LiveScore Bet Nigeria review 2026: withdrawal rules, limits and payouts
At LiveScore Bet, a withdrawal above ₦250,000 needs your ID first, and no single withdrawal can be more than ₦1,000,000 (LiveScore Bet help: withdrawals). Send your ID before you win big, and bet every deposit at odds of 1.10 or more.
The other rule that catches people out is the payout cap: on Nigerian football, the most you can win in a day on one type of bet is ₦8,000,000.
Each section links to the pages where LiveScore Bet itself states its rules.
Before you deposit: the withdrawal rules
LiveScore Bet’s help centre lists three reasons a withdrawal is turned down and the money goes back to your balance (LiveScore Bet help: why a withdrawal reverts):
- Name mismatch. The name on your LiveScore Bet account must match the name on the bank account. Every payment method must be in your own name.
- No ID above ₦250,000. Over that amount, you must verify your age and identity before you can withdraw.
- A deposit you have not bet. Deposits must be bet at least once (LiveScore Bet terms 5.15), and the help centre adds that bets at odds below 1.10 do not count.
What to do: register in the name on your bank account, bet your deposit at 1.10 or more, and verify before your first big withdrawal.

Withdrawals: limits and timing
- ₦1,000 to ₦1,000,000 per withdrawal, by Paystack, Flutterwave, Interswitch, OPay or bank transfer, all free (LiveScore Bet help: withdrawals). No daily maximum is published.
- Up to 24 hours. The help centre says a withdrawal shows as Pending for up to 24 hours, then arrives at once. The terms say only that LiveScore Bet aims to approve one within 48 hours (5.10).
- Withdrawals cannot be cancelled once requested.
- Check the account number. LiveScore Bet will not repay money sent to wrong bank details you entered (5.11).
If a withdrawal has been pending for more than 24 hours, contact customer care to check it (LiveScore Bet help: withdrawal not received).
Verification
LiveScore Bet accepts a National Identity card or a voter’s card. Email them from the address on your account to idng@livescorebet.com; it aims to check them within 48 hours (LiveScore Bet help: account verification). It can ask for documents at any time to confirm where your money comes from.
You also need a mobile number registered in your own name to sign up. A wrong name on the account can be changed, but only after LiveScore Bet has seen your ID.
Deposits
Card, bank transfer and USSD, from ₦100, with no fee from LiveScore Bet (LiveScore Bet help: deposits). International cards do not work.
If a deposit has not arrived, email proof of payment to helpng@livescorebet.com; LiveScore Bet says it answers within 48 hours (LiveScore Bet help: missing deposit).
Payout caps: what a bet can pay
- ₦60,000,000 a day in net winnings, across all your bets (LiveScore Bet sports rules, A 4.1).
- Lower caps by sport and league, per day and per type of bet. Football in the top European leagues and competitions can pay up to ₦50,000,000. All other football, including the NPFL and AFCON, is capped at ₦8,000,000. Bet Builders are capped at ₦4,000,000.
- An accumulator mixing leagues takes the lowest cap of its selections (terms 11.5).
- Minimum stake: ₦5.
Before a big accumulator with one Nigerian match in it, check the cap. The payout shown on the slip can be higher than what you would be paid.
Void selections, settlement and complaints
- A void selection does not kill your accumulator. It counts at odds of 1.00 (sports rules, A 5.1 and 5.2).
- Bet Builder is different. One void selection voids the whole Bet Builder, and a player who does not start voids it too (LiveScore Bet help: Bet Builder).
- Abandoned or postponed matches are void unless played within 12 hours of the original start.
- The first official result counts. Later changes, such as from a disciplinary hearing, do not (terms 12.1).
- Wrong settlements are corrected by LiveScore Bet without you asking, and a balance can go below zero while a bet is under review.
Complaints go to complaintsNG@livescorebet.com (terms 14.5). The terms send you to a complaints procedure in the help centre that is not there, and they give no deadline. Write as soon as you see a problem, with your username, the bet and screenshots.
Cash out
Cash out is offered on selected singles and multiples, before and during matches, but never on free bets (LiveScore Bet help: cash out). It disappears when the market is suspended, when coverage of the match is lost, when your selection drifts to 100/1 or more, or on a trading decision.
LiveScore Bet’s pages describe only full cash out. While you are wagering the welcome bonus, do not cash out bets placed with your cash balance: LiveScore Bet can cancel them.
LiveScore Bet bonus: what you can withdraw
- Sports welcome offer: 100% of your first deposit up to ₦100,000, plus free spins, from a ₦100 deposit (LiveScore Bet welcome offer).
- The wagering is heavy: 6 times your deposit plus the bonus, on bets at odds of 3.00 or more, within 30 days. Only bets of ₦10,000 or less count. Deposit ₦10,000 and you must bet ₦120,000 at those odds before the bonus is yours.
- Withdraw the deposit early and you lose the bonus.
- Free bets and free spins cannot be withdrawn, and a free bet pays only the winnings, not the stake (LiveScore Bet bonus rules).
- One welcome offer only, and one per person, phone number, IP address and household.
- Acca Boost: from 5% on 5 selections to 1,000% on 50, all at odds of 1.20 or more, paid as real money (LiveScore Bet Acca Boost).
Booking codes
You can book a code without logging in. Build the slip, open the bet slip and press Share: a 5-character code appears under “Bet code”. To load one, press Enter bet code in the bet slip, type it and press Add to betslip.
When I tried it on 3 November 2026, a code loaded the same two selections in another browser. LiveScore Bet’s pages do not say how long a code lasts (how to load a LiveScore Bet booking code).
Virtuals and casino
Virtual League bets can win at most ₦2,500,000 each and ₦5,000,000 a day; casino bets up to ₦50,000,000 each and in a day (LiveScore Bet help: maximum win). The sports rules publish the return to player of the virtual games: 81% to 92% for virtual football.
Drawbacks: what players complain about
Of the 100 Google Play reviews of the LiveScore Bet Nigeria app posted from 20 April to 19 October 2026, 32 gave one or two stars. With so few, I describe them rather than count them in a table.
- Withdrawals: 10 reviews. They include a name mismatch found only at withdrawal, withdrawals blocked, and two accounts disabled after a win or a withdrawal request.
- The app and its updates: 7. Several describe an update loop that kept the app closed for hours. Even some five-star reviews complain about downtime during updates.
- Missing markets and features: 6, such as head-to-head statistics and horse racing.
On 20 October 2026, while I was reading its rules, the Nigerian website showed a maintenance page for most of the day.
What players like
Of the 65 four- and five-star reviews on Google Play, 9 call the app easy to use. LiveScore Bet replied to 96 of the 100 reviews.

Licence
LiveScore Bet’s footer gives Lagos licence number LSLGA/OP/OG/LSB041224. It is on the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority’s register of licensed online betting operators, under the company Visatech Limited (LSLGA register). Its terms still name a permit from the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
If betting stops being fun
LiveScore Bet offers a time-out from 24 hours to 6 weeks, which cannot be shortened once set, and self-exclusion from 6 months to 5 years, through customer care (LiveScore Bet terms, section 9). An excluded account cannot be reopened before the period ends.
You can also ask customer care for a daily, weekly or monthly net loss limit, or to block the casino on your account.

My methodology
This review is not based on my own account. It rests on two things:
- What players wrote. All 100 Google Play reviews of the LiveScore Bet Nigeria app posted from 20 April to 19 October 2026. The counts above are reviews that mention each topic, not a verdict on whether each complaint was fair.
- What LiveScore Bet says. Its Nigerian terms, sports rules, bonus rules, promotion terms and help centre, read on 20 October 2026. Some help-centre articles still carry text from LiveScore’s other countries; I used only what applies to Nigeria.
Rules change. Check the linked page before you rely on one.
