All information about the bookmaker: registration, bonuses, pros and cons, etc.
NairaBet betting company was founded in Nigeria in 2009. Its operations are regulated by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission. Only Nigerian players and only local currency are eligible for playing there. Currently NairaBet is the largest bookmaker in the country. In this article, we will provide you with an overview of the bookmaker and also we'll talk about its pros and cons.
Official website
NairaBet website has a classic layout for its category. It stands out for its minimalism, large fonts and the absence of unnecessary sections. As a result of using this format any user will be able to quickly find its way around the site in order to subsequently start making bets.
In the left-hand sidebar there is a drop-down list with all the events available for bets. On the right — a bet slip, a section for checking the bet slip and entering promotional codes, and a tab for automatic betting with preset parameters. In the middle you can find matches both in the pre-match and live format, and on top, there is a menu with the main functionality.
Mobile version
NairaBet does not offer customers the opportunity to use a smartphone app. Instead, two mobile versions are available — full and lite. In the first case, you will get a version with a standard interface and full functionality — you can make bets, play in the casino, change your account settings and participate in bonus campaigns.
The lite mobile version is designed for users with poor network connectivity or weaker devices. At its homepage there's a list with key sections that every bettor needs — including pre-match and live odds, bet slips, financial transactions, and support. Using this option will still give you access to all the markets that can be found on the main site.
To register there users have two confirmation methods available — SMS and email. As mentioned before, NairaBet account creation is only available to Nigerian citizens, so if you want to use the first option, you will need a number with a local international phone code. In this case, the country of location of the email service does not matter. Also, your username and password are entered into a special form.
To gain access to the full functionality of the bookmaker, you need to top up your account with a bank card issued in Nigeria or enter your passport number. In the first case it is necessary to select a bank from the list provided, indicate the type of account and indicate its number. The verification procedure is quite simple and takes no more than five minutes.
Account
To enter your personal account — just click on the tab with your login and account number, located in the middle of the screen under the top menu. There you can edit your personal information, make a deposit or withdraw funds, view the history of bets and financial transactions, as well as check the number of free bets and available bonus offers. All sections are presented concisely in an user-friendly format.
Financial operations
For topping up your account you can use Quickteller, Paystack and GTPay services, which are one of the largest payment systems in Africa and Nigeria in particular. To make a deposit it's needed to go to the appropriate section in your personal account, choose the payment method and indicate the amount of the deposit. Next, you will be redirected to the website of the financial institution. The minimum top-up amount is 50 Naira.
The withdrawal section is also located in your personal account. It is possible to withdraw the funds only to a bank card. In the appearing window you must enter the name of the bank, the number and type of account, as well as the amount of the transfer. The minimal transfer amount is 1,000 Naira, the max is 500,000 Naira. The withdrawal period often does not exceed 1 day from the date of placing of the request.
Sports betting
NairaBet offers its users to place bets on more than 25 sports. This number includes both popular and exotic sports such as bandy, floorball and snooker. In addition, political events in the USA and Great Britain are available among the odds. The greatest attention is traditionally paid to football. The variety of matches presented will be more than enough for an ordinary bettor.
Odds for matches vary, depending on the popularity of the event and the selected market in particular. For English Premier League games, odds on equally probable outcomes are 1.9 to 1.9, while odds for lower division matches are down to 1.75 to 1.75. This situation makes it advisable to bet only on major events, where the bookmaker's margin does not reach sky-high values.
To open the section with live matches, it's needed to click on the "In Play" tab in the top menu. Most of the events available in the pre-match odds appear there. Navigation is carried out using a horizontal slider with sports and a list of games in the middle. The odds offered often have some room for improvement. For example, on an odd/even bet in a local league, NairaBet offers odds 1.83 to 1.83.
Casino
The casino section of the NairaBet sportsbook website contains four types of entertainment - slot machines, virtual sports, roulette and lotteries. Each available option is made in the format of a mini-game that is played for money. The bookmaker offers clients more than 100 projects, but most of them work according to the same principle, changing only the external view.
Bonuses
At the moment NairaBet is running two bonus campaigns for bettors. The first of them implies the return of the bet on the win of one of the teams in the English Premier League match if the game ended in a goalless draw. This option is available exclusively for accumulator bets.
The second promotion also applies to accumulator bets. The company will pay you the winnings even if you lose one event. In this case, the bet slip must consist of at least 10 outcomes, the odds for each of them must exceed 1.2. The details of the promotion can always be found in the Promotions section.
Support
To contact support, you can use the live-chat section located in the lower right corner of the window, as well as email and hotline. The company's employees are distinguishably efficient and competent in common issues. To solve serious problems, it is recommended to use e-mail or the specified phone number. All contact details are located at the bottom of the NairaBet website. In addition, the bookmaker has its pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
