The sports betting industry has grown exponentially in West Africa with Nigeria being a serious hub for betting companies.

It is estimated that the sports betting industry is worth over $3.5 billion as people continue to bet on sports matches with Nigeria playing a big role in these numbers owing to their love of sports. For this, many betting firms have set shops in the West African nations with another huge chunk launching their products in the nation that has continued to produce some of the best sports people in the world.

All Nigerian betting sites operate in jurisdiction of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission — the local gambling authority. The companies have to obtain and maintain Nigerian licenses for sports gambling.

This article will provide a comprehensive list of Nigeria’s betting sites. 

BETKING Nigeria

Betking has come a very long way in a relatively short time. This betting site has taken the Nigerian betting scene by storm, shooting up to the top order of bookmakers in the country. Betking has a wide range of markets across numerous sports, offering high odds across board.

Betway Nigeria

In over a decade of betting online in Nigeria, I have not seen a betting site as classy and user-friendly as betway. They just keep things very simple and basic, why maintain the highest standards in their betting offerings. The sportsbook is top quality, odds are super competitive, bonus is sizable, and the mobile app is very functional.

Bet9Ja

Bet9ja is a betting site for Nigerians. No betting site in Nigeria understands Nigerian players better than this great site. Bet9ja is very much a symbol of online betting in Nigeria.

They were there from the start, and they are still going on very strong over a decade after they first burst onto the scene. If you want to keep things local, this is definitely the betting site for you. And you will not be missing much.

1xBet

Enormous sportsbook with incredibly vast betting options. With its dynamic sportsbook and wonderfully diverse betting options, 1xBet has been turning heads in Nigeria.

Compared to bet9ja and NairaBet, 1xBet is relatively new, but this bookie is already firmly established as one of the best betting sites in Nigeria.

Parimatch

Impressive live betting and live streaming options. Parimatch have recently redesigned their betting site, and are now firmly established as one of the finest bookies in Nigeria.

Parimatch has a great gaming variety, including a virtual sports section and an online casino that has over 7000 games.

The sportsbook is not as large as some of the other betting sites in Nigeria, but they are very good in football betting, which makes them a favorite with Nigerian players.

Betwinner

Best betting site in Nigeria for live betting. Betwinner is one of the most underrated betting sites in Nigeria, but trust us, they are super good.

They do most things right, from the sportsbook to betting odds, welcome bonus to live betting. Beyond all of that, they also have, in our opinion, the best mobile betting app in Nigeria!

Bet365

Best live streaming betting site in Nigeria. Quite simply, bet365 is the biggest betting site in the world. Their sportsbook and online casino are almost incomparable with any other betting site on the planet.

They have got tons of betting features, including odds boosts and bet builder, but they are arguably most revered for their incredible live streaming service.

The only sore point for Nigerian players is that bet365 still does not accept Naira, but you can still deposit with your ATM card. The naira equivalent of your dollar deposit will be deducted from your account.

22Bet 

Great football betting site. 22Bet combines vast football betting options and high betting odds- the near-perfect recipe for Nigerian players.

The football markets on 22Bet are as good as those on any other betting sites in Nigeria, while the odds are super competitive, rivaling the very best in the land. Like all great betting sites, 22Bet offers new customers a nice welcome bonus. New customers are rewarded with a 100% of their first deposits, up to a maximum of N50,000.

Accessbet

Complete sportsbook with nice esports markets. Accessbet is a very complete betting site, offering a great sportsbook along with wide-ranging betting features.

They have got cut-one, odds boosts, bet builder and pretty much anything you would expect from a new generation betting site.

Accessbet has also got an impressive gaming variety. The site is particularly strong on e-sports, while their online casino and virtual sports section are also very impressive. 

Wazobet

Nigerian betting site with low minimum stake. Wazobet may not be as heavy in the Nigerian media as heavyweight sites like bet9ja, but they quietly go about their business, and they do this business very well indeed.

Like their name kind of gives away, Wazobet allows customers to bet with only N50. This is half of the minimum stake on other Nigerian betting sites like bet9ja and betking. 

The Wazobet sportsbook is deceptively large, with about 25 sports, and it is complemented with online casino, live casino and virtuals sections.

NairaBet

NairaBet is a Nigerian betting company that is licensed and regulated by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and is a member of the Association of Nigerian Bookmakers. It provides legal betting for customers in Nigeria. The sportsbook has numerous features that customers can benefit from with ease.

Merrybet mobile was set up in 2013 in a time when available betting sites in Nigeria were still scarcely populated with quality online betting options.

This is one of the oldest and biggest betting sites in Nigeria. Their vast experience in the business makes them one of the most trusted and credible bet sources in the gambling industry.
