1xBet obtained authorization to conduct business in Nigeria, effective through 2024. The nation’s National Lottery Regulatory Commission bestowed this permit, showcasing 1xBet’s dedication to the Nigerian market. Since 2018, they’ve been operational within the country, collaborating with entities like the Nigerian Football Federation, the national team, and the domestic professional league.
1xBet is a prominent figure in African football, securing a sponsorship agreement with the Confederation of African Football and even partnering with elite clubs such as Barcelona. Their presence extends to other African nations, including Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, and Burundi, where they possess licenses and provide their services.
Nevertheless, it’s important to acknowledge that 1xBet has encountered controversy. In 2019, their global activities came under examination, resulting in the dissolution of a partnership with the English Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. Currently, 1xBet’s website remains unavailable in the UK.
