By To get the SportPesa app, open SportPesa's own app page from the official site on your Android phone and download the file there; it installs as an APK and runs the same account, wallet and jackpots as the website. Sources disagree on whether the app is listed on Google Play in Kenya, so the official site is the one download source we recommend. You must be 18+ to use it.
BetTips.co.ke is an independent guide to Kenyan bookmakers, not SportPesa. We describe the process from the operator's public pages and Kenyan tech press as of October 2026; the button below takes you to the official site.
Open the official SportPesa site
SportPesa app download on Android, step by step
- Open your phone browser and go to the official SportPesa site through a trusted link.
- Find the app page, usually linked from the menu or the footer, and tap the Android download.
- When Android warns about installing from an unknown source, allow it for your browser only, just for this install.
- Open the downloaded file and tap Install.
- Turn the unknown-source permission off again in Settings once the app is installed.
- Open the app and log in with your registered phone number and password.
Is the SportPesa APK safe?
An APK is simply the Android install file. It is as safe as its source. The genuine file comes from SportPesa's domain; copies shared in WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels or "apk mirror" sites may be modified to capture your login or M-Pesa details. Two quick checks help: the app should ask for normal permissions such as notifications and storage, not for your SMS inbox or contacts, and the login screen should look exactly like the website's.
Updating to the latest version
Searches for "sportpesa app download latest version" and "sportpesa app update" usually come from people whose old app stopped loading games or the casino section. If the app prompts you to update, accept it. If it does not and something breaks, download the current file from the official app page again and install it over the old one; your account lives on SportPesa's servers, so you will not lose your balance or bet history. People sometimes look for an "old SportPesa app" because they preferred the previous layout. We do not recommend installing outdated versions: they miss security fixes and may stop working without warning.
SportPesa for iOS users
We could not confirm an iOS app for Kenya. On an iPhone, open the official site in Safari and use Share, then Add to Home Screen. You get an icon that opens the mobile site in one tap, with the same jackpots, sportsbook and cashier.
What the app covers
| Feature | In the app |
|---|---|
| Football and other sports | Yes, same coupon as the website |
| Mega and Midweek jackpots | Yes |
| Casino and Aviator | Yes, from the casino section |
| M-Pesa deposit prompt | Yes, from the cashier |
No data or an older phone?
SportPesa launched a USSD channel for customers without internet, and SMS betting has long been part of its offer. Our SportPesa SMS betting guide explains the text route. The mobile site also works in a light browser if storage is tight.
Common install problems
- "App not installed": delete the old version first, then install the fresh file.
- Parse error: the download was incomplete; download again on a stable connection.
- Login fails after install: reset your password from the login screen; if that fails, contact SportPesa customer care.

Frequently asked questions
Is the SportPesa app on Google Play?
Sources disagree for Kenya. The reliable route is the download on SportPesa's official app page.
Will updating the app delete my balance?
No. Your balance and bets are stored on your SportPesa account, not on the phone.
Can I use SportPesa on an iPhone?
We could not confirm an iOS app. Use the mobile site in Safari and save a shortcut to the home screen.
Why does Android warn me during install?
Android warns about any app from outside its store. Allow the install only for the file from SportPesa's own site, then switch the permission off.
