Betika gave away free money allowing Kenyans to really mark Madaraka Day!
Betika – one of Kenya’s leading betting sites- allowed it’s bettors to earn free money owing to a system lapse that occurred on Tuesday, June 1. The hashtag #BetikaHeist trended on social media platforms throughout the material day with followers urging each other to profit from the glitch.

“Those ones saying it’s not yet Madaraka Day! Have you tried sending SMS with the word ProjectX500 to 29090,” one bettor tweeted.
“Kumbe hii kitu ni real. Nawapenda sana betika (This free bonus from Betika is real. I love you Betika),” another added.
The company responded to the system glitch by wishing Kenyans a happy Madaraka Day.
“Leo nayo mmetuwahi na hiyo #BetikaHeist wadau. Hata kama hamkutwambia ni sawa tu, Happy Madaraka Day!
“You caught us off guard today. Anyways, allow us to wish you a Happy Madaraka Day,” a statement by the firm read.
