Throne Bet is a sportsbook that was registered in Tanzania in 2015. The company operates under the license and regulation of The Gaming Board of Tanzania. This African bookmaker is in a class of its own when it comes to the mode of its operation.
This is an off-line betting bookie which means that you cannot place bets online. The company, therefore, does not have an online betting site or a smartphone app where punters can place their bets. Bets are placed at the company’s physical branches spread across Tanzania.
This approach to the bookie’s betting operations is very unpopular with punters. Though the company is doing very well in Tanzania, most of its customers still feel that it should go online.
According to the ThroneBet official website, plans are underway to start online operations. This is good news for customers who must visit physical company branches to place their bets and collect winnings. Online operations will increase the number of customers and improve the company’s performance in terms of revenue.
Throne Bet’s Features
The Throne Bet Tanzania’s website does not serve the purpose of online betting whatsoever. Punters cannot, therefore, open and manage betting accounts on the site. You cannot create and edit betting slips on the site. The site exists solely for the purpose of providing information to its customers. Such information includes the games of the day, the odds, scores, results, and promotions among others.
The website is very easy on the eye and its components are neatly arranged. The home page features a few colors including dark blue and white for the background. Texts appear in black, white and yellow. The top menu bar contains only 9 items including the home tab, about us and contact tabs. This simple arrangement makes it very easy for customers and visitors to navigate the site.
Throne Bet Tanzania: Bonuses and Promotion
The platform has very little to offer when it comes to bonuses and promotions. This could be attributed to its online absence when it comes to bets placement, accounts creation, and management. Promotional bonuses offered by competitors are online-based; like new account opening offers.
The company, however, offers a bonus over the profit earned depending on the number of events you have on your bet-slip. The higher the number of events, the higher the percentage of the bonus over the profit, for example:
- 5% bonus is paid for every bet slip with 6 events
- 10% bonus is paid for every bet slip with 7 evens
- 15% bonus is paid for every bet slip with 8 events
- 20% bonus is paid for every bet slip with 9 events

Withdrawing Winnings
Payments are made immediately or within 3 days after the last event on the betting slip is concluded. Winnings are collected from the physical branches where the tickets were bought and within 60 days of winning.
Failure to collect the payment within that time renders the winning ticket invalid. You must present the original betting slip to collect the win.
Match Fixtures
This site offers its customers over 300 sporting fixtures every single day. The fixtures mostly feature football matches though other sports like baseball, tennis, basketball, rugby, and volleyball are also featured. From the 300+ sporting fixtures, the company offers more than 100 betting odds.
Football takes a lion share of these odds; you will find about 60 odds assigned to football while all other sports share the remaining 40 odds. All the day’s fixtures and odds can be found on the company’s website or at the physical company branches spread across Tanzania. Game results, including live results, can also be found either on the website or at the branches.
Offered Markets
Throne Bet Tanzania offers a variety of markets, most of which are similar to the ones offered by other sports betting firms. In addition, however, the company offers some markets that are only exclusive to them. Examples of the common markets offered include:
- The full-time 1×2 market
- The full-time double chance 1× 12 ×2 market
- The total goals market
- The half-time goals market
Examples of markets exclusive to Throne Bet include:
- W1 – Home will win first half and second half, separately
- S1 – Home team will win at full time and away will not score
- 1&3+ – Home will win at full-time and total number of goals at the game will be 3 or more
Placing Bets
Placing a bet here is a very tedious affair as it involves visiting one of the company’s physical branches. This has made the company lose a lot of potential customers, especially the millennials. Millennials constitute the majority of bettors in any population. This group of young people is accustomed to doing everything on their smart-phones and computers.
When you visit a Throne Bet outlet, you buy a ticket, or tickets, for the available fixtures. Available fixtures are displayed on the branches’ screens even though you can still get them from the company website. To save your time at the center, you can check up the day’s fixtures on the company website and visit the branch with made mind. Once you buy the ticket, you wait for the results.
Company Branches
Throne Bet currently boasts of 37 branches spread across Tanzania. These branches are listed on the company’s website. Bettors have to make trips to these branches to place their bets and collect their winnings.
Conclusion
Offline sports betting companies are very rare, especially in this digital age. Although they may not be the favorite for many, the company has managed to claim its own fair share of the market in Tanzania. The company offers its punters lucrative odds which are in-house generated by the company’s team of statisticians and mathematicians.
Despite being an offline bookie, Throne Bet Tanzania offers its bettors a bonus over their profit depending on the number of events on their betting slip. Bets are placed from the company’s 37 locations where winnings are also paid out.
