FAQ

Do you recommend logging in at SportPesa via public Wi-Fi?
It’s possible, but you must consider the risks. With public Wi-Fi connections, you’re making it easier for hackers to possibly access your credentials, as most of them have poor to zero encryption policies. We’re not recommending it, especially if you have other options.
What happens to my account if I have been inactive for months?
SportPesa considers an account dormant if there are no activities for the past twelve months. As a result, the account will be temporarily suspended. If your account has been inactive for weeks, you’ll surely be fine. However, we still recommend depositing some funds and placing bets.
Does SportPesa support signing in via biometrics?
Not all those logging in at SportPesa can use a fingerprint or Face ID feature, as it will highly depend on whether your device is compatible with such features. You need not worry, though, as the platform observes strict protocols to ensure the best possible account security.
