Sarah Mutanu, a blogger at likebets got an opportunity to interview him so that he could tell us his story. Below is a transcript of that interview.
SARAH: So with me, today, is Felix who won some gifts from likebets, he seems a very happy guy, uh so Felix um. Felix, where do you study?
FELIX: Masadomina.
SARAH: You study in Masadomina where is Masadomina?
FELIX: Masadomina is in Kakamega county.
SARAH: So, how did you find out about likebets?
FELIX: Actually, I found likebets when I was just scrolling on Facebook, I got curious then I clicked on it to see. I registered myself on the site via Facebook and they offered me a storable bonus of 5000 betcoins. SARAH: Oh so you received 5000 bet coins, tell us about the moment you won how did you feel when you won?
FELIX: Actually, I was very happy about it.
SARAH: What motivated you to join likebets, what gave you the moral to join the platform?
FELIX: I was a bit curious during the first moment I accessed the platform. So, when I discovered there are gifts, I joined and started betting for free. The first time I won a big amount of those betcoins, I can't remember the exact amount of betcoins it was, I went to their shop and it was enough to buy me a flash drive so I bought it. A few days later I again bought a smartphone, the Redmi Xiaomi 4A and they wrote me and told me that they are going to deliver the items by the post, and I was very happy!
SARAH: So tell me, will you continue playing on likebets?
FELIX: Yeah, I am still continuing.
SARAH: Ok um, can you give some tips to some of our players, I mean how should they wager so that they can also be able to win like you? what can you tell other players in the game?
