In recent years, the gambling and online casino market has exploded onto the scene and is now one of the biggest genres in Nigeria. With this being played all over the world, Nigeria is really starting to catch up with other countries such as the United States to become a true powerhouse of Igaming.
With more and more players starting to play online, it’s no wonder Nigeria is making waves in the Igaming space. Many companies are doing as much as possible for newer players, for example Interac casinos make it easy for newer players by providing detailed guides and game descriptions allowing players to fully understand what they’re playing.
But what exactly is happening with Nigeria’s gaming scene and what is happening to make it grow at its current rate? In this article we’ll be taking a look into Nigeria’s Igamingplatforms and how they’re growing.
What is Igaming?
Ibetting is any form of placing a wager on anything via an online method. So betting on your favourite sports team or a game of roulette just to name a few. If you can place a wager, it’s classed as Ibetting. Ibetting has recently blown onto the scene in recent years due to more and more people in Nigeria gaining access to smartphones and internet access. This means there are more people than ever able to play and bet online.
Types of Igaming
There are numerous different types of Ibetting available in Nigeria, let’s take a look at just a few of them:
Roulette
A mainstay in most countries, Roulette is a simple game to play, a wheel is spun with red and black boxes and a wheel is spun, if you call the the colour the ball lands in, you win. Seems simple enough right? It’s a true fan favourite in most places and now online in Nigeria, it’s also growing in popularity and on its way to become an all time classic.
Poker
One of the oldest games around, there was no doubt poker would make its way to Igaming and become one of the top games. Just like in other countries, poker is a mainstay in the Igaming world in Nigeria, with many players making this their casino game of choice as the rules are widely known around the world as people have played it in person for many years.
Poker is truly one of those games that will still be around in one hundred years due to its popularity.
Blackjack
Another fan favourite in the casino world, blackjack has also been thrown into the world of Igaming in Nigeria. Just like Roulette, it’s loved due to its simple rules and how easy it is to learn, with dealer giving out two cards to each player. The one with closest to 21 wins. It’s an incredibly simple yet fun and addictive game to play and one that if you play correctly, you can have fun with for hours on end.
Football
Stepping into the world of sports, iGaming also covers sports such as football. Whether it’s betting on the Nigerian league or others around the world such as the Premier League, fans love to place bets on football games all over the world. The great thing about betting on football, is just how diverse your bets can be. Unlike roulette where it’s just red or black, football can be anything from goals scored, first scorers or even the amount of corners a team will have.
The options you have are virtually unlimited, with you being able to create your bet your way and tailor it to your own design.
How betting differs to different countries such as the United States and Canada
Igaming in America and Canada is different to Nigeria as the infrastructure was already there for America and Canada. People already had computers and access to smartphones and the internet. However whilst the majority of Nigerians now have these, it’s still a relatively new thing and some only recently gained access to these.
Because of this, a larger percentage of people play in America compared to Nigeria, however we fully expect this to rise and have no doubts they will get closer and closer to other countries in the next few years.
Nigeria is a country growing every year, and the Igamingindustry is no different. With more and more people starting to play online with betting, it’s no doubt in the near future Nigeria will start to catch up to other countries such as America and Canada.
Having said this, Nigeria still has an incredible player base and numerous fans across the country, with no sign of this slowing down.
