OVERVIEW
Wazobet are relatively well-known in the Nigerian sports betting community and have lots of players visiting them daily. We were curious to see what exactly they have to offer and how they are different from their competitors. Other Wazobet reviews we found online didn’t appear to have a detailed enough overview of the sports betting platform. This is why we decided to take a closer look at them ourselves and share our own unbiased opinion with you.
Wazobet aren’t licensed by neither the Oyo State Gaming Board nor the Lagos State Lotteries Board , yet they do hold a valid Curacao Antillephone N.V. (8048/JAZ) gambling license, which you can check yourself on the bookmaker’s website by clicking the regulator badge in the footer of the website. We will go over each aspect of Wazobet as a sports betting site in detail, but to start things off let’s have a look at the registration process first.
Wazobet offers you two possible registration options: email registration and phone registration. Both options are quite straightforward and will not take up a lot of your time.
REGISTRATION
Wazobet offers you two possible registration options: email registration and phone registration. Both options are quite straightforward and will not take up a lot of your time.
If you choose to register using your phone – all you have to do is enter your username and phone number. A text message will be set to your phone and you will need to follow the instructions given there to set up a password for your new account.
If you would like to register via email you would need to go through the same process only instead of a text message you will receive an email with a link. You will need to follow that link to set up a password for your newly created account.
Regardless of what registration option you decide to go with – you will be able to register in under 3 minutes.
WELCOME OFFER
As you would expect Wazobet also has a welcome bonus to help new players get started. You can get a 110% welcome bonus up to ₦50,000. And you don’t even have to make a large deposit in order to claim the bonus – the minimum required deposit is just ₦100. Overall bonus conditions are quite fair as well – for example, the wagering requirement to withdraw your bonus funds is just 5x. That is several times less compared to a number of other local betting brands.
Finally, we would like to note that Wazobet has a 24/7 support service, which is available via live chat, Telegram, email and Facebook. In order to provide you with a complete overview of their services we have made several requests to the support team ourselves. All of our requests were looked into in under 30 minutes. the representatives we chatted to were polite and spoke good English.

BETTING MARKETS AND ODDS
Wazobet covers over 25 different sports at the moment and their overall content selection is decent as well.
Let’s have a look at football to get a better understanding of what to expect. At any given day you will see around 700 pre-match football games available for betting. On an average every game would have over a 100 open markets, however that would obviously depend on the league. All top football leagues you could think of are, of course present here with a rich selection of betting markets. And it is also worth mentioning that there is usually a decent number of various goalscorer and combination markets available even on world cup games.
The live betting section didn’t disappoint us either – usually you can find around 30 concurrent football games at mostly any time of day. Given a total of 60-80 games are offered on a daily basis, you will see over a 1000 live football matches covered per month. Each live match will likely have around 50 markers open and trading at any point in the game, so there is more than enough betting opportunity to take advantage of.

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 Wazobet online sports betting section looks like.
At first glance Wazobet might seem to have a rather simplistic interface, however it is more of a positive thing here. The reason behind this is improving mobile performance – there are no unneeded flashy ads and banners and no other additional interface elements that could decrease page loading speed.
Having mentioned all of the above the UI here is still quite functional, informative and fairly easy to navigate. Even as a first-time visitor you will be easily able to find what you are looking for, as all the buttons are mostly self-explanatory. The list of sports has a number next to each entry to tell you how many games are currently available and the same applies to each individual game, so you will not have to jump from page to page to find games with the most markets.
