Bet via SMS

How do I Place a bet?
+

You now have an opportunity to predict the outcome of any match available on the SportPesa platform. You can select any betting option from the wide range of markets available on different games and send your bet to 79079.

How do I place a Single Bet?
+

Follow the steps below to place a single bet via sms.

Step 1

SMS to 79079 the Game ID of the game you wish to bet on, your prediction and the amount you wish to bet with.

e.g. 8692#2#100 - where "8692" is the game ID, "2" is your prediction for Away team to win, and "100" is the bet amount

Step 2

You will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Bet ID, possible payout, and your SportPesa account balance. 
The possible payout is calculated by multiplying your total Odds by the bet amount then subtracting 20% withholding tax. 
Withholding tax is 20% of your net winnings. 
Net winnings is possible win (Bet amount X odd) less the bet amount. 

Example:
Possible win = odd * bet amount
(3.12*100=KSH 312)

Net win = possible win - bet amount
(312-100=212)

Withholding tax= 20% of the net winnings
20/100*212 = 42.4

Possible Payout = Possible win - Withholding tax
312-42.4 = 269.6

Confirmation SMS Example: 
You placed BetID 8325 on Sevilla FC-Villarreal, 1. Stake: KSH 93.03, Excise tax KSH 6.97. POSSIBLE PAYOUT KSH 156.18. S-PESA balance: KSH 1306.63.

So you have placed your bet and all you need do now is sit back and enjoy the game you have placed your bet on.

How do I place a Multi Bet?
+

Follow the steps below to place a Multi bet via sms.

Step 1

SMS to 79079 the Game IDs of the games you have selected, your predictions for these games, and the amount you want to bet with. (Note that a Multibet has a minimum of two games and a maximum of 50 games).

e.g. 1234#2#4534#1#7180 #X#1350 where 1234 is the first Game ID,2 is the prediction,4534 is the second Game ID, 1 is the prediction, 7180 is the third Game ID and X is the prediction. KSH 1350 is the bet amount for your multibet.

Step 2

You will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Multi Bet ID, possible payout, and your SportPesa account balance. 
The possible payout is calculated by multiplying your total Odds by the bet amount then subtracting 20% withholding tax. 
Withholding tax is 20% of your net winnings. 
Net winnings is possible win (Bet amount X odd) less the bet amount. 

Example:
Possible win = odds * bet amount
(2.36*1.22*3.12*100=KSH 898.31)

Net win = possible win - bet amount
(898.31-100=798.31)

Withholding tax= 20% of the net winnings
20/100*798.31 = 159.66

Possible Payout = Possible win - Withholding tax
898.31-159.66 = 738.65

Confirmation SMS Example: 
You placed MultiBetID 2329. Stake: KSH 93.03, Excise tax KSH 6.97. Possible PAYOUT: KSH 523.23. Your S-PESA balance: KSH 314.23..

Step 3

Your bet has been placed, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the game!

Note:

How do I place a Mega Jackpot Pro Bet?
+

Step 1

Mega Jackpot pro is a weekly jackpot with 17 pre-selected games that usually play on the weekend.

The Mega Jackpot pro has 5 jackpots in it. That is,13/13, 14/14, 15/15, 16/16, and 17/17 jackpots. 
The cash prizes for the different Mega Jackpot Pro categories will be as below and the amount progresses every week whenever we don't have a winner of each category.

•    17/17 - KES. 100,000,000
•    16/16 - KES. 70,000,000
•    15/15 - KES. 40,000,000
•    14/14 - KES. 20,000,000 
•    13/13 - KES. 10,000,000 

To place a bet on the Mega Jackpot pro via SMS you will first determine which of the jackpot category you want to play on and the games then SMS to 79079 your bet. 
Please note, all games (even those not being selected) need to be added by using 0, which means the Mega Jackpot pro bet must in any case have 17 selections specified.

Once you have your predictions ready, SMS to 79079 "MJP" followed by "#" then the 17 predictions of the selected games, and 0 for the ones not selected.

Example:

14/14 Mega Jackpot Pro bet with no combinations:
 MJP#X#2#1#X#2#2#1#0#X#0#1#X#X#1#1#2#0 

In this bet, game number 8, 10, and 17 were skipped so that is why 0 is used. The category will be 14/14 MJP 

15/15 Mega Jackpot Pro bet with no combinations:
 MJP#X#2#1#X#2#2#1#0#X#2#1#X#X#1#1#2#0 

16/16 Mega Jackpot pro bet with no combination:
MJP#1#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#0#2#1#X#X#1#1#2#2

17/17 Jackpot bet with no combination:
MJP#1#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#X#1#1#2#2

One does not have to enter the stake since Mega Jackpot Pro bet amount by default is KSH. 99.

Step 2

Once your bet is confirmed you will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Mega Jackpot Bet ID, the predictions you have made, the bet amount, and your SportPesa account balance.

Note:
You are a winner when all your predictions match the game's outcomes for the category you played in. 

Mega Jackpot pro is equally shared among all the winners in each bet category.

Bonuses are awarded as: 
13/13 Mega jackpot Pro bet - 10, 11, 12, correct predictions.
14/14 Mega jackpot Pro bet - 10, 11, 12, 13, correct predictions.
15/15 Mega jackpot Pro bet - 10, 12,13, 14 correct predictions.
16/16 Mega jackpot Pro bet - 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 correct predictions.
17/17 Mega jackpot Pro bet - 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 correct predictions.

You can place as many bets as you wish on the Mega Jackpot, each bet still costs KSH. 99.

Step 3

Double or Triple Combination bet on Mega Jackpot Pro (MJP) simply makes it easier to make multiple bets at once instead of repeating the same sequence many times if you want to place more than one MJP bet.

This allows you to place a bet with two or three predictions on a single game up to 10 games if it's a double combination and up to 5 games if its triple combinations in one bet! When you combine both double and triple combinations, you can do so up to 10 games combined. 

Combination limits:
•    Doubles combination has a maximum of 10 games selection
•    Max 5 Triples combination has a maximum of 5 games selection
•    Doubles and triples combination has a maximum of 10 games selection

To bet via SMS on a bet that has a combination you will make your selection of games and identify your category and then SMS your bet to 79079. 
if you wish to make a double combination on 3 MJP games, you will have placed 8 MJP bets in total. i.e. 2^3 (2*2*2=8 JP bets)
If your bet category is 16/16 and the double combination is on games 1, 3, and 16, then the bet will be as below: 

MJP#1X#2#1X#X#2#2#1#X#0#2#1#X#X#1#1#12#2

In this bet, game 9 was skipped and hence the use of 0. 

Example 2: 
17/17 Jackpot SMS bet with one triple combination in the first game:
MJP#1X2#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#X#1#1#2#2

Once your bet is confirmed you will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Mega Jackpot Bet ID, the predictions you have made, the bet amount and your SportPesa account balance.

How do I place a Jackpot Bet?
+

Step 1

The Jackpot has 13 pre-selected matches that usually play in the middle of the week.

The cash prize for the Jackpot starts at KSH 10,000,000 and the amount progresses every week whenever we don't have a winner.

To place a bet on the Jackpot, SMS to 79079 "JP" followed by "#" then the 13 predictions of the pre-selected Jackpot games.

e.g. JP#12121XX1212X1

Note: One does not have to enter the stake since Jackpot amount by default is KSH 99.

Step 2

You will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Jackpot Bet ID, all the 13 predictions you have made, the bet amount and your SportPesa account balance.

Note: You are a winner when all your 13 predictions match the games outcomes.

The Jackpot is equally shared among all the winners.

Bonuses are awarded for 10,11, and 12 correct predictions.

You can place as many bets as you wish on the Jackpot and each bet costs KSH 99.

Step 3

Double Combination bet simply makes it easier to make multiple bets at once instead of repeating the same sequence many times if you wish to place more than one Jackpot (JP) bet via sms.

This allows you to place a bet with two predictions on a single game, on up to 7 games from the listed 13 jackpot games in one bet!

For example, if you wish to make 2 predictions on 3 JP games, you will have made 8 bets in total. i.e. 2^3 (2*2*2=8 JP bets)

e.g. JP#1X#X#2#12#2#X#X#X#X#1#1#2X#1

In the example above, the 2 predictions are on the first, fourth and twelfth game.

This bet is the same as the following 8 JP bets:

JP#1X212XXXX1121

JP#1X222XXXX1121

JP#1X222XXXX11X1

JP#1X212XXXX11X1

JP#XX212XXXX1121

JP#XX222XXXX1121

JP#XX212XXXX11X1

JP#XX222XXXX11X1
