About sports betting in Nigeria: key points

On the bookmaker’s website, players can place online bets on sports using a computer or phone. The government of Nigeria actively cooperates with the bookmaker to control and regulate the betting market.

TOP popular sports

We offer a lot of sports for betting. The most popular traditionally include football, hockey, basketball, boxing. The Kazakh national sport of kokpar deserves special attention. It is also presented in the lines of many bookmakers.

Bets on tennis are popular among bettors, where ATP and WTA international tournaments are regularly held. Classical, freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling are traditionally considered strong sports in Nigeria. Sports betting is even accepted on figure skating and biathlon. It is especially relevant during seasonal championships and the Olympic Games.

You can also place bets on less popular but interesting sports. These include chess and eSports. The variability of sporting events and competitive odds provide Nigerian bettors with excellent betting opportunities.

Types of bets

The following sports bets are accepted in Nigeria:

Singles – bets on a single outcome of a sporting event.
Express bets – a combination of several singles, where the outcomes of different events are combined into one bet. To win, it is important that all selected outcomes are correct.
Systems – allow you to win even if one or more forecasts within one bet lose.

Such bets on sports in Nigeria are available on our website. Forecasts are accepted in two modes – pre-match and live. Betters can place pre-match bets long before the start of the competition. Live sports bets are accepted during the sporting event. The odds may change depending on what is happening in the game.

What odds are considered profitable

When betting on a selected sporting event, the bettor should always take into account the odds. The higher they are, the more profitable it is for the player to bet on sports online. Odds above 2.00 are always considered profitable, because they double the bet in case of a win. But it is important to assess the risks, since high odds are associated with a lower probability of the outcome.
