By The SportyBet paybill number for Kenya is the business number 590555 listed in our key facts box; SportyBet announced it at the August 2025 relaunch for instant M-Pesa deposits. Enter the account number SportyBet specifies, usually your registered phone number, and the money is credited to your wallet. SportyBet also offers a direct online deposit from the site and withdrawals to your M-Pesa wallet.
SportyBet deposit through the M-Pesa menu
- Open M-Pesa on your Safaricom line or the M-Pesa app.
- Select Lipa na M-Pesa, then Pay Bill.
- Enter the SportyBet business number from the key facts box.
- For the account number, use the one SportyBet shows on its deposit page, usually your registered phone number.
- Enter the amount, then your PIN, and confirm.
- Check that the confirmation SMS names SportyBet or its registered company as the recipient.
Deposit directly from the site or app
Open Deposit in your SportyBet account, type the amount and submit. An M-Pesa prompt appears on your phone; enter your PIN to complete it. This route avoids mistakes in the business and account numbers, so it is the one we suggest for most people.
How to withdraw from SportyBet
- Log in and choose Withdraw.
- Enter an amount from your cash balance (bonus funds are not withdrawable until the terms are met).
- Confirm. SportyBet sends the money to your registered M-Pesa number.
SportyBet described withdrawals as instant at its relaunch. Real-world timing can still depend on checks and the M-Pesa network, so allow some time before contacting support.
Taxes on SportyBet deposits and winnings
Excise duty is charged on deposits into betting wallets in Kenya, and the operator takes withholding tax from winnings before paying you. SportyBet deducts both automatically, so your wallet can show less than you sent and your payout less than the slip's possible win. The rules changed in 2025 and again in 2026; check the operator's payment screens or KRA guidance and our betting tax guide.

Good payment habits
