Best Betting Sites in Uganda

This guide to betting sites in Uganda compares ten bookmakers by:

• UGX accounts;
• MTN MoMo and Airtel Money payments;
• minimum odds;
• welcome bonuses;

Age, tax and licensing

The National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board (NLGRB) regulates sports betting in Uganda. The NLGRB register identifies companies licensed to operate in Uganda. To place sports bets, bettors must be at least 25 years old, even if an advert says 18+.

The NLGRB’s 2026 register lists 1xBet under Advanced Gaming Limited (NLGRB-BM-26-0206) and 22Bet under Arcadia Hospitality Ltd (NLGRB-BM-26-0221). A website that accepts Ugandan players does not, by itself, prove that it holds a local licence. The local licensing status of the other eight brands has not been confirmed here. Bettors can check the NLGRB register for the operator’s legal name, brand and website.

Betting operators pay 30% tax on stakes received minus payouts. A separate 15% withholding tax applies to a bettor’s net winnings. For a 50k UGX stake at odds of 3.00, the gross return is 150k UGX. The net win is 100k UGX, the tax is 15k UGX and the payout after tax is 135k UGX.

Top 10 Betting Sites in Uganda

The table shows the advertised welcome bonus and the minimum qualifying deposit for each bookmaker.

The reviews cover wagering requirements, payment methods and mobile access. Promotions and payment limits may depend on the account and country.

1. CaptainsBet

CaptainsBet advertises a first-deposit bonus of up to 410k UGX. The minimum qualifying deposit is 15k UGX. The bonus has a 5x wagering requirement. Only accumulator bets count. Each bet slip must include at least two matches, with odds of 1.60 or higher for each selection.

If the 5x requirement applies to the full bonus, the qualifying stakes total 2.05M UGX within three days. This is the shortest deadline among the offers reviewed.

2. Harakabet

Harakabet began in 2024 and offers a UGX account. It advertises a first-deposit package of 200% up to 700k UGX, with deposits from 1k UGX. The main offer states a 7x wagering requirement within seven days. The listed qualifying bets include singles and accumulators of at least three events, with minimum odds of 1.80 for each selection. If 7x applies to the full 700k UGX, the required turnover would be 4.9M UGX. A separate 100% offer is capped at 354k UGX. It starts from a 3k UGX deposit, carries a 5x wagering requirement and gives players 30 days. The stated minimum odds are 1.40.

Harakabet has graphical match trackers for live football, tennis, cricket and other sports. These trackers are not video streams. MTN MoMo and Airtel Money deposits are listed from 500 UGX to 4M UGX, with withdrawals from 1k UGX to 5M UGX. Harakabet offers an Android APK and a mobile website for iPhone users.

3. Afropari

Afropari advertises a 300% first-deposit bonus up to 735k UGX, with a minimum qualifying deposit of 1,850 UGX. At 300%, a 245k UGX deposit would reach the advertised cap. Players must select the offer before depositing. The stated rules require accumulators with at least six selections, each at odds of 2.30 or higher. Six selections at exactly 2.30 produce combined odds of about 148.04.

The advertised wagering requirement is 8x within 30 days. If it applies to a 735k UGX bonus, the required qualifying stakes come to 5.88M UGX. Six selections at such high minimum odds make this condition more restrictive than the two- or three-leg offers described above.

• bank cards;
• mobile payment services (Mobile Money);
• e-wallets;
• cryptocurrencies.

A Yes in the Mobile Money column means at least one mobile wallet was listed, not necessarily both MTN MoMo and Airtel Money.

For Mobile Money transfers, check the minimum withdrawal and the receiving number, not just the minimum deposit. Check any fees shown in the bookmaker’s cashier and on the wallet confirmation screen.

Signing up

1xBet, Melbet and Megapari list several account registration methods. Bet365 and BC.GAME also list email or social sign-in as registration options. With one-click registration, keep the issued login details safe. Identity checks may be required before a withdrawal.

• One-click account with bookmaker-issued credentials;
• Mobile phone number;
• Email address;
• Social account.

Use your real name, date of birth and contact details. An operator may request a national ID or passport to verify age and identity. Use a Mobile Money wallet registered in your own name to avoid problems with withdrawal checks.

New Betting Sites in Uganda

Harakabet, founded in 2024, has the most recent reported launch year in this list. Megapari dates to 2019, 22Bet to 2018 and BC.GAME to 2017. These are brand launch years, not confirmed dates of entry into Uganda.

For any new site, check:

• UGX deposits and withdrawals;
• available Mobile Money networks;
• withdrawal limits;
• the quality of customer support.

Cash Out Betting Sites in Uganda

Cash out allows an eligible bet to be settled early for the sum offered by the bookmaker. The following operators advertise it for selected markets:

• Bet365;
• 1xBet;
• Melbet;
• 22Bet;
• Megapari.

22Bet also advertises partial cash out, which closes part of an eligible bet and leaves the rest open. Cash-out offers can change or disappear if a market is suspended.

A 20k UGX accumulator at combined odds of 8.00 has a potential return of 160k UGX. Suppose three selections have won and the bookmaker offers a 95k UGX cash-out value before the final match ends. Accepting it settles the bet at 95k UGX before any applicable withholding tax, rather than waiting for the possible full return. The offer depends on the remaining selection and current odds. It is not a fixed deduction from the potential return.

How to Choose Uganda Betting Sites

The following checks are useful:

1. Match the operator’s trading name, legal entity and website to the current NLGRB register.
2. Check whether the cashier offers UGX and your own MTN MoMo or Airtel Money service, including the amount you intend to withdraw.
3. Read the bonus rules for qualifying bets, minimum odds, deadlines and unused bonus funds.
4. Decide whether you need a browser-based service, Android APK or iOS app. Download apps only from the bookmaker’s official website or an official app store.
5. Check which support channels are available if a transaction is delayed. Keep the transaction reference and the operator’s response.

Responsible betting

Keep money for betting separate from rent, food, transport, school fees and phone bills. Deposit limits, betting limits, time away from betting and self-exclusion can help prevent further losses. The NLGRB provides responsible gambling information and self-exclusion support; its toll-free helpline is 0800 285 800.
