Sokabet Tanzania

The history of the Sokabet

Sokabet Tanzania is a bookmaker that is a more progressive counterpart to another Tanzanian bookmaker MkekaBet.

Like its sister, it is owned by Rain Digital Company Limited, based in Tanzania, East Africa.

Sokabet was founded in 2014 and currently belongs to a group of young and still “gaining momentum” bookmakers.

The bookmaker does everything possible to provide its clients with high-quality services in terms of security, mobile betting, odds and bonus programs. And it should be noted that he is quite good at it.

The popularity of the brand

Like most local betting operators, Sokabet is a fairly popular platform among Tanzanians.

If you believe independent analytical companies that regularly monitor the activity of certain sites, then at least 10,000 “local” users visit the official Sokabet website every day.

But, as for Europe, the bookmaker is frankly “not up to” the desired level.

Not the least role is played by the website, which is presented in English and Swahili. Although, it is worth noting that some of the pages and the banners have no equivalents in English. Navigation is extremely simple, but the lack of graphics and any animation makes it completely uninteresting.

Security, license, and regulatory agencies

Sokabet is a completely legal bookmaker in Tanzania, licensed in the South African province of the Western Cape and owned by Rain Digital Company Limited.

The security and confidentiality of users ‘ personal data is ensured by special 2048-bit SSL data encryption.

If you have any questions, you can contact Sokabet representatives 24/7 in live-chat or by calling the hotline number.

Rules of the game in Sokabet

The rules of the game in the bookmaker’s office can be found on the official website at the bottom in the “About us” section.

As it should be, they fully comply with all international standards accepted in the betting environment.

Here you can also get acquainted with a number of restrictions that are punishable by a fine and complete deletion of the account without a refund from the Deposit.

This includes:

• Registering more than one account per person;
• Providing false information;
• Money laundering by depositing and withdrawing money from the account.

Responsible gaming

The responsible play policy applies to all Sokabet customers.

Clients have several self-limiting tools at their disposal, which are valid until the entire time period is agreed upon.

These personal restrictions include:

1. Personal limit;
2. Bid Limit;
3. Loss Limit;
4. Function timeout;
5. Self-exclusion;
6. Reality check;

Sokabet bookmaker

Sokabet is an excellent sports “dealer” that offers its clients not only to bet on local events, but also on European Championships.

• Line

Sokabet offers about 20 sports disciplines for betting, and most of them are not popular on the European continent.

Here you can bet on:

In addition, this bookmaker has an excellent e-Sports line with long-term and live-betting options. The e-Sport category includes:

• Bets on computer versions of football;
• Hounds;
• Motor sports, horse;
• Racing;

However, it is worth noting that the graphics in these virtual sports – and mostly in virtual football – leave much to be desired and frankly destroy the fun of betting.

Sokabet’s coefficients are standard. They range from 1.50 to 2.20 depending on the event and its magnitude. The margin is also at an average level: from 7 to 9%.

The bookmaker’s priority is football and tennis. They are placed in a separate large section.

However, you can also find popular world hockey and basketball leagues and tournaments on the bookmaker platform.

• Live section

The situation with live betting in Sokabet may seem rather sad, especially if you are used to receiving additional special options, such as statistics, live broadcast and graphics for current gaming events. The fact is that there is nothing of this here.

The only huge advantage of live-betting here is that the bookmaker offers a fairly long list with football matches every day.

• Online broadcast

Sokabet bookmaker offers its clients an online broadcast function. We can’t say that it works perfectly or poorly here – the broadcasts here are frankly incomplete. In a blog on the official website, many players regularly complain about delays of up to 20 seconds, which is quite a long time for a bookmaker and is generally unacceptable.

Sokabet Casino

As for the Casino, it is simply incomparable here. It is rare to find such a large selection of games and betting options at a bookmaker, where the Casino acts as an addition, and not as the main option.

Sokabet offers more than 1000 different slot machines, including Zeppelin and Plinko.

Also available here:

• Live casino;

It is worth noting that the Casino livery is quite popular in Tanzania, at least due to the size of bets and jackpots. For example, the last Sokabet jackpot in the casino was 7.000.000 TZS.

• Blackjack;

The following types of blackjack are available here:

• Blackjack Switch;
• Double Exposure;
• Spanish 21;
• One SD deck;
• Super Fan 21;

• Roulette;

In the “Roulette” section, there are more than 15 types of roulette, such as:

• French roulette;
• Zeros;
• American roulette;
• Premium roulette;

• Baccarat;

Baccarat lovers will appreciate Sokabet casino thanks to its wide selection of baccarat variations.

Here you will find:

• European baccarat;
• English baccarat;
• Punto Banco;
• Mini baccarat

• Slots and 3D slots;

Sokabet offers a large selection of slots among which you can find:

• classic three-reel five-
• reel slots
• 3D slots
• Video slots

• Poker

Sokabet TZ also offers its customers a variety of poker options, including:

• Classic Texas Hold’em;
• Omaha Hi-Lo;
• Seven-Card Stud;
• Badugi;
• Razz;
• Lowball 2-7;

• Bingo

As for bingo, this section is very poor in this Bookmaker. Only 90 – ball and 75-ball bingo is available here.

• Game service providers

As mentioned above, Sokabet impresses with its choice of casino games, which they owe to such global game providers as:

• Evolution Gaming;
• Betsoft Gaming;
• Nextgen Gaming;
• NYX Interactive;
• StarTrek Gaming;

In addition, which is a significant advantage, every registered user can play in the casino in demo mode on this gaming platform.

Loyalty program and bonus system

Sokabet Tanzania has a fairly modest bonus program, which includes only standard basic offers. Those bettors who are used to “big” bonuses and individual approach will be very disappointed.

The bookmaker offers its clients the following bonuses:

• Welcome bonus up to 500 TZS, or 100% of the initial deposit

You can get this bonus only if you top up your deposit with at least 200 TZS. Wagered on events with a coefficient of at least 1.50.

• 50% on the second deposit replenishment

You can get this bonus only if you add at least 400 TZS to your second deposit. You can use it in long-playing bets, as well as in Express bets or live-betting.

• 100% of the amount of the initial deposit to the casino account

The bonus is paid using a special Sokabet promo code. By registering on the platform and playing at the casino, the user receives 100% or 200 TZS.

• No deposit bonus

You can get a no Deposit bonus immediately after registering on the site by checking the box in the section “get a bonus and accept the terms and conditions”. After creating an account and filling out the profile, the amount of 150 TZS will be automatically credited to the account.

This offer is only valid for new customers.

• Betting bonus players

The more bets you place, the more points you can get. You can exchange points for free bets or real money.

Mobile Application

Bookmaker has developed a great mobile app for Android and iOS users. But Windows phone owners will have to settle for the mobile version of the site.

Overall, the app is pretty good. In 2019, all mobile versions of the betting company’s app were completely modified in order to become more reliable. They have acquired a more elegant design and got additional functionality. Now Sokabet App for Android and iOS are more different compared to the basic desktop version of the site, although the main color scheme has been preserved.

The mobile app has all the features of the full version of the site:

1. You can use It to register on the platform;
2. To Deposit and withdraw money;
3. Play live casino;
4. Betting (including Live betting);
5. Watch online broadcasts;

Also, a blog is available in the mobile app to communicate with other players.

Android app — how to download and install

Sokabet Download an Android App doesn’t work the standard way. The fact is that as shown by numerous user reviews, there are problems when downloading the latest version of the app from the Play Market. In this regard, we recommend downloading using the APK file directly from the bookmaker’s website.

To download the app, go to the “Apps” section on the Sokabet website and click on the corresponding icon (Android or Apple). The system will automatically recognize the phone model and start downloading.

Once the Apk is in your smartphone, you need to unpack and install it.

Sokabet for PC

The interface is quite simple and clear. The mobile version completely repeats the design of the full version of the site. In its upper part there is an authorization (registration) button and a menu button on the left.

Registration

There are only two types of registration available on the Sokabet Tanzania website:

1. Full registration;
2. Registration via SMS (similar to check in a single click);

Both methods involve subsequent mandatory verification of identity with the provision of a complete list of identity documents, such as:

• Passport;
• International passport;
• Driver’s license;
• Payment receipts for various services that contain the player’s personal data;

So, let’s look at each of these methods in more detail.

• Sokabet registration via SMS

As mentioned above, this method of registration is analogous to one-click registration, which is common on European platforms.

By the way, registration via SMS is a Tanzanian method that you will often find in other countries.

The process is as follows.

1. To the Number +255 746 983 630 you must send the word “registration”.
2. After that, the player receives an SMS with his unique code and password, which are valid only once.
3. After the bettor performs Sokabet login using this code, he must change the password and fill in all the fields in the personal questionnaire.

Attention!

You can only specify the account currency once. On this platform, you can place bets in TZS, EU, USA.

• Full Sokabet sing up

Full registration involves filling out the questionnaire immediately and contains the following questionnaire items:

1. Login
2. Password
3. Last name
4. Name
5. Date of birth
6. The phone number
7. E-mail address
8. Passport number
9. Currency

The bettor can start playing only after completing the form completely.

After filling out the form, you will receive an email with a one-time link to confirm your account.

Supported payment systems

Sokabet game resource is designed for players from Tanzania, which is confirmed by the list of available game currencies.

However, there are few ways to add funds here. And this is probably one of the few drawbacks of the bookmaker. However, what is pleasing is the speed of crediting money to the balance and withdrawing money in cash through the cash register or to a Bank card.

Even among the positive factors of this bookmaker can be attributed to the lack of a fee for deposits and withdrawals. Also, the system automatically remembers the Bank details that you used to top up your account. You will not need to enter your Bank details again.

You should learn more about the terms of depositing and withdrawing funds by studying the relevant informative section of the bookmaker on the official website.

Our Verdict

After a thorough analysis of Sokabet TZ, we can confidently recommend this resource to beginners in the world of betting and online casino lovers. But professional bettors here, unfortunately, have nothing to do.

On the positive side, Sokabet has a good customer support service (although there are only two ways to communicate), and an excellent security system.

We definitely recommend this game platform!
