The full list
Every betting site we have found that accepts a player wagering from Somalia, ordered by how well it serves someone on a Somali phone with a small bankroll.
This is the conventional list of betting sites in Somalia, and it is here because people search for it. The order is set by the weighting published on how we test: payments and payout speed carry the most weight, football depth next, bonus size least. Nothing in the order is for sale.
If you have not worked out your route yet, the route finder is a faster way to a useful answer, because it removes the operators you cannot actually reach before it ranks anything.
Somalia has no domestic licensing regime and no locally licensed bookmaker, so every operator on this page is an offshore site accepting Somali players from abroad. That single fact drives everything else. There is no regulator in Mogadishu to appeal to, the payment rails are improvised rather than official, and the operator sets the rules of any dispute.
Three things separate a betting site that works from Somalia from one that merely lets you register. The first is the deposit route. Very few operators connect to Somali mobile money directly, so in practice most readers convert EVC Plus, Zaad or Sahal balance into USDT with a local trader and deposit the crypto. The cost ledger prices that conversion honestly, because the trader spread is usually a larger expense than anything the bookmaker charges.
The second is whether the operator restricts Somalia in its own terms. Several do, and registering anyway produces an account that functions perfectly until the moment you try to withdraw a win. The third is the app, because the domain block introduced in 2023 makes the website unreliable on some Somali networks while the native app usually keeps working.
Each betting site carries five scores: payments, football depth, withdrawals, bonus value, and app quality. Payments and withdrawals dominate the weighting because a generous bonus on a site you cannot get paid from is worth nothing. Bonus size carries the least weight for the same reason.
Where an operator publishes a figure in its own terms, we cite it. Where it does not, the review says so plainly rather than repeating a number copied from another affiliate. Nine of the thirty-six publish no general minimum deposit at all, only a bonus-linked one, which is not what most comparison pages will tell you. The methodology page sets out the weighting and, more importantly, what we have not tested.
The deepest football book that will take a one dollar deposit.

Worth it if
The best built product here, and the one that asks for the least paperwork.
Worth it if
A serious football book with an entry price that assumes you are not starting small.

Worth it if
Crypto only, casino first, and it rarely asks who you are.

A five USDT door and a licence position the terms themselves contradict.
Worth it if
A crypto casino with a sports tab bolted on the side.
Worth it if
No identity check until your deposits total 2,200 dollars, then it becomes mandatory.

The front page says no verification. The terms say yes. Believe the terms.
Worth it if
The strongest licensing on this page, and the hardest account to open from Somalia.
Worth it if
A one dollar door built for African markets, with the paperwork left until withdrawal.
Worth it if
A one dollar door with a blockchain layer most readers will never need.
Worth it if
Thirty years of history and a registration process built for a country you do not live in.
Worth it if
A Nigerian book with a Nigerian licence and Nigerian paperwork.
Worth it if
National licences across Africa, and Somalia is not one of the countries.
Worth it if
It prints the number at which documents start. Almost nobody else in this market does.
Worth it if
Seven restricted countries, none of them Somalia, behind a clause that reserves every check.
Worth it if
Eight restricted countries, Somalia not among them, and a published 72 hour verification clock.
Worth it if
Twenty-nine restricted territories without Somalia, and no gambling licence published anywhere.
Worth it if
A one cent floor, a licence number you can look up, and eleven named prohibited jurisdictions.
Worth it if
Running since 2015 with wide coin support, and a restricted list we could only read second hand.
Worth it if
A printed verification threshold and a two USDT floor, under an Anjouan licence rather than Curacao.
Worth it if
Somalia is welcome. Anonymity is not: step one verification is mandatory before any withdrawal.
Worth it if
Over fifty restricted territories and Somalia is not one, but withdrawal verification is mandatory.
Worth it if
Played inside Telegram, short restricted list without Somalia, mandatory verification to withdraw.
Worth it if
Listed for completeness, not recommended. The document demand exceeds that of regulated books.
Worth it if
Because a large part of our readership is in the diaspora, where a card works perfectly well and the licensing on those operators is genuinely better. Betway and Parimatch are near-unusable from inside Somalia and among the strongest choices from London or Minneapolis. The reviews say which is which rather than pretending one answer fits both.
No. Every operator here pays a commission and the rates differ substantially between them. If commission set the order, the list would look different. See the weighting, which is published in full.
