SportyBet review: licences, payments and limits

Sportsbook and casino · sportybet.com
Published 14 October 2026 Updated 23 October 2026

SportyBet is licensed in Lagos: the LSLGA register lists Marawin Limited (Sportybet) for online sports betting and online casino until 4 January 2027. The site also lists an NLRC licence, number 0001014. Its FAQ says withdrawals are free of charge and normally processed automatically, though a withdrawal can fail if it hits your bank's daily transfer limit. Stakes run from ₦10 to ₦40,000,000 per ticket. Self-exclusion is arranged through customer care after an identity check, and can't be lifted early. One thing to know: balance you haven't staked may not be withdrawable while you're excluded. Details below were checked on the official site on 14 October 2026, and the Lagos licence was confirmed on the LSLGA register on 23 October 2026.
