In a move that signals growing confidence in the profitability of Nigeria’s iGaming sector, GinjaBet has officially launched its operations, entering one of Africa’s fastest‑growing online betting markets with an audacious value proposition.
The platform is fully licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority, the key regulatory body for sports betting in Nigeria.
GinjaBet’s market entry is fostered by a strategic collaboration with UpGaming, a global leader in B2B iGaming technology solutions. This partnership brings to the Nigerian market a robust back-end infrastructure known for its security, reliability, and modular innovation.
As of today, UpGaming operates sportsbooks and casinos across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Its footprint in Nigeria via GinjaBet adds another notable node to its global network.
