Best bookmakers in Mozambique

Mozambique licenses betting through the Inspecção Geral de Jogos, the gaming inspectorate of the Ministry of Economy, and its market is young and mobile: Betway holds a local licence, Elephant Bet, the Editec group’s Mozambican brand, has shops across the country, and Vodacom’s M-Pesa moves the money. Here are the three that scored best in our tests with a Mozambican account.

How betting works in Mozambique

The inspectorate licenses operators under the gambling law, requires a Mozambican company and verification with the national ID, and publishes the list; the licensed market is small and the international platforms accept Mozambicans without a licence through Portuguese-language sites. Betway launched a licensed Mozambican site, Elephant Bet runs shops and a site, and Betpawa and Premier Bet-affiliated brands have entered.

Prices on the Premier League, the Portuguese league, the most-followed abroad, and the Moçambola sit around eight percent margin. Winnings are paid in full on licensed sites under current rules; operators pay a tax on revenue. Payments are M-Pesa, e-Mola and mKesh, the three mobile wallets, in and out within minutes, and cash at shops; mobile money withdrawals arrived within minutes in our tests.
