How to Check SportPesa Bet Slip Status via SMS in Kenya

Checking your SportPesa bet status is the best way to track your open wagers and see if your cash has landed after the final whistle. While many bettors look for a simple SMS command to query active slips, SportPesa does not actually have a direct SMS text command like "SLIP" for checking status.

Instead, SportPesa automatically sends you SMS confirmation texts for every wager, and provides quick digital options to view your complete bet history anytime. Here is how to track your bets accurately without getting stuck using outdated or non-working SMS commands.

How to Track Your SportPesa Bets

Since texting a slip ID to 79079 will not return your bet results, you can use these three reliable methods to check where your wager stands.

1. Check Your Original SMS Confirmations

When you place a wager via SMS or USSD, SportPesa immediately replies from shortcode 79079 with your bet details. This text includes:

• Your unique Bet ID

• The selected matches and predictions

• The total stake and excise tax deducted

• Your potential payout and updated account balance

Once all matches on your slip wrap up, SportPesa sends a follow-up SMS if your bet wins or if money is added to your account. Keeping these SMS messages in your inbox allows you to review your active bet IDs whenever you need them.

2. View Bet History on the SportPesa App or Website

The fastest way to check whether a slip is active, won, or lost is through your online account.

1. Visit the SportPesa website or open the mobile app.

2. Log into your account using your phone number and PIN.

3. Tap on your account profile and select History or My Bets.

4. Filter by open or settled bets to view match-by-match outcomes, total returns, and settled payouts.

3. Dial the USSD Code (*790#)

If you are on a feature phone or do not have an active internet connection, dial *790# on your registered Safaricom line. Follow the on-screen menu prompts to access your account section, check your balance, or view your recent betting activity without spending mobile data.

Key SportPesa SMS Commands to Keep Handy

While you cannot query bet status via SMS, SportPesa Kenya supports several official SMS text commands sent to 79079 for managing your account:

Helpful Tips for Managing Your Bets

• Save shortcode 79079 in your contacts: Storing the official SportPesa shortcode ensures you always recognize official texts and avoid falling for fake customer support scams.

• Act quickly if you make a mistake: If you enter the wrong game ID or prediction via SMS, send Cancel#BetID to 79079 right away so your stake returns to your balance before the game starts.

• Monitor your M-Pesa statements: When a bet wins, SportPesa credits your account balance automatically. Withdrawing that money triggers an immediate M-Pesa notification once processed.

Checking your SportPesa slip status is simple once you know where to look. By checking your confirmation texts or logging into your account online or via USSD, you can stay on top of your wagers wherever you are.
