SportPesa is a South African bookmaker run by SportPesa (Pty) Ltd, with licensed premises in Woodstock, Cape Town. The Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board licenses it twice over: once as a bookmaker, once as a manufacturer of its own betting platform. The site carries thirteen sports, from soccer down to ice hockey and MMA.
What Stands Out
- The site menu lists thirteen sports: soccer, esoccer, basketball, tennis, table tennis, rugby union, cricket, ice hockey, volleyball, boxing, MMA, American football and baseball.
- The Western Cape board licenses SportPesa twice over, as a bookmaker and separately as a manufacturer of its own software.
- We collect match result and four total-goals lines on soccer, plus two-way winner markets on tennis, straight from SportPesa’s own API.
- SportPesa’s own footer names 1Voucher and First National Bank among its partners, alongside data provider Bet Radar and testing lab Gaming Laboratory International.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Fund an account by bank card, EFT, USSD, or a voucher top-up. No minimum deposit figure is published; the R1 (R5 for Mega Jackpot) minimums on the site describe bet stakes, not deposits.
Withdrawals run by EFT and FNB eWallet. FICA documents become compulsory before your first payout. Withdrawals take up to 48 hours to reflect, per SportPesa’s own site.
Odds and Markets
On the competitions OddsBash tracks, SportPesa prices soccer match result and total goals lines, and outright winner markets on tennis. The margin and coverage figures above are measured from odds SportPesa actually published. They refresh with every read.
Good to Know
- SportPesa has native apps for Android and iPhone, downloadable from its own site and the App Store.
- SportPesa also runs Aviator, BetGames, Lucky Numbers, Mega Jackpot and casino games. OddsBash measures the sportsbook only.
- The footer switches between SportPesa’s Kenyan, Tanzanian and South African sites; this profile covers the South African operation only.
