Helabet is a relative newcomer to the online betting scene (founded in 2019) and is already making some noise across Africa. Now available in Uganda, it brings its quite competitive setup known from some popular Russian venues, having it fully tailored to the local market. In particular, you can use shillings and mobile payments to enjoy an international casino experience with a local flavor. There’s a lot on offer here and here is our take on all of that, what’s working, and where it could go a little further to win over Ugandan bettors.
Helabet Slot Games
Now, let’s talk about slots and casino games, because who doesn’t love a good slot game? Helabet has a pretty decent lineup in this department, touting very popular titles from developers such as Mancala, SmartSoft Gaming, and Betsoft. We did manage to pick out a few well-known faves: “Code of Fortune” and “Multi Hot 5.” Both the new and the experienced slotter should find these interesting enough and the payouts appealing.
The casino also categorizes games by type, so you have collections that help you explore things easily. It is a tiny feature, but when you are dealing with this many options, it makes a difference. You aren’t going to be stuck with endless scrolling, trying to find something to play, it is more like having your favorite playlists ready to go.
Live Casino
The live casino–now that’s where it gets to feel like real action. Helabet has this section pretty well-stocked, with a range of big-name providers such as 88Mojo, SA Gaming, and XPG. Here, one will find popular live games, including BigBang Roulette, Baccarat C07, and Dragon Tiger Dio. Every game has its unparalleled feel and appeals to a different style of betting. Whether you’re in it to win big or just for a little flutter, you’re covered.
And then, of course, there is the live dealer touch that gives the games a ring of authenticity. You know that feeling when you’re on that hot streak, the dealer right there with you? That’s what Helabet captures: it’s as close to the casino floor as you can get without leaving your couch.
Other Casino Games
The Games category of Helabet is a virtual playground for those looking for the usual casino vibe but with special twists. You’ve got fast-paced games, you’ve got brain teasers, and you’ve got slots with enough charisma to appeal to even the pickiest of us.
Take Mafia Riches as a typical example. A mobster-themed title, replete with shady special characters (symbols) and that retro feel from generally all crime dramas. It is not about base-game wins. It’s about the bonus round which can surely knock one out if luck permits.
Then, there is Plinko. Remember that game on TV when you would watch a chip bounce down some board, heart in your throat, in anticipation of landing on that jackpot slot? Well, Helabet’s version does little to differ in nerves and addiction. We went as far as believing we “strategized” our chip drops. Let us be realistic here, pure luck is what it is.
Heads or Tails is one bit of low-stakes fun. You get to toss a virtual coin here and see where it lands. It’s simple but strangely satisfying. This reminded us of tossing coins in a bar, deciding who pays for the next round–although obviously not as painful for your wallet.
Overall, it’s a solid lineup, perfect for quick dives into fun or hours of trying your luck.
Helabet Bingo Games
If you are a fan of Bingo or just Bingo-curious, Helabet has you sorted. Colorful themes, fast-paced gameplay, and twists included from top developers make it something way more than your grandmother’s bingo hall ever could.
One of the major options is Instant Bingo by G.Bingo. This one is all about instant thrills–no waiting for rounds that drag on and on. You choose your numbers, and just like that-instant results. That’s just what today’s attention spans call for fast action. And if that weren’t enough, the bright visuals and groovy soundtrack top it all off.
FLG Games brings a classic bingo feel to this classic-style game of bingo, complete with straight-ahead gameplay that fans of this genre will just love. It’s one of those types of games where you can kick back, grab a cup of coffee, and see how the numbers stack up while still holding onto that competitive edge.
Then there is Bingo Showall by Zitro, which ramps it up with interaction and bonus rounds. This game incorporates bingo with some slot elements: multipliers and wild numbers add layers of strategy to the number-matching. It’s one of those games where you might find yourself fist-pumping when that lucky number hits.
Bonuses and Promotions
Now, let’s sort out this bonus situation without getting too mired in all the numbers. Helabet tosses out a decent welcome package for new players–cash and free spins over the first deposits. As usual, though, there’s a rollover. In this case, it’s 35x.
But with its cashback offers and VIP program, things get genuinely exciting. One of the more unique bonuses we came across has got to be their “Free Internet Data” offer. Yes, you read that right. In an age where every piece of data counts, Helabet just gives you that little bit of extra connectivity to keep you in the game. Nice touch if you ask us.
Now, here’s the thing to watch out for–all bonuses have terms around particular odds or betting sums you must satisfy before you can actually withdraw. Fair play, to be sure, but certainly worth taking a gander at so you aren’t surprised later on down the line.
Mobile Experience
Living in a world where literally everyone has an eyeball attached to their phones, Helabet wisely chose to focus on mobile accessibility. There is an Android app, super easy to navigate. Though there is no iOS app yet, the mobile-optimized website gets the job done for iPhone users so that nobody gets left out.
It’s designed with the user in mind: be it to check odds, track your bet history, or hop into a live event–all quick and seamless. For Uganda, a mobile-first market, this focus on mobile betting is a smart move that lets users bet at any moment or place if the mood strikes.
How to Register
Registration at Helabet is as simple as possible—no jumping through hoops. What is more, you have several options here: to sign up either by phone, email, or social media, and with just a click for impatient ones. We like that touch, they realize not everybody wants to go through the same routine when signing up. What is more important here however is that you can set UGX as your currency right from the start.
Payment Options
When it comes to paying for bets with Helabet, it seems pretty clear they’ve given some thought to what’s going to work best for Ugandan users. Mobile options are accounted for, with Airtel and MTN Uganda both coming aboard. That makes it very easy, as those without traditional bank accounts but with a need for an easy way of funding their accounts would find this quite simple. To those who are more into digital wallets or even crypto, the casino has options like Perfect Money, Jeton Wallet, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
One thing we like is that the transactions are processed 24/7, so no waiting until business hours to get your cash. As far as most deposits and withdrawals don’t carry any fees, the fine print does mention that you do need to place bets equivalent to your deposits, or else things don’t go very smoothly on the withdrawal front. A little nudge from Helabet to keep you active, nothing too restrictive, though.
