The best betting sites in Cameroon run on a .cm address under an authorisation from the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MINAT), take MTN MoMo and Orange Money in CFA francs, and only accept players aged 21 or over. On our Cameroon list, BetWinner, 1xBet and Melbet print MINAT authorisation numbers on their Cameroonian sites.
Paripesa, 22Bet, Linebet, 888starz, 1win and the crypto sites sit in the same table. Deposits and withdrawals through betting platforms carry a 1% transfer tax plus 4 FCFA per operation.
Best betting sites in Cameroon, reviewed site by site
Each site below is set out with its authorisation status, its franc offer and the wagering behind it. The MINAT-authorised books come first.
1xBet
1xBet operates 1xbet.cm through Nexus SAS under MINAT authorisation No. 000020, granted on 24 February 2023. Accounts are held in CFA francs, and the site carries virtual sports and crash games next to football.
Its 200% bonus starts at FCFA 600. One half needs 5x on combos of three selections at 1.40 and the other 30x in the games section, within 30 days.
Melbet
Melbet runs melbet-cm.com through Loyal Country SAS under MINAT authorisation No. 000063, issued on 25 July 2024, and offers Android and iOS apps. Its address ends in .com, while the 2019 decree asks authorised sites to use a .cm name.
Its 200% bonus needs 8x on combos with three legs at 2.10 or more, within 30 days, from FCFA 600.
BetWinner
BetWinner operates betwinner.cm through Digital Lab Limited Betwinner S.A. under MINAT authorisation No. 000036 of 9 September 2021. The site keeps CFA franc accounts, lists Orange and MTN mobile money, and offers Android and iOS apps.
It also runs TOTO-15 and TOTO correct score pools. The welcome match is the same 200% as 1xBet’s, split between 5x on combos and 30x on Win Games over 30 days.
Paripesa
Paripesa offers Cameroonian players sports betting and a casino, with 100% on the first deposit up to FCFA 65,000 from FCFA 650 and a month to meet the 5x target on combos at 1.40.
22Bet
22Bet launched 22Bet Cameroon in French and English in October 2021, and press reports list it among the approved operators. Its Cameroonian site blocks visitors from abroad. The first deposit is matched 100% up to FCFA 65,000.
Linebet
Linebet holds a Curaçao licence and doubles the first deposit for sports betting, up to €100 paid in francs, from FCFA 655.97, and gives a month for 5x at 1.40.
888starz
888starz, licensed in Curaçao, accepts Cameroonian players with a CFA franc account and pays a sports bonus on four deposits: 100% up to FCFA 65,000, then 50%, 25% and 25%, up to FCFA 260,000. Each part needs 5x within 7 days.
1win
1win puts sports and casino side by side, with a welcome package spread over four deposits that clears in its Bonus Wagering casino games.
BC.Game
BC.Game is a crypto casino and sportsbook that accepts a very long list of tokens and adds bonuses of 180% to 360% on the first four deposits.

At Stake, the welcome code brings 3.5% rakeback rather than a deposit bonus.
Gamdom
Gamdom, licensed in Anjouan, lifts rakeback to 15% for the first week.
Cloudbet
Cloudbet, a crypto bookmaker founded in 2013, states that withdrawals are handled within 24 hours.

Is online betting legal in Cameroon?
Yes, with a MINAT authorisation. Law No. 2015/012 and its implementing decree of 18 July 2019 put online bets and online poker under an authorisation regime, granted by the minister in charge of gaming for five years and renewable.
That minister heads MINAT, whose Service des Jeux studies authorisation files and polices gaming. The reference on an authorisation, such as 000036/O/MINAT/SG/DAP/SDLP/SJ, traces that chain.
An authorised operator must run its site on a .cm address, have a subsidiary in Cameroon if it is foreign, and lodge a bank guarantee of FCFA 200 million to cover players’ balances. The decree orders clandestine online betting closed, and its penalties target operators, not players.
MINAT publishes no online list of authorisations, so the check happens in the site footer. Look for the MINAT number and a company name, and confirm the address ends in .cm.
What does the 1% transfer tax cost Cameroonian bettors?
Since the 2025 Finance Law, money moved into or out of a betting platform carries a 1% transfer tax, up from the standard 0.2%, plus a fixed 4 FCFA per operation. The Ministry of Finance describes it as a tax on deposits and withdrawals in gambling and entertainment activities.
On a FCFA 50,000 withdrawal that means FCFA 500 in tax, plus the 4-franc duty. A FCFA 10,000 deposit costs FCFA 100 more on the way in.
Your wallet’s own fees come on top when you cash out at an agent. At Orange Money, withdrawing FCFA 5,000 to FCFA 399,999 costs 1% plus 4 francs; MTN MoMo charges 1% plus taxes between FCFA 4,167 and FCFA 333,332.
One larger withdrawal pays the same percentages as several small ones but only one 4-franc duty, and below FCFA 5,000 Orange charges a flat 54 francs. Group your cash-outs.
Funding a franc account with MTN MoMo and Orange Money
MTN MoMo and Orange Money deposits are made in the betting site’s cashier: choose the network, enter the amount in francs and approve the prompt with your PIN. BetWinner’s Cameroonian payment page lists both.
- Open the cashier and pick Orange or MTN.
- Enter the amount; the welcome offers start at FCFA 600 to FCFA 650.
- Approve the prompt on your phone.
- Withdraw later to the same wallet, in your own name.
MTN MoMo allows deposits of up to FCFA 5 million a day and withdrawals of FCFA 500,000 each, up to FCFA 2.5 million a day. Orange Money caps a single withdrawal at FCFA 500,000 and allows 300 withdrawals a month.
By law, only you can fund your betting account, through your own payment instrument. Our MTN MoMo page and mobile money hub cover the steps.
Which welcome offer suits a Cameroonian punter?
The MINAT-authorised sites on our list all pay a 200% first deposit match from FCFA 600, so the deciding factor is how each bonus is wagered. The international sites pay 100% matches up to FCFA 65,000.
| Site | Welcome offer | Min deposit | Wagering | Clear within |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1xBet | 200% up to FCFA 130,000 | FCFA 600 | Half 5x on combos at 1.40+, half 30x in games | 30 days |
| BetWinner | 200% up to FCFA 130,000 | FCFA 600 | Half 5x on combos at 1.40+, half 30x on Win Games | 30 days |
| Melbet | 200% up to FCFA 130,000 | FCFA 600 | 8x on combos, 3 legs at 2.10+ | 30 days |
| Paripesa | 100% up to FCFA 65,000 | FCFA 650 | 5x on combos, 3 legs at 1.40+ | 30 days |
| Linebet | 100% up to €100, paid in francs | FCFA 655.97 | 5x on combos, 3 legs at 1.40+ | 30 days |
On a FCFA 15,000 deposit, Melbet’s FCFA 30,000 bonus needs FCFA 240,000 in combos at 2.10. 1xBet splits the same FCFA 30,000: FCFA 75,000 in combos and FCFA 450,000 in games.
If you only bet football at short prices, Paripesa’s 5x at 1.40 is the cheapest to clear; among the authorised sites, Melbet suits combos of bigger prices.
Elite One betting and responsible play in Cameroon
The 2026-2027 MTN Elite One season starts on 17 October 2026 with 14 clubs playing home and away, and the bottom two relegated. Colombe sportive du Dja-et-Lobo are the champions, with Coton Sport, Canon de Yaoundé and Dynamo de Douala among the clubs; Elite Two starts on 24 October.
No national gambling helpline exists, so the tools sit with the operators. The decree requires every licensed operator to offer self-exclusion, self-set deposit and stake limits, and a live view of your balance. It must also exclude anyone on the ministry’s ban files.
Betting on credit is forbidden, and you must be 21. Set your limits on the first day, and read our self-exclusion guide if you need a break.
Cameroon betting sites with a bonus
These are the welcome offers from the top of the main table for Cameroon. Read each one as a wagering target: the stakes you must place to clear it matter more than the headline percentage.
The figures are the operators’ current published offers in XAF. Tap through to confirm the qualifying deposit, the odds that count and the days you have to claim, then match the deposit to a stake you would place in Cameroon anyway.
A smaller match you can clear in full often returns more than a big headline you cannot. Weigh the rollover and the claim window, not just the top-line number, before you opt in.
Linebet · 100% up to €100 (paid in FCFA)
Paripesa · 100% up to 65,000 FCFA
1xBet · 200% up to 130,000 FCFA
MTN Mobile Money and other deposit methods at Cameroon betting sites
The wallets and cards most used for betting in Cameroon are MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money. Each method below links to the sites that accept it and the steps to deposit and withdraw.
The method you pick matters most at withdrawal, so choose a site that supports your wallet for payouts as well as deposits.
Choose XAF as your account currency at sign-up. A few international sites quote their bonus in euros or US dollars and pay it in XAF at the daily exchange rate, so check the amount shown for Cameroon before you deposit.
Frequently asked questions
Authorised operators must verify your identity, age and address and the payment account your winnings go to, so have a national ID card or passport and the mobile money number in your own name ready. Only you may open and fund your account, through your own payment instrument.
The 2019 decree orders clandestine online betting closed and targets operators, not players, with penalties. You do lose protections: authorised operators must offer a free complaints procedure and hold a FCFA 200 million bank guarantee for players' balances, and an unauthorised site has neither in Cameroon.
The operator repays it. If a closed account still holds money that cannot be repaid, the operator keeps it for three years, and if it is still unclaimed after that the money goes to the State. Keep your mobile money number up to date so a refund can reach you.
Cameroon has no national gambling helpline. The decree instead makes every authorised operator offer self-exclusion, self-set deposit and stake limits and a live view of your balance, and requires it to check the ministry's ban files. Set your limits in the account settings on day one.
