The live-bet app a lot of West African phones already have. Public lists pin the Nigeria and Ghana products; Tanzania is also on this map. Other SportyBet country sites need their own licence row.

SportyBet is a mobile-first sportsbook that became normal in Nigeria the way certain chat apps became normal — it is just there. In Lagos the operator name on the LSLGA table is Marawin Limited; in the FCT, Sporty Internet Limited / SportyBet sits on the approved list. Ghana’s Gaming Commission lists SportyBet for sports betting in 2026. Use the country code in the URL. A /ng wallet is not a /gh wallet.

Where we pin it

Country sites, not a continental stamp.

Other African country sites exist. Confirm each on the local register.

Legal note

The paper

Nigeria: Marawin Limited on Lagos tables; Sporty Internet Limited on FCT tables. Ghana: Gaming Commission sports-betting row for 2026. Tanzania: Marawin Limited / Sporty Bet on GBT. Re-check dates. Kenya: Dreamhub Technology Limited trades as Sportybet on the GRA licensed operators list for 2025/26 (bookmaking 0001203). On 18 October 2026 the GRA list was still headed 2025/26; check the regulator for status after 24 September 2026.

Payments

The cashier

Naira rails and agents in Nigeria. MoMo in Ghana. Fast deposits, then the usual “withdrawal pending” patience test every book in the region puts you through.

Sports focus

The slip

Live football. That is the product. Virtuals sit next to it in the same thumb zone.

Caveats

Country sites are separate. Do not force a naira account in Accra.
Older NLRC numbers on Nigerian footers are pre-2024 context.
Live betting is easy to chase. The app is built for the next minute. That is a design fact, not a dare.
