AbaBet, or Aba Sports Bet, isn’t trying to be some flashy multi-sport betting powerhouse. In fact, it is quite the opposite: no-frills, football-only, and to the point. Having started as a betting house in Kampala, the bookie went online in 2021 and has been on Ugandans’ mobile devices ever since. It’s important to note that it solely focuses on one thing and one thing only: football. Hence, if you are looking for a simple betting venue for your Android, sans distractions, this may just be the bill. But do not look for any extras or broad sports offerings.
Mobile Accessibility and Usability
Let’s get this out of the way: AbaBet doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app. Unlike other bookies, they haven’t developed an application either for iOS or Android devices, and that reflects the rather basic approach of the website. The site is optimized for mobile browsers, hence you can access the site from any device without taking up your storage. With any Android or iPhone device, just open your browser, navigate to the site, and voilà. Still, if you need help getting started, check out our quick-start guide to AbaBet.
The layout is basic, no-nonsense, and quite easy to work your way around – enough to get you onto a bet slip without too much back and forth. It’s a mobile-friendly setup, but nothing out of the ordinary, really. If you’re looking for something slick and app-based, then this isn’t it. Instead, AbaBet’s mobile experience mirrors the simplicity of their original Kampala setup: direct, focused, and bereft of any inessential features.
Football-Only Sportsbook
Here is where the identity of AbaBet becomes clear: all football, always. Unlike most bookies that carry a sprawling catalog of sports, the operator sticks to the guns: football, and a very specific niche at that. You won’t find basketball, tennis, or horse racing here. It’s just football leagues and tournaments, both local and international, catering to Ugandan punters who pretty much know what they want to bet on.
The options for betting are about as bare-bones as the overall platform. You have your standard match results, over/under goals, half-time/full-time options, and a few others such as double chance bets. The simplicity might work for punters who strictly follow football, but if you’re looking for anything more than that market selection-wise, then this will be a little constrictive. In regards to what it is, AbaBet certainly covers the basic necessities, but by no means whatsoever is this a comprehensive sportsbook.
Bonuses and Free Bet Points
Now, about the promotions, AbaBet likes to keep it lean. There are no huge welcome bonuses here, no big flashing promotions, or fat weekly offers. Instead, it utilizes something called “free bet points.” Simply put, they collect when you make a bet, and when you have enough of them, you can swap those for free bets. The standard loyalty feature adds some minor value to regular customers. Nothing to impress anyone. In order to redeem, once points become available, just tap on “Redeem Free Bet Points” in the menu, and they’ll be added to the balance.
This sort of feature might pay off if you are already an avid bettor, but it hardly competes with the more generous promotions on other sites. For a market where welcome bonuses and offers are ongoing, AbaBet’s approach is light, to say the least.
Customer Support
If you took everything on AbaBet as minimalist, the customer support would be no different. You can reach them through an in-site contact form by filling in your name, email, and phone number, followed by your message. Wait for your response. If you prefer direct contact, there are phone numbers for MTN and Airtel-0200307020 for MTN and 0323020470 for Airtel. That is pretty much it: no live chat, no instant support options, so you are more or less left with either phone support or the web form if you need help.
