Hope Ligami, a serial gambling winner, a Kenyan woman gaining attention for her remarkable gambling success, has reportedly secured three significant wins across multiple betting platforms, raising eyebrows and fuelling online speculation.
As a brand ambassador for 22Bet, a prominent online betting and casino platform, Ligami’s story has captured the public’s imagination, blending luck, strategy, and savvy promotion.
According to sources, a perennial lottery winner recently won Ksh250,000 playing Shabiki’s Aviator game.
Her winning streak doesn’t end there—she is also said to have claimed a car from Mozzart Bet and Ksh50,000 from LOTTO, prompting debates about whether her success stems from extraordinary luck or something more. “How lucky can one be?” wrote a netizen.
As a 22Bet brand ambassador, Ligami promotes the platform’s offerings, which include sports betting, live casino games, and football-themed promotions like the Football Mania campaign, where users can win prizes such as a BMW X6.
However, sources indicate that she plays “Urban Games”, saying, “Hope Ligami must be the VIP of the Vegas Nairobi edition—three jackpots in a single year? The odds she’s beating would make even the algorithm sweat. Unless she’s cracked the cheat code or has divine insider tips from the gods of gambling, this isn’t luck—it’s statistical witchcraft.”
Other netizens tipped top blogger Cyprian Nyakundi, saying, ” About this lady Hope Ligami… She’s not alone in the con game; the real crook behind her is her husband, one Dan Ododo. They used to work together at the Faulu Microfinance Eldoret branch.
“She left the bank, but I think he still works there up to now. He is the go-between for these gambling companies and the pretenders who we see on TV and other media celebrating fake winnings.
“He has always kept himself in the shadows and only uses proxies for his con game in cohorts with betting companies. The truth is, some of these so-called winners are paid as little as 3K just to pose for the cameras.
“If you dig deep, you’ll find out she has also been winning under different names in different companies. Kenyans have been conned for too long, and these crooks must be stopped.”
Critics claim that betting companies now hire people to pose for fake winnings to draw a large audience to cash in. Hope Ligami is alleged to be among those racketeering in betting firms.
Ligami’s role involves leveraging her social media presence, particularly on Facebook, to showcase 22Bet’s seamless blend of sportsbook and casino features, appealing to football fans and gamers alike.
Her reported wins have only amplified her visibility, though some online commentators question the odds of such frequent success across different platforms.
The betting industry in Kenya, a growing market, continues to thrive, with platforms like 22Bet capitalising on the country’s passion for sports and gaming.
