Restricted countries
The bookmaker is only available to residents of Uganda.
Welcome bonus for sport
There is a generous welcome bonus of up to 1,000,000 UGX. To claim it, you only need to make a deposit. There is no welcome bonus code.
You can get up to 100% of the welcome bonus on the sum you deposit if you meet the requirements. The first one is to observe a 10x playthrough. In other words, you’ll only get the bonus if you bet ten times the amount you have deposited.
After you’ve wagered the deposit ten times, you’ll get a bonus amount in instalments of 10% of your first deposit. The odds on your bets have to be 3 or more per selection and there have to be at least 5 selections on your betting slip.
The maximum amount you can bet in this connection is 100,000 UGX. Bets higher than this won’t go toward meeting bonus requirements. You can take advantage of the bonus amount for a year. Until the bonus is depleted, you may not withdraw any funds from your account. If you do, the platform will void the remaining bonus amount.
Slot games providers
Fortebet works exclusively with Apollo Games for its slots.
Payment methods
Only three deposit options are available. You can make a deposit on location at one of the bookmaker’s shops or use Airtel Money or MTN Mobile Money.
How to deposit and withdraw money from your account
To make a deposit at a shop, go down to the nearest one and give the staff your username and the amount of money that you want to deposit. You’ll get a slip when you deposit money at a Fortebet branch, which you need to hold on to. You have to deposit at least 1,000 UGX at a branch, and there is no upper limit.
If you choose to deposit funds via Airtel, Fortebet must register your Airtel number. The minimum and maximum deposit amounts at Airtel are 500 UGX and 5,000,000 UGX. This deposit method is immediate. Standard Airtel Money fees will apply.
If you opt for MTN Mobile Money, your number must be registered with Fortebet as well. The minimum deposit is the same as at Airtel, but the maximum deposit is slightly lower – 4,000,000 UGX. This method is also immediate and standard MTN Mobile Money fees will apply.
If you want to make a withdrawal, you can only do so in person. You must go down to a local shop to obtain any winnings. The minimum withdrawal amount is the same as the minimum deposit at a physical branch. Again, there is no limit to how much you can withdraw.
Before going down to the shop to withdraw, you must initiate a withdrawal request online. You do this under “My Account” at the top right of your screen. When you see the “Cash Out” option appear on your screen, click on it and enter the amount you want to withdraw.
After that, a four-digit code will be sent to the mobile phone number you provided when you signed up with Fortebet. You must give the staff member on location this code as well as your username, after which they will process your payout.
It’s also possible to make deposits through the mobile version of Fortebet via Airtel Money and MTN Mobile Money. The mobile version is user-friendly, but it’s different from the desktop. The layout is slightly difference. The main navigation bar is below the option to register and log in.
Fortebet mobile application for iOS and Android
Fortebet did not have a mobile app for iOS or Android at the time of writing. This is definitely a downside.
Does Fortebet have a land casino?
There are shops in Seeta, Kampala, Bukedea, etc.
Support and live chat
You can contact support by phone at the number 0800 202 202. You can also email any inquiries to them at info@fortebet.ug. They usually reply within 24 hours. If you’re currently abroad, you can contact them via WhatsApp at number +256 776 500 501.
There is no live chat, but you can contact them on Facebook. At the very bottom of the sportsbook’s website, you’ll see a “Facebook” option at the right.
Overall review and rating of Fortebet. Can we trust it?
Fortebet can be trusted because both its casino and its sportsbook are licensed and regulated by The National Lotteries Board of Uganda. This is one of the safest and most secure bookmakers catering to residents of Uganda.
Unfortunately, the site’s design leaves something to be desired, especially the layout. It’s confusing and finding what you need isn’t straightforward. The lack of a mobile app is a big omission, which we hope they are working on.
