Bookmakers margin

While Nairabet might not be able to compete with other bookmakers in Nigeria with regards to a number of sports markets, they offer a detailed coverage on the ones they do have. Although, as earlier said, the focus on football with Nairabet can be a turnoff to any non-football lover. If you don't love football in any way, Nairabet definitely isn't the place for you.

As of now, they offer bets on a total of 18 sports, with the likes of basketball and tennis having been joined by less popular disciplines including handball, futsal, rugby, and darts.

Asides all of this, Nairabet also recently put casino games and virtual markets available for customers as both of those options are fast becoming popular among Nigerian bettors.

Because of their preference for football, we can see lots of options under this sports market. To put this into an explanation, one can see as many as 1000 daily football events while the likes of basketball and tennis can be way below 100. Such is the dominance of football on this platform.

Being one of the first in the country and seeing themselves as traditional bookmakers, they have a separate column for the NFL (Nigerian Professional League) where the lovers of the local league in the country have a wide spectrum of options available. Not just the 1 X 2 option, Nairabet covers the local league almost like they do the European leagues and they are the most detailed in this aspect.

A unique feature about Nairabet is the blog they have which gives in-depth tips, match previews and general football news in summary. Meaning as a football lover, you can have a lot to do on the Nairabet website asides placing your bets. This has helped them grow a massive amount of football lovers and engagements on social media through the sport.

Odds are displayed in either decimal, American or fractional and users have the option of changing this at will at the top of the page.

Despite improving the number of markets in which they cover, NairaBet does not come out well with regards to their betting coverage. For sure, football fans will be pleased with the number of provided options, with customers able to bet on the match-winner, first goalscorer, total goals and even number of corners on major matches from across the world. However, fans of other sports don't have this luxury and unfortunately, it spreads to their live betting as well

While this bookie provides appealing odds on such markets also, it comes an as little surprise that there are lots of limitations on their live bet.

The "Live" icon can be seen on the top menu on the homepage and when it's clicked, a dedicated in-play page displays all current options in this area. The number of football markets is again numerous but a massive downside is that only volleyball and ice hockey are the other sports found for live betting as it stands. Something that comes as a big surprise considering their popularity and reputation in the country.

Another area Nairabet might consider improving on is the fact that they offer no live streaming services. Only the horse-racing fans are afforded this luxury and that is a big disadvantage too. But then, a plus to their horse racing service is that one is not required to deposit cash in his betting account and even those without a Nairabet account can partake too.

Lastly, seeing the popularity and demand in the country, Nairabet also started a range of virtual betting markets which are also gaining in popularity.
