Milestone Games Limited is on the Gambling Regulatory Authority list of licensed operators for 2025/26, with bookmaker licence 0001193. The Google Play listing names the same company as the operator of SportPesa Kenya.

The terms give the local company registration PVT-9XUGA85 and an address at The Chancery, Valley Road, Nairobi. Only people aged 18 and over can open an account, and the terms name the regulator as the next stop for a complaint SportPesa cannot settle.

1. 1SMS GAME to 79079A reply links to the terms
2. 2Reply ACCEPT to 79079Your phone number becomes the username
3. 3Keep the 4-digit PINIt arrives with the paybill number
4. 4Or join onlineRegister Now, then enter the SMS code

Registration by SMS takes two messages to 79079: GAME first, then ACCEPT once you have read the terms. The welcome SMS gives your username, which is your phone number, a 4-digit PIN and the paybill for a first deposit.

Online sign-up sends a registration code to your phone before the account opens. To log in on the site or app, type the phone number as the username plus the web password. Punters who joined by SMS or USSD set that password through the reset link on the login page.

The Mega Jackpot Pro is a weekend coupon of 17 pre-selected matches with prizes for 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 correct out of 17. Each line costs KSh 99, and a prize that nobody wins grows into the next week.

On 27 October 2026 the prize for all 17 correct stood at KSh 137,903,033 for the round closing on 31 October. The midweek Jackpot uses 13 matches, starts at KSh 10,000,000 and pays bonuses for 10, 11 and 12 correct picks.

By SMS, the Mega Jackpot Pro bet starts with MJP# followed by the 17 picks, with 0 for a game you skip; the midweek coupon starts with JP#. Doubles cover up to 10 games on the 17-match coupon, so four doubles cost 16 lines, or KSh 1,584.

Mobile money and bankM-PesaAirtel Money

Business numbers 955100 and 5212121 both take M-Pesa deposits, with the phone number registered on SportPesa as the account number. Airtel Money users pay to 955100 or to the business name SPORTPESA, again quoting the registered number.

Dialling *790# and choosing option 4 brings an M-Pesa prompt for the amount you type. The site and app do the same under Funds, then Deposit, and a reply SMS shows the new S-PESA balance.

SportPesa credits deposits only from the registered line, so money sent from another number, a paybill or a till never reaches your balance. Punters with two SIM cards should register the one that holds their M-Pesa.

2. 2Wait for two messagesOne from 79079, one from your wallet
3. 3Or use the siteWithdraw link at the top right

Withdrawals go back to the mobile money wallet on your account: an SMS of W#1200 to 79079 asks for KSh 1,200, and the site has a Withdraw link at the top right. The format is the same on M-Pesa and Airtel Money, and one request can be pending at a time.

The terms set no daily withdrawal maximum of their own. Amounts above your mobile money limit are paid by bank transfer (EFT), and money deposited but never staked can attract a 10% processing fee. Stake a deposit at least once before you cash it out.

• X-Up early payout
• Goal Rush

Every SportPesa match carries a Game ID, and an SMS bet is that ID, your pick and the stake joined by #: 8692#2#100 backs the away side for KSh 100. A multibet lists several ID and pick pairs before the stake, from 2 up to 50 games.

The reply from 79079 shows the bet ID and the possible payout after tax. Live markets, Aviator and the casino need the app or the website, and SportPesa League fixtures sit under Kenya in the football menu.

For a multibet of three or more legs, every pick at 1.3 or above keeps the Multibet Bonus in play, and the bonus can add up to KSh 50,000,000 on a winning slip.

• Android appYes
• iPhone appYes

The Android app, SportPesa Betting & Casino by Kentech S.L.U., has more than 1 million downloads on Google Play in Kenya and a 4.4 rating from about 16,400 reviews. An iPhone version is on the Kenyan App Store.

The Play listing calls the app data-free for Safaricom and Airtel lines, and one balance covers sports, casino and crash games. A separate casino app and the SP Score app sit in the same Apps menu, and the sports app was last updated on 5 October 2026.

Bets placed in the app follow the same multibet minimum and the same daily caps as SMS and web bets.
