SportPesa

About the company

SportPesa Tanzania is a well-known African bookmaker that has been operating since 1999. It was founded in Kenya and in just two decades of its existence has managed to become a fairly popular betting operator not only in the country of its birth, but also in most of the African continent.

SportPesa bookmaker is a new high-tech sports betting operator focused on Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and licensed to operate in Ireland, Italy, and the United Kingdom. SportPesa is owned by a Kenyan company with investors from Bulgaria and the United States. In Italy, the bookmaker is promoted by a large media company RKC Media.

Since 2014, SportPesa has been actively promoting its brand on the European continent, so that sports betting enthusiasts from Europe, Asia and some North American countries can also learn about it.

To attract more attention to its brand, SportPesa bookmaker often sponsors well-known football teams. For example, her record includes sponsorship deals with English clubs hull city and Everton.

But in this SportPesa Review, I want to focus on the bookmaker as a bright representative of the African continent and consider it in this context.

Review of the official SportPesa website

The official website of SportPesa was developed in 2020 and corresponds to all modern trends of fashion in the web industry. It is quite attractive in terms of design, but at the same time functional and fast to work with, not loaded with a large number of heavy graphic elements. It looks nice and unobtrusive. In addition, it attracts with its novelty and simple interface.

Buttons for quick access to the main sections are conveniently placed in the ” header ” of the resource, and the list of the most popular competitions is placed in the left vertical menu on top of the main list of disciplines.

On the left, you can find a line with sports that provides access to the line, in the center – links to top matches, and on the right – blocks with various bookmaker services.

In addition to sports betting, the official SportPesa website also features:

The site has several formats focused on countries where the bookmaker has a wide base of players: Nigeria, Tanzania, Italy, Great Britain and South Africa, as well as the “Other countries” option.

Navigation on the site will not be a problem for an experienced bettor, since the location of the main blocks is made according to the classic canons for betting projects.

Sports betting

SportPesa bet company is focused mainly on football fans, with the exception of recent beginnings in Formula-1. The bookmaker is more involved in betting on football than accepting bets on other sports disciplines and events. Therefore, there are a large number of football events in the line.

 Bettor has the ability to place bets on almost all world leagues – tournaments and Championships in Africa, Asia, South America and the United States, as well as popular European leagues such as the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A.

In addition to football the line contains a sufficient number of events of other sports:

On the map, the painting is very deep and varied; it represents all the existing markets. For other sports, the list is poorer, but still beginners and betting enthusiasts will definitely find interesting offers for betting there.

SportPesa TZ Line

In The line of the SportPesa bookmaker you can see three dozen sports, so fans of online sports betting are unlikely to be bored here. This list includes: football, horse racing, golf, tennis, American football, Australian football, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, chess, cricket, cycling, darts, handball, ice hockey, mixed martial arts, motorcycle racing, rugby league, rugby union, snooker, water polo, speedway, surfing, table tennis, volleyball, water skiing and winter sports.

As for football, there are about two hundred different football tournaments. At the same time, almost every match available for betting has a very solid painting.

The SportPesa coefficients

It is difficult to call high odds in the SportPesa bookmaker’s office. In General, they change in a small range of values.

So, the coefficients for equally expected opposite outcomes of one event “float” mainly from the ratio of numbers 1.85/1.85 to 1.9/1.9. This level can be attributed more to the average, so it hardly makes sense to recommend this bookmaker to professionals.

Live section

The “Live” events of SportPesa are no less rich in their quantitative composition and variety of betting types. Thanks to such a wealth of choice on the site of this bookmaker, it is not unreasonable to get the feeling that sports life in the world does not stop for a second, either day or night.

You can go to the section by clicking on the Live Betting tab in the menu bar, and you will immediately see a full list of current events that you can bet on, even without going to the page of a specific event.

The live line features events in football, tennis, cricket and baseball, basketball, American football, e-Sports, and other disciplines. The margin in live is slightly higher than in pre-match.

A significant disadvantage is the lack of live video broadcasts of matches on the site and a player with info graphics. But let’s hope that everything is still ahead.

A parlay Sportiest bet

You can make Express bets in SportPesa to do this, you need to add the results to the coupon by clicking on their coefficients.
