Ready, set — go!

Basic info: who owns company, net worth and address

The brand was founded in 2018 in Cyprus. And this is who owns the company of 22Bet:

• TechSolutions (CY) Group Limited, as a payment agent, registration number HE 377018 in Cyprus; the official address of 22Bet is Parthenonos 5, Flat 103, 2020, Nicosia.
• TechSolutions Group N.V., as a holder of a global online sports betting and casino license, registered at Abraham Mendez Chumaceiro Boulevard 50 in Curacao.

The physical 22Bet owner, such as a person (or a group of people), has never been officially confirmed, but it is believed that the owner is initially from CIS and is residing in Cyprus. The net worth of this online bookmaker is not publicly known, as the company is private. Takebet South Africa believes the 22Bet net worth to be around 100,000,000-500,000,000 USD, just a raw estimate.

The company is primarily targeted at the developing economies of Africa, Asia, Latin America and CIS. Their official website address is www.22bet.com and www.22bet.me. The former domain is the chief one and offers registration in approximately 150 countries, includ

Some of the countries have special local versions of the 22Bet site:

• Kenya — 22bet.co.ke
• Nigeria — 22bet.ng
• Ghana — 22bet.com.gh
• Uganda — 22bet.ug
• Tanzania — 22bet.co.tz
• Zambia — 22bet.co.zm
• Senegal — 22bet.com.sn (22bet.sn)
• Cameroon — 22bet.cm

In some countries, there is no 22Bet: South Africa, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe are among the regions where the bookie doesn’t accept players and even blocks the access to its site.

The betting website is translated into over 60 different languages including English (US, UK and more dialects!), French, Swahili (Kiswahili), Hindi, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and so on.

Reputation and license: is 22Bet safe and legit, sponsor deals

This sports betting company strives for legitimate operations: there is either one or even two levels of licensing, depending on the country in question. As an international company, under the name TechSolutions Group N.V. 22Bet holds the license 8048/JAZ2017-067 of Curacao. Also, the license №00867 of Kahnawake Mohawk Territory in Canada was provided in 2021.

On a local level, licenses are often issued if the bookie operates via a local site:

• In Kenya, 22Bet (as Nuntis Holdings LTD) holds the license # 0000417 issued by the BCLB authority according to the Kenyan Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act.
• In Nigeria, 22Bet (as Arcadia Hospitality LTD) has the sports betting license # 0001039 of the National Regulatory Commission and the Oyo State Board license # OYSGB/CASB/20001 for handling online casino business.
• In Ghana, 22Bet (as Lantini Limited) owns the license # GCSB20P6235Q from the Gaming Commission of Ghana allowing the arrangement of sports betting. The company is duly registered at the address Shop Six, Spintex Road, Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana.
• In Uganda, 22Bet (as Arcadia Hospitality Limited) has obtained the license # GB-49-008 from the Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board. The local company has its official address registered at Kisakye Building Mall and Complex, Bugolobi, Kampala 67.
• In Tanzania, 22Bet (as BETWIN LIMITED) keeps the sports betting license SBI000000015 from the Ministry Of Finance and Planning Gaming Board of Tanzania.
• In Zambia, 22Bet (as Arcadia Hospitality Limited) has the sports betting license # 0000848 issued by the Lotteries and Betting Control Board of Zambia and the casino license # 0000107 from the Ministry of Tourism and Arts of Zambia.
• In Senegal, 22Bet (as Arcadia Holding SARL) owns the license # 02002 of the Loterie Nationale Senegalaise to conduct sports betting. The official local address of the company in Senegal is Dakar, 36, Cite Des Profs Fann Residense.
• In Cameroon, 22Bet (as Arcadia Hospitality LTD) has the sports betting license # 000022 provided by the Ministry of Territorial Administration of Cameroun.

So, is the 22Bet bookmaker safe? The service and the reliability of payments tend to be more or less the same for every country, and the basic terms and conditions are too. The question about 22Bet legitimacy is more complex. In the countries where this bookmaker owns a local license on top of the global one, the company is 100% legal by law. However, if there is only the international license of 22Bet, legal status in such countries may be in a grey area. For punters, the main difference is that you can’t possibly take a company without a local license to a local court.

When it comes to arrangements to be a sponsor, the 22Bet company has something to say: in the course of its history, the bookmaker employed a lineup of ambassadors like Kevin Kuranyi and Nuno Gomes, former internationals for the German and the Portugal national teams, respectively.

In 2018, the betting site got a legendary Brazil soccer player, Ronaldinho, onboard. As his sponsor, the bookmaker enabled the charity match of Ronaldinho & Friends vs Adler All Stars, which took place at the Commerzbank Stadium of Eintracht in Frankfurt on 17 November 2018.

Also, the 22Bet betting company was an official African betting partner for Paris Saint-Germain in the 2021/22 season, the status that was then retaken by 1xBet across Africa and Asia.

Depicting process of registration for 22Bet account online

There are two basic ways of 22Bet sign up — by phone number and a full one, with an email address. Both may be provided, or only one of them, based on your geolocation.

Any gambling activities are prohibited for minors, so mind that in most countries a punter must be 18 years old or over, while in many other countries the allowed age starts from 21 years old (Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast, for instance) and more (in Uganda — 25+ years old).

And by the way, there is usually a registration bonus waiting for you afterwards!

Mobile phone number registration

For this method of sign up, the firm needs you to have a valid local mobile phone number on you. Registration via a mobile telephone number with this bookie is a basic way for most local sites.

Here is how to register via a mobile phone number in 22Bet:

1. Access the online sportsbook and tap on the REGISTRATION button.
2. Pick the country and the currency (if on the international version).
3. Fill in the local phone number of your country and hit SEND SMS.
4. Acquire the message and input the confirmation code into the corresponding field, then tap CONFIRM. Enter an optional promo code for a free bet.
5. Make sure the box responsible for T&C confirmation is ticked.
6. Press REGISTER — and this is how you create a betting account with 22Bet!

Email sign up

One can join with an email if using their full registration form. This form of 22Bet is simple to fill in for most countries, while in some states it is more complex due to local regulations.

Here is how to open an account via an email to play sports at 22Bet:

1. Enter the online sports betting site and hit REGISTRATION.
2. Pick the country and the currency (if on the international version).
3. Fill in the email address and your full name.
4. Fill in additional data (if asked), such as your other names (middle one, for instance), your residence address, your nationality and date of birth, the type of your identification document and its number (such as a passport or an ID card) or a phone number.
5. Tap on the box responsible for T&C validation.
6. Hit REGISTER to complete the procedure.

SMS registration

There is an additional way of signing up for an account — through an SMS!

It is very easy: when in Kenya, just type in JOIN and send the message to 29252 for the 22Bet registration. Once it’s done, you’ll receive your login and password in a reply message. The process takes up to a few minutes maximum, and it lets you join even being offline.

Completing online login to access 22Bet

After a new punter has registered for an account, he can log in to 22Bet via the site or the app.

For this, access the online bookmaker and tap on LOG IN. Choose if you want to use your registered phone number, or your registered email, or your unique account ID. Type in the password, tick the box allowing the bookie to remember you on the website — and tap LOG IN.

If you can’t remember your password, tap on “Forgot your password?” to restore the access!

Verification of account (KYC procedure)

As per the licensing requirements and according to the laws of the countries with regulated online sports betting, verification of an account is mandatory to all customers of 22Bet.

In most countries, this procedure may be adjourned till the customer requests his first money withdrawal or until the moment total transactions reach 2,000 EUR or an equivalent. However, in some countries (e.g. Ghana), a new client of the bookie must provide documents at once.

To confirm your identity and address, log in to your sports betting account and head to the “Documents” section inside the profile. These documents are usually requested:

1. A picture of an official document confirming your full name, gender and your age — basically, your identity. This may be your passport, or an ID card, or a driver’s license. A customer may be asked to picture himself holding the opened document.
2. A picture of a document verifying your residence address,such as a utility bill.
3. A financial document validating your address or financial credentials (proof of funds), such as an official bank account statement — an electronic one or a pictured copy.

The verification process usually takes up to 48 hours, however on busy days it may take up to 72 hours. If something is not right, you may be asked to provide additional papers.

What are 22Bet bonus offers like?

They come in all shapes and sizes — those 22Bet offers!

Promotions may differ by country when on local versions of the online bookmaker, however most of them are universal ones:

• Welcome bonus for registration
• Reload bonus (Friday deposit)
• Promotions for certain types of bets (e.g. accumulators)
• Cashbacks and such
• Casino offers (where one is available)

To use every kind of bonus, 22Bet requests creating an account. Done? Then read on!

Welcome bonus for sign up

Every new player is eligible for the 22Bet sign up bonus whenever it is provided. This offer is a permanent one. The promo amount is made available upon the initial qualifying deposit, except for Zambia, Cameroon and Senegal, where wagering rules must be met before one gets the promotional funds.

The maximum amount of the first deposit bonus of 100% differs by country at 22Bet:

• Kenya — 15,000 KES
• Nigeria — 50,000 NGN
• Ghana — 750 GHS
• Uganda — 550,000 UGX
• Zambia — 2,000 ZMW
• Senegal — 65,000 XOF
• Cameroon — 65,000 XAF
• India — 10,000 INR
• Philippines — 7,500 PHP
• Global — 122 EUR

The minimum qualifying deposit installed by 22Bet for the new customer offer is:

• Kenya — 125 KES
• Nigeria — 500 NGN
• Ghana — 10 GHS
• Uganda — 4,000 UGX
• Zambia — 20 ZMW
• Senegal — 650 XOF
• Cameroon — 650 XAF
• India — 85 INR
• Philippines — 60 PHP
• Global — 1 EUR

Here is how you can get the bonus for registration:

1. Register a new account with 22Bet (note that you must be a new customer).
2. Proceed to deposits, select a payment option and pay above the qualifying minimum.
3. Get your 100% match deposit bonus for sports betting!

In Zambia, Cameroon and Senegal, the qualifying deposit must be gambled first: risk its amount five times in single wagers with the odds of 1.50+ or in accumulators with the odds totalling 1.70 or more. Do that in 14 days. Only then one gets free bets for registration in these coutries!

Learn how the usage of the new customer bonus works on 22Bet:

1. Wager the bonus amount 5 (five) times on sports.
2. Bet on accumulators only, each containing the minimum of 3 (three) events, while at least 3 (three) legs must have the odds of 1.40 or over.
3. Complete rollover requirements in seven days to make a bonus withdrawal.

The promotional amount and all the winnings you will acquire may be withdrawn only after the rollover requirements are met, according to the bonus conditions and terms. You can cancel the bonus before you rollover it as well, however not after you have wagered it on 22Bet.

Yet again, in Zambia, Cameroon and Senegal the terms are different. The bonus comes in free bets, which you don’t have to rollover — but you cannot withdraw them either. Use these promotional bets for accumulators of three selections minimum, no odds limitations. Then withdraw the winnings.

Note: according to the bonus rules, all offers are disabled for cryptocurrencies.

Deposit bonus (Friday offer)

Every week customers of this online bookmaker can please themselves with the renowned 22Bet Friday bonus. This match deposit offer provides an opportunity to get a promotional amount of money to rollover it in sports betting upon your regular deposit on any Friday.

The amount of the 100% reload bonus on Friday equals:

• Kenya — 12,000 KES
• Nigeria — 40,000 NGN
• Ghana — 6,000 GHS
• Uganda — 450,000 UGX
• Tanzania — 250,000 TZS
• India — 8,000 INR
• Philippines — 6,000 PHP
• Global -— 100 EUR

The minimum deposit for the Friday offer is 1 EUR/USD or an equivalent in other currencies.

And here is how to use the deposit bonus on Fridays: wager the promotional amount on 22Bet, 3 (three) times in accumulator bets, with each selection having the odds of 1.40 or more. Moreover, do it in 24 hours. Then you will have an opportunity to withdraw the money!

In some countries such as Zambia, Friday promotion is offered for casino games, and not sports. In some other countries, this popular Friday bonus is not provided at all. However, usually in these regions there is the Saturday reload bonus: you place a bet each day from Monday to Friday with the minimum of 5 EUR and deposit on Saturday with a special 22Bet bonus code SRB to get free bets up to 100 EUR/USD or an equivalent in other currency.

Sports betting promotions: accumulator of the day, losing bets series bonus, rebate, accumulator boost and more

There are enough 22Bet no deposit bonus offers, mostly ones involving placing bets:

• Accumulator of the day: pick a multibet predefined by the bookmaker as the accumulator of the day, place this bet — and if it wins, you get a win bonus of 10%.
• Accumulator boost: receive a cashback upon a lost accumulator bet, if only one selection ruins it. Only multibets with seven legs or more qualify. More conditions apply, including the limits that may be imposed on the maximum cashback amount.
• Bonus for a series of losing bets: gets a consolation bonus upon a series of lost bets.
• Rebate bonus: get 0.3% back every week from the aggregate amount of all your bets. The limits imposed by the 22Bet rules apply, including the minimum rebate of 1 EUR/USD or an approximate equivalent and the maximum of around 1,000 EUR/USD.
• Birthday bonus: the bookie provides bonus codes upon birthdays!
• Jackpot bonus of 22Bet: an occasional promotion that allows placing a free bet on a jackpot draw and winning bonus points for guessing all or almost all outcomes.

Promo Code Store

The company allows customers to acquire a no deposit bonus code for free bets, or free spins, or other bonuses. Here is how one is able to get a promo code from the store of 22Bet:

1. Place bets on sports with odds of 1.30+ for singles and 1.50+ for accumulators.
2. Every 5 EUR/USD wagered on sports and every 10 EUR/USD or an approximate equivalent wagered in their casino (if available) bring one promo point.
3. Get free bets for promotional points: free single bets can be then placed with the odds of 1.80, while free accumulators must contain three events minimum with the 1.40+ odds.

Payment methods provided for deposit and withdrawal

There is a large number of payment methods on the international website — over 50 options, many of which are crypto. Other options include credit and debit cards, transfers via internet banking systems, online wallets and eVouchers.

The minimum deposit amount is 1 EUR/USD on average at 22Bet, or an equivalent in local currencies. However, the limit can be less or slightly more for local deposit methods.

Withdrawal review: getting money out of 22Bet

Typically customers of the company are asked to withdraw to the previous deposit method. So, the withdrawal methods of 22Bet are automatically chosen — the same you have used when making a deposit. Therefore, here is how to withdraw online:

1. Log into your account with the bookmaker.
2. Proceed to the section with withdrawals.
3. Input the amount of cash to withdraw and provide your banking details (if asked).
4. Hit CONFIRM to complete the transfer.

The minimum withdrawal limit is around 1.5 EUR/USD on 22Bet, or an equivalent for most fiat methods, and it may be slightly less or a little more for local means of payment.

The maximum withdrawal limit imposed by 22Bet depends on the method in question. The biggest limits, however, are always provided for bank transfers and cryptocurrency payments.

The withdrawal times are minutes for some methods, and one to seven days for others. The longest times are often requested for banking and card payments due to processing.

In Kenya, withdrawals via SMS are made possible. For this, send the combination W#AMOUNT#PASSWORD to 29252. For example, send W#1000#8422sf to withdraw 1000 KES, and if your account password is 8422sf (this is a random one — use your password).

Guide to betting online with bookmaker

First of all, the bookie boasts about 40 sports to choose from, allowing you to bet on soccer, basketball, tennis, cricket, eSports, horse racing, ice hockey and more sporting disciplines. There are virtual sports and jackpots (TOTO), on top of TV-games, politics and the weather. According to the betting company, there are approximately 1,000 fixtures every single day!

The choice of betting markets is no less, amounting to up to 1,500 choosing options for top soccer matches in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

The odds go from average to low though, with a margin starting with 5% for the most popular markets (like 1×2) in the biggest matches. Going to the lower level of sporting events and less popular bets (e.g. statistics), one can stumble upon a margin of 8-10% and over.

When you are finally tired of 22Bet, on their global online sports betting website and on many local versions, you can play casino games, and even enjoy poker, bingo and other products.

There are limitations imposed one should know about. The minimum stake is 0.20 EUR as per the 22Bet terms and conditions. The maximum payout is 600,000 EUR or an equivalent of your account currency, and that one may differ due to fluctuations of the rates. Moreover, the odds of a single bet are capped at 200.00, and of an accumulator — at 500.00.

Many ask about the maximum stake — there is no such thing per se at 22Bet, as it is not limited for all bets in terms and conditions. However, for every separate bet there is a maximum, which depends on the money flow on the match, the odds of this punt and the account limits.

Safe to say that payout times are very fast: the bets on 22Bet are paid out as soon as the official sources are updated with the results of the events in question.

SMS betting in Kenya

There is an insanely useful opportunity to bet with the bookie offline in Kenya, via SMS. For this, one should forward his messages to the 29252 mobile number of the company.

These are the rules of placing a bet via SMS to 29252 in 22Bet Kenya:

• To learn how much money you have, send the word BALANCE.
• To get available events, send the words SPORT [NAME]. For example, send the words SPORT BASKETBALL for a list of current basketball matches with their identification numbers. For betting options and odds, send the combination GAME[ID]. For instance, send GAME82710 to get odds for a sporting match with the 82710 number of ID.

• To place an accumulator wager, send the combination MATCHID1#BETCODE1#…#AMOUNT. For example, if you bet 233 KES on the home win in the first match (ID81374) and the total over 2.5 goals in the second match (ID23918). The combination will be as such: 81374#1#23918#TA2.5#233.
• To bet on a jackpot in SMS, do this: 1) for a single sport TOTO, text the combination SPORT#AMOUNT#BETCODES, such as FOOTBALL#75#1X12X12X2X112X2 for a 75 KES bet; 2) for a correct score TOTO, send the combination SCORE#AMOUNT#PREDICTION with the scores divided by an asterisk, such as SCORE#75#2:1*0:0*1:0*1:0*1:1*2:2*3:4*1:2.

In the basketball betting market, the following top markets are provided: team wins, regular time double chance and 1×2, point totals and point handicaps, even/odd, team result + over under total, first half / full time, exact point difference, winning margin and more!

If we are to make a cricket review, they provide such great options as team wins, total runs in over (including team totals), first ball of the match, will a wicket fall, total runs in over, result after first overs, draw on runs, sixes, number of runs in the match, who will win the toss, and so on.

When it comes to ice hockey betting, available picks amount to 1×2 and the team to win with OT, BTTS and goal over under totals, Asian handicap, will there be an overtime, correct score of goals, even/odd, the highest scoring period, race to goals and more options.

22Bet odds: how valuable are they?

More of a weak spot in an otherwise perfectly tailored picture, the betting odds of 22Bet can’t be called high compared to some of their competitors. The minimum margin we could find was slightly above 5%, meaning that you get less than 1.90/1.90 on opposing sides of a bet. Moreover, such a margin is used only in the most popular markets (think 1×2) of top matches.

Typically, this bookmaker charges a margin around 8%, which can easily reach 10%+.

Takebet South Africa has reviewed the odds for the 1×2 betting market of top and smaller fixtures below.

Live betting options

Loving to wager in-play on soccer, tennis and more? This you can do with 22Bet live betting! All you need to do for this is hit LIVE in the menu of this online bookmaker. Also, live events are dominating ones on the homepage as you access this online sports betting website.

The number of betting markets in live fixtures is no less big than in prematch in general, while odds are somewhat lower. There are unique betting options too, for example in tennis you have the score after the exact number of games, first game outcome, scoreline in set 1, and more.

When in their section with live events, you can choose to select matches with live streams only. Also, on an event page, you can check out an odds movement chart to understand trends, game events, statistics and more immediate live score info. Events may have a visualisation.

To bet in-play, head to the “Live” section, choose a fixture by tapping on one, select the desired bet, enter the stake amount in the slip and tap PLACE A BET. Note that odds are constantly changing, but thankfully, the bookie accepts live wagers in 5 seconds max usually.

Last but not least, there is a feature called one-click bet. The company allows you to place bets with a predefined amount in one click, just tapping on the odds you are interested in. So easy!

Full website: desktop and mobile new and old versions

According to the 22Bet review of Takebet South Africa, the online bookmaker provides its customers with tailored experience on the whole spectrum of possible devices, desktop and mobile ones, up to a screen resolution of 320×480 on mobile.

Let’s cover the desktop site first! First of all, there are two versions of 22Bet:

• the first one, regarded as the old version, which is used for most of their sites;
• the second one, the new version, which is slicker and is used in some countries.

Takebet South Africa describes the main version below.

When accessing their homepage from PC, first thing you spot is the menu on top:

• Sports: prematch odds and events
• Live: in-play odds and events
• Jackpot (Toto)
• Casino
• Bonuses
• eSports
• Bingo
• 22Games
• More: TV Games, Fast Games

Below, you have virtual sports, statistics (livescore), results and apps. Mind that some sections may be absent from the menus on local versions due to your laws and regulations.

Also, at the top of the page, you have the registration and login buttons or your profile access. There are settings too, which let you change the odds format, language and the time zone.

Below, the main part of their desktop web version can be divided in three parts. On the right, you have the navigation with sports and tournaments. It begins with top championships and top matches in dropdown menus, then you have a button to call all live events, a search bar and a selection of all sports — with countries, tournaments dropping out after a click on a sport.

Then you have the centre of the 22Bet website: at first, there is a list of events, and then you can open any event by clicking on it to see tens and hundreds of available betting markets.

Finally, on the right there is the betslip which allows for placing punts, checking all your current wagers, loading a bet from bet slip codes and saving a booking code. What’s more, from the right-hand side of a page you can access top events with their main odds and games!

Mobile version of 22Bet: review

There is an adaptive mobile website of 22Bet, which automatically opens on phones and tablets.

On top, you have the REGISTRATION and LOG IN buttons. Alongside, there is a navigation menu of the 22Bet bookie, which contains all or some of the following sections:

• Sports
• Live
• Slots
• Live Casino
• Bonuses
• eSports
• 22Games
• Fast Games
• TV Games
• Virtual Sports
• Results
• Settings
• Customer support
• Language
• Information

Note: regional versions may lack some sections: Casino and Games are often absent.

Below the top bar of 22Bet, there is a slider with current promotions and bonuses.

Then, the main section of the 22Bet mobile site starts. First, you have tabs to filter Sports (prematch) and LIVE (in-play events). Then, there is a list of matches. On the homepage, by default you have several top live events and then prematch games in popular sports. There are odds for basic betting markets. Tap on any match to see all of the options.

At the bottom of their mobile page, you have top matches and casino games (if available).

To access the betslip, tap on the corresponding icon in the bottom of a screen. In the 22Bet slip on mobile, you can add selections, choose a bet type (if two selections or more) and launch it!

At the time of writing this 22Bet review, there was no lite mobile version in the menu.

5 things about 22Bet you should know before betting

Let’s assess five interesting points about this sports betting company:

1. The bookie provides sports betting services in over a hundred countries.
2. The company is one of the wealthiest in terms of betting options: over 40 sports, over a thousand events to bet on per day on average and around 1,500 options for top soccer.
3. There is a wealth of sporting and non-sporting gambling products in many countries: virtual sports, jackpots (TOTO), casino and live casino, slots and other games.
4. The website has mobile applications for both Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad).
5. There are lots of 22Bet free bet offers, including welcome bonuses and a bonuscode, accumulator promotions, cashbacks and more.

Bookmaker advantages

With a broad choice of sports and competitions, 22Bet has a really wide coverage of betting markets and choosing options, which reach up to 1,500 different bets for top soccer fixtures.

There is also a great number of payment options for both deposits and withdrawals, which are localised in countries with mobile money or local banking prevailing over international methods.

There is a generous number of betting offers, featuring a sign up bonus too.

On top of that, hundreds of soccer live streams and streaming of other sports are provided.

Also, mobile betting is well-assured by a mobile site version, iOS and Android applications.

Bookie disadvantages

The most visible disadvantage lies in the 22Bet odds: they tend to be on the lower side, with a 5-6% margin in the most popular betting markets of top matches and 8-10%+ in lower leagues.

The bonuses are disabled for cryptocurrency deposits, and this is something to think about.

Also, in many countries they still miss local phone number support and messengers.

Closing words

The portal of 22Bet is an online sportsbook with a clear purpose of offering the widest possible selection of gambling and sports betting options to the developing countries in the first place.

The most substantial downside is their odds, which are not particularly high even on top events.

However, they compensate for this with bombastic promotions for new and current clients! So, the review of 22Bet on Takebet South Africa is largely positive, given all the opportunities this site presents.
