1xBet obtained authorization for operation within Nigeria. The betting firm was granted a license effective until 2024 by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission. This action demonstrates 1xBet’s dedication to the Nigerian market, where they have maintained a presence since 2018. They have established collaborations with entities such as the Nigeria Football Federation, the Super Eagles (Nigeria’s national football team), and the Nigeria Professional Football League.
1xBet holds a significant position within the sports betting industry, particularly in Africa. They are affiliated with the Confederation of African Football and have previously provided sponsorship to prominent clubs like Barcelona. Beyond Nigeria, 1xBet operates legally in numerous other African nations, including Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, DR Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, and Burundi.
Nevertheless, the company has encountered certain disputes. In 2019, their association with the English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur was terminated following an inquiry into their global business practices. Currently, their online platform remains unavailable within the UK.
