Full Directory of Betting Sites Accepting Sri Lankan Players (375+)

This is our complete list of betting sites in Sri Lanka. We’ve verified each bookmaker’s license and confirmed that each site accepts registrations and deposits from Sri Lankan players.

What we haven’t done is reviewed each bookie to ensure they’re a genuinely good option for Sri Lankan bettors. Some brands on this page are crypto only, some don’t support iPay or Upay, and others don’t even support LKR currency.

If you want to see the options built for you, check out our list of the top betting sites in Sri Lanka. Here you’ll find over 20 options with LKR balances, iPay and Upay deposits, local bank transfers via Sampath Vishwa or Bank of Ceylon, cricket coverage that goes beyond the IPL, and locally operated betting agencies.

My friends call me Pepito – I’ll save your time and not share the story on how I got this name! I am a sports betting enthusiast, my passion first started by betting on the 2010 World Cup. Since 2010 my passion has only grown, betting with friends and looking for any edge we can find. The result has been thousands of bets placed across hundreds of different bookmakers, markets, leagues, and even within different countries. In my experience there are very few honest comparison websites out there and even fewer that actually give you all the options. So, I was inspired to make listofallbookmakers.com. Here we give you all the options (not just those who will pay websites like ours 😉) with transparent reviews. I like to highlight the items that I look for when finding a new bookie – mainly being competitiveness of the odds, variety of bets to place, welcome offers, and trustworthiness. We’re a small but passionate team looking to help out all types of bettors from across the world!

Hello List Of All Bookmakers readers! My name is Robert, though I also go by Rob, Bob, Boby, a few other nicknames depending on what circle I’m running in, or how “professional” I need to appear 😅. I’m 29 years old and originally from Canada (La Belle Province), although I have been living around the world for the past 6 years as a digital nomad. I’ve spent time living across Europe and Canada, enjoying different cultures and experiences, all while working remotely as a content writer and website manager. I am a friend of Pépito who shares his passion for sports betting, which was the major catalyst for me to join the List Of All Bookmakers project. Within sports betting, I get most of my fun from claiming lucrative promos and welcome offers, what many refer to as “bonus hunting”. Bonus hunting involves searching for welcome offers, promotions, and other opportunities for players to turn bonus cash into real cash efficiently. There are enough welcome bonuses out there to fill a lifetime of work, my speciality is finding the best ones that are worth your time to claim. Like Pépito, I’m an active member in a small community of online betting and online casino enthusiasts. My travels (and my VPN 😇) allow me to test most casinos before we publish reviews. Sharing my knowledge, experience, and of course must-claim offers is a real passion of mine, and exactly what I will be bringing to LOAB!

How This Directory Differs From Our Top Sri Lanka List

Our online betting Sri Lanka list is short, opinionated, and filters out the duds. On that page we only pick the operators that combine competitive cricket odds, local payments, LKR support, decent customer service, and welcome bonuses actually worth claiming. Every brand there has been reviewed by our team and we present the most important details to make comparing easy.

This directory is the opposite. The only filter we apply is to check if the sites accept local players. It’s the most complete directory of online bookmakers in Sri Lanka, with over 375 options. We offer this list for transparency, for those who want to verify a bookie’s license, and for those who want an extensive list of all the options available. Being on this page is not a recommendation in itself. We advise each reader to check a site’s full catalogue before playing, and our #1 tip is to doublecheck restricted countries and payment terms.

Ultimate Sri Lankan Bookmakers Table: 375+ Betting Sites

Sorted alphabetically by default. Filter by licence type or gaming product, sort by any column, or use the search box to jump straight to a brand.

Something missing? If you know of a licensed operator accepting Sri Lankan players that isn’t on this list, get in touch and we’ll investigate. We update this register as new licences are issued and as operators change their market access.

What We Mean By “Licensed”

Every operator in the table below holds an active iGaming license from one of the following regulators:

• Anjouan Gaming: A rapidly growing choice among less established bookmakers across Asia and crypto markets. Licence numbers begin with “ALSI”.
• CGA (Curaçao Gaming Authority): Once considered a dodgy regulator, the CGA has become more restrictive in recent years. Still not an definitive signal of legitimacy, but trending in the right direction.
• MGA (Malta Gaming Authority). One of the strictest and most recognised European regulators.
• Gibraltar Gaming License. Home to the largest international brands. High level of safety and long track record.
• KGC (Kahnawake Gaming Commission). Less popular across Asia, the KGC is based in Canada and has a long history of licensing online gambling.
• Tobique Gaming Commission. Similar to KGC, but less popular and less history to go on.
• Sri Lankan Gaming. Issued locally under the Betting and Gaming Levy Act of 2023. Only two operators hold this licence: BETSS and STbet.

For a deeper dive into how these regulators differ and why the choice matters, see our guide to offshore betting licences.

How to Choose The Best Betting Site For You

The directory below hosts over 375 operators, but realistically, even the most serious of bettors only need a handful of accounts. Here’s what we recommend to check for before depositing at any Sri Lankan bookie:

Local Payment Methods and Currency

One of the most practical things you can check is if a bookmaker supports the payment method you want to use for both deposits and withdrawals. Note that just because a site shows the logo of the payment method on their footer, it doesn’t mean that option will be available to you. We recommend creating an account and checking deposit and withdrawal methods, or writing to each site’s customer support. These are the payment methods you can expect from the best betting sites in Sri Lanka:

The most common payment method for Sri Lankan bettors is iPay. You can find it for both deposits and withdrawals at the most popular sites, including 1xBet and 22bet, but it’s missing from several modern bookies like Stake.

The second most common payment solution in our tests is Upay, which is still present at many of the best sites. If Upay is your only option, expect to be choosing between 20-30 brands.

Local bank transfers through Sampath Vishwa, Bank of Ceylon, Commercial Bank, and HNB are supported at most operators via a generic “Bank Wire Transfer” option. Processing speed varies significantly. BETSS and STbet, the two locally licensed sites, handle these fastest because everything is processed domestically. International brands usually take longer.

Cryptocurrency is well supported across the directory. Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and Litecoin work at more than 70% of the operators listed here. If you’re looking to play with crypto, we’d sooner recommend you to our list of all crypto bookmakers page or our curated list of the best bitcoin betting sites.

LKR balances are offered by a minority of the operators here, roughly 45-60 sites. The rest will convert your deposit into a more popular currency such as USD, EUR, USDT, or INR. Every conversion costs you a small fee, which adds up over a year of betting. Sites that support LKR avoid this and make bankroll tracking easy.

Covering Sports and Events You Want

It doesn’t matter if an online bookmaker supports over 80 different sports if they don’t have the exact league or event you want to bet on. This is another simple thing you can check before even creating an account and it’s a good litmus test to see if you like a site’s navigation. Here are the key events we check for before recommending any site to a Sri Lankan bettor:

Cricket. This is typically where the biggest quality gaps show up. Nearly every operator on this list covers the ICC calendar, IPL, Big Bash, and the other major competitions. Where operators split is on domestic Sri Lankan content. Finding proper coverage of the Lanka Premier League and Provincial Tournament is a tougher task.

Football is universally covered. Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Champions League, and international tournaments are fully available across every operator on this list.

Volleyball might have the biggest gap between spectator popularity and sportsbook availability. Expect FIVB events and the CEV Champions League at most operators. The Sri Lankan domestic league is almost never present.

eSports coverage is growing fast, particularly at Anjouan and CGA-licensed operators. Quality varies significantly: some operators only offer pre-match markets while others have live betting, streaming, and full outrights.
