National Lottery Regulatory Commission Clears The Air, Lists Authentic Licenced Betting Companies
The National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) says it has approved 19 additional sports betting and gaming operators in Nigeria.
In addition, to support the interested public, a link to all officially accredited sports betting and gaming providers has been officially provided.
The Director General of the Commission, Lanre Gbajabiamila, in a statement released Wednesday named the operators Zebet, Betika, Gobet, Msport, Afribet and Bangbet. Also on the list are Betwazobia, Koretbet, Paripesa, Livescorebet, Blackbet /Betty Bingo, Cloudbet, Hallabet, N1bet, Konfambet, Scratch2win, Naijabet, Lottomania and Millionaire Powerplay.
The latest development means the sports betting window for customers has been expanded, allowing for mega winnings.
Gbajabiamila cleared up possible misunderstandings about the authenticity of the listed companies by stating that they had been duly approved by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
Your clarification is necessary in light of the previous position of the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA).

He cleared up possible misunderstandings about the authenticity of the listed companies by stating that they had been duly approved by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
The Commission says this clarification is necessary in light of the previous position of the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA).
The Lagos State lotteries authority was saying that the companies are illegal.
Gbajabiamila claimed the opposite, saying they were genuine because they were duly licensed to operate lottery and sports betting businesses in Nigeria.
“It is therefore imperative that the NLRC, as the statutory authority to regulate lotteries and gambling in Nigeria, make a statement.
“Therefore, the following gaming operators listed as “unlicensed and illegal” in the LSLGA publication are duly authorized to conduct lottery and sports betting activities in Nigeria.”
“The NLRC deeply regrets any misunderstanding this unfortunate publication may have caused among domestic gaming licensors operating in Nigeria under the law,” it added.
In the interests of the gambling public, he presented a long list of gambling operators in the country.
This, according to him, can be found at https://nlrc-gov.ng/list-of-approved-gaming-operators, the official website of the NLRC.
