Legal note
africasportsbetting.com2 country pinsReviewed 17 October 2026
SportPesa is not a startup story. It is a Kenyan memory: shirts, stadium boards, a shutdown people still argue about in traffic. Tanzania’s GBT lists Nexis Global Limited / Sport Pesa. A Western Cape table also lists a Sportpesa (Pty) Ltd entity among South African licence holders. We treat that as a separate-country possibility, not as proof your Kenyan login works in Randfontein.
Where we pin it
Country sites, not a continental stamp.
A Sportpesa (Pty) Ltd name appears on Western Cape licence-holder lists. Treat any South African product as a different operation and domain until you have verified it yourself.
Tanzania: Nexis Global Limited / Sport Pesa on GBT sports-betting operators. Always re-verify. Kenya: Milestone Games Limited trades as Sportpesa on the GRA licensed operators list for 2025/26 (bookmaking 0001193). On 18 October 2026 the GRA list was still headed 2025/26; check the regulator for status after 24 September 2026.
Payments
The cashier
M-Pesa in Kenya. If you are looking at a rand cashier, you are not on the Kenyan product.
Sports focus
The slip
Football sponsorship heritage. The slip is still league football.
Caveats
- Do not mix Kenyan and South African SportPesa stories into one account.
