Betika's jackpots right now
Betika's Jackpots menu, checked on 25 October 2026, has three jackpots and a results tab:
- Must Be Won. The weekly 15-match jackpot. Its rules are on Betika's Must Be Won page.
- Midweek Jackpot. No open round and no rules on the page when we checked.
- Sababisha. No open round and no rules on the page when we checked.
We are not quoting a stake, game count or prize for Midweek or Sababisha until Betika publishes them again. Older figures for both are all over the internet, and some describe a 17-game Grand Jackpot that is no longer on Betika's menu.
Must Be Won: the rules Betika publishes
- 15 matches, chosen by Betika. You pick home, draw or away for each.
- KES 49 stake.
- KES 50,000,000 jackpot for all 15 correct.
- Matches are usually on Saturday and Sunday.
- If nobody wins, it must be won by the eighth week in a row, so it cannot roll over forever.
- Several winners share the jackpot equally.
- 13 or 14 correct win consolation prizes.
- Double chance is allowed, covering two of the three outcomes on a match.
- Game Pass tokens for playing in consecutive weeks: one after two weeks, two after four, three after six, three at most. All streaks reset when the jackpot is won.
What a win pays after tax
Two things shrink the headline figure: sharing, and the 20% withholding tax on winnings that the Finance Act 2026 brought in from 1 July 2026.
| Winners with 15 correct | Each share | 20% tax | You receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KES 50,000,000 | KES 10,000,000 | KES 40,000,000 |
| 2 | KES 25,000,000 | KES 5,000,000 | KES 20,000,000 |
| 5 | KES 10,000,000 | KES 2,000,000 | KES 8,000,000 |
This assumes the 20% is taken on the whole share. Betika deducts the tax before paying you, and the figure on your Betika statement is the one to trust. To try other numbers of winners, use the betting payout calculator in jackpot-share mode. For the rest of the tax picture, see betting tax in Kenya 2026.
Where to find results
On betika.com, open Jackpots and then Jackpots Results. That is the only result that counts for your ticket. We also log past rounds on our Betika jackpot results page, each one linked to Betika's own result.
Your chances of getting all 15
Each match has three outcomes, so a pure guess on all 15 is 1 in 3¹⁵, which is 1 in 14,348,907. Even if each of your picks had a 50% chance of being right, all 15 right would be 1 in 2¹⁵, or 1 in 32,768, and nobody picks that well week after week. Double chance improves your odds on the matches you use it on; check what the slip costs before you pay.
So treat the KES 49 as the price of an interest in the weekend's football, not as a way to make money.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Betika Must Be Won jackpot work?
You predict 15 pre-selected football matches for a KES 49 stake. Get all 15 right and you win the KES 50,000,000 jackpot. Betika says the matches are usually on Saturday and Sunday, and the jackpot must be won by the eighth week in a row if nobody wins it sooner.
What happens if more than one person gets all 15 right?
Betika says the jackpot is shared equally among everyone with 15 correct.
Are there prizes for 13 or 14 correct?
Yes. Betika says consolation prizes go to 13 and 14 correct out of 15. It does not publish fixed amounts for them on the rules page.
Can I use double chance on the jackpot?
Yes, on Must Be Won. Betika says you can cover two of the three outcomes on a match.
What are Game Pass tokens?
Betika gives them for playing Must Be Won in consecutive weeks: one token after two weeks in a row, two after four, three after six, and no more than three. Every streak resets for everyone when the jackpot is won.
What about the Midweek Jackpot and Sababisha?
Both have tabs on Betika's jackpot page, but when we checked on 25 October 2026 neither had an open round or published rules. Check the slip on betika.com for the game count and stake before you play.
