About Street Magic

Getting started with sports betting in Nigeria is straightforward, but a little preparation goes a long way. The first step is choosing a licensed platform that operates legally in the country and offers the sports you care about most.

Once you have picked a platform, create an account with a valid phone number and email address. Most Nigerian operators require you to verify your identity before you can withdraw winnings, so keep your details accurate from the start.

Depositing money is usually instant. Nigerian bettors can fund their accounts through bank transfer, card, USSD or popular mobile money options. Always deposit only what you can afford to lose.

“Our position is unequivocal. Betting is an adult activity. Operators must maintain effective age verification, marketing must not target or appeal to children and regulators; parents, schools and communities must reinforce the same message.”

As part of Africa Safer Gambling Week, the AiA has also focused on the illegal market, with Kesitilwe highlighting that offshore operators are harmful for player protection.
