and a margin which is closer to the ideal market mark of 100% is better for you.

Similarly, if a betting site is offering odds on a betting variant, whose margin exceeds the 110% threshold, steer clear, as the likelihood of you reaping benefits off such a bet, is unlikely. You can easily calculate bookmaker’s margin, by determining the Odds Overround for a bet. While this may seem difficult to process, you will get a hang of it, as it is simple to say the least.

To calculate the Odds Overround for a bet, you must divide each individual outcome of a betting variant, by 100 (In the decimal form). After you have performed this action, add each of the resulting numbers together. With the help of the resultant number, you can calculate the Odds Overround for a betting variant.

To determine the quality of the odds on offer at mCHEZA, we decided to calculate the Odds Overround for a betting variant. We calculated the Odds Overround for a match to be contested in the UEFA Champions League, and the Odds Overround were found to be 106.1. This indicates that the bookmaker offers competitive odds, and that it has active markets on offer, which is an excellent sign.

Esports

Esports are quite popular among punters of all ages – Especially the younger generation. Several gamers are earning a handsome living off playing their favourite Esports, and it is of no wonder that mCHEZA has jumped on the Esports wagon. At the time of writing, the betting site offers odds on Call of Duty, and StarCraft.

Several local, and international Esports tournaments take place each calendar year, and you must perform your due diligence before betting on an Esports market.

The minimum stake that you can place on an Esports market is 50 KES, while the maximum stake that you can place is 50,000 KES. The maximum pay out on Single Bets is 200,000 KES, while that on Multi Bets is 2,000,000 KES. You can win up to 1,000,000 KES in a single day.

You must always gauge the terms and conditions with respect to a betting variant, or bet type, before going on to place a bet.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

At the time of writing, the betting site does not offer Bet Builder, which is rather unfortunate, given the application of this feature, and its fundamental brilliance, when it comes to creating a bet of one’s liking. Nevertheless, we hope that mCHEZA incorporates Bet Builder in their strategy in the near future.

The betting site does offer Cash Out though. Cash Out is an excellent feature which allows you to retrieve partial winnings on a placed bet, if you feel that you may go on to lose a placed bet, at any point of time. The amount of money received during cashing out, depends on the odds in favour of the placed bet at the time of cashing out, and the exact time of cashing out.

You may go on to win more, or less than your initially placed stake.
