Best Betting Sites in Lithuania 2026

By Sarah Murphy · UK Editor at Goralbet · Updated June 2026 · 18+. Bet responsibly. LPT-licensed operators only.

A basketball-mad country of 2.8 million people that punches several weight classes above its size at the betting window, that is what Lithuania looks like in 2026. I have funded accounts at Top Sport, Olybet LT, 7Bet and Optibet LT in euros, watched Žalgiris Kaunas EuroLeague nights move handle like nothing else on the calendar, and traced every withdrawal back through Swedbank LT and SEB. The Lošimų priežiūros tarnyba (LPT), the Gaming Supervision Authority under the Ministry of Finance, published H1 2025 GGR of €131.5 million and total 2025 revenue of €274.1 million, with online now 74% of the market. This is my ranked list of the best betting sites in Lithuania for 2026, with the comparison table first, then the operator data, then the full top 25 with pros and cons. It is my professional opinion, not financial advice. Licence status changes, always verify on the LPT register before depositing.

Search "best betting sites Lithuania" and you get the same six or seven lists in different fonts. Top Sport at the top, then Olybet, then a debate about whether 7Bet edges Optibet. None of them explain why. None of them tell you that the LPT raised the GGR tax from 20% to 22% in January 2025, or that the LAKIS central monitoring platform goes live in May 2026, or that a near-total advertising ban is being phased in from July 2025. I do this for a living. So I rank on what actually matters when you bet from Vilnius, Kaunas or Klaipėda: market depth on Žalgiris and the LKL, A Lyga coverage, SEPA payout speed in euros, and proper LPT licensing.

Best betting sites in Lithuania 2026: comparison table

Operator data at a glance: LPT-licensed Lithuanian sportsbooks

Opinions are cheap, so here are the numbers. These are the LPT-licensed Lithuanian betting sites I tested most. Figures are in EUR (Lithuania joined the eurozone on 1 January 2015) and current at publication. They vary by method, so check the cashier once you are logged in.

Operator data: offshore international books (use with caution)

These bookmakers show up on a lot of "best betting sites in Lithuania" lists. None of them holds an LPT licence. Lithuanian ISPs and Bank of Lithuania-supervised banks block deposits to most of them. Crypto sometimes routes around it, but you sit outside Lithuanian consumer protections if a dispute arises. I include them for completeness, with the caveat up front. Where a brand like bet365, Unibet or LeoVegas has appeared on the LPT register in the past via a local licensee, I have flagged it as "verify" and you should check the current whitelist on lpt.lrv.lt before signing up.

How welcome offers and T&Cs actually work in Lithuania

Because of the advertising phase-out under the LPT's 2025 rules, I won't quote specific operator bonus headline figures. But I can show you the mechanics. Then you can read the fine print yourself on a licensed Lithuanian sportsbook after registering. Across the books I tested, the typical structure looks like this:

• Free bets vs deposit match. Most welcome offers at LPT-licensed sites are free bets, not cash. With a free bet you keep the winnings but not the stake. A €20 free bet that wins at 2.00 returns €20, not €40.
• Minimum odds to qualify. Qualifying bets at Top Sport, Olybet LT and Optibet LT usually need odds around 1.65 or higher. Bets below that threshold often do not release the offer.
• Rollover or wagering. Free bets typically carry 1x play-through. Deposit-match offers can run 3x to 5x, and casino-side reload bonuses sometimes 25x to 35x. That is where the headline value quietly disappears.
• Expiry. Offers commonly expire in 7 to 14 days. Unused free bets are forfeited.
• Eligible payment methods. Some books exclude Skrill, Neteller and paysafecard deposits from welcome offers. SEB and Swedbank bank transfers always qualify.
• Restricted markets. Some offers exclude in-play, system bets, or specific leagues. Lithuanian football (A Lyga) is sometimes excluded by international operators.
• LPT marketing restrictions. Under the phased advertising rules from July 2025, public-facing promotional language is tightly limited. Operators can show offers to logged-in registered users but not to anonymous visitors. So you will see less promotional noise on the public pages than you would have done in 2023.

My rule of thumb: judge an offer by its real terms (minimum odds, rollover, expiry, payment exclusions), not by a headline figure. A small free bet with 1x rollover usually beats a big match locked behind 5x.

How I tested these Lithuanian betting sites

No theory. Just the five things that decide whether a bookmaker is worth your euro deposit.

Market depth (Žalgiris, LKL, A Lyga, EPL, Eurobasket, tennis)

Mainstream coverage is the baseline. What separates the best betting sites in Lithuania is depth on what locals actually bet. That means BC Žalgiris Kaunas EuroLeague nights, props on Lithuanian players, double-doubles, points-rebounds-assists combos, plus full LKL (Lietuvos Krepšinio Lyga) coverage including Rytas Vilnius, Neptūnas Klaipėda and Lietkabelis Panevėžys. On football it is the A Lyga (Žalgiris Vilnius, FK Sūduva, Kauno Žalgiris, FK Panevėžys) plus the Lithuania national team and the obligatory EPL/Champions League depth. Top Sport runs the deepest LKL prop coverage I tested, it should, the company has been the local market leader since 2003. 7Bet pushes hard on Žalgiris specials.

Odds and pricing

Bonuses get the headlines. Price is what compounds. I compare the vig on standard 1X2 markets and basketball spreads. Top Sport routinely prices Lithuanian basketball tighter than the EU big-names, they have the local data edge. On EPL and Champions League the Baltic-group books (Olybet LT, Optibet LT) match the EU benchmarks. Over a season, that local-basketball edge at Top Sport beats any one-time welcome offer.

Payments and withdrawal speed (SEB, Swedbank, Šiaulių, Luminor, paysafecard)

SEPA bank transfer through one of the big four Lithuanian banks is the default. Lithuania's banking sector is supervised by the Bank of Lithuania, so deposits and withdrawals run through clean rails. I timed real withdrawals. Top Sport returned same-day SEPA payouts on weekday afternoons, the fastest I logged. Olybet LT and Optibet LT typically landed in 1 to 2 business days. Card withdrawals add a day or two on top, depending on the issuing bank. Most regulated books run a closed-loop policy: you withdraw to the same method you deposited with.

App and live betting

Lithuanians bet on the move and during Žalgiris nights the app has to hold up. Top Sport and Olybet LT have the most polished native apps on iOS and Android. Betsafe LT ports the Betsson Group framework cleanly. CBet is mobile-first and lighter than the rest. Live streaming of LKL games and A Lyga matches lives mostly on Top Sport.

Licensing and trust

Non-negotiable. I verify every operator against the LPT register at lpt.lrv.lt, which lists every active licence under the Hazardiniu lošimu įstatymas (Gambling Law of 2001 and its amendments). The licence reference appears on the operator's footer for legitimate Lithuanian-facing sites. I flag offshore brands clearly. You decide for yourself.

Top 25 betting sites in Lithuania: ranked, reviewed, with pros and cons

1. 22bet: biggest market spread (offshore)

22bet is owned by Marikit Holdings in Cyprus and runs on a Curaçao licence. The sheer market spread, 60+ sports, esports, niche leagues, is the draw. The €1 minimum deposit is the lowest I tested, and crypto and e-wallet payouts land in 15 minutes to a few hours. The catch in Lithuania: no LPT licence. ISP-level blocks and bank-side payment blocks make a fully clean experience unlikely. You are outside Lithuanian consumer protections if a dispute arises. I list it because it tops most affiliate lists, but my honest read is that LPT-licensed Top Sport or Olybet LT are the right choice for Lithuanian residents.

2. BetLabel: crypto and modern payments all-rounder

BetLabel launched in 2023 under TechSolutions Group with Curaçao and Kahnawake (No. 000882) licences. The sportsbook is powered by BetBy and runs 30+ sports including esports, with live streaming and partial cash-out. It accepts cards, Skrill, Neteller and 15+ cryptos with a €15 minimum, and withdrawals clear within about 24 hours. Same offshore caveat as 22bet, no LPT licence, no Lithuanian consumer protections, and Lithuanian banks will likely block direct deposits.

3. Ivibet: casino-led with esports depth

Ivibet has served Europe since 2022 under TechOptions Group with Curaçao and Kahnawake (No. 00996) licences. It is casino-led, 6,000+ games, but the sportsbook covers 30+ sports and esports. Payments include cards, ecoPayz, MuchBetter and 15+ cryptos with a €10 to €15 minimum. Crypto payouts cleared in about 90 minutes in tests. Offshore, no LPT licence, no Lithuanian banking rails.

4. HellSpin: casino only, no sportsbook

One to flag clearly. HellSpin is a casino brand, not a sportsbook. No sports betting here at all. It launched in 2022 on a Curaçao licence with 4,000+ games. Banking covers cards, e-wallets and 15+ cryptos with a €10 minimum. E-wallet and crypto payouts clear within about 12 hours; cards take up to 7 days. I include it because it appears on many lists, but Lithuanian sports bettors should look elsewhere, and there is no LPT licence regardless.

5. BetRepublic: a newer all-round sportsbook

BetRepublic is a newer offshore sportsbook and casino on a shared wallet. It accepts cards from €10, plus Skrill, Neteller and crypto. Crypto withdrawals are faster than fiat. It includes a responsible-gambling self-assessment. The main concern is transparency: licensing details are not clearly displayed. Offshore and not LPT-licensed.

6. KingMaker: casino and sportsbook combo

KingMaker debuted in 2024 from NovaForge Limited on an Anjouan licence (ALSI-152406028-F12). Casino and sportsbook share a wallet, with 40+ sports and strong esports. Payments are wide, cards, Jeton, MiFinity, crypto, with a €20 to €30 minimum. Bitcoin payouts clear in under an hour; cards in about 24 hours. Offshore, no LPT licence, and Anjouan oversight is weaker than EU standards.

7. Top Sport: best Lithuanian local market leader

Top Sport is the answer to "where do Lithuanians actually bet". UAB Top Sport has held an LPT licence since the early 2000s and dominates the regulated domestic market, both online and through roughly 200 retail betting shops nationwide. Coverage is exceptional on what matters here: BC Žalgiris Kaunas EuroLeague nights get dedicated prop trees, the full LKL is covered through the Champions Cup playoffs, A Lyga matches get player markets, and the Lithuania men's national basketball team (FIBA EuroBasket regulars, 2024 EuroBasket semi-finalists) draws heavy in-play handle. SEPA payouts through SEB and Swedbank typically clear same-day in my testing. The interface is functional rather than slick, Top Sport is a workhorse, not a fashion brand, but for a Lithuanian resident this is the obvious first account.

8. Olybet LT: best Baltic regional sportsbook

Olybet is the Olympic Entertainment Group brand (Estonian origin, owned by Novalpina Capital). It operates across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania under each country's licence, in Lithuania, that means a full LPT licence. The Baltic-regional cross-border experience is the differentiator: if you bet from Vilnius one week and Riga the next, your account travels. Coverage is strong on European football (Champions League, EPL, Bundesliga, A Lyga) and on basketball (Žalgiris EuroLeague, LKL, EuroLeague generally). Payouts via SEPA to Swedbank, SEB or Luminor typically land in 1 to 2 business days. The app is among the more polished I tested.

9. 7Bet: local challenger, sharp on LKL

7Bet (UAB Septynios sėkmės) is the smaller LPT-licensed local challenger. The angle is sharp prices on Lithuanian basketball, they price LKL games tightly because they know the league. The interface is clean, the SEPA rails are local (SEB, Swedbank, Šiaulių Bankas), and the €2 minimum deposit is the lowest among LPT-licensed sportsbooks. Market depth on international football is thinner than Olybet LT, and there is no live streaming, but for a Lithuanian basketball-first bettor this is a legitimate second account.

10. Optibet LT: best Baltic group, deep football

Optibet is the Latvian-origin Baltic operator that runs in Latvia and Lithuania with full LPT licensing on the Lithuanian side. Football is the strong suit: deep European coverage, including detailed A Lyga markets, plus solid basketball depth through Žalgiris and the LKL. Payments cover SEB, Swedbank, Luminor, Visa/MC and paysafecard, with a €5 minimum and typically 1 to 2 day SEPA payouts. The brand is a more conservative all-rounder than Top Sport's basketball obsession.

11. TopSport Casino: sister site for slots and live casino

TopSport Casino is the casino-side sister brand of Top Sport, on the same UAB Top Sport LPT licence. The catalogue runs to 2,000+ slots plus live casino tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live. Wallet is shared with the sportsbook account, which simplifies bankroll management. For pure-sport bettors this is irrelevant, but for those who want to alternate between an LKL bet and a slot session under a single Lithuanian licence, it is the natural choice.

12. Tete a Tete: local boutique sportsbook

Tete a Tete (UAB Tete a Tete kazino) is a smaller LPT-licensed Lithuanian operator with a longer history on the casino side and a more recent sportsbook. The sport coverage is competent on the big leagues but thinner on niche markets, and the interface feels older than the leaders. For Lithuanian residents who want a smaller, locally-owned alternative outside the Top Sport / Olybet duopoly, it qualifies.

13. bet365 Lithuania: live streaming and in-play (verify status)

bet365 is the global benchmark for in-play and live streaming. In Lithuania its availability has been inconsistent, confirm current LPT register status on lpt.lrv.lt before depositing. Where it does serve Lithuanian residents, the live-streaming library covers EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga and EuroLeague basketball, and the app remains the cleanest in-play experience I have used. Markets run to 1,000+ across 30+ sports.

14. Unibet Lithuania: Kindred brand, EU coverage (verify)

Unibet is a Kindred Group brand (now part of FDJ) with deep European football coverage and a polished app. Its Lithuanian presence has been inconsistent, verify the current LPT register before signing up. Where available, payments cover cards, Skrill and paysafecard, with broad European football and tennis depth. Sister brands within the same group are sometimes the local landing.

15. 1xBet Lithuania: huge global range (blocked)

1xBet runs from Curaçao and appears on many lists. It is widely blocked in Lithuania at the ISP and bank level, the LPT does not whitelist it, and several EU regulators have flagged its compliance practices. The market range is genuinely enormous, but I do not recommend it for Lithuanian residents. There are better, LPT-licensed alternatives.

16. Betsafe LT: Betsson Group basketball depth

Betsafe LT operates in Lithuania under the Betsson Group's LPT-licensed local branch. The basketball depth, particularly on EuroLeague and Žalgiris, is strong, and the app is the same Betsson framework that you find across the Nordics. Payments cover SEB, Swedbank, cards and Trustly, with 1 to 2 day SEPA payouts. The brand is more polished than the local-only books but lacks the deepest LKL prop coverage.

17. Betsson Lithuania: mainstream EU all-rounder

Betsson Lithuania is the parent-brand sister to Betsafe LT on the same Betsson Group LPT licence. It is a competent EU all-rounder with strong coverage of EPL, Champions League and Bundesliga, plus basketball depth across the LKL and EuroLeague. The interface is the Betsson standard, clean, mobile-first, with reliable in-play. For Lithuanian residents who want a major Nordic brand on a local licence, this is the natural pick.

18. CBet: mobile-first local book

CBet is the lighter, mobile-first LPT-licensed local sportsbook (UAB Nesė). The app is fast, the deposit minimum is €5, and the interface feels younger than Top Sport or Tete a Tete. Market depth is solid on football and basketball but does not match the leaders on niche markets. A reasonable fit for casual Lithuanian bettors who want something cleaner than the heritage brands.

19. Pinnacle: sharpest odds (offshore)

The sharp bettor's choice. Pinnacle's pricing and limits are excellent. It does not restrict winning players the way many books do. The catch: it is offshore, with no LPT licence. Lithuanian residents will likely find it bank-side blocked, and you sit outside Lithuanian consumer protections.

20. William Hill: bet builders (offshore)

William Hill is a long-standing UK brand, now part of the evoke (888) group. The bet builder is polished and core prices are competitive. It has not taken an LPT licence, so it serves Lithuanian residents from offshore (where bank-side blocks permit), with the consumer-protection caveats above.

21. Bwin: European football props (offshore)

Bwin is an Entain brand from 1997. It offers detailed European football and EPL prop markets on a smooth site. Weak on basketball, the Lithuanian-relevant gap. It is offshore for Lithuanian residents and no LPT licence applies.

22. Parimatch: esports depth (offshore)

Parimatch has strong esports breadth and fair pricing on those markets. Support is the weak spot. It runs from Curaçao with no LPT licence, and Lithuanian bank-side blocks apply. Use with full awareness that you sit outside Lithuanian consumer protections.

23. LeoVegas: mobile-first experience (verify)

LeoVegas is an MGM Resorts brand built mobile-first. It has one of the nicest apps in the EU market and a strong reputation for quick payouts. Its Lithuanian availability has been inconsistent, verify the current LPT register before depositing. Where available, payments cover cards and Trustly with a €10 minimum.

24. Stake.com: crypto sportsbook (offshore)

Stake.com has been live since 2017 under a Curaçao licence. Reference point for crypto bettors with broad coin support and strong esports coverage. Crypto-first, no SEPA, no Lithuanian bank rails, no LPT licence. Crypto withdrawals are near-instant. It blocks several EU jurisdictions; verify before deposit. Outside Lithuanian consumer protections regardless.

25. TwinsBet: local Lithuanian operator

TwinsBet (UAB Orakulas) is a fully LPT-licensed local Lithuanian operator with sportsbook and casino across desktop and mobile. The market depth on football and basketball is competent rather than market-leading, and the interface is straightforward. A reasonable smaller-brand alternative for Lithuanian residents who want an LPT-licensed second account beyond the Top Sport / Olybet duopoly.

Best Lithuanian sportsbook by category

Best for basketball (Žalgiris Kaunas + EuroLeague)

Top Sport has the deepest LKL and Žalgiris prop coverage among the Lithuanian betting sites I tested, with Betsafe LT close behind on broader EuroLeague depth. For the Lithuania men's national team during EuroBasket, Top Sport again, with the live-streaming edge.

Best for football (A Lyga + Champions League)

Optibet LT for the deepest A Lyga markets including Žalgiris Vilnius, FK Sūduva and FK Panevėžys, with Olybet LT for the broader European football coverage and Champions League depth.

Best for live streaming

Top Sport for LKL and A Lyga streams. Where bet365 Lithuania is live on the LPT register, it remains the EuroLeague and EPL streaming benchmark.

Best mobile app

Olybet LT for the most polished native app, with CBet for the lightest mobile-first experience.

Best for fast withdrawals

Top Sport for same-day SEPA to SEB and Swedbank in weekday testing, with Olybet LT and Optibet LT close behind at 1 to 2 business days.

Best for high rollers

Pinnacle for top limits and sharp prices, offshore, no LPT licence, so understand the trade-off. Among LPT-licensed books, Olybet LT sets the highest single-bet limits I tested.

Best for casual and low-stakes bettors

Top Sport for the €2 minimum deposit and same-day SEPA payouts, with 7Bet close behind at the same €2 minimum.

Best for Baltic regional travel

Olybet and Optibet are the Baltic-group brands that travel between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, useful if your work or family takes you across the Baltic states regularly.

Which sports and teams can you bet on in Lithuania?

All the major leagues, with a sharp local skew toward basketball. The headline targets are:

• Basketball (the Lithuanian national obsession). BC Žalgiris Kaunas in the EuroLeague and LKL, Rytas Vilnius, Neptūnas Klaipėda and Lietkabelis Panevėžys in the LKL, plus the Lithuania men's national team during FIBA EuroBasket and World Cup qualifiers. Žalgiris carries a 1999 EuroLeague championship legacy and a 2018 Final Four appearance, and remains the cultural centre of Lithuanian betting.
• Football (A Lyga + national team). The top flight, A Lyga, features FK Žalgiris Vilnius, FK Sūduva Marijampolė, Kauno Žalgiris and FK Panevėžys among others. The Lithuania national team draws handle during qualifying campaigns.
• European football imports. Premier League is the dominant import, followed by Champions League, Bundesliga and Eurocopa qualifiers.
• Tennis. Ricardas Berankis carries home interest; ATP and WTA tours generally are well-priced.
• Cycling. Lithuania has a strong cycling tradition and the major tours (Tour de France, Giro, Vuelta) get full markets.
• MMA and UFC. Steady weekly interest, deeper on cards with European fighters.
• Esports. Counter-Strike and Dota 2 leagues both draw consistent handle from Lithuanian bettors, with the EU regional leagues particularly well-covered.

Timeline: the history of betting in Lithuania

It helps to know how we got here, because Lithuania's regulated market is a relatively recent build, the country's gambling framework only emerged after EU accession reshaped the legal landscape.

The Lithuanian betting market in numbers (2025 to 2026)

One trend worth flagging: Lithuania's online share at 74% of total gambling revenue puts it well above the EU average, reflecting both a tech-literate population and the LPT's relatively permissive online framework. Sports betting is the smaller slice of the online market, casino is the larger driver, but it grew 10.5% year over year. With the LAKIS central monitoring platform live from May 2026 and the advertising phase-out continuing through 2028, the market is maturing toward a Nordic-style high-trust, low-noise regulatory regime. Sources: LPT statistical bulletins; figures reported by sigma.world and tribuna.com from the regulator's H1 2025 and full-year 2025 publications.

Quick facts: age, taxes and payments

• Minimum age: 18+ universally across Lithuania (residential, retail and online).
• Taxes on winnings: Lithuanian residents generally do not pay personal income tax on gambling winnings from LPT-licensed operators (the 22% GGR tax sits at the operator level). For professional gamblers or winnings from non-LPT-licensed offshore operators, consult a Lithuanian tax advisor, I am not one.
• Currency: EUR universally since 1 January 2015. Lithuania is in the eurozone and Schengen.
• Payments: SEPA bank transfer through SEB Lithuania, Swedbank LT, Šiaulių Bankas or Luminor is the default rail. Cards (Visa/Mastercard) are universal. paysafecard is widely accepted. Skrill and Neteller are accepted by some operators. Crypto is offshore-only and largely outside LPT-licensed books.
• Minimum deposit: €2 at Top Sport and 7Bet, €5 to €10 at most other LPT-licensed sportsbooks.
• Self-exclusion: the LPT operates a national self-exclusion register that applies across all licensed operators in a single action.
• Regulator: Lošimų priežiūros tarnyba (LPT), lpt.lrv.lt, under the Ministry of Finance.
• Banking supervision: the Bank of Lithuania supervises all retail banks involved in gambling-related payment flows.
• Parliament oversight: the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania retains legislative authority over the Gambling Law.

FAQ: best betting sites in Lithuania

My take: where I'd open my first account

This is my opinion as someone who does this for a living. It is not a verdict, and not a push to bet. If you live in Lithuania and you care most about Žalgiris Kaunas and the LKL, which most Lithuanian bettors do, I would start with Top Sport. The LPT licence, the same-day SEPA payouts and the basketball prop depth all point that way. For a second account with Baltic-regional reach and deep European football, I would add Olybet LT. If you want a sharp-prices second book for LKL specifically, 7Bet is a credible local challenger. For deep A Lyga and broader European football, Optibet LT. Offshore brands like 22bet and Pinnacle have their attractions on price and range, but the bank-side and ISP-side blocking, plus the lack of LPT consumer protections, mean I would not open an account from a Lithuanian residence unless I had a very specific reason. The consumer protections are worth more than any headline offer.
