A well-known internet gaming site, 1xBet, has been awarded a countrywide permit to conduct business in Nigeria. This authorization, given by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and effective until 2024, highlights 1xBet’s dedication to the Nigerian market.
Since 2018, 1xBet has been operational in Nigeria, collaborating with significant football organizations such as the Nigeria Football Federation, the Super Eagles (Nigeria’s national football team), and the Nigeria Professional Football League. The firm is also a major backer of African football, with a sponsorship agreement with the Confederation of African Football and even collaborations with international football powerhouses like FC Barcelona.
Despite its significant presence in Africa, with licensed operations in nations such as Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, and others, 1xBet has encountered certain obstacles. Notably, investigations into its worldwide activities in 2019 resulted in the termination of a partnership with Tottenham Hotspur, an English Premier League team. As of now, the 1xBet website is unavailable in the United Kingdom.
