Kenyan punters trying to log in to their 9Ubet accounts are being greeted by a maintenance page, with the bookie noting that it looks forward to meeting its customers again. There's no word yet on when the site will be back.

Is the Maintenance Linked to Kenya's Tax and Licensing Situation?.
It's unclear whether the downtime has anything to do with the tax and licensing situation in Kenya.
9Ubet hasn't said why the site is down beyond the maintenance notice, and a maintenance page can simply mean technical work.
Still, the timing is worth noting. The industry has been going through a major shake-up. The Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) replaced the old Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) this year, and all existing licences were set to expire on 24 September 2026, so every operator had to reapply under the new regime.
Operators have also been dealing with disputes over higher licence fees and changes to betting taxes, with some having to suspend their services in Kenya.
What Should 9UBet Customers Do?
If you have an account with 9Ubet, here's what you can do while the site is down:
- Keep checking the site and the bookie's official social media channels for updates.
- Contact customer support if you have money in your account.
- Don't deposit through unofficial paybills or agents, as scammers often take advantage of moments like this.
- Check that any bookie you use is licensed by the GRA before you deposit.
We'll update you as soon as we get any new information from 9Ubet.
