1. Acceptance of Terms
Opening an account with CaptainsBet means that the user accepts the Terms and Conditions published on the platform at the time of registration. These rules apply from the moment the account is created and remain valid for as long as the user continues to access the service.
CaptainsBet may update these Terms when legal, technical, regulatory, or operational changes affect the platform. When important changes are made, users may be notified through a visible notice on the website, account dashboard, or registered email address.
If a user does not agree with updated Terms, they may stop using the service and request account closure, subject to the usual verification and withdrawal procedures.
2. Eligibility and Registration
Only users who meet the required legal conditions may register and use CaptainsBet. The platform is intended for adults who are legally allowed to participate in betting and gaming activities in their place of residence.
To register, users must:

All personal data collected during this process is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For users in Kenya, acceptable verification documents may include a valid National ID card, passport, or other government-issued identification where applicable.
3. Account Security
Users are responsible for keeping their account details secure. This includes passwords, usernames, verification codes, and any other authentication method connected to the account.
For better protection, users should:
- create a strong password with letters, numbers, and symbols;
- avoid sharing login details with anyone;
- change the password if suspicious activity is noticed;
- use available security tools where provided;
- contact support immediately if account access appears compromised.
Any activity carried out from the account may be treated as activity performed by the registered user. Allowing another person to access or use the account may lead to restrictions or account closure.
4. Responsible Use of the Platform
CaptainsBet is intended for personal and recreational use only. Users must not use the platform for commercial exploitation, fraud, manipulation, or any activity that may harm other users or the integrity of the service.
The following activities are prohibited:

- opening an account on behalf of another person;
- transferring account access or balances between users where not permitted;

Where suspicious activity is detected, CaptainsBet may review the account, request verification, limit access, cancel affected transactions, or report relevant activity where required by law.
5. Betting Rules and Wagering Conditions
All bets placed on CaptainsBet are subject to the specific rules of the relevant sport, market, casino game, or promotion. Users should review the applicable rules before confirming any wager.
Once a bet is accepted by the system, it normally cannot be cancelled by the user. Exceptions may apply in cases such as event cancellation, postponement, technical errors, or other situations covered by the relevant betting rules.
Betting limits may vary depending on:
- the sport or event;
- the selected betting market;
- the type of wager;
- the user’s account status or activity profile;
- risk and compliance checks applied by the platform.
If an obvious technical error affects published odds, market settlement, game operation, or bet acceptance, CaptainsBet may review the affected wager and take corrective action according to standard industry practice.
Winnings are generally settled according to the odds confirmed at the time the bet was accepted.
Users are responsible for complying with any applicable tax obligations related to their betting activity under the laws of Kenya. CaptainsBet may apply or comply with tax reporting and withholding requirements where required by applicable legislation or regulatory authorities.
6. Bonuses and Promotional Terms
Bonuses and promotions may be offered from time to time, but they are always subject to separate promotional rules. These may include wagering requirements, expiry dates, minimum deposit conditions, eligible markets, game restrictions, withdrawal limits, and maximum winnings.
Specific promotional terms and conditions apply to bonuses and are considered an integral part of these general Terms.
Users should read bonus rules before accepting any offer. If a bonus is used in a way that breaches promotional conditions, CaptainsBet may cancel the bonus, remove related winnings, or restrict access to future promotions.
7. Payments, Deposits, and Withdrawals
CaptainsBet may support payment methods commonly used by players in Kenya, including mobile money options such as M-Pesa and Airtel Money where available. The exact payment methods, processing times, fees, limits, and verification requirements may vary depending on the user’s account and current platform settings.
When using M-Pesa or Airtel Money, the payment account should be registered in the user’s own name and match the details provided during account registration. Additional verification may be required before withdrawals are processed.
Users must ensure that payment details belong to them and match the information registered on the account. CaptainsBet may request additional verification before processing withdrawals or resolving payment issues.
Deposits and withdrawals may be delayed or rejected if:
- account details are incomplete or incorrect;
- identity verification is pending;
- the payment method does not match the registered user;
- suspicious activity is detected;
- technical or provider-related delays occur.
Users should always check the payment section inside their account for the latest deposit and withdrawal instructions before sending money.

Affiliates must follow responsible marketing standards and may not:
- use misleading advertising;
- target minors or vulnerable users;
- send spam or unsolicited promotional messages;
- misrepresent the CaptainsBet brand;
- use domains, designs, or wording that may confuse users with the official platform.
Violation of affiliate rules may result in suspension of the affiliate account, cancellation of pending commissions, or further action where necessary.

FAQ
Who can create an account on CaptainsBet?
Only individuals who meet the legal requirements for online betting may register on CaptainsBet. Users must be at least 18 years old or have reached the legal gambling age applicable in their jurisdiction. During registration, users are expected to provide accurate and up-to-date personal information and may be asked to verify their identity before gaining full access to certain account features.
Why does CaptainsBet request identity verification documents?
Identity verification helps protect both users and the platform from fraud, unauthorised account access, and misuse of payment methods. Depending on the circumstances, CaptainsBet may request documents such as a National ID card, passport, or other government-issued identification to confirm a user’s identity and account ownership.
Can I have more than one CaptainsBet account?
No. Users are generally allowed to maintain only one account. Creating multiple accounts may result in account restrictions, suspension, or the cancellation of bonuses and winnings obtained in violation of the platform’s rules. This policy helps ensure fair play and prevents abuse of promotions and account features.
What happens if I forget to keep my account secure?
Users are responsible for protecting their login credentials and preventing unauthorised access to their accounts. If suspicious activity is detected, it is important to contact customer support immediately. Sharing passwords or allowing another person to use your account may lead to restrictions or other actions under the Terms and Conditions.
Are bonuses covered by separate rules?
Yes. Every promotion or bonus may have its own specific requirements and restrictions. These can include wagering requirements, qualifying deposits, eligible games, expiration periods, and withdrawal conditions. Promotional rules form part of the overall Terms and Conditions and should be reviewed before accepting any offer.
Can CaptainsBet delay or reject a withdrawal request?
In certain situations, yes. Withdrawals may be delayed while identity verification is being completed, when account details do not match payment information, or when additional security checks are required. Payment processing may also depend on the rules and limitations of the selected payment provider.
Do I need to use my own M-Pesa or Airtel Money account?
Yes. When using M-Pesa or Airtel Money, the payment account should belong to the registered account holder and match the personal details provided during registration. This helps protect users, reduce fraud risks, and comply with account verification requirements.
Can CaptainsBet change its Terms and Conditions?
Yes. The platform may update its Terms and Conditions to reflect legal, operational, technical, or security-related changes. Users are encouraged to review the latest version periodically, as continued use of the platform may be considered acceptance of any updated rules.
What should I do if I disagree with a decision made on my account?
If you believe a decision regarding your account, payment, or betting activity is incorrect, you can contact CaptainsBet customer support and request a review. Cases are assessed according to the platform’s procedures, and additional information may be requested before a final decision is reached.
