How We Rate
On this page 5
Our rankings are built from checks that can be verified by anyone with the same account: licensing, the smallest accepted naira deposit, wallet payout speed, the real terms of the welcome offer, the apps that exist, the payment rails supported and how many countries the operator actually serves. Nothing on this page depends on how a site feels to us.
The seven checks
- Licensing. Whether the operator holds a Nigerian state licence — and if it does not, which offshore authority it answers to instead.
- Minimum deposit. The smallest naira amount the cashier will accept, taken from the cashier, not from the marketing page.
- Welcome offer. The maximum, the rollover multiple and the deadline, quoted together or not at all.
- Payout speed. How long an e-wallet withdrawal takes once the account is verified.
- Apps. Whether a native app exists for the device you are holding, and where it is downloaded from.
- Naira rails. Support for OPay, PalmPay, Moniepoint, instant NIBSS transfer, Verve and USSD.
- Reach. How many countries the operator serves, as a proxy for how long it has been running a real business.
How a ranking is built from them
Each shortlist starts from the operators that pass the check the page is about — a page about small deposits only lists books that take small deposits — and the top of the list goes to the biggest verified offer among the books we have a commercial arrangement with. The filters above every table are the same seven checks, so you can rebuild the order yourself and see which operators drop out of it.
What the number next to each row means
The figure out of ten is a position marker for that shortlist and nothing more: it follows the order of the table you are looking at, so the same operator can carry a different figure on another page whose check suits it better. It is not a test score, it is not an average of the seven checks, and it does not come from an account of ours. Read the row, not the number: the licence, the minimum deposit and the payout window under each brand are the parts that are taken from a source.
What we do not do
We do not state anything about a bookmaker we cannot show you: no invented licence numbers, no borrowed bonus figures, no claim to have deposited or withdrawn money ourselves. Where an operator does not publish a number, the field stays empty on the page rather than being filled with a plausible one. Links to operators are commercial and marked as such, and a commercial arrangement does affect which books reach a shortlist and in what order. What it cannot touch is a fact: a licence, a rollover multiple or a cashier minimum is what the operator publishes, whether or not we are paid for the click.
Corrections
Terms change without notice, and pages here carry the date they were last checked. If a number on this site is out of date, tell us on the contact page and we will re-check it against the operator's own cashier.
