Betting News is AfricaSportBetting’s dedicated hub for betting news Africa readers rely on to stay ahead of a fast-moving industry. Rather than repeating the detailed country-by-country bookmaker comparisons found elsewhere on the site, this category tracks the broader forces shaping the market: new operator licences granted or revoked by regulators such as Kenya’s GRA, Nigeria’s NLRC, Zambia’s BCLB, Uganda’s NLGRB, Ghana’s Gaming Commission, Tanzania’s GBT, Côte d’Ivoire’s LONACI and Cameroon’s MINAT; enforcement actions against unlicensed platforms; and shifts in mobile money payment rules affecting deposits via M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, EcoCash and Vodafone Cash. You’ll also find coverage of seasonal promotions, bonus policy changes, and operator announcements as bookmakers compete for African punters ahead of major football tournaments. These African sports betting updates are written to help readers understand what a regulatory change or a new promotion actually means for where and how they can bet legally, without repeating the full licensing checklists and feature-by-feature comparisons already detailed in our country guides and individual bookmaker reviews. Check back regularly for the latest betting news Africa bettors need: licensing shifts, payment method changes, and promotional activity across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and other key markets.

New Bookmakers
Melbet

Melbet is licensed in Nigeria under both an NLRC Sports Betting Licence and a Lagos State Gaming Authority registration, with a broad sports and casino catalogue. Payment options cover bank transfer, OPay, PalmPay, Paystack, Flutterwave and major cards, though its Android app isn't on the Google Play Store and has to be installed manually.

Betika

Betika is Kenya's most-used sportsbook, run by Shop and Deliver Limited under GRA bookmaker licence BK-0001117 and public gaming licence PG-0001113, operating locally since 2016. M-Pesa deposits go through Paybill 290290 from as little as KES 50, though the Android app is only available as a direct APK download rather than through Google Play.

BetKing

BetKing is an established Nigerian bookmaker with fast local deposits via bank transfer, USSD, OPay and PalmPay, no withdrawal fee on its side and an accessible welcome offer. It lacks crypto, international e-wallets and mobile money.

SportyBet

SportyBet is one of Nigeria's most widely used sportsbooks, licensed by the NLRC and built around football. NPFL and Premier League fixtures get deep market sheets, and deposits work without a bank card via bank transfer, USSD, OPay and PalmPay. Other sports are covered but with thinner markets.

Betway

Betway Africa is the most complete sports betting product from an international operator, active in 7 countries with 30+ sports. Live betting extends to African domestic leagues, and its esports section is the deepest on the continent, though minimum stakes run higher than local rivals.
