Liberia
Sports betting in Liberia, online and in betting booths, is licensed and supervised by the National Lottery Authority (NLA), and the minimum age is 18. In October 2026 the NLA set a minimum paid-up capital of US$500,000 for online casino and sports betting operators and announced a central system to monitor transactions in real time.
Liberia licenses sports betting, lotteries and other games of chance through the National Lottery Authority (NLA). The NLA licenses operators, inspects betting booths, gaming centres and lottery kiosks, and has suspended and revoked licences for breaches of its gaming regulations.
What Changed for Liberian Betting Operators in 2026?
Under Resolution No. 005 of 2026, published in October 2026, online casino and sports betting operators must hold minimum paid-up capital of US$500,000, backed by audited accounts and bank confirmation, and existing licensees have 180 days to comply. The NLA is also launching a Central Lottery Management System to monitor transactions in real time, and operators must connect to it within 180 days of it going live. Licensees must keep transaction and player records for at least five years, meet ISO/IEC 27001 security standards and report serious breaches within 24 hours.
Who Can Bet in Liberia?
You must be 18 or older. In February 2026 the NLA began a nationwide crackdown on underage gambling, with inspectors checking betting booths, mini-slot halls and lottery kiosks, and operators that let minors gamble face fines, suspension or closure. Some operators set a higher age of their own: Premier Bet Liberia shows a 25+ limit on its site.
Are Prediction Markets Legal in Liberia?
In February 2026 Liberia's online gaming commission authorised prediction markets under the Liberian International Gaming Licence, a framework regulated by the NLA for operators and suppliers. The framework is aimed at internationally facing businesses, so check that any prediction market you use holds a Liberian licence.
Which Betting Sites Are Licensed in Liberia?
The NLA does not publish an online list of licensees. Premier Bet runs a Liberian site at premierbet.com/lr under licence in Liberia.
