Gal Sport Betting – better known as GSB, is a Ugandan sports betting operator founded in 2010 and headquartered in Kampala. The company started as a land-based bookie (currently operating over 100 locations across the country), and since 2013, it started accepting bets online as well. The platform it runs on is quite straightforward and more importantly – quite versatile. Aside from betting on sports and virtual sports, you will also be able to play casino games and live games, and even Keno. For the purposes of this review, however, we are going to solely on the sports side of things. We will first show you how to gain access to the platform and then, the bonuses you can expect as a Ugandan player. Then we are going to have a look at the sports betting options on offer here. And before we call it a day, we will answer the most common questions in regard to the sports betting platform of GSB.
Signing up for a New Account with GSB Uganda
Before you make your first bet at GSB and make use of its bonuses for that matter, you would need to sign up for a new account. It will only take you a minute or two and to start with that, visit the sports betting platform and click the Join button. Next, you will be required to provide your phone number along with your password, name and country of residence. Given that GSB is a licensed operator, it will also ask for your NIN. After you provide everything required, you will be granted access and you will be ready to start.
GSB Uganda Sports Betting Bonuses
GSB may not be the best place to look for bonuses and free play, but the bookie still has a few aces up his sleeve. There is a big starting offer on one hand and on the other, there are free bets for loyal players, accumulator insurance, and more. Want to know more? Further down you can find all promotions along with the most crucial T&Cs you should keep in mind before playing with bonus money.
Starting Match Bonus
GSB’s starting offer for new Ugandan players is a 100% match bonus up to UGX 500,000. To get the bonus, you would have to meet the following requirements – stake the amount of your deposit at least 3x at bets with a minimum of 5 sections each of odds of at least 1.50. Once you meet the requirements, you will get 100% on top of the money you have put in. From that point on, everything you make out of it will be added to your real-money balance and you will be ready to cash out.
Sports Loyalty Bonus
Occasionally, GSB rolls out loyalty bonuses, which in return grant free bets based on your daily performance. The exact terms may vary but in most cases, the longer you bet a certain amount or more on a daily basis, the bigger the free bet bonus you are going to receive. Should you receive a free bet, it will be in your account for only 3 days so make sure to make use of it. Free bets have no staking requirements attached, are non-refundable, and don’t get paid out with eventual winnings. You should bear in mind however that you would have to make stakes at odds of 1.50 or more in order to use them.
Combo Bet Insurance
GSB knows the disappointment of a single selection failing a winning combo bet and offers a solution. Unlike other sports operators who pay the amount you have bet, GSB can pay back times that. To qualify for the offer, you would have to make at least 2 selections and lose just one. The size of the amount paid back on the other hand is based on the odds. Here is how it works:
- Odds of 25+ – 1 x stake
- Odds of 45+ – 2 x stake
- Odds of 60+ – 3 x stake
- Odds of 90+ – 5 x stake
- Odds of 450+ – 10 x stake
- Odds of 750+ – 50 x stake
Sports Jackpots
GSB is home to some of the biggest sports betting jackpots in all of Uganda. We are talking about GSB Super 14 and GSB Super 7, offering to the most skillful punters UGX 165,000,000 and UGX 300,000 respectively. To get a winning chance, you would have to stake UGX 2,000 or more (1X2) on the preselected games. In the first case, you would have to guess 14/14 games plus 5 reserve games, and in the second – 7/7 pre-selected matches plus 2 reserve games. If you ace all of them, you win the jackpot if not. If on the other hand, you miss three matches in both competitions, there are consolation prizes.
Sports Betting Options
The number of sports on offer at GSB is rather modest – a notch over 10. At the same it, it is quite unlikely that there is a sport that you will be missing. Aside on football and basketball – by far the most popular disciplines here, you will be able to bet on tennis too as well as on marshal arts, ruby, handball, table tennis and more. All things considered, the only fans that can be disappointed are those of motor and electronic sports. Everything else important is included. The choice of events is quite well-sorted-out as well and you can find leading championships like Premier League, and Champions League as well as the German Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Seria A, and many more.
The number of markets is decent – up to 200 in the football category, dropping to up to 100 for live betting. And as far as live betting is concerned, the focus is on football and basketball, which can be disappointing for many. There is no live streaming either – another reason for disappointment, but at the very least, GSB offers cashback for a good chunk of the most popular sports and events.
