The Cameroonian betting market in November 2025 demonstrates the stability of leaders and aggressive growth of new players. We analyzed 2.85 million search queries to understand who Cameroonians trust this autumn.

Total queries for these ten brands in Cameroon: ~2,850,000 queries.

Top Three Leaders:

1. First Place – 1xBet.
   Undisputed leader. The brand remains synonymous with betting in Cameroon. The widest event lineup, French language localization, and, most importantly, flawless operation with local payment methods (Orange Money, MTN) keep it at the top.
2. Second Place – Premier Bet.
   The King of Retail. Thanks to a powerful network of land-based shops and integration with the national lottery, Premier Bet retains the trust of the conservative audience, gradually transitioning them online via the app.
3. Third Place – Melbet.
   Aggressive Pursuer. The brand actively copies the leader's successful mechanics, offering increased first deposit bonuses, which attracts a youth audience looking for "freebies."
