"Up to 20000 NGN with your first deposit and a free bet after the second deposit to play in a bookmaker with a great selection of sports and markets."

Betsson is one of the largest betting sites in Europe, Africa and Latin America. It appeared in 1963, but it wouldn't be until 2006 when it decided to take the step to online gaming. It is one of the oldest bookies that we found in Nigeria, although it did not obtain the corresponding license until September 2021. Its offer is available in the CABA, where it is operated by Betsson Malta Holding Limited-Casino de Victoria, SA.

This betting house is originally from Sweden. Its headquarters are in Stockholm, the capital of the country, and it is listed on the stock exchange of that city. In recent years, it has heavily bet on the Hispanic market, and has a presence in Philippines, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, where it sponsors its First Division football. It is also present in Asian markets, establishing itself as one of the most important online betting and gaming operators in the world.

What does Betsson offer Philippines in Nigeria?

When you first enter Betsson, you have to choose between CABA or Buenos Aires Province, a choice that won't affect your gaming experience. Although the domain is different for both geographical areas, the Betsson interface is always the same, as will be the offer of bets, odds, welcome bonus, available payment methods, etc.

It offers a very intuitive design. Any user who has previously placed a bet will be able to easily navigate its interface, with the list of sports on the left, the most prominent events in the center, and the bet slip on the right. You have the option to do cash out and sell your bet before the end of the event you bet on to ensure winnings. Another of its standout features is the ability to create a bet on selected events.

Overall, we have a fairly comprehensive sports betting offer both in terms of sports and events as well as betting lines for each event. The odds are also very competitive. Their offer for new players consists of a 34% bonus, to which you can add a free bet up to $5,000 with your second deposit.

It is worth highlighting that their customer support service has been awarded numerous times, in addition to awards for innovation. Arguably, the weakest aspect of Betsson Nigeria is their payment methods offering, especially when it comes to depositing funds.

In addition to the sports betting lobby, you can access Betsson Casino where you will find a great selection of slots, including jackpot slot machines. In addition to sports betting and casino, Betsson completes its online gaming offering with a section on horse racing featuring the best races from France, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, Brazil, or Australia.

Betsson Welcome Bonus

Betsson welcomes Philippines with a 100% up to 20000 NGN bonus for new players offer which comes with a free bet of the same value on our second deposit. To claim the bonus, all we need to do is make a minimum deposit of 1$ and place a qualifying bet. After settling the qualifying bet, Betsson will credit Philippines with a bonus equal to our deposit amount, up to 20000 NGN.

You have 30 days to meet a x6 rollover requirement and release the bonus by placing bets with odds of 1.50 or more. Only bets made on the sportsbook will count, horse racing bets and system bets or cash out bets are excluded. If you don't complete the bonus rollover within 30 days, the remaining bonus balance will be forfeited. You cannot request any withdrawals until the rollover is completed.

In order to receive the freebet up to 20000 NGN on your second deposit, you must have either cleared the bonus or lost it -but not canceled it-. The value of the freebet depends on the deposited amount: 5000 NGN for deposits between 1000 and 2499.99 NGN, 10000 NGN for deposits between 2500 and 4999.99 NGN, or 20000 NGN for deposits greater than this amount. You have 30 days to use the freebet, and any winnings must be played three times at odds of 1.50 or greater in 14 days.

Other bonuses and promotions

The double welcome offer is not the only promotion that Betsson offers its users. It is always advisable to regularly visit the promotions section of the betting site to discover offers related to specific events, such as a football match, a tennis tournament, etc. In addition to specific promotions, there are two permanent offers:

• The Betsson Millionaire Prize. Can you keep the $100,000,000?
• Secure Combo, with up to $2,400 refund

sports and markets

After the "popular events" section featuring Argentinean events, you have a list of sports from A for chess to W for water polo. More than 25 betting categories, with football betting being the most prominent. Basketball, tennis, motor sports, and rugby are also present on Betsson Nigeria, as well as special bets and eSports. All of this is accompanied by a wide range of competitions and events.

If you are betting on the Argentine league, each match has around 120 available bets. You will see that many markets have the option "close bets" enabled. The offer improves in international matches. For example, if Nigeria plays, you can bet on the scorer or corner kicks, markets that are not always available in our championship. Betsson also offers special bets for signings, trophies that a team will win, etc.

The offer is generally good in any sport you are interested in betting on, although it always depends on the importance of the event. The more important the match or competition, the more available bets there will be. In eSports betting, you can find bets for the best CS:GO, LoL, Dota 2, Overwatch or Call of Duty tournaments. There are bets on economy and politics and special bets, such as the next winner of the Nobel Prize.

Dues

The odds offered by a betting house will largely determine whether or not we register with it. Betsson offers very competitive odds, stable in the average range when compared to the competition. Additionally, the offer of enhanced odds in some events makes them even more competitive. In this regard, Betsson's odds are up to par with what we expect from an operator of this caliber.

Live betting (live section)

Live betting is another feature that Betsson offers us. Go to the Live tab to access this section, and you can bet on live football, as well as basketball, tennis, baseball, table tennis and many other sports. This section is well structured, with filters by sports and competitions, which makes it easy to locate sports. You can access quick betting markets, something essential to take advantage of live bets.

On the main screen you can find the minute and result of the match, as well as the bets for the winner of the game and other alternative markets, such as total goals, point or set handicap, etc. Within the event, different live betting markets appear, including which team will score the next goal, winner of the current point, etc. All accompanied by quite comprehensive statistical information, especially for major events.

betsson tv

The live betting section at Betsson is completed with a streaming service that allows you to exclusively follow sports such as football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, eSports and even darts. Having a service like this helps in a deeper analysis of the event and the value of the live odds offered to us. To access the streaming, go to the Live section and click on the play symbol to see the different live events.

Payment methods

As we mentioned at the beginning, payment methods are not one of Betsson's strong points. You can load funds using VISA, MasterCard, and Maestro debit cards, payment voucher, or BBVA bank deposits. The minimum deposit amount is 500 pesos and the funds will be transferred immediately to your account. You can start playing immediately after the deposit.

The only option to withdraw funds is to request a bank transfer. Withdrawals are only accepted from 1$, and the account must be verified for the transaction to be approved. The withdrawal request is processed within 24 business hours, after which you must wait for the usual period to receive the bank transfer. No commission is applied.

Betsson app

You don't have to play at Betsson on your computer, you can do it with the Betsson app for Android and iOS. If you have an Android phone or tablet, you need to download the .apk file from the Betsson website; to play from an iOS device, you can find the app in the App Store. If you prefer, you can play from your mobile device using the responsive design of their site, but the app option is always preferred.

Is it safe to bet on Betsson?

Betsson is a completely reliable operator, as evidenced by the license obtained through the Casino de Victoria, owned by the Mautone Group. It should be noted that Betsson Nigeria has two domains: betsson.com.ar for the City of Buenos Aires and betsson.bet.ar for the Province of Buenos Aires. Beyond CABA and the province of Buenos Aires, you will not be able to play at Betsson in the rest of Nigeria. In fact, the game is geolocated.

Regardless of the domain, you can play at Betsson with the confidence offered by one of the world's most important betting sites, which enjoys a great reputation. On the Betsson website, we find seals of +18, Responsible Gaming, or the free phone line to guide problem gamblers. Also, the Self-Exclusion button. Remember to verify your account to enjoy a complete gaming experience.

Customer Support

Betsson has a comprehensive Help Centre. You can contact the betting company via live chat, which has an average response time of 30 seconds. They are available from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM and from 3:00 PM to 12:00 PM. To open it, go to the Help Centre and click on the chat button. If the chat is not available, you can write to [email protected] -they will respond within a maximum of one hour- or request a call, an option enabled according to availability.

In the Help Centre, you will also find FAQS about Betsson where you find the answer to your query. They are divided into a dozen categories, from account and verification to deposits, sports betting, promotions and bonuses, payment methods, etc. Another way to get in touch with this betting site is to do so from its profiles on social networks. You can find Betsson Nigeria on Facebook (@betssonNG) and Instagram (@betsson_Nigeria).

Betsson: Opinions and conclusion

We are not wrong in saying that Betsson is one of the most complete betting sites in Nigeria. Starting with its welcome offer and continuing with the wide variety of sports, events, and markets offered; always with very competitive odds. It also offers a good live betting experience, including some live streams.

In the promotions section, you can get up to 10$ in additional bonuses by adding your first two deposits; and you can find games like Betsson's Millionaire Prize very interesting. However, it is not a betting site that stands out for offering many promotions. Something similar happens with the limited payment methods, which is negatively highlighted in an operator of this caliber.

Highlight the Android and iOS app, allowing you to take your betting house wherever you go. Their customer service has won multiple awards, but follows a European schedule which not always be convenient for Argentine users. Additionally, their call service isn't always available. Nevertheless, Betsson is a recommended betting site for all user profiles.
