Zenit Solutions Limited, the company behind 888starz, appears on the Gambling Regulatory Authority list for the 2025/26 financial year with bookmaker licence 0001297 for www.888starz.co.ke; the public gaming column for it reads Nil.
Both the Kenyan Google Play listing and the Kenyan App Store listing name Zenit Solutions Limited as the publisher, and the Play listing gives a Nairobi address. The GRA, which replaced the BCLB in 2025, handles complaints about licensed operators.

Four deposits carry the 888starz welcome bonus for Kenya: 300% in total, capped at KSh 60,000, rather than one match on a single payment. The offer is stated by the operator in its Google Play listing for Kenya, which also mentions free bets, cashback and a loyalty programme for active sports bettors.
The store page gives no minimum deposit, wagering multiple or time limit for the offer. Open the bonus terms in your account before the first deposit, and plan four separate top-ups, since the full 300% needs all four.

Cashier
888starz deposit with M-Pesa and Airtel Money
Two mobile money routes are named for Kenya, M-Pesa and Airtel Money, and the 888starz Play listing says both are used to top up and to withdraw winnings. The account runs in shillings, so deposits need no conversion.
No paybill number, minimum deposit or withdrawal limit appears in the 888starz store listings. Deposit from the M-Pesa or Airtel line registered in your own name, because winnings go back to the line you funded from.
Spread across four deposits, the welcome bonus rewards four separate M-Pesa or Airtel payments, so time them for the fixtures you plan to bet on in the first weeks.

Kenya Premier League betting is a named feature of the 888starz app, with fixtures, results, team form and the league table next to the odds. The listing names AFC Leopards among the local clubs and also streams key CAF, Premier League and NBA matches.
Markets cover 1X2, GG/NG, over/under, correct score and Bet Builder, placed as single bets or multibets. Outside football the app lists basketball, tennis, rugby, cricket, UFC and Formula 1.
Esports bettors get Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends and FIFA, including live betting while the game runs, so a KPL weekend slip and a CS2 match can sit on one balance.

888starz questions from Kenyan punters
What is the 888starz contact for Kenya?
The Google Play listing gives [email protected] as the support email and an office on Hakati Road, Nairobi 00100. Write from the email linked to your account and add your account ID so support can find it.
How many deposits does the 888starz welcome bonus cover?
The 888starz Kenya welcome bonus is split across the first four deposits, up to 300% in total. Each deposit unlocks its own part, so a single payment collects only a share of the package, and the four top-ups can go through M-Pesa or Airtel Money.
Is 888starz the same as 888sport?
888starz on 888starz.co.ke is run by Zenit Solutions Limited, the company the GRA lists for this brand. 888sport has no entry on the 2025/26 GRA list, so the two names point to separate operators in Kenya.
Can I bet on esports at 888starz?
Yes. The 888starz Kenya app lists esports tournaments with live betting while matches are in play. Esports bets go on the same KSh balance as football, and they can share a multibet with KPL or EPL picks.
