Every site in the Bettings.ng Table has a score out of 10 on up to six criteria, and an overall score that is their weighted average. Odds and payout speed carry the most weight because they affect every bet you place and every withdrawal you make; a welcome bonus is used once.
The six criteria and their weights
- 20%
Odds and market range
An editorial assessment of the sportsbook as the operator describes it: the sports and leagues it prices, the events it lists, and the bet types and markets on an event. For the price itself, compare the same market at the same time.
- 20%
Payout speed
An editorial assessment of withdrawals as the operator publishes them: routes, limits, stated payout times and conditions. Where its Nigerian pages give no payout time, the one on its international site is used and labelled as such.
- 15%
Bonuses and terms
The size of the welcome offer weighed against wagering, minimum odds and time limits.
- 15%
Mobile experience
An editorial view of using the site on a phone: the mobile site, plus Android and iPhone apps where the operator offers them.
- 15%
Markets, live betting and games
Depth of markets, in-play coverage, cash out and streaming, and the range of casino games.
- 15%
Payments for Nigerian players
What the operator publishes about paying in and out. Naira routes and local methods count most, then coins, minimums and limits. Where the naira cashier is not public, the score rests on what the operator does state on its Nigerian or international site, such as coins, minimums and payout rules.
Payments are scored on what the operator publishes for a player in Nigeria. Published naira routes and local methods count most. A site that shows its naira cashier only after registration is scored on what it does publish: its minimums, limits and payout terms.
How the overall score is worked out
Each sub-score is multiplied by its weight, the results are added up, and the total is divided by the sum of the weights that apply. For a site scored on all six criteria that sum is 100.
Worked example
A site scored on all six criteria
- Sub-scores
- Odds 9.2, Payouts 8.4, Bonus 7.5, Mobile 8.0, Markets 8.8, Payments 7.9
- Sub-scores × weights
- 9.2 × 20 + 8.4 × 20 + 7.5 × 15 + 8.0 × 15 + 8.8 × 15 + 7.9 × 15
- Divided by
- 100
- Overall score
- 8.35, shown as 8.4
With these sub-scores the overall score is 8.4 out of 10.
A site without a sportsbook has no odds score. Its overall score is the weighted average of the criteria that remain, so it is neither marked up nor marked down for a product it does not offer.
Worked example
The same site without a sportsbook
- Sub-scores
- Payouts 8.4, Bonus 7.5, Mobile 8.0, Markets 8.8, Payments 7.9
- Sub-scores × weights
- 8.4 × 20 + 7.5 × 15 + 8.0 × 15 + 8.8 × 15 + 7.9 × 15
- Divided by
- 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 80
- Overall score
- 8.14, shown as 8.1
Without the odds score, the overall score is 8.1 out of 10, worked out over the criteria that apply.
The overall score is calculated from the sub-scores every time the table is published. It is never entered by hand.
Where the scores come from
The sub-scores are Bettings.ng’s editorial assessment, formed from what each operator publishes on its own site. That covers the welcome offer and its terms, the minimum deposit, the payment methods, the stated payout time, its products, its apps and the licence it names.
A score rests on what the operator publishes for Nigeria. Where its Nigerian pages do not carry a detail, or it runs no separate Nigerian site, its international site is used. The review says which site the detail comes from.
Commercial facts are checked separately against the sources linked in the review or in a list’s source note; account availability can differ.
Check before you deposit
Operators change offers and terms. The figure on the operator’s own site on the day you register is the one that applies.
How the order of the table is set
The Bettings.ng Table is not a list of every betting site. It lists sites that Bettings.ng has a commercial arrangement with, and their order is set by Bettings.ng.
DisclosureBettings.ng is paid commission by the sites in its table. Commission affects which sites are included and can affect the order they appear in. The scores themselves are Bettings.ng’s editorial assessment against the criteria set out here.
The figures an operator publishes are shown as it states them, whatever the commercial arrangement. More on how Bettings.ng is paid is in the advertiser disclosure.
Publication, updates and source checks
A page’s publication date stays with its first release. Its update date changes when its content changes. A source-check notice has a separate date, states what was checked and links to the source or to the reviews that name the sources. A page update alone does not mean an operator’s offer, cashier or licence was rechecked.
Details to compare with the operator’s terms
- Welcome offer: amount, wagering, minimum odds and expiry
- Minimum deposit and payment methods, naira and crypto
- Payout time stated by the operator
- Products, apps and the licence the site names
What a score cannot tell you
A score is an editorial opinion formed using the criteria and information described in the review. It cannot predict an individual account outcome or a winning bet.

What a source check establishes
The separate source-check date covers only the named documents and fields. Regulator entries are distinguished from operator-stated licences. Global offers keep their published currency and are not assumed to be Nigerian entitlements. Missing payment and promotion details stay unknown rather than being labelled unavailable.
