How to SportPesa download app?

If betting on sporting events is your passion, you have probably heard of SportPesa before. It’s one of the most famous wagering platforms in Kenya, and many locals claim that they consider this bookmaker the main one when it comes to satisfying betting experiences and the quickness of payment transactions. While millions of Kenyan punters are already wagering on SportPesa, newcomers and some more seasoned bettors are only getting started with this sportsbook. That is exactly the goal of this guide: to inform you how to get the app on your phone and get going without any trouble. Let’s get underway!

App’s Technical Requirements

The current available version of the mobile app is compatible exclusively with Android-based devices. It means if you have an iOS gadget, you won’t be able to install it. Nevertheless, you’re still more than welcome to place wagers on the SportPesa lite version of the site. The desktop app for a PC or laptop has not been released yet, but we’re hoping to see this version of the app and the iOS one in the near future.

Here are the requirements for the Android app:

• Operational system Android 4.1.1 or higher
• At least 10 MB of a free storage space

And that’s it. The application itself is quite intuitive and could never be described as tricky or unoptimized for use on the go. Please note that the app is entirely free to download and use. If anybody wants you to pay for the app, immediately close the website and navigate to the official SportPesa page.

The Difference Between a Website, a Mobile Website and a Mobile App

Ultimately, the largest difference between these three options is the interface. Each of them is fully optimized for the conditions where they will be used. A website, as a main platform, is designed for access via laptops and computers, so the sizing is adapted to the average screen diagonal. Additionally, it’s full of flashy juice banners and buttons because the PC use implies a stable internet connection.

A mobile website is a lite version of the main website. It’s optimized for use on mobile phones of any size. The page will be automatically adapted to your device. It doesn’t get bugged or frozen since all unnecessary details were cut off, and even a bad online connection can guarantee you a stable experience.

A mobile application, in its turn, is fully designed for use on Android devices. It adapts as much as possible to the size of your screen and will allow you to bet on sports without any distractions. A special SportPesa icon will be located on the desktop of your device, with which you can launch the application in the blink of an eye.
