1 July 2019 : Bet9ja, a name frequently used amongst the sports betting committees, is now testing new waters, and expanding its base into lottery business. Its competitors include the likes of Baba Ijebu (Premier-Lotto), Lotto Nigeria, Western Lotto and others.

One might wonder how they would compete with the already established players in the lottery business- but Bet9ja plans to use its existing customer base and technology to its advantage to outfox

The company is determined to shatter all technological barriers into all entries in the lottery business. For example, if you buy something at the market place and you have a small balance of N100 left, instead of just doing away with it, you can simply use it to play a game.

In case you have been living under a rock and don’t know what this is: Sports betting is a play where the participants predict the results and place a bet on the outcome of the game, while in a lottery, the participants just randomly draw up numbers for a prize.
