Withdrawal limits and maximum payout: Nigerian bookmakers compared

By Victor Anozie · 2026-10-14 · updated 2026-10-20 19:06 WAT

How much each bookmaker lets you withdraw, how long it says a withdrawal takes, the most a bet can pay, and the rules that hold a withdrawal up. Every figure is the bookmaker's own, from the page linked under the tables. Where a bookmaker publishes no figure, the table says so rather than guessing.

On every winning payout from these bookmakers, Lagos also takes 5% of the net winnings before the money reaches you: see the betting tax in Nigeria.

Withdrawal limits

m = million, bn = billion naira.

How long it takes, and what it costs
