SportyBet is licensed, not yet rated. The GRA licensed operators list gives its licence number and company, a payments guide confirms an Android app, but its M-Pesa Paybill, minimums and payout time could not be read on any page, so one criterion is all that can be scored.

Very little, for a name many Kenyan bettors know. The published record we could read comes down to four facts: the licence number, the company and the regulator, all from the regulator’s own list, and the existence of an Android app.
The licence number is BK 0001203, listed for Dreamhub Technology Limited by the GRA. The app comes from a payments guide’s SportyBet page. Everything else in the facts table above shows not stated, and that is an honest description of the sources rather than a judgement on the bookmaker.
Because no page we could read gave the Paybill, the minimum deposit, the minimum withdrawal or a payout time. The payments guide that fills those rows for most of the ten has a SportyBet page, but it did not state a Paybill we could cite.
For a Kenyan bettor that is the most important gap on this page, since M-Pesa is how almost everyone pays in and cashes out. It is also the reason SportyBet cannot be compared fairly with the ranked bookmakers: the M-Pesa criterion carries the largest weight in the method, 35%, and here it has nothing to rate.
If you already use SportyBet, the deposit screen inside your account shows the Paybill to use. Before you enter your PIN, look at the business name M-Pesa displays for that number. Deposits carry excise duty of 5%, the same as at every bookmaker; the betting tax guide explains it.
It is rated on 1 of 5 criteria, mobile access, and the ranking starts from 3. One criterion would turn the score into a measure of a single app, so SportyBet is listed as licensed, not yet rated, and its position reads not ranked.
The scoring method sets out why unrated inputs and criteria are left out instead of being counted as zero, and why a ranking position needs a minimum number of rated criteria.
The contrast is sharpest on payments. SportPesa prints its Paybill, 955100, on its own homepage; Odibets does the same with 290680. Betika has a USSD code, *644# and SMS 29090, listed by a payments guide, and a lite page for weak connections. For SportyBet the equivalent rows are blank.
The app is the one field where SportyBet keeps pace. Its Android app is confirmed by the same guide that confirms Betika’s, Odibets’ and Mozzart Bet’s.
Yes. The GRA licensed operators list for the 2025/26 financial year shows Dreamhub Technology Limited with betting licence BK 0001203 and status renewal. The same row carries PG 0001202 in the gaming column; the list keeps sports betting (BK), gaming (PG) and lottery (PL) licences apart.
The Gambling Regulatory Authority replaced the Betting Control and Licensing Board under the Gambling Control Act, 2025, and the old bclb.go.ke address now leads to its site. The list is public, so a bettor can look the company up directly. Our guide to checking a GRA licence explains how to match the company to the brand.
A readable Paybill and M-Pesa minimums would rate a second criterion at once, and a published jackpot with games and an entry price would rate a third, enough to give SportyBet a position. Until then, the comparison of all ten bookmakers shows which ones publish the M-Pesa terms that SportyBet does not.
Other products: The GRA licensed operators list shows a second licence for the company, PG 0001202 in the gaming column, next to the betting licence; products other than sports betting are not covered or scored here.
It was not stated on any page we could read, including the payments guide's SportyBet page, so this review does not give one. Use the deposit screen inside your SportyBet account, and check the business name M-Pesa shows before you enter your PIN.

Yes. The Gambling Regulatory Authority's licensed operators list for the 2025/26 financial year shows Dreamhub Technology Limited with betting licence BK 0001203 and gaming licence PG 0001202, status renewal.
It is rated on fewer criteria than the ranking requires, because its payments, jackpot, odds and bonus details were not published where we could read them.
