Best Betting Sites in Macao for 2025

Even though Macao lacks the space to include many full-size football fields, that has done nothing to dampen the popularity of the world’s top sport here. Some of the football betting options you’ll see at online bookmakers in Macau include:

• FIFA World Cup: The FIFA World Cup is the world’s largest sporting event, both in terms of viewership and betting activity. While Macao is far too small to have ever competed at the World Cup, bettors still wager on top contenders like Germany, Brazil, and France.
• UEFA Champions League: The UEFA Champions League brings together all of the top clubs in Europe for the most exciting club football competition in the world. Bettors can take their picks of some of the world’s best teams in this annual tournament, featuring top clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City, and many more.
• Chinese Super League: Even though Macao does have its own football leagues, most local attention goes to the Chinese Super League, the top club competition in China. Top teams include eight-time winners Guangzhou and Shanghai Port, which has won three straight titles between 2023 and 2025.

As in mainland China, basketball has become a popular sport in Macao, where professional teams compete against their counterparts in other Asian nations. Here’s a look at some of the basketball betting options you’ll see at online sportsbooks in Macao.

• NBA: The National Basketball Association is the strongest and most important basketball league in the world, with 30 teams in the United States and Canada competing each season. Top teams in recent years include the Oklahoma City Thunder, Boston Celtics, and Denver Nuggets.
• FIBA World Cup: Held every four years, the FIBA World Cup pits the best national basketball teams against each other in a global competition for the world championship. While the United States has historically been the strongest team in the world, countries like Spain, Germany, and Serbia have been the most successful in recent competitions. 
• Summer Olympics: The Summer Games get even more attention from non-basketball fans than the FIBA World Cup, and for many professional players, an Olympic gold medal is the most prestigious prize in basketball. The United States has won 27 combined gold medals between its men’s and women’s teams, with the former Soviet Union (4) being the only other nation with more than one.

One of the most popular sports in the region, badminton is a regular inclusion at Macau betting sites, even for competitions that might not make waves in other parts of the world. Badminton betting options that you’ll see here include:

• BWF World Championships: The most prestigious badminton event on the annual calendar, the BWF World Championships are held every year except when the Summer Olympics are taking place. China has dominated the competition historically, with Indonesia, South Korea and Denmark also finding success.
• Summer Olympics: The Olympic Games are the one time every four years when the entire world pays attention to badminton, and is also the time when betting activity is the highest in this sport. China has 22 total gold medals in Olympic competition, while Indonesia, South Korea, Denmark and Chinese Taipei have also won multiple golds.
• BWF World Tour Finals: This event acts as the season-ending championship each December, with millions of dollars of prize money on the line each year. While China has again been the dominant force overall at this event, Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen holds the record for men’s singles titles with three.

Many other sports have followings throughout Macao, with the following getting some attention at betting sites here:

• Table Tennis: Table tennis has long been a popular sport in China and other parts of Asia, and betting on this sport is particularly popular during the Summer Olympics. Macao has even produced its own stars, including former world No. 1 women’s player Zhu Yuling.
• Volleyball: While not a professional sport in Macao, volleyball is a popular participatory sport, and there is a following for major competitions. Volleyball betting tends to be focused on the Summer Olympics as well as some of the biggest professional leagues in Europe.
• E-Sports: While e-sports betting isn’t as big as some of the sports listed above, it is one of the fastest growing segments of the market here. Macao has even hosted some major events in the space, including the World University Cyber League.

While bank transfers can sometimes come with fees, they are a highly secure way to move funds both into and out of sports betting accounts in Macao.

Many credit card betting sites offer their services to bettors in Macao, with Visa and Mastercard both widely accepted at our top sites here. While credit cards are a fast and secure way to make deposits, they aren’t as flexible as other options when it comes to withdrawing funds.

Bitcoin betting sites are a great option in Macao for those who either don’t have a traditional banking option available, or who would prefer more anonymity in their sports betting. Other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Ethereum, USDT, and Dogecoin are also accepted at some sites.

Macau SLOT, the only locally licensed online sports betting site at the time of this writing, offers a system where individuals can purchase vouchers using a credit or debit card, then use them to fund their online betting account.
