Legal betting sites in Nigeria: the full licensed list
Legal betting sites in Nigeria are the ones a state regulator has licensed. On the Lagos register, read on 2 November 2026, 54 online betting sites have a licence running, among them 1xBet, 22Bet, Bangbet, Bet9ja, Betano, Betway, Betwinner, Football.com, LiveScore Bet, MSport, Paripesa and SportyBet. All of them are below, with the sites whose licence has ended and the ones the regulator names as unlicensed.
Since the Supreme Court's ruling of 22 November 2024, Nigeria's states regulate betting, not the federal commission. In Lagos that is the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA), and its register of licensed operators is the place to check a bookmaker. For every online sports betting operator on it, this page gives the brand, the company that holds the licence, and the end date the register shows.
A licence matters when something goes wrong: a licensed bookmaker answers to a regulator you can complain to, and its rules on withdrawals are written down. Our bookmaker reviews cover 14 of them.

Searched for, but on neither list
Names people look up here that the register does not show as a licensed betting site. Checked against the whole register, lotto, pools and casinos included, and the unlicensed list on 26 October 2026.
| Question | What the register shows |
|---|---|
| Is BetWGB legal in Nigeria? | Not on either Lagos list, so it has no Lagos licence. The register's Winners Golden Chance Venture Limited holds lotto, pools and casino licences, none of them for online betting under the BetWGB name. It may hold another state's licence: ask it for the regulator and the licence number. |
| Is CampoBet legal in Nigeria? | Not on either Lagos list, so it has no Lagos licence. It may hold another state's licence: ask it for the regulator and the licence number. |
| Is ChelseaBet legal in Nigeria? | Not on either Lagos list, so it has no Lagos licence. It may hold another state's licence: ask it for the regulator and the licence number. |
| Is JuventusBet legal in Nigeria? | Not on either Lagos list, so it has no Lagos licence. It may hold another state's licence: ask it for the regulator and the licence number. |
| Is Koretbet legal in Nigeria? | On the register as “Korebet”, run by Koret Gaming Network Nigeria Limited, with a licence end date of 13 May 2026, which has passed. |
| Is Adibet legal in Nigeria? | A free football predictions site (adibet.com), not a bookmaker: it takes no bets, so it is not on a betting register. What matters is whether the bookmaker you bet with is licensed. |
| Is Betwizad legal in Nigeria? | A free football predictions site (betwizad.com), not a bookmaker: it takes no bets, so it is not on a betting register. What matters is whether the bookmaker you bet with is licensed. |
| Is Venasbet legal in Nigeria? | A free football predictions site (venasbet.com), not a bookmaker: it takes no bets, so it is not on a betting register. What matters is whether the bookmaker you bet with is licensed. |
How to check a bookmaker yourself
- Find the company name. It is in the site's footer or its terms; some also give a licence number, such as LSLGA/OP/OSB/… for Betway and MSport.
- Open the LSLGA register and search the page for the company or the brand.
- Check the licence end date. The register is updated by hand, so a renewal can appear late, and some entries show a start date in the future.
- Check the unlicensed list too.
Some sites also name a permit from the Federation of State Gaming Regulators of Nigeria (FSGRN) under its Universal Reciprocity Licensing Framework, as 1xBet's footer does. That permit is separate from the Lagos licence, which is what this page lists.
Quick answers
Is online betting legal in Nigeria?
Yes, with a bookmaker that holds a state licence. Since the Supreme Court's ruling of 22 November 2024, each state licenses betting; in Lagos that is the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority. A site with no licence, or one on the regulator's unlicensed list, answers to no regulator if a withdrawal goes wrong.
How many betting companies are there in Nigeria?
On 2 November 2026, the Lagos register showed 54 online sports betting sites with a licence running, and 22 more whose licence end date had passed. Other states keep their own registers, so this is the Lagos count, not a national one.
Which betting sites are licensed in Nigeria?
On 2 November 2026, 54 online sports betting operators were on the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority's register with a licence end date still ahead, including 1xBet, 22Bet, Bangbet, Bet9ja, Betano, Betway, Betwinner, Football.com, LiveScore Bet, MSport, Paripesa and SportyBet. The full list is on this page.

Is a betting site legal in Nigeria if it is not on this list?
It has no Lagos licence. Betting is licensed state by state, so it may hold another state's licence: ask the site which regulator licensed it and its licence number, and check with that regulator. A site on the Lagos regulator's unlicensed list is a clear warning.
How do I check if a betting site is licensed?
Find the company name in the site's footer or terms, then look for it, or the brand, on the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority's register at lslga.org. Check the licence end date too. The regulator also publishes a list of operators it found working without a licence.
