BETBONANZA BOOKMAKER REVIEW
REVIEW SUMMARY
WHAT MAKES BETBONANZA A GOOD BETTING SITE
OUR RATING – 9.5/10
BONUS – 100K NGN
OVERVIEW
BetBonanza is a relatively mature Nigerian betting brand, which was founded way back in 2014. They have since then accumulated an enormous community of loyal players. It is safe to say that they are one of the more interesting original Nigerian bookmakers, especially when compared side-by-side with others. Over ten thousand new players register at BetBonanza every month, so we are going to take a look at what’s so special about them.
The first noteworthy thing we were able to find out was the fact that they hold licenses with two different Nigerian regulators. This is something you would rarely see with local brands. BetBonanza is licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries Board (license No: 001370) as well as by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (permit No: 0001026). This ensures that their legitimacy is definitely covered from all possible angles. Additionally, we were unable to find any substantial and unresolved complaints in relation to the services that they provide, which is obviously a good sign as well. Nevertheless, we are going to check everything ourselves.
REGISTRATION
As a first-time visitor the first thing you will need to do is register. The registration process at BetBonanza is surprisingly quick and straightforward. You simply have to fill out a rather basic registration form – the only real requirement is to have a valid phone number and email address. Once you complete and submit the form you will be all set to log in and start betting. The entire registration process will take you around 1 minute.
Another cool thing here is the fact that you can use your Facebook or Google account to login – this is possible if the email address is the same as you used for your BetBonanza account. Just click the corresponding logo next to the username box and you will get a sign in a pop-up window.
WELCOME OFFER
A good welcome offer is one of the key things to attract new players – you may come because of the bonus, but you will stay because of the high-quality betting service. BetBonanza are well aware of this, so they have quite a generous welcome offer for all newcomers. As a new player you will get a 100% bonus up to ₦100,000 for your first deposit and free bets for your second and third deposits. The total amount of free bets you can claim is 10.
SUPPORT
Support might not be that important to you if everything is going smooth, yet if you find yourself in need of assistance – this might become an urgent matter. BetBonanza seems to have gone above and beyond in terms of support – you can get help via live chat, email, contact form, Whatsapp and even phone. Support is available every day (no days off) between 8AM and 10PM. We submitted several tickets just to see how they work and we are delighted to tell you that all our issues were addressed quickly and professionally. All representatives we dealt with spoke good English, which made it very easy to communicate.
BETTING MARKETS AND ODDS
BetBonanza currently cover 25 different sports and more are expected to be added in the future. As you can understand there is never any shortage of games and markets to bet on. Obviously, the focus has mostly shifted towards the most popular sports, especially football which we are going to look into in more detail.
At any given day you will see between 600 and 1000 pre-match football games being available for betting. The number of markets within each game will largely depend on the tournament. As we all know larger and more popular tournaments usually have more markets, while slammer ones are expected to have less. Still, let’s take a look at some numbers to better understand what we can expect here. Regardless of the tournament you can expect a game to have at least 500 different markets open for betting on any game – this number can go up all the way to 1500 for tournaments like the Spanish La Liga or Champions League. It goes without saying, that this kind of rich variety of markets gives you access to all sorts of combinations and special bets.
Now let’s shift our attention over to live betting – we will use football as an example here as well. Live games coverage as we can all understand largely depends on the season, so we will try to outline some average number. You can expect to see between 600 and 1000 live football games covered on a monthly basis. Each individual game will have at least 300 different markets open as the games progresses, it can be three times more for larger and more popular leagues.

BETBONANZA MOBILE
BetBonanza don’t currently have a betting app so both Apple and Android users will need to use the mobile site. This is in no way a disadvantage as the mobile website is extremely well-optimized and in some ways might be even better than an actual app. Let’s take a look at some key aspects and features, which make the overall betting experience superior to some other local brands.
First of all we would like to note the simplicity of design – all things you need to see are usually available on all main screens. For example, the number of betting markets open in a given game, you don’t have to open the actual game to find out – this can be seen on the “overview” page. The same simplicity applies when you open a game – markets are carefully sorted in categories, which you can filter. This makes the interface a lot easier to navigate.
From a technical standpoint BetBonanza have done quite a remarkable job as well – all static page elements are cached in your browser. This means that every time you move from one page to another most visual elements are already present. They aren’t being loaded over and over again, which significantly reduces traffic consumption.
BETBONANZA DESKTOP SITE OVERVIEW
A functional and user-friendly interface is usually a good sign when it comes to betting sites, 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 www.betbonanza.com online sports betting section and betslip look like.
The desktop website follows all most popular industry standards, which makes it easy to get used to even if you are here for the first time. The “sport selector” menu on the right shows you the number of available games for each sport, so you don’t have to waste any time going into every one of them to find this out. The same applies to betting markets, you can see the number of open markets before you even open a game – so finding one with the most markets is a matter of minutes.
The live betting section is structured and designed in a similar manner to the pre-match section, which we covered above. There is just one addition here – a live scoreboard, which shows you what is happening in the game in real-time. It also has various statistics and a full timeline of the game, so you can look at every action retrospectively.
In general, the desktop site doesn’t specifically stand out in any major way. It does however appear to be a relatively good industry-standard product, which will cater all your basic betting needs.
