Early members of this platform who know me very well will agree that I'm one of those that have contributed to the growth of Scorum in my own little way. I've not only gone for blockchain meet ups where I introduced Scorum to people but I've also lured many users to this platform from Nairaland, the largest forum in Africa
If you check Scorum traffic source on Alexia, you will discover that the statistics you will see there justifies my effort on Scorum. There are currently 43.4% visitors from Nigeria and Scorum is also ranked 3,174 in Nigeria. We've been taking the lead as Scorum No.1 traffic source and we can conclude that Nigerians have undoubtedly been the major movers of this great platform.
Aside that, Scorumnigeria is the most active community on this platform not only by population but by interaction and engagement. We currently have less than 2k SP yet we're still growing bigger and stronger even more than other communities where large SP holders dominate. With the 1k delegation given to us about five months ago by the Scorum team, although very little, it still didn't prevent us from being active neither has the SCR sinking value discouraged us.
What exactly am I driving at?
For some time now, I've been thinking about how nice and healthy it will be for Betscorum if we try to get Nigerian punters on board because Nigeria is a country where the betting industry is like a money making machine. About 10 million Nigerians between the age of 18 and 40 spend up to N1.8bn ($5m) on sports betting daily, according to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). This shows the level at which a third world country like Nigeria squanders money on football betting. However, the high employment rate is the main reason why many people see sports betting as an alternative to earn a living here.
According to Alexia, Google is the most visited website in Nigeria followed by Bet9ja (the leading betting company in Nigeria) You can check the ranking here in case you're having doubts
Even though Betscorum is still crawling at the moment, some people still send me private messages asking how they can buy SCR and then place bet with it. Even in Scorumnigeria group, we always buy and sell SCR to one another with our local currency just to play weekend games on Betscorum.
Honestly, I always feel happy each time we buy and sell SCR among ourselves to place bet on Betscorum and this gives me the assurance that there's hope for the betting platform. It shows we're not only dominating the blogging platform but we are also active on the betting platform.
I feel it will be a wise decision if the Scorum team can pay a little attention to Nigeria where the main traffic of Scorum comes from as this might just give us the turn around we've been anticipating. This is because Nigerians are very dominating, therefore, underrating us when it comes to a betting project like this might just keep us crawling. Sometimes, I always imagine how smooth the journey of Betscorum will be if the team can strive to lure Nigerian punters here. Although, not everybody here is interested in crypto but for the fact that they can easily earn SCR from blog post when they buy and lose their SCR on bets, I trust this will lure many in. It will
I decided to put this up after getting the bewildering stats of how much betting companies make from Nigerians on a daily basis, and I just feel it will be very healthy for this platform and a step in the right direction if Nigerian punters storm Betscorum and start placing bets on a zero commission betting platform
I don't know if this post makes sense at all🤔
What do you guys think?
