The emergence of Nairabet

Nairabet is the first internet sports betting platform to be launched in Nigeria. It was launched in 2009 by owner and founder, Otunba Akin Alabi, who is a Nigerian politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is also the author of the business and marketing book titled Small Business Big Money. He is well known for organizing motivational seminars and helping young Nigerians start their businesses. He is also known for supporting the entertainment industry and managing some rising artists in the country. Otunba Akin Alabi started Nairabet because of the increasing love and passion for the sport in the country coupled with the fact that Nigerians could only place a bet online on foreign sites using foreign currencies and he thought of the possibility to bet on a Nigeria owned betting platform which allowed the use of the local currency, Naira. Nairabet sports betting company is licensed by the Lagos state lottery board. 

Why use Nairabet?

Nairabet offers the chance to bet on several sports with thousands of in-game options to bet on. Most punters bet on games before they start as they feel they are safer to place bets on, although that might not be entirely accurate. The Live betting option in Nairabet allows for punters to go with the flow of a game as it is currently happening and make predictions of what could happen in the next minutes. It allows for a more realistic approach and better judgement to earn more.

For example, if Tottenham football club is playing Arsenal in an English premier league game and they are winning in the 46th minute and Arsenal’s coach, Mikel Arteta introduces Alexandre Lacazette as a substitute, you might feel that’s a game-changing substitute who could stage a comeback for Arsenal and place a live bet that Arsenal will win or draw the game as the game goes on.

Casino Betting

The casino industry in Nigeria is not as successful as you’ll expect or in comparison with the industries in countries like Kenya and South Africa.
