Bet on Plateau

Betting on Plateau? Find the best online bookmakers here – with the best odds! Plateau, as a recent winner and with good strikers, is poised to make a mark on the NPFL all star tables, watch it come and relish!

Betting in Nigeria is regulated on both a provincial and federal level – so a bookmaker will receive rights to market only in the area covered by the license. Understandably, Lagos is the favourite state for registration.

Online betting is rapidly gaining popularity in Nigeria. Physical betting shops still cover approximately 80-90% of the market, but pure online is gaining traction.

While most bets are still placed on the UK Premier League, the NPFL is rising quickly in bets as games are getting more controlled. Betting on NPFL teams like Enyimba, Rangers or Plateau United is popular in betting shops and online on sites like 1XBET and Melbet.  

Here is a pick of licensed top online betting sites in Nigeria:

Betting in Nigeria – FAQ

Is sportsbetting legal in Nigeria?

Yes, sportsbetting is legal as long as the bookmaker has a Nigerian license.

Can I play on a site that does not have a license?

It is possible (even probable) that many bookmakers will accept you as a client. Bettinglegit does not recommend signing up with an unlicensed bookmaker, as this is illegal (we have not heard of a player being prosecuted though). But primarily, getting your funds out of the bookmaker may be harder. 

Legal Betting Sites by Region

Online betting follows different rules by country. Typically, bookmakers are restricted in the form of advertising and accepting bets - sometimes sites are also blocked.
