It will now cost punters as little as Ksh10 to place a bet on SportPesa platform. The 80 per cent stake reduction will apply to all bets except the company’s jackpots which will still cost Ksh99 per stake.

“This is in response to requests by our customers on new offerings that they can engage in on our platform. It is simply us telling the customer that we are listening and this is just the beginning of what else is to come,” said SportPesa CEO Capt. Ronald Karauri.

He said SportPesa innovation team is working hard to give customers an exciting and convenient user experience.

Since the beginning of the year, Sportpesa has awarded over Ksh54 million to jackpot winners.

The Midweek Jackpot comprises of 13 select games per week and starts from Ksh10 million increasing each week until there is a winner.

Aside from sports bètting and supporting the sports industry, SportPesa through the Sportpesa Foundation has since March supported the maternity units of several health centres in Nairobi, Bomet, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Kiambu and Homa Bay counties.
