Secretbet Review That Has Ended My Betting Hiatus

Decided to quit betting a while ago, since I couldn’t find a Zambian bookie to accommodate my playing style. I like to load some zali on cricket or English footie after payday for a bit of a win-or-die thrill. The local odds are usually atrocious and offshore bookies are a hassle to top up. But saw that new face called Secretbet. And heard rumours that it’ll shake things up in here. Chalo! Decided to give it a go.

Proving Me is Me

I always verify with every bookie before dumping in funds. Since if the KYC gets stuck for some reason, my money stays with me, ha-ha. Secretbet was surprisingly easy in that regard, about 4 hours for my papers, no fuss.

Grabbing The Sign-up Bonus While Was at It

There were casino and bookie sign-up bonuses up for grabs on the Secretbet official website. Chose sportsbook because the English football starts soon, iyeee. And because they give up to ZMW 3000 as the first deposit match, so I got 1200 extra for my 1200.

But I’ll sure spin the reels and fly that plane in Aviator — the Secretbet online casino is there and loaded with 300+ games — didn’t bother counting further.

Betting on Paris vs Spurs and More…

Since Tottenham was conveniently pitted against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup when I was about to bet, I loaded ZMW 300 on a draw (was lucky to catch the 5.02 odds moment). No bonus funds involved to cash out quickly in case I win.

Have a nose for the Spurs’ gimmicks and was confident that they’ll put up a fight, but won’t win in 90 minutes, else they wouldn’t be called Tottenham. Got even more confident when they had a comfortable 2-0 lead. Eksay, they conceded on the 85th and then the second goal 4 minutes into stoppage time!

I also loaded ZMW 230 on TOTO to try that beast. As far as I understand, it’s a unique Secretbet feature, where you have to guess a particular number of events out of the total number offered (varies between 5 and 15 depending on event). Guess all — get a jackpot.

I was one prediction short of a minimal win, boo. Have to know the teams involved to succeed. But this TOTO thing has a certain slot vibe, so I’ll try again next time when more familiar clubs will be in the draw.

Grabbing My Winnings

Did a few more small bets and was in a small net positive, not counting the Spurs’ match win. Used Zamtel to move that zali into my pocket — no fees, no delays. There were also MTN and Airtel Money available. But had a few errands I needed Zamtel for, so the winnings came in handy.

To Be Continued?

I’ll give it an 87% yes. I cashed out, so currently in the big positive. Still have to wager that bonus money. Something more will come out of it, since the EPL season is at the doorstep. And I know a thing or two about that mighty English footie. I played in England (not in the EPL, lol).

Then there is that double Saturday deposit thing. Kind of like a sign-up deposit match, but every Saturday. Makes it well worth dumping in money that day.

There’s also a bonus pyramid, where more wagering overall means bigger cashback. I think it’s tempting, but it will take time to crack to reap the top-tier benefits. So it’s more of an advance in this Secretbet review of mine.

But anyway, I’m ending my betting hiatus, so I’ll get to it.
