Bet9ja is one of the most popular gambling companies in Nigeria, offering sports betting, casino, live casino, and virtual sports. Bet9ja first came to the market in September 2013 and holds valid gambling licenses for both sports betting and casino across Nigeria.
You will find a modern, fast, and user-friendly desktop website, two mobile apps (sports and casino for Android), and two mobile optimised sites for older phones and smartphones.
Bet9ja offers a massive signup offer for new customers with a 100% matches first deposit up to ₦100,000.

Bet9ja has several unique promotions for existing customers to help players get more value for their money.
Super9ja - A free to play prediction game in which players can win ₦10,000,000! Predict the correct scores from 6 matches to win the massive jackpot!
Titan Jackpots - Simply play Bet9ja League (a virtual game) normally and you could see yourself win the Red Titan Jackpot or the bumper payout of the Gold Titan Jackpot and make you a "Millionaire on the spot!".
Bet9ja Rewards - Placing bets will earn you points that you can claim prizes with such as cash rewards.
You will find a comprehensive sportsbook on Bet9ja, but there are not as many sports as most UK bookmakers with just 11 different sports available at the time of this review. Of course, this is to be expected as Nigerian betting sites do not have the financial power as the big European bookmakers.
As for the betting markets, Bet9ja offers most of the popular markets, such as the full-time result market, over/unders, both teams to score, etc, but they do not go into niche markets. The markets are rather basic, and we would like to see some cards, corners, Asian handicap markets, and ideally a bet builder so players can build custom bets.
If you are looking for more sports and betting markets in Nigeria, we recommend trying Betway Nigeria as you can bet on 20+ sports and 100's of betting markets on most football matches.
As for the betting margins (betting odds), Bet9ja has some high margins, with an average of 9.36% in our tests. But, this seems to be the case for many betting sites in Nigeria.
Bet9ja has several different products optimised for mobile, ranging from the old mobile site, a new mobile site, and mobile betting apps for Android users. After testing all three options, it is clear that Bet9ja has invested a lot of time and money in their mobile betting platforms, and truly thought of each player.
The Bet9ja old mobile site is still available for users that have older devices, or players that want to use a lot less data while still being able to bet on the go. You can place pre-match and live bets using the Bet9ja old mobile, but you will not get access to any casino games.
Tip: If you cannot find the old mobile site, simply open the menu in the new mobile site and click on "Old Mobile".
What can you access on the old mobile site?
If you own a smartphone, we recommend using Bet9ja's new mobile site for the best experience. The new mobile site is similar to the betting app, but you do not have to use up the storage on your device to download the app. The new mobile site is fast, simple, and user-friendly, and you get access to all of Bet9ja's gambling products including the online casino, and casino games that are optimised for mobile.
If you have an Android device and storage space, we recommend downloading both the sports and casino mobile apps. The apps are fast, user-friendly, and quicker for logging in. The betting apps allow you to turn on notifications so you can get alerts for the scores in matches you might have a bet on, and you can get exclusive offers through the notifications.
Sadly, Bet9ja does not offer 24/7 customer support, but the open hours are okay, and there are few contact options including no live chat.
Overall, Bet9ja is a safe, legal, and trusted gambling company for Nigerian players. You get access to a decent sportsbook and casino, but both products could be a lot better, and the customer service is below par for a company this large. Bet9ja should add more betting markets, sports, and 24/7 customer service with a live chat function. But, you can still get good value, and we recommend having a Bet9ja account just to play the free jackpot games each week.
