Best Betting Sites in
Ivory Coast 2026

Ivorian betting interest is driven by football. Les Éléphants won the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in early 2024, the domestic Ligue 1 has long-standing rivalries led by ASEC Mimosas, and French Ligue 1 and the Premier League fill most weekend slips.

Payments are just as local. Orange Money, MTN MoMo, Moov Money and Wave move CFA francs between phones in seconds, and the practical test of any betting site is how well it fits that. Below: how the international books compare, what their bonuses pay in XOF, how funding works, and an honest note on the legal position.

Orange Money, MTN, Moov and Wave

Orange Money is the most widely used wallet in Côte d'Ivoire, with MTN MoMo and Moov Money close behind and Wave growing fast on its low fees. At the books in our table, mobile money deposits work by prompt: choose your wallet in the cashier, enter your number and amount, and approve with your PIN. Wave support varies more by bookmaker than the other three, so check the cashier before you register if Wave is your main wallet.

Withdrawals go back to the wallet and number you deposited from, so choose it deliberately. Our MTN MoMo guide covers the prompt flow and fixes for failed payments, which work the same way on the other wallets. Crypto is supported at 1xBet, 1win and MegaPari and is the fastest withdrawal option.

Les Éléphants, Ligue 1 and Europe

National-team fixtures draw the biggest betting interest, and the leading books price AFCON and World Cup qualifiers with full markets. 1xBet goes furthest on the Ivorian Ligue 1, with totals and handicaps as well as match results. For European football, French Ligue 1 is followed as closely as the Premier League, and 22Bet and Melbet offer the deepest French markets in our table. Our football betting guide explains the main market types.

CFA franc bonuses

Current XOF offers in our table: 100% up to about FCFA 106,000 at Melbet; 200% up to about FCFA 84,000 at MegaPari; 100% up to about FCFA 73,000 at 1xBet and BetWinner; and 1win's 500% package spread across four deposits. The XOF figure moves with the exchange rate. Every offer has wagering requirements, so read the terms, or decline the bonus to keep your deposit fully withdrawable.

Understand the legal position

Côte d'Ivoire regulates gambling nationally. Under Law No. 2020-480, online betting is authorised only on platforms approved within the national framework, and the regulator, the ARJH, oversees the sector. LONACI's own betting products and a handful of approved partners hold that status. The international bookmakers in our table do not. If local legal protection matters to you, use an approved local platform. This page describes the international options for information only.

Getting started safely

Verify your identity with your national ID as soon as you register, because unverified accounts cannot withdraw. Deposit a small amount first to check that the prompt works, and withdraw a small win to the same wallet before you scale up. Never pay a "deposit agent" on WhatsApp or Telegram, and install apps only from the bookmaker's official site. Our withdrawal guide covers the documents books ask for.

Betting responsibly

Set a deposit limit in your account on day one, keep betting money separate from money for essentials, and never chase losses with a new deposit. Every book listed offers limits and self-exclusion, and our responsible gambling page lists free support. Strictly 18+.
