Even though Linebet offers a robust platform with betting options in Botswana, it’s hard to ignore the lack of local licensing or partnerships. Despite not having the backing of the Botswana Gambling Authority, the bookmaker welcomes bettors eager to explore a world of betting options. From a top-tier sportsbook to a bustling casino lobby and enticing promotions, Linebet is a haven for those who value diversity over local familiarity.
Licensing & Regulation
- Regulator: Curaçao Gaming Control Board (OGL/2024-565/05533)
- Local License: None (not under the Botswana Gambling Authority)
- Responsible Gambling: Standard Curaçao tools—deposit limits, reality checks, self-exclusion
- Local Oversight: Disputes settled through Curaçao procedures; no domestic guarantees
Linebet operates under a Curaçao license, which promises an international regulatory standard. However, it lacks local oversight by the Botswana Gambling Authority, meaning there are no Botswana-specific consumer protection policies or audit reports. Users should therefore rely on the available self-protection tools and exercise due diligence.
Account Registration & Verification
Linebet streamlines registration with four straightforward methods:
- One-Click: Select “Botswana” + “BWP,” choose a welcome bonus, enter any promo code, then Register.
- By Phone: Enter country code and mobile number, verify via SMS OTP, then set up a password.
- By Email: Provide name, email, password and phone number—then validate via the emailed link.
- Social Login: Link Facebook, Telegram or Twitter for quick access.
Linebet Mobile App
Whether you prefer Android, iOS or progressive web apps (PWAs), Linebet’s got you sorted:
- Android App
Download the APK from the Linebet site, enable “Unknown Sources,” and install.
- iOS App
Install via TestFlight invitation link, then log in.
- PWA

Sportsbook Summary
Linebet sportsbook covers everything from the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League to the NBA, IPL cricket, NHL ice hockey, Darts’ Grand Slam and even League of Legends Worlds in its esports offering.
Basic markets include match winner, over/under totals and Asian handicap—as well as more niche markets like correct score, first-goalscorer, corners and “next scorer.” On major football matches, Linebet typically provides 60+ in-play markets per match.
It’s worth noting the addition of Bet Builder. With its help, players can assemble bespoke accumulators or system bets—putting together, say, a Premier League double and a correct-score selection in the Champions League—and then lock in profits in-play via partial cash-out.
In contrast to competitors that overload with hundreds of micro-markets, Linebet finds the right balance: a lot of diversity without sensory overload.
Casino & Live Casino
Linebet’s casino lobby blends old-school and new favorites: spin Regal Fruits 1000 or chase jackpots on Sweet Bombs, then switch to the neon-fruit frenzy of Fortune Snake or the smart mechanics of Catanza Hold & Win—all by Pragmatic Play, Amigo Gaming and Spinomenal.
When you feel like some human interaction, there are over 80 live tables to choose from, including Evolution’s Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette and Speed Baccarat, as well as Ezugi’s Football Studio and TVBet’s Andar Bahar. In between sportsbooks, instant games like Crash, Plinko and Dice provide quick thrills and are a great break from sports betting or slots games.
Banking Options
Linebet’s banking options reflect its global roots—no MTN Mobile Money yet, so cards, e-wallets and crypto remain the fastest choices. We topped up via USDT-TRC20 before kickoff and had funds cleared in under a minute, just like a quick Visa swipe.

Conclusion
Linebet Botswana provides a solid international betting experience with a balanced sportsbook, varied casino offerings and simple promos. However, limited banking outlets, the absence of local licensing and no MTN Mobile Money prevent it from truly feeling at home in the Botswana market. For players who appreciate variety, simplicity and crypto-accepting funding, Linebet is a wise choice—just don’t expect the local flavor of a domestically regulated bookie.
