Betting Apps in Nigeria

Back in the day, when online betting first arrived in Nigeria, most of the betting was done in physical shops.

However, in recent times, mobile betting has become the order of the day.

With over 80% of Nigerian bettors now betting on their mobile devices, betting companies have taken time to create great online betting apps to satisfy the needs of their customers.

Our aim in this article is to sift through the crowd and help you find the best online betting apps in Nigeria.

Right. So how do we arrive at the best betting apps in Nigeria? How do we know which betting apps are best for you? In this section, we will take you into our minds and share with you some of our expertise!

We will show you some of the key factors that make up a great betting app.

Now that you know the very best betting apps in Nigeria, let us now get into the part where we show you how to download the betting apps.

Generally, downloading a betting app on your phone or tablet is very easy and should not take more than three minutes.

However, depending on whether you are using an android device or an iOS device, the processes are quite different.

In the next sections, we will discuss betting apps for android and iOS devices and tell you how to download the apps based on your type of device.

If you are an android user, you probably already know that the Google Playstore is the store where you download apps for your phone.

Unfortunately, this store does not have betting apps in Nigeria.

This is not because betting apps are unsafe or illegal, but because of Google's policy in betting apps.

However, there is a nice solution.

With the Playstore not accepting betting apps, you can easily download your android betting apps directly from the mobile site of your operator.

Unlike the Google Playstore which does not accept betting apps, the Appstore, which houses iOS apps, is very recipient to betting apps.

Hence, to download a betting app on your iOS device, you can simply visit the Appstore, search for your preferred betting app and download.

Otherwise, you can also go through your operator's mobile site, as we have shown in the guide below.

Want to bet on a specific sport? Some betting apps are particularly good in some sports than other sports.

Click any of the links below to find the best betting apps for your favourite sport.

Because football is the No. 1 sport in Nigeria, most betting apps are essentially football betting apps.

Any app that does not have a deep football coverage is not quite ready for business in Nigeria.

A great football betting app has matches from all parts of the globe, from the major leagues in England and Spain to less popular tournaments in Malta and China.

Football betting apps also give regular football notifications, letting users know upcoming matches, team news, stats and live scores.

This is one of the great advantages of using a football betting app rather than a regular betting site.

After football, tennis is the most wagered on sports in Nigeria. Tennis betting is becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria, especially when it comes to betting on the Grand Slams like Wimbledon and Roland Garros.

The fact that the tennis calendar runs almost every week throughout the calendar year makes the sport very appealing to bettors.

They know that there is always something to bet on, whether it is on the ATP Tour or WTA Tour, or even the ITF circuit.

With the NBA following growing from strength to strength in Nigeria, basketball betting has been getting plenty of attention from Nigerian bettors.

Hence, basketball betting apps are also gaining in popularity in Nigeria.

Basketball betting has also been helped by the relative success being enjoyed by our national men's and women's teams.

People are now more aware of basketball and the great possibilities associated with betting on the sport.

As you have seen, downloading a betting app is super easy. We will now continue the discussion by showing you how to use betting apps. This section is particularly important for newbies.

If you are new to this betting apps thing, you may want to pay extra attention and learn how to do some basic things on your betting app!

Here's a beginner's guide to using a betting guide. We will go through the most basic functions, including signing up, making deposits, and placing bets.

1. Signing up on betting apps: Let's start by showing you how to sign up for betting apps.
   This is probably the easiest part of using a betting app! Some sites, like 1xBet, have a one-click registration feature, which allows users to sign up with just one click, but most apps generally require their users to enter some very basic personal information. You will likely be asked to enter your full name, mobile number, email address, username, password, and other basic information.
   Signing up on a betting app should not take more than two minutes.
2. Depositing money on betting apps: After signing up on a betting app, the next thing to do is log into your account and deposit some money on the betting app. To log in, click the login button on the home page and enter your login details. This is usually a username, phone number or email address plus a password you chose during registration. Once you have logged in, you can then click the deposit button to enter the deposit page of the app. As mentioned, a great betting app should have diverse and easy deposit methods. For example, the best deposit options in Nigeria are ATM Cards, OPay, Internet banking and Quickteller.
3. Claiming your betting apps bonus: Many betting apps have what they call a first deposit welcome bonus. This bonus is given to customers who have just signed up for the app and made their first deposit. Make sure you claim this bonus before proceeding with the rest of the adventure.
   Sometimes, your welcome bonus is credited into your account immediately after you make your first deposit. A nice welcome bonus will be handy as it gives you some free cash to play around with at the onset of your betting adventure. Please note that you may be required to meet some playthrough requirements before withdrawing your bonus.
4. Placing bets on betting apps: The whole point of signing up on a betting app is to place bets on the app, right? So, let's give you a short guide on how to place a bet.
   To place a bet on your app, follow these steps: log into your betting app account, Visit the sportsbook, Choose your sport, Go to the match you want to wager on, Choose the odds you want to bet on, Enter your stake on your bet slip, Confirm your bet.

If your bet is successful, your winnings will be credited to your account.

Live betting is an essential part of online betting, so you need a great live betting app for this particular feature.

Good news is that many apps these days are very proficient at live betting.

In fact, once you launch the apps, the first thing you will see is a collection of the best and latest live matches available for betting.

Because live betting is so dynamic and immersive, a great live betting app must be super-smooth and easy to use.

It must not hang or drag, else it may prevent you from placing that quick live bet.

Live betting apps must also have a great user interface, so that you can easily view the in-game stats, virtual Live feeds and possibly stream the match, if the live streaming feature is available on the app.

Actually, it helps a lot if your live betting app has all of these features as you will be able to follow the live match better, and make better in-play predictions.

Let's talk a bit more about betting apps and bonuses. Many betting apps offer one form of bonus or the other, but some are particularly great at this aspect.

We are not just talking about welcome bonuses here. This is about all the bonuses available to new and existing customers on the betting app.

Apps like Betano are very good with bonuses, having wide-ranging offers like the popular Goals promo.

Some apps are more stingy with their bonuses, even setting very difficult wagering requirements that make it almost impossible to claim the bonus.

We obviously do not like betting apps like that.

Naturally, we love apps that are generous and willing to help their users claim and use their bonuses.

There are so many betting features available to online bettors these days. Ideally, we want our betting apps to have every available feature, but that is not always the case.

The table below shows a list of the best betting apps and the features that are present on each site.

This should guide you in choosing the right betting app.

With new betting apps popping up regularly, you can enjoy innovative features and a smoother betting experience. Keeping up with these latest apps means you'll get to enjoy innovative technology, fresh promotions, and improved functionalities.

New betting apps are built using the latest technology, which means:

• Faster performance
• Better graphics
• More innovative features compared to older apps
• Improved user experience
