Often do people see NairaBet as the little brother of Bet9ja, but let me tell you something. In reality, NairaBet was the first licensed sportsbook in Nigeria. They were the operator who first took the step into the online betting scene and since then, they have established themselves as a highly regarded choice within the gambling industry.
Personally, I do not have much experience with NairaBet, but I have been following their journey to become the number one sportsbook in Nigeria. So lets see what Nigeria’s first licensed betting site has to offer us.
- Clean and intuitive website
- Easy and fast sign up process
- Secure banking methods
- Prioritizes customer experience and satisfaction
- Great odds on football fixtures
- Attractive promotions for existing customers
- No Live Sports
- Slow withdrawal time
- No welcome bonus
First impression of NairaBet
Being an independent bookie in Nigeria, NairaBet has done a great job matching its web design and overall betting experience to that of international betting websites. The NairaBet website has fast loading times and its web layout is clean, crisp, and easy to navigate.
The Nigerian-based bookie uses bright blue and green colors to highlight the important bits of their website. The font chosen is crisp and the main menu is straightforward. Players have a chance to experience the website’s features before committing which is a plus.
If you are new to the NairaBet website, you can seamlessly navigate to the main sports fixtures through a convenient list to the left of the page. Placing your first bet is equally easy and is facilitated by a convenient column located to the extreme right.
We noticed the website lacks a welcome bonus, but the promotions page has plenty of perks to keep you around for a while. You could also navigate the bonuses through a flashy banner just below the main menu.
Besides betting on the site, you can sign up to become an agent and facilitate bets and other services on behalf of NairaBet. It is a lucrative opportunity to boost your income through commissions.
In a nutshell, the NairaBet website looks solid and promising, and we cannot wait to delve into the finer details.
