Welcome to the first edition of the SportPesa Magazine Show, a weekly look inside the brand, the partnerships, and the products powering the experience.
This episode takes us from behind-the-scenes moments at SportPesa HQ to the heart of Varsity Shield matchday action.
Here’s what went down.
Behind the Scenes at SportPesa
We kicked things off at the SportPesa office, capturing the team in action, from campaign discussions to everyday collaboration that drives the brand forward.
Our mascot also made a special appearance, bringing energy to the office and giving viewers a lighthearted look at the people behind the product.
It’s a reminder that sport is more than just numbers and odds, it’s community, culture and shared moments.
Why Varsity Shield Matters
We sat down with leadership to unpack why Varsity Cup and Varsity Shield remain important pillars in SportPesa’s sports partnerships.
Student rugby continues to showcase emerging talent, fuel campus pride and deliver high-intensity matchday experiences across the country.

Matchday: Varsity Shield Kick-Off
From stadium arrival shots to branding moments and crowd reactions, Varsity Shield delivered a powerful start to the season.
We also broke down the “Tap or Kick” decision that teams face after scoring a try, a tactical moment that can shift momentum and influence match strategy.

Aviator: How the Game Works
This week’s product feature focused on Aviator, one of the most talked-about games on the platform.
In the episode, we shared a simple explainer of how Aviator works. The game runs in rounds, with a multiplier increasing as the plane takes off. Players decide when to cash out before the plane flies away. If they cash out in time, they secure their return for that round.
Each round is independent, and outcomes vary from one round to the next.
