Merrybet

Merrybet betting website was established in 2013 in a time when the Nigerian betting industry was still scarcely populated with quality online betting options. Since its establishment, they have served as a viable alternative for some and the main betting website for others.

Sports

It is an open secret that football betting takes precedence over other types of betting option in Nigeria due to a large number of supporters it has, Merrybet also shares in this sentiment by showing a little bias towards football games.

However, it was still able to provide up to 23 types of sports besides football which further increased betting options for punters. Some of them are basketball, tennis, NFL, rugby, cricket and many others.

Live Betting

Just like the other top betting firms in Nigeria, the fact that a game has commenced does not deprive you of placing stakes on the said game. At Merrybet, you are not only allowed to place stakes on live games, commentaries are available for most games and some games have the live-streaming option.

Virtual Games

Not only are you pampered with plenty of real games to choose from, Merrybet also offers its punters the opportunity to place stakes in virtual games that are almost a replica of real games in terms of video quality. Presently, there is Horse racing, Football, Basketball and Dog racing.

Betting Limits

Merrybet maintained the industry standard of 50naira as the minimum stake that can be placed on any game or accumulation of games. However, there is no uniform maximum stake for the games offered by Merrybet.

As a player-centered establishment, it runs several awareness campaigns about the need to gamble responsibly and steps to take in the event that one is becoming obsessed with winning.

Bonuses and Promotional offers

If you are looking for a betting firm with sign-up bonus, you are advised to try another betting website because Merrybet does not have such a bonus offer. However, it offers several promotional offers on an occasional basis to punters (though within a short period).

In the event that it’s just a game that defers you from winning in an accumulative slip of at least 5 games, Merrybet will be willing to offer you a reimbursement fee of up to 5% of your loss as long as you are willing to claim it.
