Bet9ja Review

Looking to get in on some sports betting action? Established in 2013 and licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries Board, Bet9ja may be your sportsbook. In this review, we'll take a look at this bookmaker, examining everything from the software and mobile app to the betting markets and customer service.

Bet9ja Bonus Offers

Unlike many of their local competitors, Bet9ja presents a host of attractive bonuses for new customers, including the Welcome Bonus, the 'Cut 1' feature, Win Cash, Cashout, 170% Multiple Boost, and the VIP/Loyalty Program.

We will soon take a closer look at each one of them, but there is no doubt that this bookmaker deserves the benefit of the doubt. 

Bet9ja Welcome Bonus

As an enticing incentive for new customers, Bet9ja presents an attractive welcome bonus equivalent to 100% of the initial deposits. The maximum amount of the welcome bonus that can be obtained is 100,000 NGN, depending on the value of the first deposit. However, the welcome bonus is subject to terms and conditions.

• To be eligible for the welcome bonus, the first deposit must be a minimum of 100 NGN, with subsequent deposits not qualifying for this promotion. 
• The welcome bonus is exclusively available to users who have made their first deposit using one of the online deposit methods provided by Bet9ja.

Bet9ja VIP/Loyalty Program

Bet9ja’s loyalty program enables consistent bettors to earn points and cash rewards by placing bets on the sportsbook.
 A qualifying bet is a minimum wager of 100 NGN placed on an event in the sportsbook.
The system works as follows:

But the reward system has seven ranking groups.ng in the 'Blue' rank with your initial wager, you can climb to the ultimate 'Diamond' ranking group. 
The ranking groups are significant as they include multipliers that accelerate the accumulation of reward points. It basically means that the larger volume and amount of your bets increase your chances of reaching a premium status more quickly.

Win Cash

Bet9ja has developed a special project to incentivize loyal customers, where you can acquire points and bonus cash rewards for betting activity.

As soon as you place your first qualifying bet, you'll begin earning reward points through Bet9ja Rewards. The program comprises two key elements: building your rank and attaining rewards.

Win or lose, Bet9ja will convert your bets into points depending on the number of bets placed, the number of selections, and the amount staked. 

Cashout

Bet9ja cash out is available for both pre-match and live bets and enables you to end your bets and take the money before all of your selections are settled.

The 'Cash Out' feature is not available at all times, so it’s up to players to keep track of their betslips.

The 'Cash Out' amount depends on the likelihood of your bets. The better the chances of a winning outcome, the greater the payout. 

Bet9ja: Design & Usability

The Bet9ja website boasts a simplistic design with a sleek layout that allows for effortless navigation. The desktop version of Bet9ja is user-friendly and smoothly grasped.

The website provides easy access to every sports category and subcategory. The relevant odds can be found at the center of the webpage. 

As far as the mobile app is concerned, Bet9ja launched a new, improved version a few years ago, focusing on a more modern layout and adding features that provide value to the overall sports betting experience. But there's plenty of room for improvement. 

Indeed, we found that many of Bet9ja's customers are still using the old version due to its simple design.

Bet9ja Sports

Like every competitive betting platform, Bet9ja provides a comprehensive offer of major sports and leagues, stretching from the most recognized competitions to numerous minor ones. 

While footballs is undoubtedly a prominent feature in the Bet9ja sportsbook, the platform offers ample coverage of various other sports. These include and are not limited to tennis, basketball, handball, boxing, beach football, volleyball, motorsports, ESports, and table tennis.

Football

As the most attractive sport for bettors, football occupies a special place on Bet9ja's menu. The bookmaker covers numerous leagues around the globe, from the most competitive competitions, such as the English Premier League, to minor championships, such as Thailand's Thai League.

Tennis

While it still lags well behind football, tennis is up there among the best of the rest as one of the most rapidly growing sports in the betting industry. Bet9ja's offer on the 'white sport' ranges from the most prominent tournaments like Wimbledon and US Open to lower-tier competitions like ITF and Challenger events.

Basketball

When it comes to basketball betting, Bet9ja provides an extensive section spanning from NBA as the world's leading championship to less attractive leagues in South America and Asia. Pre-match and in-play betting is exceptionally covered as well. 

Bet9ja Betting markets

Bet9ja offers an impressive selection of betting markets, making it one of the top options in the sports betting industry. With a comprehensive range of both major and minor sports and leagues available for betting, there is something for everyone.

Whether you're a fan of the NBA or UEFA Champions League, Bet9ja has you covered. All the major sports, leagues, and events are included in their betting markets, and there are also numerous minor leagues and sports represented as well.

Overall, we found Bet9ja's betting market offer to be one of the most extensive and well-rounded in the industry. Regardless of your betting preferences, you're likely to find plenty of options to choose between at Bet9ja.

Bet9ja's outstanding selection of major North American sports is a standout feature. With NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB included in their betting markets, Bet9ja has all the major North American sports covered.

On the downside, besides the standard bets, including Money Line, Spread/Line, Over/Under Points or Goals, and Double Chance, Bet9ja lacks Player Individual Performance markets in the case of NBA and NHL. 

Bet9ja's betting markets aren't limited to just major North American sports - they also offer extensive coverage of European football, including all the major leagues such as the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, and German Bundesliga, as well as the UEFA Champions League.

But it's not just the standout competitions that Bet9ja covers - they also provide numerous betting options for a number of minor and secondary competitions around the world.

Overall, we found the betting markets to be satisfying and diverse.

In-Play Betting & Live betting

When it comes to live football betting, Bet9ja offers a wide range of in-play options, including standard bets, 3-way, Double Chance, Draw No Bet, Next Goal, Over/Under, Total Goals, Goal Home/Away Team, Correct Score, and Odd/Even. 

We found a rare commodity for ambitious bettors, which allows you to place time-restricted bets, including 3-way bets and Over/Under. This basically means you can predict the outcome of a specific even every ten minutes.

Plus, you can bet on Goalscorer markets, as well as which players will score next goal or how many goals will a specific player score during the match. 

Bet9ja's live betting markets stretch far beyond European soccer. The majority of sports that are available for pre-match betting are also available for live betting. From basketball and tennis to snooker and table tennis, Bet9ja has a variety of other sports included in the comprehensive live betting offer. 

Bet9ja Odds

A top-notch betting site should possess a multitude of distinctive qualities, among which includes offering highly competitive odds. The significance of odds lies in their ability to determine the potential winnings from the bets, with larger odds leading to greater payouts.

Compared to some of the leading bookmakers, Bet9ja offers fairly competitive odds, especially when it comes to live betting. While some pre-match odds, specifically the Over/Under market, are slightly better than the competition, the in-play odds are pretty much in line with the other bookmakers. 

But where Bet9ja really stands out is Goalscorer markets in live betting. They offer great odds in this section, allowing bettors to predict the next goalscorer, the number of goals a specific player will score throughout the game, and so forth. 

Bet9ja Live Streaming

While Bet9ja has a live stream function implemented in the Live category, it's hard to say their streaming program is among the richest on the internet. However, it still includes some of Europe's most competitive leagues, such as Serie A, Primeira Division, and Ligue 1. 

Obtaining the rights to broadcast the Premier League or UEFA Champions League is excessively expensive, so there's no wonder those competitions are not on the menu. In order to make up for that, Bet9ja has a broad range of minor leagues worldwide on the table, including the championships from Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Croatia, and many others.

Besides football, Bet9ja's live-streaming platform covers other events in other major sports, from tennis and basketball to ice hockey. But it's important to note that while Bet9ja offers a wide variety of events for live streaming, there may still be some limitations in other 'less' attractive sports.

Live streaming is a crucial component of an exciting live betting experience, and it is a highly sought-after option by many players. Bet9ja understands the importance of live streaming and offers a robust selection of options, which we find to be a positive element. 

Equally important is the fact that Bet9ja's live streaming is available via the bookmaker's mobile version, meaning you can access live streams on your phone or tablet. While the live streaming will not start automatically by opening the event page, it takes only one click on the Stream button, positioned under the event, to get things going. 

Although Bet9ja streaming is admirable, one downside we discovered is that users must be logged in to their account at all times and have funds available in order to stream games. This requirement may be a minor inconvenience, but it does exist. Yet, it's such a small amount, as it takes only 200 NGN to watch live streams. But it’s still a setback.

Bet9ja Mobile App

The Bet9ja mobile app, developed by the Nigerian betting company Bet9ja Group, offers one of the most high-profile mobile betting experiences in Africa. With a large customer base, it's been ranked as one of the top ten betting apps in Nigeria.

The app's user-friendly interface provides users with an easy way to place bets on their favorite games. Players can easily navigate through the app, find their favorite games using the search bar, or browse through the various categories available on the homepage. 

In addition to an eye-pleasing interface, the app offers several helpful features, including notifications for updates, chat rooms, live streaming, and more. What's even more important is that the app is available for Android.

How to download Bet9j Android app?

Since Google Play doesn't support gambling apps, you must download the Bet9ja mobile app via a .apk file. 

Is there the Bet9ja mobile app for iOS?

Unfortunately, this is a letdown for the iOS users. Not only you won't be able to find the app on the iTune, but we found out that you can't run the .apk files on Apple devices. 

Overall, we found the Bet9ja mobile app to be up there with more prominent players in the industry. But again, the lack of the iOS version is a key area where Bet9ja has dropped the ball. 

Bet9ja Customer Service

Bet9ja currently offers these options for customer service:

• Phone Support
• Twitter

Phone Support

Bet9ja's phone support operates between 8:00 and 21:00 local time, seven days a week. It's probably the fastest and easiest way to reach their customer service agents promptly. 

Twitter

While Bet9ja doesn't have a Facebook account as advertised by some scammers, they are on Twitter. You can tweet at them or DM them with the handle @Bet9jaHelp.

Where we fund issues with Bet9ja customer care is the lack of prompt e-mail coverage. In today's world, where most online communication goes through e-mail, the absence of comprehensive e-mail support is definitely a downside.

Bet9ja is an exceptionally safe platform to use, as it ensures the top security and protection for personal information and transactions carried out on the site. The computer system and data safeguarded by Dell servers and Fortinet Firewall also boast a Thawte SSL encryption certificate.

We found Bet9ja's effort to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information noteworthy.
