With the new women-only world record set during the London Marathon on Sunday, Dafabet Kenya have refunded all losing bets with up to Sh100 betting stake.

Dafabet Kenya launched a new product for athletics fans, exclusive only to Kenya and promised to refund to their customers up to Sh100 stake should the world record be broken.

Mary Keitany (pictured) did scorch the London course to lower Paula Radcliffe’s record set in 2005. Keitany posted 2:17.01 to erase Radcliffe’s 2:17.56.

“We are happy to announce that we have refunded all loosing bets with up to a maximum betting stake of Ksh100. This is only but the beginning. Dafabet hopes and plans to do better things for the people of Kenya,” said Dafabet’s Louis Watts yesterday.

Dafabet, Asia’s largest betting company and now in Kenya aims to make the market better for customers through instant payouts, live in play betting, best odds, bonuses, daily and weekly jackpots.
