Best betting companies in Uganda

Our rating presents you with the best bookmakers in Uganda at the moment. We have compiled this ranking by analyzing several important parameters of the sports betting platform. Next, we will briefly introduce you to the ten best bookmakers in Uganda. If you want to know more about them, you can read our review of each operator.

Betfair

Betfair is one of the largest online gambling operators in the world, standing out for offering match betting and exchange betting. Side bets are bets offered by other bookmakers when a player bets against a banker. Exchange bets are made between players, and the gaming platform only acts as an intermediary, charging a commission for doing so. For many experienced bettors, this is the best system for betting because the odds are set by the users themselves.

Pokerstars Sport

We are in front of the bookmaker's company of one of the best poker rooms in the world, obviously Pokerstars. This poker room has been a favorite of millions of players and the organizer of the best online poker tournaments for years. Their bookmaker maintains the quality of their poker room by bringing all of their gambling experience to betting so that their customers can place the best sports bets.

William Hill

William Hill is the largest bookmaker in the UK, which is the home of sports betting, so there is little else to add to the representation of this bookmaker. It is one of the giants of the industry and one of the best sports betting products that players can use because of their variety, quality and customer support.

How to choose the best one?

There is no perfect bookmaker for all bettors. Every bettor, by virtue of his way of betting, can find the bookmaker that suits him best, but that does not mean that this bookmaker is perfect for another bettor who bets differently. When choosing a bookmaker, the user should consider important points such as its reliability, experience, quality of odds, quality of customer service, types of sports and bets on which it offers its services, deposit and withdrawal systems, etc..,

In our opinion, to begin with, the main points to pay attention to when choosing a bookmaker are its odds and the range of sports betting.

 

Below is a brief description of the points you should pay attention to when choosing a bookmaker(s):

 

• Ease of use: You should evaluate the usability and navigation of the bookmaker's website, paying special attention to how easy it is to find and place your sports bets.
• Margin of odds: You should pay attention to the quality of the odds offered by the bookmaker. The lower the margin the bookie leaves on each market, the easier it is for the bettor to win in the long run. If the bookmaker has very low payouts, it is much harder for the bettor to win in the long run. The payout can be defined as the amount of money the bookie gives back in each market, the higher the payout, the lower the commission the bookie keeps on that market.
• Betting bonuses: Betting bonuses are another important point for many users, and there are many operators with interesting bonuses. It is important to remember that sportsbooks are not allowed to offer welcome bonuses in Uganda, but they can offer bonuses to existing users.
• Types of bets: For many users, it is important that the bookmaker offers many different types of bets, not just the most common bets on the most popular sports.
• Live betting: Live or real time betting is very popular among players and is a must these days. All the best online bookmakers have a live betting section, but not all of them offer the same quality and service. If you like to bet live, you should consider this option before choosing a bookmaker.
• Deposits/withdrawals: The ability to easily make deposits and withdrawals is very important to users, both in terms of speed of service and the variety of methods by which these transactions can be made. Currently, all bookmakers offer many options for such transactions.
• Support: Normally, the bettor does not need the bookmaker's support, but when a problem or question arises, it is very nice to get quick and effective help from the bookmaker. Choose a bookmaker with a good support team.
• Age: This may not be the deciding factor, as there are new products that have excellent quality, but obviously experience is a degree, and among the best online bookmakers this statement is also true in many cases.
• User reviews: Other users can rate bookmakers, so considering the experiences of other bettors is something that can help you in choosing a bookmaker.

Payment methods at bookmakers

The best online bookmakers have several payment methods that allow you to make deposits and withdrawals with complete comfort and maximum security. Most of them, or most bookmakers, do not charge a commission on both deposits and withdrawals. Generally, in order to make a withdrawal using any method, the previous deposit must have been made using the same method due to security issues.

 

Below you will find a brief description of the main payment methods currently available at bookmakers in Uganda.

 

• Credit or debit cards: this is currently the most common and easiest way to make a deposit at a bookmaker's company. Completely instant and commission-free with almost all operators. You only need to have a card and make a deposit, just like with any other online purchase. Withdrawing money from the card is just as easy, but usually takes a few days.
• Virtual Cards: This is another option, if your bank has one, for depositing money. It works just like a physical card, but it's a one-time use card or a card that you can top up with the amount you want.
• Bank transfer: You simply have to make a transfer from your bank account to the account number provided by the bookmaker, with some information in the concept, such as your name, ID or username. The disadvantage of this system is that it can delay receiving your money for a few days. Withdrawal by transfer is also easy and you will receive your money within 1-3 days.
• Electronic Wallets: Electronic wallets are a convenient and very popular system among regular bettors. Their big advantage is that they allow you to quickly and conveniently transfer money between bettors. In order to use an electronic wallet, you need to open an account and make a deposit. This deposit can be made by card, transfer, or you can get money from another e-wallet account. Once you have the money, you can immediately deposit it into an account at any bookmaker's company. Withdrawals through these wallets are usually very fast, taking in some cases even a few minutes or a few hours. From the e-wallet account you can transfer money to your bank account for a small fee. The peculiarity of these wallets is that they have their own card, which allows you to withdraw money from ATMs and have it immediately available. The most popular electronic wallets are Skrill, Neteller, Paypal, and Ecopayz.
• Prepaid Cards: Another common and convenient way to make deposits is the Paysafecard, which is available at many establishments. You can check their website for the points of sale closest to you. The Paysafecard consists of a 16-digit PIN code which you must enter at the bookmaker's company and the amount you purchased at the point of sale will automatically appear in your account. You can withdraw money this way, but in this case you will have another Paysafecard, not cash. Few bookmakers in Uganda allow withdrawals using this method. There are other prepaid cards that work in a similar way, such as Entropay or Neosurf, but they are much less used in Uganda.
• Physical Premises: There are currently several online bookmakers that allow deposits and withdrawals through their physical premises. If you use an online bookmaker that also has physical premises in your city, you can take advantage of this method, which provides proximity and speedy disposal of the money in your bookmaker account.

 

 

As you can see, the options for depositing and withdrawing money at the best bookmakers in Uganda are numerous, and in each case you need to choose the one that best suits your needs. For transferring money between different sports betting platforms, without a doubt, our advice is to use e-wallets and transfer money to your bank account directly from the bookmaker, which will save you on the fees charged by the wallets.

Online betting bonuses

One of the most important aspects when choosing a bookmaker are the bonuses and promotions they offer, as this way you can start betting with extra money or with some extra features.

There are different types of bonuses, and it is important to have a basic understanding of how they work so that you can always choose the best option. Of course, you can take advantage of these bonuses from different online operators, which will help you increase your bankroll more easily. Let's take a brief look at the two main types of bonuses available:

 

• Rollover first deposit bonuses: in these bonuses, the bookmaker adds extra money to your deposit, and both the bonus and your deposit are subject to certain release conditions. Generally, you must bet a certain number of times the amount of your deposit.

 

• Freebets: this bonus is also very common and gives you a free bet, usually if you lose your first bet. It is insurance on the first bet, which is refunded by the operator in case of failure.

Keep in mind that bookmakers are not currently allowed to offer welcome bonuses to new users. To qualify for any type of bonus or promotion, a user must have been registered with the bookmaker for at least 30 days and have a verified account.
