You can text search for bets on the left sidebar or click on one of the suggested quick picks for popular events at any given time. Below is the complete sports list on the main page's left side. In the center, you'll see the highlights of the bets above the last-minute bets, while the current live events are shown on the right below the coupon.
After logging in, you will see your main wallet and available balance totals in the title bar. Hovering over your name will display options to deposit, log out, or visit the “My Account” page.

SportPesa Mobile​

The mobile site is fully optimized to work with both tablets and smartphones. It lets you bet on the go from anywhere using mobile Internet or Wi-Fi. You will find that all sports and markets are displayed in a user-friendly format, making it easy to bet on mobile devices.

SMS Betting​

The SMS betting feature is in demand among Kenyan users. The fact is that you do not need an Internet connection and a smartphone. A regular push-button phone is enough. At first glance, it may seem challenging to make the right combination because the commands consist of many letters and numbers. However, if you understand, betting via SMS is very simple.
To place a bet, you will need the event number. You can also find it by SMS or the official website. Next, compose a team and send a message to 79079. Let's see how to place single and accumulator bets.

Single Bet​

For a single bet, make a command like 1111#2#300, where 1111 is the event ID, 2 is your choice of winner, and 300 is the bet amount. If you correctly made the SMS request, the system will accept the bet and send you a confirmation, in which you will see the potential winnings and your current balance.

Accumulator Bet​

Many experienced players prefer to make accumulators because this increases the potential winnings. You will also need IDs for all events for this type of bet. Compose a command like 1111#2#2222#1#3333#2#500 where 1111, 2222, 3333 are the game IDs, 2, 1.2 is your choice of winner, and 500 is the stake in Kenyan shillings. If you did everything right, the system would send a confirmation with the potential winnings and your current balance.

Conclusion​

Using the SportPesa service is simple and pleasant, and the possibility of SMS betting will help you not to miss the events you need, even in the absence of the Internet. The platform is generally inferior to the market leaders, but it is worth the attention of Kenyan bettors, who will find many exciting offers.
