How make bets

Pepeta is a Kenyan sportsbook that entered the market in 2023, combining traditional sports betting with popular crash games such as Aviator. Unlike many local competitors, the platform places equal emphasis on casino-style instant games and conventional sports betting.

The operator is licensed by Kenya’s Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) under Licence Nos. BK 0001141 and PG 0001142.

Pepeta is built around a simple concept tailored to the Kenyan market: a single account for both sports betting and casino games, a low barrier to entry, and a strong focus on crash games.

One of the platform’s distinguishing features is its streamlined onboarding process. New customers receive a free sports bet immediately after registration, without having to make a deposit—a promotion that remains relatively uncommon among Kenyan bookmakers.

Although the operator currently holds a modest share of the local market, it has steadily expanded its presence since launching in 2023. Based on its promotional campaigns, the brand positions itself primarily as a casino-first platform, with sports betting serving as an important, but secondary, product alongside Aviator.

Gambling taxation in Kenya is governed by national legislation rather than by individual operators. Customers are subject to withholding tax on eligible winnings, while licensed bookmakers pay excise duty on betting turnover. As a BCLB-licensed operator, Pepeta automatically withholds and remits all applicable taxes on behalf of its customers.

Sports & Betting Markets

The sportsbook offers betting on more than 10 sports, with over 1,000 events available every day. Coverage ranges from the English Premier League to domestic Kenyan competitions. Alongside traditional sports betting, the platform places a strong emphasis on crash games, with Aviator positioned as a flagship product alongside the sportsbook.

Football

Football is the platform’s largest betting category. Coverage includes the English Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, the SportPesa Premier League (Kenya’s top-flight competition), and matches from the FKF National Super League.

■ Secondary European leagues: ~12%
■ Live betting: ~9%
Average basketball margin: about 8%

■ Live betting: ~15%
Average table tennis margin: about 12%

Tennis

The tennis section features comprehensive coverage of the ATP Tour, WTA Tour, and all Grand Slam tournaments. Available betting markets include match winners, set betting, game betting, and correct set score markets.

Crash Games (Aviator)

Crash games play a central role in the platform’s product offering, with Aviator standing alongside sports betting as one of its flagship products. Based on the operator’s promotional campaigns, a significant share of bonuses and marketing activity is dedicated to this game.

Although Aviator is not a sports betting product, it is fully integrated into the platform and is available 24/7.

The average Return to Player (RTP) for crash games of this type is 96–97%.

How to Get Started

01 Registration

Creating an account is quick and straightforward. Kenyan customers can register using their mobile phone number, which serves as the primary account identifier.

The registration process has been deliberately streamlined, requiring only a phone number and a password. Once registration is complete, new customers automatically receive a free sports bet, with no deposit required.

02 Identity Verification

Account verification follows a standard Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure. Customers are required to upload a Kenyan National ID along with a selfie directly through their account dashboard.

This verification method is standard across many African betting markets, where smartphone photos are accepted instead of scanned documents. In most cases, verification is completed within 24 hours, provided the submitted documents meet the platform's quality requirements.

03 Deposits

The platform supports deposits exclusively through M-Pesa and Airtel Money. Bank cards and cryptocurrencies are not accepted.

Customers can fund their accounts directly through the M-Pesa application using the phone number linked to their Pepeta account. As with many Kenyan bookmakers, the platform relies entirely on mobile money, without offering traditional banking alternatives.
