Cameroon – sports betting & bookmakers

As in many African countries, online betting fever is gradually taking hold in Cameroon. Here’s an overview.

Gambling legislation in Cameroon

Cameroonians have a long-standing passion for gambling. For more than ten years, horse racing has brought together a large community of punters. Officially established in 2007, Cameroon’s Gambling Commission is responsible for regulating and controlling the country’s gambling industry. Its authority extends to the online gambling arena and, despite the easing of restrictions, the body remains very attentive and strict in the exercise of its duties in order to combat cybercrime.

However, even though many bookmakers are authorised in Cameroon, Internet coverage remains very limited for the market to develop. So, for tourists and locals alike, the casino remains the main option for entertainment. The country has three quality establishments: the Hilton Hotel casino in the capital Yaoundé and the Pullman Rabingha and Treasure Hunter casinos in Douala. At these luxury resorts, guests can enjoy a variety of traditional gaming tables and slot machines, then spend their winnings in the restaurant, swimming pools or spa.

Cameroon’s favourite bookmakers

More than 50 remote gaming operators have received licences from the Cameroonian agency responsible for regulating leisure activities. They include many well-known names such as 1xBet, Roisbet, Premier Bet, Betwinner and 22Bet.

1xBet in particular is on the rise in the Cameroonian online gaming market. Its reputation continues to grow thanks to a wide range of games and higher odds on the same sporting events than other brands. Added to this is the possibility of betting on live matches (more than a thousand matches a day). Transactions are totally secure and accessible via a multitude of payment methods, including VISA and MasterCard.

22Bet is just as popular, with over 1,000 daily game titles across a wide range of disciplines. Thanks to a state-of-the-art interface, it takes just a few clicks to browse the day’s fixtures and place your bets. You also have access to statistics and reviews to help you work on your predictions. Keep an eye out for promotions to maximise your winnings!
