BANGBET BOOKMAKER REVIEW
REVIEW SUMMARY
WHAT MAKES BANGBET A GOOD BETTING SITE
OUR RATING – 9.5/10
BONUS – 500K NGN
OVERVIEW
Bangbet is a relatively well-known local sports betting brand, they operate across several African countries, one of which is Nigeria. You have likely heard about them from your friends or colleagues and might be wondering if they are actually a good sportsbook operator. We are going to take a close look at everything they offer to give you a clear and unbiased overview of their services.
Bangbet holds a valid sports betting permit issued by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission of Nigeria. Upon completing our initial check of their terms and conditions, they seem to be working in line with all the applicable rules and regulations that their license enforces. We also haven’t been able to find any significant and confirmed complaints online, which is obviously a good thing.
From a technical standpoint the website is quite advanced and has a number of cool features, which we will go over in some of the sections below. There is also a phone app, which is currently available only for Android devices. Nevertheless, it is still a good addition to the overall picture.
REGISTRATION
If you decide to join Bangbet – the first thing you will come across is obviously the registration process. The registration process is surprisingly simple – you will be asked to enter your phone number and password, so all you need at this stage is your mobile phone. Once you proceed, you will receive a confirmation code as a text message, which you will be asked to enter in order to complete your registration. As soon as you are done with that, you are good to go. Creating an account from scratch will take no more than 3 minutes.
WELCOME OFFER
As a new payer you will have an option to claim a welcome bonus – Bangbet gives new players a 100% welcome bonus up to ₦500,000 for the first deposit. The minimum amount you need to deposit in order to claim this offer is ₦399, the bonus funds you receive have to be wagered 10 times with the odds of 3.00 or higher. One cool thing about this bonus is the fact that you can wager it using single bets, while most other bookmakers require you to use accumulators.
SUPPORT
Bangbet offers its users several 24/7 options when it comes to support. First of all, you have an option to send an email – this is probably a good option for issues where you need to provide screenshots and / or other attachments. Secondly, you can use Whatsapp to get assistance in real-time, it is actually a cool option as you don’t necessarily have to be logged in on their website. Finally, Bangbet also has an actual phone line, which you can call and get to talk to a real person to discuss whatever issue you might be facing. Not that many local betting brands have this option and Bangbet is luckily one of the ones that do. We have also tested their support service ourselves – we only used Whatsapp and email and we were generally satisfied with the level of support we received. All representatives that we dealt with were polite, professional and had good product knowledge, so it was easy to get our questions answered.
SPORTS BETTING SECTION AND ODDS
At the moment Bangbet offers betting on over 15 different sports with the top spot obviously being occupied by football. In fact, they have quite a decent variety of football games available on a daily basis. This allows Bang bet to easily compete with some bigger international brands. In order to give you a better overview of their sportsbook – let’s have a close look at football, as that is the sport most of us come here for.
At any given time of day you can expect to see over 1700 football games being available for betting. This covers pretty much every single country and league that you can think of. Of course, there might be some exceptions, however they are extremely rare. The number of markets will usually depend on the league in question – high-profile games have more markets, while less popular markets have less markets. On an average a football game will have around 100 markets open in its pre-game phase. Top-tier tournaments like the English Premier League or the Spanish La Liga can have up to 200 markets per game. Most games have a pretty good variety of special and combination markets available.
LIVE BETTING
Now let’s also take a look at the live betting section. Bang bet covers over 100 live games on a daily basis on an average. During weekends it can be twice that number, which is a decent live coverage even by international standards. The market variety will also not disappoint you – at any given moment each game will have around 70 markets open for betting. Most markets are open up until the very last minutes of the game and cashout is also available.
To illustrate this, let’s have a look at some real football games from the live betting section. We are going to use Club Friendlies as an example. You can see two games in the picture – one is in the first half and the other one is in the second half. Both games have 56 markets open for betting and this is something you will consistently see throughout the entire game. Regardless of what phase the game is in – it will, in most cases, have over 50 betting markets to choose from.
SPORTS COVERED BY BANG BET
Football, Basketball, Tennis, American Football, Table Tennis, Ice Hockey, Volleyball, Cricket, Darts, Handball, E-Sports, Virtuals, Rugby
DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS
Bangbet is an original Nigerian betting site and you can tell that by looking at the accepted payment methods. The two primary payment methods are OPay and PalmPay, which means that you are able to make and receive payments to and from mostly any local bank and ATM deposits. In case you are wondering whether there are any other local sportsbooks that support Palmpay, we can recommend iLOT Bet as a good alternative. Deposits are free and instant, the same applies to withdrawals. Although for obvious reasons it will still take some time for the funds to reach you.
The minimum deposit amount is ₦100.
The minimum amount you can withdraw is just ₦1.
HOW TO MAKE A DEPOSIT?
Go to bangbet.com and sign in using your phone number and password. If you don’t remember your password and are unable to log in – you can reset your password using your phone number.
Once you are logged in, you should see a black “Deposit” button on the top of the screen. Press on that button and you will be directed to the payments page, where you can complete the next step.
The payments page will allow you to choose between OPay and PalmPay, so pick the one you need and follow the given instructions to proceed with your payment.
Depending on the payment method of your choice, you might need to add some additional information. For example, this applies to bank transfers – you will need to specify your account number. Now simply follow the instructions to complete your deposit.
BANGBET WITHDRAWAL – HOW IT WORKS?
Withdrawing your winnings from Bangbet is quick and easy. The entire process can be broken down into several easy steps. We’ve gone through the process ourselves, took pictures and prepared a detailed overview of each step along the way.
Processing time: between 2 and 4 minutes.
Feel free to take your time to open Bangbet on your phone on a computer and sign in with your user account. Now, that you are signed in – feel free to follow along with the below steps at your own pace:
1. GO TO YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE
When signed in, you will see your current player account balance next to the deposit button. Tap or click your balance to open it in a new page. Here you should see a gray “Withdraw” button, which you need to press in order to move on to the next step.
2. SELECT YOUR PAYMENT METHOD
After pressing the “Withdraw” button a pop-up window will appear. You will be asked to select a payment method out of the three available options: Bank, OPay and PalmPay. From our own experience, we can recommend using OPay for quick seamless payments.
3. ENTER THE AMOUNT YOU WANT TO WITHDRAW
Now, you will be asked to enter the amount you want to withdraw from your player account. Keep in mind that a single withdrawal cannot be larger than ₦10,000. If you have more than ₦10,000 in your player account, you will need to make several withdrawal requests.
OPay withdrawals are quick, so you should see your balance top up in just a couple of minutes after requesting a withdrawal.

BANGBET APP
Bangbet have done a great job making their website mobile-friendly and in fact, their mobile website is arguably more functional than the desktop version of it. They also have a mobile app, which we will talk about more below, however that app is currently available only for Android devices. Apple users will need to stick with the mobile website, which is cool because it has everything you need.
From a technical standpoint the mobile website is built in a way to reduce your traffic usage and shorten loading times. All static elements are re-used on every page and cached by your browser, this allows you to seamlessly move between pages and sections of the website. The actual user interface is pretty similar to what you would normally see with other betting providers and their apps – it is intuitive and easy to get used to. One more cool thing to mention here is the fact that the UI gives you information about the number of games available per sport and the number of markets per game, all on the home page. You don’t have to jump between pages to find that out.
BANGBET APP DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
If you are an Android user – you can download the Bangbet app, which is available on their official website. From a functional standpoint you will get access to the same features that websites users will have, although it will be significantly easier to manage your withdrawals. The app itself is quite small (just under 6 MB) and can be quickly downloaded and installed. Also, if you are going to use the app – make sure to keep it up to date if you don’t want to miss any new features and offers.
Follow the steps described below to install and open the application on your phone.
First Step – Download the APK File
Follow the link below to open Bangbet’s website and create an account, if you don’t yet have one. Once your account is all set – login and open the navigation menu, as you can see on the picture. Now, find the app icon and select it to start the download.
Second Step – Install the App
When the app is downloaded, you will see a pop-up saying that it is ready. Tap the “open” button to start the installation process.
At this stage your phone can give you a warning that the app is from an unknown source, so it requires additional approval. Chrome will give you an option to go over to the settings page.
On the settings page, you will need to enable the “Allow from this source” switch.
Once you do that, you need to tap the installation file again to install it on your device.
Step Three – Open the App and Sign in
Now, you should see the Mozzartbet app being available on your phone’s home screen. You can log in using your existing account if you have one or you can create an account directly in the app.
BANG BET DESKTOP SITE OVERVIEW
A functional and user-friendly interface design is usually a good sign when it comes to betting sites, as this will enable you to find exactly what you need in just several steps, markets and selections should be clearly visible and understandable while the betslip part should show all details relevant to your bet and additional options and/or features if applicable. Below are some examples of how Bangbet’s online sports betting section looks like.
The Bangbet desktop website looks exactly like you would expect a betting site to look like. The layout will be instantly familiar to anyone, who is at least distantly familiar with betting in general. You will see the interface being divided into a number of sections (sports, live, upcoming, etc.) based on the activity you are interested in along with a sports selection menu on the right. What we really like about their user interface is the amount of overview information it gives you. You can see how many games are currently available for each sport and how many markets are traded in each game without actually having to open them. This will save you a lot of time that you would have otherwise spent on moving between pages searching for games with most markets. Account management pages like deposits, withdrawals and bet history are all easily accessible and are conveniently located next to each other.
BANGBET AFFILIATE PROGRAM
As you might already know, Bangbet has an affiliate program that you can apply to. This will allow you to promote their brand and earn commission from every new player that you bring in. Affiliate programs are a common practice among betting operators and Bangbet are no exception. If you are interested and want to get started, we will tell you more about this below.
HOW IT WORKS?
If you are planning to become a Bangbet affiliate – you will first need to create a regular user account. If you already have an account, you can use it as your affiliate account. Once you have an account, you will need to go to Bangbet’s affiliate website (link below), fill out the registration form and submit it. Your application will then be up for review. When and if your application is approved, you will get an email notifying you of that and an affiliate manager will get in touch with you to discuss all remaining details. If you have a website or a blog page with a good number of visitors – that might be a good place to start promoting Bang bet.
