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.

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.

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 20 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:

To cancel a bet, send the word "Cancel" followed by "#" and the Bet ID which is the 4 digit number received in the confirmation message, to 79079. Note that you can only cancel a bet within 10 minutes of placing it and before any game from your bet kicks off.

e.g. Cancel#2345 (where 2345 is the Bet ID)

Step 1

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

The cash prize for Mega Jackpot starts at KSHs 100,000,000 and the amount progresses every week whenever we don't have a winner of the Mega Jackpot.

To place a bet on the Mega Jackpot, SMS to 79079 "MJP" followed by "#" then the 17 predictions of the pre-selected games.

e.g. MJP#1211XX12X1X12X12X

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

Step 2

You will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Mega Jackpot Bet ID, all the 17 predictions you have made, the bet amount and your SportPesa account balance.

Note:

You are a winner when all your 17 predictions match the games outcomes.

Mega Jackpot is equally shared among all the winners.

Bonuses are awarded for 12 ,13,14,15 and 16 correct predictions.

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

Step 3

Double Combination bet on Mega Jackpot (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 via sms.

This allows you to place a bet with two predictions on a single game, on up to 7 games from the listed 17 MJP games in one bet!

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

e.g. MJP#1X#X#2#12#2#X#X#X#X#1#1#2X#1#1#1#X#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 MJP bets:

MJP#1X212XXXX11211121

MJP#1X222XXXX11211211

MJP#1X212XXXX11X11X1X

MJP#1X222XXXX11X1XXX1

MJP#XX222XXXX11212221

MJP#XX212XXXX11X11211

MJP#XX222XXXX11X1X221

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.

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)
