Broad global sportsbook & casino, 1xBet's sister brand
Not available lawfully hereIs Betwinner legal in Sri Lanka?
No. Real-money gambling is banned in Sri Lanka. Under Sri Lanka's Gambling Regulatory Authority Act of 2025, in force since 1 December 2025, in force since 2025, Betwinner cannot lawfully offer you a welcome bonus here, and you cannot lawfully claim one.
Sri Lanka legalised online betting rather than banning it - but only through operators licensed by the new Gambling Regulatory Authority, which took effect on 1 December 2025 and was intended to be fully operational by 30 June 2026. A licence from the Director-General is mandatory, applicants must be companies registered under Sri Lanka's Companies Act, and a specific digital gambling licence is required to operate online. The other half of that law is why you see no offer here: unlicensed offshore betting sites are explicitly illegal, and the Authority can block them and penalise both the operators and anyone promoting them. We cannot evidence that the operators we cover hold a Sri Lankan digital gambling licence, so we will not point you at one as though we could. If you are in Sri Lanka, check the Authority's own list of licensees rather than trusting any affiliate site, including this one. (Sources cite the Act as both No. 16 and No. 17 of 2025; we report that discrepancy rather than guess which is right.) source
Any Betwinner bonus you see advertised for Sri Lanka is offered from an offshore site operating against local law. Your payments can be blocked, your account can vanish with a mirror domain, and no Sri Lanka regulator can help you recover funds. We therefore show no offer and no sign-up link on this page.

Pros
- Very broad sportsbook and deep markets
- Wide payments including crypto
- Full-featured Android and iOS apps
- 24/7 support
Cons
- Curacao licence OGL/2024/341/0759 shows a term ended March 28, 2026 and is marked 'Assessment in progress' - a renewal under review rather than a confirmed licence
- Offshore Curacao licence (1xBet sister) — weaker protection
- Restricted in the UK, US, France, Spain and other regulated markets
- Complex, region-specific bonus terms
- Shares the mixed dispute record of the 1xBet family
- The Curacao credential recorded for this brand comes from the master/sub-licence system abolished on 1 January 2025 - check for a current direct licence on the Curacao Gaming Authority register
Our verdict
Betwinner is essentially 1xBet's sister brand on the same platform: a very broad sportsbook and casino with deep markets, wide payments and crypto. It carries the same offshore trust caveats — Curacao-licensed, restricted in many regulated markets, weaker recourse than a UKGC/MGA book. Strong product, but read the terms and only use it where it is licensed to accept you.

Offshore Curacao licence (Prevailer B.V., no. 8048/JAZ); a 1xBet sister brand sharing its platform. Restricted in many regulated markets and carries the same offshore-protection caveats. Context on the licence rather than the operator: the Curacao credential recorded here comes from the master/sub-licence system abolished on 1 January 2025 under the LOK. That is a change in the jurisdiction, not a finding against this brand, so it does not move the score - but it does mean a "Curacao licensed" claim should be re-checked against the Curacao Gaming Authority register rather than taken from a footer. shows a term that ended on March 28, 2026 and is marked 'ASSESSMENT IN PROGRESS' on the Curacao Gaming Authority's register of 15 July 2026. That is a renewal under review, not a revocation and not a confirmed licence - so it neither earns credit nor justifies treating the operator as unlicensed. Curacao licence OGL/2024/341/0759, held by Prevailer B.V., shows a term that ended March 28, 2026 and is marked "Assessment in progress" - a renewal under review, which neither earns credit nor justifies treating the operator as unlicensed.

How we verified this
Bonus caps/codes vary by country; shown qualitatively. Confirm on Betwinner's own site. Curacao note: the master/sub-licence system this brand's recorded credential came from was abolished on 1 January 2025 under the LOK, legacy sub-licences and orange seals have expired, and the Curacao Gaming Authority now licenses operators directly. We are not asserting this operator is unlicensed - many hold new direct licences - only that the credential we recorded is from a wound-up system and current status should be checked on the CGA register. CURACAO LICENCE: OGL/2024/341/0759, held by Prevailer B.V., issued September 28, 2025, expiry March 28, 2026, status 'Assessment in progress' on the Curacao Gaming Authority register of 15 July 2026.

About Betwinner
Betwinner launched around 2016 as a sister brand to 1xBet, running on the same technology and Curacao licence. It offers a very broad sportsbook, casino and crypto banking to global punters where it is licensed — not to players in tightly regulated markets like the UK, US, France or Spain.
Betwinner FAQ
What is this site's Curacao licence status?
Licence OGL/2024/341/0759, held by Prevailer B.V., issued September 28, 2025, expiry March 28, 2026. The Curacao Gaming Authority's register last updated 15 July 2026 records it as 'Assessment in progress'. Reading the register: Curacao issues many licences on six-month terms, and a lapsed term does not mean an operator is unlicensed - the register's STATUS column marks most of those 'Assessment in progress', meaning a renewal is being worked through. Some entries carry no end date at all and are recorded as indefinite. Judging by the dates alone, in either direction, gets it wrong. We are stating this precisely because we got it wrong earlier today: a parsing error made us attach another company's licence data to several brands, including telling readers that six operators held expired licences. None of the brands we checked is marked Expired. That claim has been removed and the scores restored.
Is Betwinner the same as 1xBet?
Betwinner is a sister brand to 1xBet, running on the same platform and a Curacao licence (Prevailer B.V.). The product is very similar, and it carries the same offshore trust caveats and country restrictions.
Is Betwinner safe?
Betwinner is a large operator, but it runs on an offshore Curacao licence with weaker player protection than a UKGC or MGA book, and it is restricted in many regulated markets. Only use it where it is licensed to accept you and never deposit more than you can afford to lose.
What is the Betwinner welcome bonus?
Betwinner advertises a 100% first-deposit sports bonus and a casino welcome package with free spins, but the cap, code and wagering vary by country and change. Read the current on-site terms before claiming.
Is a Curacao licence still worth anything after the 2025 reform?
The Curacao system this brand's licence came from no longer exists, and that is worth understanding before you read any 'Curacao licensed' claim. Curacao passed the National Ordinance on Games of Chance - the LOK - which came into force on 24 DECEMBER 2024 and replaced a framework dating from 1993. Under the old system a handful of master licence holders issued SUB-LICENCES to hundreds of operators, which is where numbers like 8048/JAZ and names like Antillephone come from. That master licence system was ABOLISHED ON 1 JANUARY 2025, the legacy sub-licences have expired, and the transitional 'orange seal' permissions expired permanently on 15 OCTOBER 2025. Since 1 January 2026 operators must also meet physical presence requirements on the island. Licences are now issued DIRECTLY by the Curacao Gaming Authority, whose register showed more than 330 active licences in early 2026 - and it is refusing a meaningful share of applicants, having approved 87 of roughly 140 direct applications by April 2026, a rejection rate near 38 percent. WHAT THIS DOES AND DOES NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SITE: it does NOT mean this operator is unlicensed. Many have moved to direct CGA licences. It means the specific credential we originally recorded belongs to a system that has been wound up, so if licensing matters to your decision, check the operator's current entry on the Curacao Gaming Authority register rather than trusting a sub-licence number in a website footer.
