The return of sporting activities around has been a reprieve for not only football fans all over the world but for punters who were left desolate after several months of inactivity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, a section of football fanatics still misses going out to various entertainment joints to hang out with friends as they watch football matches which is still not possible due to Government restriction of closing bars and the 9 PM - 4 AM curfew.
Entertainment spots, bars and lounges had their hopes of resuming business dashed with last month's presidential address that maintained their continued closure.
The betting firm Odibet said it has launched a live stream and analysis feature on its website.
The feature is set to offer sports fanatics information and analysis of games that are available on its platform. The new development will also enhance the users betting experience.
"We are happy to launch this new feature that will help sports lovers enjoy the several games that are being played in the various leagues at the comfort of their homes," said Odibets Country Marketing manager Aggrey Sayi during the launch.
"Kenyans love sports and this is the main reason why we decided to launch the live stream and analysis feature, so no going out to watch matches during curfew hours," Mr Sayi told journalists.
Early this year, the firm ventured into virtual betting. Virtual online betting is availed by some bookies, in Kenya and the world, where customers can place bets on computer-generated games that function like real matches with actual teams and players.
