A Rwandan betting brand with no independently confirmed RDB licence amid a nationwide relicensing process

Cons
- No independent operator/owner entity found
- No confirmed RDB licence amid a nationwide relicensing process with only 3 operators confirmed so far
- No independent review or complaint data found
Our verdict
We could not independently verify Holdbet as a licensed Rwandan betting operator. Rwanda's gambling regulator suspended all licences for over a year and has only relicensed three operators as of July 2026 - we found no evidence Holdbet is among them. Given this complete absence of independent verification amid an active nationwide relicensing process, we recommend checking Holdbet's status directly against the Rwanda Development Board's official operator registry before depositing.

About Holdbet

This is worth contextualizing directly: Rwanda's regulator suspended all betting licences for 13 months, reopening applications in August 2025, with only three operators relicensed as of July 2026 - we found no evidence that Holdbet is among them.
