E.g., 4567#1#1000 – where the match ID is “4567”, “1” is your prediction for the home side to win, and “1000” is your stake.

How to Place a Jackpot Bet

The jackpot includes thirteen pre-chosen games usually played in the middle of the week. The cash prize starts at TzS200,000,000, and the amount increases every week whenever there’s no winner.
To place a jackpot bet, text JP followed by “#” and the thirteen predictions of the pre-chosen jackpot games to 15888
E.g. JP#12121XX1212X1
You don’t need to enter the stake since the default stake for the jackpot is TzS 2,000
Step II
A validation message will be sent to you from 15888. The message will include the jackpot bet ID, all your thirteen predictions, and the amount staked as well as your Sport Pesa balance. You win when all thirteen predictions are correct.
The jackpot is shared equally amongst all the winners.
Users with 10,11,or 12 correct predictions get bonuses. There is no limit on the number of jackpot bets you can place. Each bet costs TzS 2000.
Step III
Double combination bets make it easy to play multiple bets all at once rather than duplicating one sequence if you’re placing more than a single jackpot bet through SMS.
This enables users to bet with two predictions on one game, on as many as seven games from the thirteen jackpot games in a single bet.
For instance, if you want to make two predictions on three jackpot games, you’ll have made eight bets in all — 2^3 (2*2*2=8 jackpot bets)
Example:
JP#1X#Y#2#12#2#X#Y#Y#X#1#1#2X#1
In this example, the two predictions are on the fourth, first and twelfth games.
This bet is the same as these eight jackpot bets
JP#XX222XXXX11X1
JP#1X222XXXX1121
JP#XX212XXXX1121
JP#XX222XXXX1121
JP#XX212XXXX11X1
JP#1X212XXXX11X1
JP#1X222XXXX11X1
JP#1X212XXXX1121
How to Cancel Your Bet
To cancel any bet, send ‘cancel’ followed by “#” as well as the bet ID (the four-digit number you got in your validation message) to 15888.
You can only cancel your bet within ten minutes of playing and prior to the start of any game included in the bet.
E.g. Cancel#1234 (where 1234 is your bet ID).
How to Withdraw

Remember that this withdrawal pattern is the same across all the mobile money services (Halopesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa, Vodacom M-Pesa)
