Bet9ja holds valid gambling licenses from both the Lagos State Lotteries Board and the State of Osun. Meaning they are legal in all states throughout Nigeria.

Bet9ja are the sponsors of the Nigeria National League, the second tier of football within the country. This has further helped them expand their reputation in the country.

Bookmakers margin

Range of Sports and Markets - Good

Bet9ja would continue to be one of the best bookies in Nigeria, simply because they offer a wide range of options for every sport. Their reputation alone and nationwide presence speaks volumes of why they are one of the best...if not the best bookmaker in the country.

With over 20+ sports available, they cater to the traditional sports and non-traditional events in all capacities too.

If you're a football lover, then you'll particularly love Bet9ja. They have over 250+ options for football, even special options like goal methods, anytime goalscorers, cards, and corner options. It doesn't end there as they even have separate pages for ‘specials’, ‘goalscorer’ and ‘antepost’ options.

Also not leaving out other amazing sports like basketball, ice hockey, tennis and non-traditional sports like water polo, darts, rugby, American football, baseball, boxing, motorsports, winter sport, MMA and even the special outrights like elections results and awards outcome.

We can't leave out the virtual sports like the super9ja, dog races, rolling dice, number and color game, and the good old casino games.

Not leaving out the newly introduced zoom soccer which is quickly creating its mark in the sight of players.

Zoom soccer is a virtual football game that runs for ninety minutes and cuts across the top seven leagues in Europe.

For now, it only has a few options about ten in number like the home win, away win, straight draw, double chance, correct scores, and the likes.

In-Play Betting - Good

Bet9ja’s betting coverage is one of their strong suits and it's no surprise they are just as good with regards to live betting.

The number of markets available each day is very appealing, with sports such as football, basketball, and tennis featuring the most frequently.

Their dedicated in-play page brings simplicity when viewing all current live betting markets, as the odds are regularly updated based on changes in the individual events. Coupled with that, Bet9ja also offer a huge number of virtual betting options, with football, tennis, horse racing and greyhounds on offer. Something they are very much known for.

Despite all the reputation and popularity, it’s quite surprising that Bet9ja does not currently offer any live-streaming opportunities to their customers.

Although, their live score center offers an easy way for users to keep up to date with live events as they unfold. As well as this, the bookmaker provides a range of detailed statistics and form guides for customers looking to place bets.

In football, one can follow some live games which are animated in 2d by Bet9ja and the players are represented with dots giving a somewhat pictorial view of what is actually happening on the pitch.
