SportPesa Paybill (Verified Directory Entry)
The official SportPesa Paybill number is 955100. When depositing via M-PESA, go to Lipa na M-PESA, select Pay Bill, enter 955100, and use your SportPesa-registered Safaricom phone number as the account number. Minimum deposit is KES 49, and the typical maximum is KES 70,000 per transaction. A 5% excise duty is deducted before the funds hit your betting wallet.
SportPesa Login (Door Page)
To access your account, visit sportpesa.com and click Login, or dial *955# on your registered Safaricom line. You will need your phone number and the password or USSD PIN you set during registration. Never share your password or M-PESA PIN with anyone claiming to be SportPesa support.
SportPesa Login Not Working? Six-Cause Fix
If you cannot log in, here are the six most common causes and their fixes:
- Wrong Password: Use the “Forgot Password” link on the website to reset it via SMS.
- Account Locked: Too many failed attempts trigger a 24-hour lock. Do not keep guessing; wait it out or contact support.
- Network/Server Down: SportPesa experiences high traffic during Saturday Premier League games. Try again after 15 minutes.
- Wrong SIM: If you are using USSD (*955#), you must use the exact Safaricom SIM you registered with.
- App Cache: If using the app, go to your phone settings, clear the app cache, and try again.
- Browser Issue: If on the website, clear your browser cookies or try using an incognito window.
How to Register a SportPesa Account
You can register online at sportpesa.com/register or by dialing *955#. You must be over 18. You will need your Safaricom number, a secure password, and your Kenyan National ID number. Once registered, you can deposit immediately, but you must complete KYC (uploading your ID and a selfie on the website) before you can withdraw any winnings.
SportPesa App Download (APK vs. Browser)
The SportPesa Android app is available on Google Play or as a direct APK download from their official website. The app gives you faster access to live betting and push notifications. However, if your phone is low on storage or you are on a slow connection, the mobile browser (sportpesa.com) does the exact same job without taking up space. For iPhone users, there is no native iOS app; you must use the mobile browser.
SportPesa Not Working Today? Check Status
If the app or website is unresponsive, it is usually one of three things: scheduled maintenance, a massive traffic spike (like a major derby), or an M-PESA system outage. Before you panic, check Safaricom’s social media for M-PESA downtime. If M-PESA is fine, wait 10 minutes and try the USSD code (*955#), which often stays online when the web servers crash.
How to Deposit to SportPesa
Go to M-PESA > Lipa na M-PESA > Pay Bill. Enter Business Number 955100. Enter your SportPesa-registered phone number as the account. Enter the amount (minimum KES 49) and your M-PESA PIN. The money reflects in your wallet within 1 to 5 minutes. Remember, a 5% tax is deducted upon deposit; sending KES 100 gives you KES 95 in your betting balance.
How to Withdraw from SportPesa
You must complete KYC verification first. To withdraw, send an SMS to 79079 from your registered Safaricom line. The format is WITHDRAW#amount (e.g., WITHDRAW#1000). The minimum withdrawal is KES 200. A 5% withdrawal tax is deducted automatically, so withdrawing 1,000 sends 950 to your M-PESA. Funds typically arrive within 5 to 30 minutes.
Deposit Not Reflecting? Full Fix Path
If your M-PESA was deducted but your SportPesa balance is empty, check your M-PESA SMS. Does the recipient name say “SPORTPESA KENYA”? If it says another name, you paid a scammer—call Safaricom on 100 immediately for a reversal. If the name is correct, wait 5 minutes and refresh your app. If it is still missing, contact SportPesa support on WhatsApp (+254 730 444 444) with your M-PESA transaction code.
Withdrawal Not Received? 5 Fixes
If your withdrawal is missing:
- Check your SMS history for a message from SportPesa confirming the payout.
- Ensure you initiated the withdrawal from your registered SIM, not a secondary line.
- Check if your account is fully KYC-verified; unverified accounts cannot withdraw.
- Confirm your M-PESA inbox isn’t full (which blocks incoming funds).
- Contact support with your withdrawal reference number.
Transaction Charges 2026
The cost of moving money in and out of SportPesa consists of standard M-PESA paybill tariffs (ranging from free to KES 108 depending on the amount) plus the government-mandated taxes. In 2026, you pay a 5% excise on deposits, a 5% excise on withdrawals, and a 20% withholding tax on major winnings. The stake itself (the money you use to place a bet) is not taxed.
Bonus Not Converting?
SportPesa bonuses (like welcome offers or accumulator boosts) usually come with “rollover” requirements. This means you cannot withdraw the bonus money until you have placed bets totaling a certain multiple of the bonus amount (e.g., 5x the bonus) at minimum odds (e.g., 1.50). If your bonus is not converting to withdrawable cash, check the “My Promotions” section in your account to see how much of the rollover requirement you have left to complete.
SportPesa Aviator
Aviator is a popular crash game available in the SportPesa casino section. A multiplier increases from 1.00x upward, and you must click “Cash Out” before the plane flies away. If you wait too long, you lose your stake. The game is powered by a certified Random Number Generator (RNG). Set an auto-cashout feature if you want to play without staring at the screen, and always set a strict session budget.
SportPesa Jackpot Results
SportPesa runs the flagship Mega Jackpot (17 games, KES 99 stake) and the Midweek Jackpot (13 games, KES 49 stake). Results are published immediately after the final whistle of the last game. You can view your results, check if your ticket won a consolation prize (like 13/17 or 14/17), and see the new rollover amount by logging into your account and clicking the “Jackpots” tab.
