Somali footballers in a match, one player striking the ball on a sandy pitch as team mates close in
Football comes first here, from the Somali Premier League to the biggest European fixtures.

Where you are decides how you get in

In Somalia, your wallet sets the first step. Abroad, your address decides whether a site will even open the account.

  • In Somalia

    Depositing from inside Somalia

    Four wallets, four networks. Hormuud runs EVC Plus in the south and centre, Telesom runs ZAAD in Somaliland, Golis runs SAHAL in Puntland, and Somtel eDahab reaches furthest. None of them pays a betting site directly, so you change to USDT on TRON first.

    Read the operator terms and country list before you register.

    The conversion step, in order
  • Outside Somalia

    Signing up from another country

    Your address decides the account, not your passport. These sites are licensed offshore, and most will refuse you in the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada and most of the EU. In the Gulf and East Africa they usually open.

    Local law and site terms apply, and some countries ban betting outright. Check the site's country list before you register.

How the order is set

The seven things every book is judged on, and what each is worth.

Read the methodology

Four questions, one shortlist

Answer four questions and this cuts the list down.

Where are you opening the account from
How would you rather move money
What do you mainly want to bet on
What matters most to you first

Answer the four questions and this panel will point you at one page to read next, plus up to three names taken from the published order on this site.

Names come back in the published order. Check the site takes your country and your payment method before you register.

Two sports, checked separately

Football is priced everywhere. Basketball thins out fast once you leave the big competitions.

  • Somali footballers competing for the ball during a local match
    Football coverage notes, written for Somali fixtures as well as European ones.

    Football betting sites

    Premier League and Champions League first, then LaLiga and Serie A, then Ocean Stars, the Somali Premier League, AFCON and the World Cup.

    Open the football page
  • Somali basketball players in a game on an outdoor court, one driving to the basket while a defender contests the shot
    Basketball coverage, from the NBA down to continental competition.

    Basketball betting sites

    The NBA is the draw, and market depth swings much harder here than it does in football. Some books price four lines, some price forty.

    Open the basketball page

From your wallet to the cashier

Seven routes cover almost everyone here. All four Somali wallets need the same conversion step.

  • EVC PlusMobile money, SomaliaHormuud, south and central Somalia. The most widely held wallet in the country.
  • ZaadMobile money, SomalilandTelesom, Somaliland. Big in Hargeisa and the northwest. Not the same as EVC Plus.
  • eDahabMobile money, SomaliaSomtel. The closest thing to nationwide.
  • SahalMobile money, SomaliaGolis, Puntland. Bosaso and Garowe rather than Mogadishu.
  • Visa and MastercardCardThe route for Somalis abroad. UK, Irish and most EU banks block betting payments.
  • BitcoinCryptoTaken almost everywhere here. Fees are higher and the price moves while it confirms.
  • USDT on TRC20CryptoDollar for dollar, cheap to send, and the default way out of Somalia. Send it on TRON.

A wallet that works in Mogadishu is no use in London, and a card that works in Sweden may be refused in the Gulf. Your bank and the site decide that, not us.

What this site is

Somaliabets compares betting sites. We do not take bets or hold your money. Sites pay us when a reader opens an account through our link. That money does not move the order, and a place on the list is not for sale. How we pay for this, and how the order is set.

Every operator listed here is based outside Somalia. Read the operator terms before you register.

Important. 18 plus only. Betting costs money and you can lose it. If it stops being fun, free and private help is at Gambling Therapy.

Questions readers ask

Can I bet from Somalia on these sites

Every operator listed here is based outside Somalia. Read the operator terms, country list and payment rules before you register.

I am Somali and I live abroad. Does this site still help

Yes, with one warning. The coverage notes, the odds and stake tools and the sport pages work wherever you read them. Getting an account does not. Most of these books refuse the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada and much of the EU. Where they do accept you.

What currency will my balance be in

USD on almost every book. Some also hold Bitcoin or USDT. The shilling only comes up in the payment guides, at the local wallet step.

Do I need crypto to bet

From inside Somalia, in practice yes. No book takes EVC Plus, ZAAD, SAHAL or eDahab directly, so you convert to USDT first. From abroad, a card sometimes works. The routes, side by side.

How long does a deposit take

The cashier must name the same network as your sending wallet. TRC20, ERC20 and BEP20 are different routes.

Is this list a ranking of the best sites

No. It is one published order, the same on every page, and it is not a merit table. How it is decided.

What code do I use for a welcome offer

The one on the book's row. It is kept current, so it beats any code copied out of an article. All the codes.

When should I verify my ID

Early, before you have a balance worth arguing about. Books that ask at withdrawal are the ones readers get stuck on. What they ask for.
