Pepeta Kenya Review: Licence, Company and Missing Terms

Which licence does Pepeta hold?

The GRA licensed operators list for the 2025/26 financial year gives betting licence BK 0001141 for Norm Kick-off Limited, issued by the GRA. No Pepeta page was readable on the date of the check, so there is no statement from the bookmaker itself to set beside the list.

The Gambling Control Act, 2025 set up the Gambling Regulatory Authority as the successor of the Betting Control and Licensing Board, and the old bclb.go.ke address now leads to the authority’s site.

How do you read Pepeta’s entry on the GRA list?

The list covers one financial year, here 2025/26, and gives each company a status; Pepeta’s company, like all ten bookmakers compared on this site, is marked renewal. Licence numbers sit in separate columns: BK for sports betting, PG for gaming and PL for lottery. Norm Kick-off Limited has two, BK 0001141 and PG 0001142, so it is licensed for sports betting and for gaming.

What the list does not show is anything about the terms a bettor meets after signing up: no Paybill, no minimum deposit or withdrawal, no payout time. Those still have to come from the bookmaker, and for Pepeta they have not been published on a page we could read.

Because the list is public, a bettor does not have to rely on any comparison site for this part. Our guide to checking a GRA licence explains how to find a company on it and how to match the name to the brand on a betting site.

This is the strongest fact in the review. For Pepeta, with nothing else published, the regulator’s entry carries most of the weight of the page.

Why is Pepeta not ranked or scored?

Pepeta is rated on 0 of 5 criteria, against a ranking threshold of 3. None of the five criteria has a single input from a readable page: no Paybill or M-Pesa minimums, no USSD code or app, no jackpot structure, no odds sample and no bonus terms. The bookmaker therefore sits in the “Licensed, not yet rated” group, alphabetically, with no score.

That is a gap in published information, and it says nothing either way about how Pepeta treats its customers. The scoring method describes how data gaps are handled for every bookmaker.

What should a bettor confirm before using Pepeta?

The same things this review could not. Find the Paybill on the deposit screen of your own account and check the business name M-Pesa displays before you confirm. Read the minimum withdrawal and the stated payout time in Pepeta’s terms. Look for the company name in Pepeta’s own terms and compare it with the one on the regulator’s list. And know that excise duty of 5% is charged on amounts deposited for betting, wherever you bet; the betting tax guide explains it.

If any of those answers is missing on Pepeta’s own pages, that tells you something too. A bookmaker that wants your deposit can be expected to say, in writing and before you pay, how and when you can get it back.

Where should you look instead?

If you want bookmakers whose payment terms are published and scored, the ranking of all ten puts them side by side. Pepeta’s review is updated when one of its pages, or a guide we can cite, publishes the terms that are missing today.

Other products: The GRA licensed operators list shows a second licence for the company, PG 0001142 in the gaming column, next to the betting licence; products other than sports betting are not covered or scored here.
