BetKing's Lagos licence period has ended, and the register doesn't yet show a renewal

BetKing's current licence period on the Lagos register ended on 24 October 2026. When we checked the register of the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA) again on 27 October, it still listed SV Gaming Limited (BetKing) for online sports betting and online casino from 25 October 2025 to 24 October 2026. No renewed period was shown.

What the LSLGA says about end dates

The LSLGA's own guidance says that once a licence end date has passed, the operator isn't authorised for that service until the licence is renewed. Lagos licences on the register run for a year, and a renewed period doesn't always appear on the register on the day the old one ends.

The FCT Lottery Regulatory Office's list of approved operators shows BetKing (SV Gaming Limited) as running for sports betting until 31 July 2028 and for casino until 1 April 2029. That list covers the FCT only, and it doesn't say when it was last updated.

What this means if you bet with BetKing in Lagos

• Nothing has been announced. Neither BetKing nor the LSLGA has said anything publicly about the licence, as far as we could find.
• Keep records. If you have money in your account, note your balance and keep your transaction history, as you would with any operator.
• Check before you deposit a large amount. You can check the LSLGA register yourself in a couple of minutes. Our guide to checking a betting licence in Lagos shows how.
