State licences, not a national one. Since the Supreme Court judgment of November 2024, gaming in Nigeria is licensed by each state; the federal NLRC publishes no operator list. We check the two public state lists, Lagos (LSLGA) and the Federal Capital Territory (LRO). A licence in one state does not by itself cover the others. End dates are shown exactly as each regulator publishes them.

Questions

Is SportyBet licensed in Nigeria?

SportyBet appears on the Lagos (LSLGA) and FCT (LRO) licence lists (checked 2026-10-05). Sportybet: Marawin Limited, Lagos (LSLGA): ONLINE SPORTS BETTING/ONLINE CASINO, end date as published January 4 2027; SPORTYBET: SPORTY INTERNET LIMITED, FCT (LRO): Sports Betting Operators, end date as published 30th JUL 2028; SPORTY BET: SPORTY INTERNET LTD, FCT (LRO): Casino Gaming Operators, end date as published 30th JUNE 2028.

Is SportyBet legal in Nigeria?

It is licensed in Lagos State and the FCT (Abuja), the areas whose lists we check. Nigeria has no national licence list: each state licenses gaming, and a licence in one state does not by itself cover the others. Only the listed company and its own service are covered; a look-alike site or app is not.

Which SportyBet website is licensed in Nigeria?

Neither the Lagos nor the FCT list publishes web addresses, so we cannot confirm a specific address. Check the operator's licence details with the regulator.

How do I register or log in to SportyBet safely?

Because the LSLGA and FCT LRO list gives no address, check that the site or app you use shows its Nigeria licence before you sign up, deposit or log in. Sign-up links shared on social media and look-alike domains are a common route to unlicensed copies.
