How we make money
It does not. Betting Tips Kenya earns nothing today: no adverts, no affiliate commission, no paid tips and no sponsors. This page explains why, and what would have to happen before that changed.
Income today: none
No bookmaker, tipster, advertiser, app, payment company or reader pays this site anything. There is no shop, no subscription, no premium channel and no donation button. The costs of running the site are carried by its publisher, whose legal entity has not been published yet because the site is in demo status.
Every possible source, and whether it is used
| Source | Used on this site? | Why not |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate commission from bookmakers | No | A paid link to an operator promotes gambling, which needs the Authority's approval under section 87(1) of the Act. The site has none. |
| Betting adverts or sponsored pages | No | Each gambling advert needs an approval applied for at least seven days before the campaign (L.N. 114 r.5) and prescribed content (r.8). The site holds no approval. |
| Other display adverts | No | Ad networks set cookies and follow readers from site to site. The privacy page says no ad network runs here, and that stays true. |
| Selling tips or a paid channel | No | The site publishes no picks, free or paid. |
| Paid reviews or paid placement | No | Nothing is ranked, so there is no position to sell. |
| Selling or sharing reader data | No | The site sells no data. It has no forms or accounts, and the analytics data described on the privacy page goes to Google and is not sold. |
| Donations or memberships | No | There is no payment channel of any kind. |
The law behind the missing links
Section 87(1) of the Gambling Control Act, 2025 says no one may promote gambling advertising on electronic or any other medium without the Authority's approval. Breaching section 87 can cost a fine of up to KES 20,000,000, up to 20 years in prison, or both (s.87(4)). The Gambling Control (Advertising) Regulations, 2026 then set the detail: an application on Form 1 at least seven days before a campaign starts (L.N. 114 r.5), required content including the licence number, a responsible-gambling message and the words "authorized and regulated by the Gambling Regulatory Authority" (r.8), and a list of things no advert may do, from calls to action to testimonials (r.9). Fees charged for advertising betting also carry excise duty of 15% (Excise Duty Act, First Schedule, Part II, paragraph 8).
A page that links to a bookmaker in return for commission is advertising in all but name. Without an approval, the honest choice is not to link at all.
If that ever changed
The site would leave demo status only after the publisher had supplied its legal entity, the Authority's advertising approval reference and the terms of any commercial agreement. Then, in this order:
- This page would change first, with the date, naming each source of income.
- Any paid link would be labelled as paid where it appears.
- The guides would keep their arithmetic and their conclusions; a page about margin would still say what the margin costs you.
- There would still be no rankings, bonuses or picks.
What it means for you
No page here is written to get you to open an account or place a bet, because nobody pays for that outcome. If a page ever reads as if it is steering you towards a bookmaker, treat it as a mistake and see the corrections page.
