It will be an unusual typical weekend of watching football on t.v without a SportPesa advert coming on the screen. SportPesa is a popular bookmaker in Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, and has recently spread its wings to the UK and Isle of Mann. They have an equally visible presence through sponsorships in soccer and Formula 1. But how is the betting experience, one may ask? In this article, we’ll be reviewing the SportPesa South Africa sports betting services.
SportPesa Bonus
Current SportPesa Sign-up Bonus and Promo Code
The SportPesa sportsbook offers a welcome bonus, but that depends on your country. For instance, UK customers currently do not have a sign-up bonus. The same is the case with new customers in Kenya and Tanzanian. However, if you are from other countries such as Australia and Italy, you will receive a varying sign-up bonus.
Every SportPesa bonus comes with terms and conditions that you must adhere to, whether it is free cash, a free bonus bet, or a deposit bonus. However, since the operator does not offer the same welcome bonus in all countries it operates in, this piece will discuss the general terms.
For instance, the welcome promotion, if available, is only accessible once per player. Additionally, SportPesa bonuses come with a wagering requirement that you must meet. The welcome bonus will only be available 5 days after account registration unless stated otherwise. On the other hand, you have 7 days to meet the turnover requirement.
How To Get The SportPesa Bonus
If you are in a country with a SportPesa welcome bonus, you can claim the SportPesa sign up offer and use it to enjoy your initial betting sessions. Thankfully, the welcome bonus activation process is not hard. All you need to do is load the online sports betting site on your computer and proceed as follows.
- Enter personal information
- Provide contact information and address details
- Create your SportPesa login information
- Submit the registration form
- Fund your account with the minimum deposit required to claim the bonus
Note that you may or may not require a SportPesa bonus code to activate the promotion. It depends on your country.
SportPesa is a multi-licensed sportsbook that provides amazing sports events and the best bonuses to clients. The online bookie uses promotions to attract new members and maintain existing punters. Each SportPesa bonus is distinct, authentic, and verified by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), thus safe to use. This piece aims to take you through the SportPesa bonuses and any available SportPesa bonus codes.
Sportpesa Registration
SportPesa South Africa have made an interesting choice here, when you register you receive an sms with a registration code. This seems completely unnecessary as you are not given the option to receive this by SMS. In this day and age SMS’s have become spam and SportPesa are simply adding to this. Other than that the registration process is easy and straightforward. Here’s how to get up and running.
- Click on this link you’ll be redirected right to the SportPesa registration form.
- Enter your mobile number and e-mail address to sign up.
- After you enter your personal details, click on the blue “Sign Up” Button, this will complete your registration.
SportPesa South Africa Overall
SportPesa South Africa is like jumping into a Ferrari, strapping in, putting your foot on the gas only to find out that the engine is actually running on half flat AA batteries with a top speed of 5 kilometers an hour. The site is impressive from a visual standpoint and the support excellent, but the betting markets are a major letdown. We really would like to emphasize that we using the SportPesa site is a dream as it’s very well designed and runs like very few other local betting sites.
There is very little to bet on, which would be fine if SportPesa South Africa wasn’t a betting site, however it obviously is. We’d love to see it purr with some proper markets and a full offering, but for now we can’t recommend that you sign up with SportPesa as you can get some more value elsewhere, even with some of the smaller sites in South Africa.
We hope that they have some expansion plans for the future though. Additionally we did try contact them when doing this review but their response was rather generic. We can’t recommend Sportpesa as your daily bookie but they are worth having an account with.
Sportpesa Mobile
The mobile page of SportPesa is equally sleek with a black theme. The site is adaptive and responds to the type of device used, adjusting screen size accordingly. The page is easy to navigate through. The menu button on the top left of the screen allows for access to menu options such as Live Games, Statistics and others.
The punter has an option to view the desktop version of the site, or better still, download an application should one fancy. Unfortunately, this app runs on Android devices at the moment, and versions of Android 4.1.1 or higher are supported. The lack of a search bar, however, makes it difficult to quickly search for a team or league.
SportPesa is very easy to navigate as all your important buttons are at the top, buttons like Live Games, Results and Live Score are useful and a good inclusion. However there is no option to see all the available sports, as in there is no Sports button. It’s bizarre really, as the SportsPesa sites overseas have this feature. They seem more concerned with pushing a plethora of social media icons instead of covering some of the basics. Also we were unable to find any search button, but we’ll touch on that a bit later.
Your sidebars contain the usual events like Soccer etc and the navigation to a specific event in a specific country is easy and straightforward. Clicking on any of the side menu Sports automatically populates the main page with highlights of the upcoming events for that sport. The loading times are fairly quick and it works well with the site design.
Sportpesa Betting Markets
Despite it’s slick looks and easy navigation SportPesa South Africa has some serious issues under the hood. Currently they only offer Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Rugby Union and Cricket. SportPesa lucky numbers, Golf, Motor Sports? Nope. Once again it looks like a very lite clone of their overseas offering, missing many markets and events.
Once you’ve decided to take a bet you’ll also be severely limited with markets, we had a look a look at some of the upcoming Premier League matches and they had a whopping 10 markets each. These markets are missing things like Draw no bet, Goalscorers etc. Not exactly exotic markets but let’s hope they will be adding to this in the future as it’s very basic at the moment. We now see why they excluded a search function, as if they had one the search results would be blank.
Sportpesa Deposit Options
Deposits into SportPesa can be made through EFT, 1 Voucher or through debit and credit cards supported by VISA/Mastercard. There is an option of completing the deposit process through USSD codes for MTN and Vodacom subscribers.
Contact details and Customer Service
SportPesa customer service number : 0861047773
SportPesa customer service email : [email protected]
SportPesa have 24 hour customer support, which we tested and found to be very good. The support agents were friendly and responded to our email promptly. They don’t have a live chat feature yet, but their competent email support makes up for this as they respond very quickly.
Summary
SportPesa offers a sleek, aesthetic web page for access from both the desktop and mobile devices. The site is also easy to navigate, but that is only as far as the good side goes. SportPesa South Africa is a big let-down through its limited sports and market options on offer. We certainly hope SportPesa will make concerted efforts to increase their sports and market offerings as this is certainly not competitive with other bookies. Additionally, one equally hopes there will be promotions. It would be hard to see the competitiveness of SportPesa in the South African market without these changes.
