The most betting in Nigeria is done offline in betting shops. And less so on the internet.
But that will gradually change, the UK high street bookmakers like William hill and Ladbrokes, have been beaten by companies like Bwin, bet365 and the likes.
So why is that. It’s simple. Operating shops are expensive and at the end of the day you as the punter are the one that has to pay for that in the form of lower prices. Punters will realize that and they will instead of standing in line to bet, be betting from the mobile, at better prices and better terms.

So to give an example for Nigeria.
Offline your minimum bet is N50 and above, online at for instance wasere.com you can do down to N1 bet. Also on win Bonus. The highest bonus seen on 10 matches is 30 %, whereas Wasere.com gives you 50%. So more than twice as much.
Betting online gives you way more changes of winning on the same budget. So of course the smart punters go online to place their bets.
And as the market mature online and more and more people get smartphones online will take over to the benefit of the punters.
