For Kenyan Premier League matches, Swiftbet offers specialized markets like Mashemeji derby specials with boosted odds on Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards fixtures.
Accumulator builders can combine up to 40 selections across different leagues and matches. A typical weekend accumulator might include five Premier League games, three La Liga fixtures, and two Champions League matches—all in one bet slip. Accumulator insurance protects 5+ leg bets; if one selection loses, Swiftbet refunds your stake up to KES 5,000.
Bet builder functionality lets you create custom bets within single matches. Combine outcome, goalscorer, corners, and cards into one market with enhanced odds. For example: Manchester United to win, Bruno Fernandes to score, over 9.5 corners, and 3+ yellow cards—all in one bet at combined odds instead of separate singles.

Understanding Bet Types
Single bets wager on one outcome—simplest form with straightforward odds. A KES 1,000 bet at 2.50 odds returns KES 2,500 if successful. Accumulators combine multiple selections where all must win; odds multiply together for potentially massive returns. Three selections at 2.00 odds each create a combined 8.00 accumulator.
System bets provide insurance against single failures in multi-leg wagers. A Trixie covers three selections with four bets: three doubles plus one treble. Even if one selection loses, you still win on the successful doubles. System bets cost more upfront but offer partial returns on near-misses.
Live betting allows wagers after matches start with continuously updating odds. If a favorite concedes first, their odds drift from 1.50 to 2.20—offering value for those confident in comebacks. Cashout becomes available during live matches, letting you secure profits before final whistles or cut losses on struggling bets.
