The full list

All twenty-five, ranked and priced

Every operator we have found that will accept a player betting from Somalia, ordered by how well it serves someone on a Somali phone with a small bankroll.

25 operatorsUpdated August 2026

This is the conventional list, 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.

Common questions

Why are card-only operators still on this list?

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.

Is the order ever changed for commercial reasons?

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.
