Odibets on iOS — confirmed in the regulator's new register
Odibets
The company Apple names as Odibets' publisher appears by name in its regulator's own licensee register — the new one, after the authority almost every write-up still cites was replaced.

We have not installed this app or played on it. What follows is a record built from Apple’s store data and the sources we cite, not from use.
Verdict
The store record here is stronger than most of what we cover, and so is the paper trail. Kareco Holdings Limited, the company Apple names as the seller, appears by name in the Gambling Regulatory Authority's licensed-operator register, trading as Odibets, with its licence numbers and its domain — regulator and App Store agreeing on the same company. The listing was still shipping builds two and a half years after release, and it is one of only four in our sweep with enough ratings behind the average for the average to mean anything. Two practical cautions: compare that seller name against the entity in the operator's own terms, and check your iPhone, because only one listing in our sweep demands a newer iOS than this one.
What works
- The App Store seller appears by name in the Kenyan regulator's own licensee register, with licence numbers and matching domain
- One of four brands in our sweep whose rating count clears fifty, so the average is measuring something rather than reflecting a handful of votes
- Still shipping updates two and a half years after first release, and the current release notes name a specific change rather than boilerplate alone
What does not
- Demands a newer iOS than every listing in our sweep bar one, so twenty-two of the twenty-three others will install on phones this one turns away
- The regulator that most write-ups still name for Kenya no longer publishes a register, so a check that follows the first search result dead-ends
- Categorised under Sports alone, so the listing itself tells a browsing reader nothing about whether anything else is in the app
- English only, where LEONBET declares Swahili alongside English
- Nothing here tells you how the app behaves in use, because we could not install it

Set by hand, not measured. The headline figure is the average of the four axes above, nothing more. It is not the App Store's rating and not a prediction of whether you will win money — we have not installed either app. What each axis means.
The licence, confirmed — after the regulator moved
Kenya changed its gambling regulator, and that is why this was briefly hard to check.
The Betting Control and Licensing Board — the body almost every write-up about Kenyan betting still names — no longer publishes a register. Its licensed-operator page returns HTTP 404, and its homepage now redirects to the Gambling Regulatory Authority, which took over. The old URLs are still sitting in search engines’ indexes, which is how a check on this brand ends in a dead end if you follow the first result.
The new authority does publish a register, and Odibets is in it. Its licensed-operator list names Kareco Holdings Limited, trading as Odibets, with bookmaker, public gaming and prize-competition licence numbers, a status of Renewal, and the domain odibets.com.
Kareco Holdings Limited is the same company Apple names as the seller of this app. That is the strongest confirmation available to us: the regulator and the App Store agree on the company, and the regulator agrees on the brand name too.
One caution, recorded because we think it matters: some pages on these government domains carry blocks of injected spam links in the footer — counterfeit-sneaker keywords, on a state site. That does not affect the register’s contents, which are internally consistent and match Apple’s data, but it is worth knowing about the source you are checking against.
The iOS floor, and who it leaves behind
Across the twenty-four listings in our sweep, declared minimums start at iOS 13.0. This one asks for 16.6, and exactly one listing asks for more — 1win’s Egyptian and Senegalese build, at 17.6. Put plainly: twenty-two of the twenty-three other listings we cover will install on a phone that this one turns away.
We have no data on how many phones that describes and will not invent one. If your iPhone is a few years old, check what iOS it runs before you go looking — the App Store will tell you the app is incompatible and will not tell you why.
What 240 ratings buys, and what it does not
We treat an App Store average as noise below fifty ratings. This is one of four brands in our sweep that clear that line, and the arithmetic is why the distinction is not arbitrary.
On 1win’s most-rated listing, which carries eight ratings, a ninth one-star vote takes the average from 2.9 to 2.7 — one person moving it by two tenths. Here the same vote moves the average by a little over a hundredth of a point, from 4.296 to 4.282, which is not enough to change the figure the store prints. Nobody buys or bullies this number in small quantities.
What the number does not carry is a date. Apple publishes one figure for the listing, and we cannot tell from outside which versions those 240 votes landed on. A listing first released in December 2023 has shipped a great many builds since, and the average does not separate them.
What shipped in the current version
The release notes read, in full: “1. World cup changes 2. Bug fixes and performance improvements 3. New improved layouts”. Items two and three are boilerplate that could sit on any update. Item one is not: it ties this build to a specific live tournament, which is what a team writes when it is still working on the product rather than leaving a listing to sit.
A footnote for anyone reproducing our work: Odibets is one of the developer accounts in our sweep
where Apple’s entity=software expansion returns nothing, so we look this listing up by its own
identifier instead. That is a quirk of Apple’s API, not a signal about the operator.
Who this is for
If this app appears in your App Store, two things before you deposit: check your iOS version against the requirement above, then compare the seller name on the listing against the entity Odibets names in its own terms. Both should read Kareco Holdings Limited, which is what the regulator’s register says — a three-way match between the store, the terms and the register is the most any reader can practically verify.
If your App Store is set anywhere else, the app is not available to you, and a VPN does not change that: your storefront follows your Apple Account, not your traffic. What changing your App Store country does and does not do.
We have not installed this app, opened an account, or placed a bet. Everything above is store metadata and registers we could or could not retrieve. How we verify.
