LINEBET BOOKMAKER REVIEW
REVIEW SUMMARY
WHAT MAKES LINE BET A GOOD BETTING SITE
OUR RATING – 9.6/10
BONUS – 160K NGN
PROMO CODE – 100NGN
OVERVIEW
Linebet has been around since 2019, so they are one of the newer brands on our radar. Even though they have been online for a number of years now, most sports fans in Nigeria haven’t heard about them until 2024. This is largely because they had not focused on the local betting market until recently.
Line bet is owned and operated by Aspro N.V, who holds a valid Gaming Curacao license. It is important to note that they don’t currently hold a license from any local regulatory organizations. Despite this, Linebet has integrated a good number of local payment methods and supports Naira as the primary account currency.
We are going to look into each aspect of Linebet as a sportsbook operator in greater detail below, so feel free to navigate to the sections that interest you the most.
REGISTRATION
Linebet’s registration process is quick and straightforward, offering you the ability to choose between four possible options. Let’s take a look at each one in more detail, so you could better understand which one would work best for you.
- One-click registration: This method is the fastest and most convenient. Simply click or tap one button, and your account will be set up instantly. Your new credentials will appear on the screen once you are logged in for the first time. You can write them down, have them saved as a text file or sent to your email address. We recommend changing your password as soon as you sign in.
- Phone registration: You can register using your phone number. Enter your number on the registration page, and you will receive a text message with a confirmation code. Enter this code and press the “Register” button. Your account will be created, and you can use your phone number to sign in from then on.
- Email registration: This is probably the most common method. Fill out a short registration form with your email address and a few other details. After completing and submitting the form, your account will be ready. It would be best for you to confirm your email address at this stage to have access to a wider range of payment options.
- Social networks: You can also create an account using your Google, Telegram, or X (Twitter) account. Click or tap the social network you want to use and follow the instructions to complete the registration process. You will then be able to sign in with that social media profile.

WELCOME OFFER
Linebet has a special welcome offer for all new players from Nigeria. You should select your desired welcome offer when creating your account. Make sure to pick the “sports bonus” option from the drop-down.
As a newcomer you can get a 100% deposit bonus after successfully completing your first deposit. The maximum amount you can get as bonus funds is ₦161,049 which you would then need to wager 5 times using accumulator bets with 3 or more selections. Each selection in your accumulator bet should have the odds of 1.40 or higher.
This bonus will be automatically credited to your player wallet as long as your first deposit is at least ₦1,700.
SUPPORT
Line bet has a live chat function which is the primary way to get in touch with support. The live chat function can be accessed from the website’s navigation menu. In that menu it is referenced as “Consultant”.
To give you a better understanding of their support service, we decided to contact them ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised by the short wait time of about 2 minutes before connecting with a support agent. The agent had a good level of knowledge and efficiently answered our queries. We asked a few questions about general betting rules and bonus terms.
SPORTS BETTING SECTION AND ODDS
Linebet has an impressive selection of spots featured in their betting section. At the moment you can choose from over 50 different betting disciplines. This also includes things like betting on weather, politics, and TV shows like the Eurovision.
The minimum amount you can bet is ₦30.
Let’s take a look at their coverage of local leagues, to give you a better understanding of what you can expect to see here as a football fan. We are going to watch an upcoming Nigerian Premier League game between Akwa United and Heartland. This game has more than 350 markets open for betting. Even though it did not have player markets, there was still a good selection of various special bets and combination markets available.
LIVE BETTING
The live betting section generally features all the same sports as the pre-match one. Of course, except for the ones where a “live” phase is not applicable.
If we look at live football games from Nigerian leagues, then the variety of betting markets will also be similar to the ones you would have seen in the pre-game phase. Again, even though there will likely be no player markets, you will consistently have access to corner and card markets until the last minutes of any game.
Of course, high-profile games and tournaments will always have player markets as well as various player-specific special bets.
SPORTS COVERED BY LINE BET
Football, Tennis, Basketball Ice Hockey, Volleyball, Table Tennis, Cricket, American Football, Esports, Australian Rules, Bare-knuckle Boxing, Baseball, Beach Soccer, Bicycle Racing, Billiards, Boat Racing, Bowling, Bowls, Boxing, Chess, Darts, Field Hockey, Floorball, Formula Futsal, Gaelic Football, Golf, Greyhound Racing, Greyhound Racing AntePost, Handball, Horse Racing, Horse Racing AntePost, Hurling, Kabaddi, Keirin, Lottery, Martial Arts, Motorsport, Muay Thai, Netball, Padel, PesApallo, Politics, Pro Wrestling, Rugby, Special Bets, Speedway, Squash, Toto, Trotting, Trotting AntePost, TV Games, UFC, Water Polo, Weather

First of all, if you are using Wema Bank, Polaris Bank or Fidelity, you should be able to make direct bank payments to top up your player wallets. Alternatively, you can use Verve or Flutterwave to make deposits. Of course, other payment providers like PerfectMoney and Skrill are also supported.
Finally, if you would like to use crypto to make payments and withdraw your winnings – you can do that. At the moment, you will be able to choose between 30 different cryptocurrencies.
The minimum deposit amount for most payment methods is ₦100.
The minimum amount you can withdraw is ₦550 for some payment methods.
Please review all the available withdrawal methods to make sure a suitable one for you is available. We recommend doing that before making your first deposit.

LINEBET MOBILE
Linebet has a well-optimized mobile website and an app for Android phones. However, since there isn’t an official iOS app yet, we’ll focus on the mobile website first. The mobile website’s layout closely mirrors that of the app.
We tested Linebet’s mobile website with three different devices – an iPhone 13, a Google Pixel 2 XL and an older Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Upon reviewing and testing their website, we can confidently say that they did a reasonably good job at optimizing their website for mobile devices.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The mobile website performed well on all the devices we tested it on. However, it’s important to note that there are currently no special features like football or esports streams available, so we can’t know how those would function on older devices.
Linebet’s mobile website uses caching functionality, allowing your browser to download and store most static page elements. This means that when you navigate between pages, elements are loaded from your phone’s memory rather than being downloaded from the internet each time. This approach significantly reduces the time it takes to open and load new pages, which is particularly beneficial if you have a slower internet connection.
USER INTERFACE
The user interface of Linebet is designed for easy navigation, with multiple menus for quick access to different sections of the website. Having covered the key technical aspects, let’s take a closer look at the UI:
Header: The main navigation panel, located in the website’s header, allows access to several sections of the website, including payment and account management pages. To view all navigation links, tap the icon resembling a person in the top right corner of the screen.
Sports Navigation Menu: Located below the header, this menu is focused on sports. It includes a toggle for switching between pre-match and live games, along with a vertical scrolling menu listing all available sports. Each sport has an indicator showing the number of available games.
Betslip: You can find it at the bottom center of the screen, the betslip becomes available once you pick a betting outcome. You can access it by tapping the small betslip icon. The betslip’s design is minimalistic, offering options to adjust your stake, modify odds change preferences, and add combine selections into system bets.
Linebet App Download (Android) and Installation
The Android app can be run on any device with version 5 or higher. If you have an older version, you will need to use the mobile website for now.
Follow the steps below to install and open the application on your phone.
First Step – Download the APK File
Press the green download button and to start downloading the app. Your phone can give you a pop up with a warning (as seen on the picture), you will need to press the “Ok” button to proceed.
Second Step – Install the App
Once the app is downloaded you will get another pop-up asking whether you want to open it. Press the “open” button to proceed.
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 Linebet 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.
LINEBET DESKTOP SITE OVERVIEW
A functional and user-friendly interface design is crucial for betting sites, as it allows users to find what they need in just a few steps. Markets and selections should be clearly visible and understandable, while the betslip should display all relevant details and additional options or features if applicable. Here are some examples of how Linebet’s online sports betting section is structured.
To explore the desktop website, we will break it down into four key sections:
Header: At the top, the header serves as the central navigation menu, linking to various sections of the website. You can find all essential elements such as the deposit button, your current account balance, and links to account management pages.
Left Sidebar – Sports Selection Menu: Positioned on the left side of the screen, this menu provides an overview of different sports and tournaments available for betting. Each listing includes an indicator showing the number of open games for that sport or tournament.
Center – Betting Interface and Markets: The center of the screen typically displays a list of individual games, each with a preview of the most popular betting markets. Clicking on any game shifts the display to a detailed view of that game, which includes a scoreboard (for live games) and a comprehensive list of all betting markets.
Betslip: Located on the right, the betslip area is where your selections from the betting interface are added. This section allows you to adjust your stake, add more selections, and place your bets. Additionally, there’s a tab labeled “My Bets” where you can view your active and recent bets.
LINE BET AFFILIATE PROGRAM
Linebet offers its own affiliate program and has a dedicated affiliate portal. If you can attract new players, joining their affiliate program might bring you an additional revenue stream.
HOW IT WORKS?
To begin, you need to apply to become an affiliate through the affiliate portal, accessible via a green button. The registration process is straightforward, requiring you to complete a basic registration form.
After submitting your form, an affiliate manager from Linebet’s team will contact you. This will be your chance to ask questions and discuss the details of your potential partnership.
Typically, you will start with a standard revenue share arrangement, earning a percentage of the revenue generated by the players you bring in. Depending on your promotional strategy, other partnership models may also be available.
