What is Sportybet app?
If you’ve spent any time in Kenya, either scrolling through social media or just hanging out near a local football pitch, you’ll have definitely spotted the SportyBet logo – a bold red and white logo that’s hard to miss.
SportyBet isn’t just another betting app – they’re all about speed. While some of their competitors like to try and pack every game under the sun into one app, SportyBet takes a different approach: they keep it focused and quick. Their Android app clocks in at a mere 40MB – meaning you can have it loaded up on your phone without breaking the bank on data or storage. And the design? Super clean and easy to use, even on older handsets.
How to use sportybet app?
Most betting apps are cluttered messes, trying to throw as many options as possible at you. But SportyBet has taken a different route. They’ve gone for a sleek, intuitive design that puts all the important stuff right at your fingertips. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find a menu that lets you jump straight into different sections of the app with ease. There are five main areas to explore:
- Home: This is your starting point – think top matches and ‘boosted odds’ that’ll give you a bit more bang for your buck.
- Sports: The full A-Z list of markets – from football and basketball to eSports.
- Live: This is where the action really happens. You’ll find a whole section dedicated to in-play betting – complete with live scoreboards keeping you in the know.
- Games: For those who love a bit of variety, there are all sorts of fast-paced casino games and crash games to try out (including the super-popular Sporty Hero).
- Me: This is where you can keep track of your winnings, manage your deposits and see just how far your loyalty rewards have taken you.
One thing that really sets the app apart from the browser version is the Dynamic Odds Refresh. In the ‘Live’ section, the odds change in real-time – flashing green (increasing) or red (decreasing) without needing to refresh the whole page. And let’s talk about the Partial Cash Out feature – this is one of the real standouts.
Unlike other apps, SportyBet lets you lock in a bit of your winnings while still leaving the rest of the stake on the line. Plus, you get ‘winning notifications’ that’ll pop up on your phone the moment your bet settles – often before the livescore apps even catch up.
Licensing & Safety
So, who’s behind SportyBet, then? Dreamhub Technology Limited are the brains behind the operation and they’ve got a local license from the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) of Kenya (License Nos: BK-0001203 and PG-0001202). The good news: it’s 100% legit and safe. No need to worry about fiddling around with VPNs here. And another bonus: because it’s a BCLB site, the 20% withholding tax on winnings is taken care of automatically – so you don’t end up with a nasty surprise when it comes to your payout.
Pros
- Ultra-Lightweight: The app is a mere 40MB, so it’ll chug along on almost any Android or iOS device without breaking a sweat.
- Instant Payouts: Withdrawals to M-Pesa take less than 60 seconds to process.
- Live Streaming: You can watch eSports and select football matches for free, right inside the app.
- Low Stakes: You can bet from as little as KES 1 – perfect for those who like to keep things low-key.
Cons
- While they’ve got other sports covered, the depth of markets for anything outside of football and basketball is a bit lacking compared to 22bet.
What really stands out
Even though SportyBet doesn’t currently offer a traditional cash bonus that’s strictly limited to downloaded apps, the 2UP Early Payout is an absolute game-changer – especially for football fans. This innovative feature essentially gives you a guaranteed win the minute your team takes a two-goal lead, regardless of how the game actually ends. Whether you’re backing a favourite or an underdog, if they get that 2-0 or 3-1 lead, your bet is settled as a win immediately. Even if the match is later abandoned or the opposing team pulls off an incredible comeback to end up drawing or winning, that payout stays safely in your pocket.

I’m Kanyi Muturi and am from Tabuga, a small village in Nakuru. I have been following all sports since I was a kid and have been interested in the gambling side of sports since I was in high school. It took me a little while to get a grasp on all of the different gambling terminology and understand how confusing and complicated it can all seem when you first start.
Are you a professional gambler?
I am a successful gambler. But make no mistake about it: I’m a long-time recreational sports bettor. I’m not a professional gambler. I’m not claiming to be a professional gambler. I’ve never, to my recollection, even been acquainted with a professional gambler. And far be it from me to make the preposterous claim that following my advice will turn you into a professional gambler. It ain’t about that. Not here it ain’t. I just want to teach you a new form of recreation, a fun new pastime in what can sometimes be an unfun life.
