SportPesa crowned Kenya’s no.1 betting brand with five-star recognition at the 2025 Excellent Brands Awards

In a year defined by record wins, grassroots impact, and unmatched innovation, SportPesa has officially been crowned Kenya’s No.1 betting brand after earning the coveted Five-Star Award at the 2025 Excellent Brands Awards, held at Villa Rosa Kempinski, Nairobi.
The recognition places SportPesa not only at the summit of Kenya’s gaming industry but as a national symbol of trust, innovation, and community empowerment.
More than an award — A testament to impact
SportPesa’s Five-Star recognition is not just a trophy. It is a reflection of millions of Kenyans who have placed their trust in the top betting brand — from jackpot winners like Bonnie Kamau, who took home a historic KSh 424 million mega jackpot, to the thousands of youth benefiting from Tujiamini, the company’s flagship program for grassroots football and community empowerment.
“This recognition belongs to every Kenyan who has trusted SportPesa. It is proof that we are more than a gaming platform — we are a partner in progress, entertainment, and opportunity,” said Esther Kang’ethe, Head of Marketing.
Why SportPesa Kenya stands alone?
While competitors chase trends, SportPesa Kenya continues to set the benchmark:
- Record jackpots – The only platform to deliver the biggest payout in Kenya’s history of 424M to Bonnie Kamau, with jackpots resetting and crossing the KSh 100M mark consistently.
- Digital innovation – Flagship games like Aviator, ligi ya mbogi, Jetx, casino jackpots have redefined mobile gaming for Kenya’s tech-savvy generation.
- Responsible gaming – Every product is built around fairness, safety, and fun — reinforcing SportPesa’s role as the most trusted brand in betting.
- Community first – Through Tujiamini, SportPesa invests directly in Kenyan youth, grassroots football clubs, and national sports — ensuring the brand’s legacy extends beyond jackpots.
