Airtel Kenya has partnered with Sportpesa, Kenya’s leading sports betting solution to enable bettors in Kenya to do sports betting using Airtel Money FREE of charge.
Under the partnership, bettors will now be able to access free deposit of Airtel Money to their betting account in Sportpesa as well as withdrawal free of charge when moving their bet winnings from their Sportpesa betting account to their Airtel Money wallet.
To register with SportPesa, Airtel Money users will need to SMS the word ‘Game’ to 79079, after which they will have to accept terms and conditions. This SMS costs Kshs 2. To place a bet, one will be required to top up their betting wallet through Airtel Money to the SportPesa Paybill name ‘SPORTPESA’ and on reference to write the word ‘FOOTBALL’.
Sportpesa participants should have the confidence of placing their bets using Airtel Money: a secure and convenient mobile commerce service that allows users to do mobile money transactions at the most affordable cost available in the market.
The partnership between Airtel Kenya and SportPesa will also see the introduction of more engaging services and exciting innovations in the near future.
