How to download the SportPesa app on Android
The SportPesa Android app isn’t always on Google Play in the usual way, so the official route is through their website. Here’s how.
- On your phone, allow installs from unknown sources in your Android settings (needed for APK installs).
- Visit the official SportPesa website, ke.sportpesa.com.
- Tap the App section, then Download now (or scan the QR code).
- Open the downloaded APK file and tap to install.
- Launch the app and log in or register. The whole process takes a couple of minutes.
Only download from the official SportPesa website. Avoid random “APK download” sites — they can carry fake or unsafe versions. The official app is free and bundle-friendly.
How to download the SportPesa app on iPhone (iOS)
For iPhone and iPad, it’s simpler — straight from the App Store.
- Open the App Store.
- Search “SportPesa Kenya”.
- Tap Get to download and install.
- Open the app and log in or register a new account.
The iOS version updates automatically through the App Store, so you always have the latest features and security fixes.
How to register on the SportPesa app
You must be 18 or older. Registration is quick.
- Open the app and tap Register.
- Enter your phone number with the country code (+254 for Kenya). You can use a Safaricom or Airtel number.
- Set a password and provide the required details.
- Confirm you’re 18+ and submit. Your account is created and ready.
How to log in and deposit
Logging in
Open the app, tap Log In, enter the phone number and password you registered with, and tap Log In. You can enable “Remember Me” to stay logged in, and newer phones support fingerprint login so you don’t have to type your password each time.
Depositing with M-Pesa or Airtel Money
SportPesa supports M-Pesa and Airtel Money. Once logged in, go to the deposit section, enter your amount, and confirm the payment prompt on your phone. Funds reflect quickly so you can start betting.
To withdraw, you can send an SMS to 79079 in the format W#Amount (for example, W#1200), from the phone number registered to your account. You may need to complete ID verification (KYC) before withdrawing.

Where BetBanksy does it differently
SportPesa is Kenya’s biggest betting brand and the app is well-built. But a couple of things are worth knowing.
1. Android installs need “unknown sources”. Because the Android app installs via APK, you have to change a security setting some people find inconvenient. BetBanksy works straight from your mobile browser — nothing to install.
2. Payout speed. M-Pesa and Airtel withdrawals are handy but can queue at peak times. BetBanksy processes crypto withdrawals in minutes, and lets you deposit in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and more.
You sign up in about 30 seconds with just your phone number, and get the same sports, jackpots, Aviator and JetX — no APK, no waiting.
