Bro, running a football betting site is a very huge investment both in cash, people, deep research and time. Hiring an excellent developer or team of web developers that will develop the web application for you will cost you millions (You can see a 10k developer that will use wordpress to fix up anything and you will still fail), and if you can afford that then you need to rent an office space where you will hire a team of staff which entails a web designer, a web developer, a graphics designer, customer support team, a football analyst, a financial manager and an information architect. All these people and more must be employed to enable you run the business. Also you need to have alot of millions in your companies account to be able to pay first 1000 people assuming you lost to all bets. Finally you will have to invest huge on social media marketing, billboard marketing, TV adverts, radio adverts and similar mediums. These are some of my suggestions but you will have to research deeply before you go into the business if eventually you are financially capable. Goodluck

Thanks so much for youradvice my dear. from what i have also read online not all that started did with millions like you pointed out. but i gained something with what you said and thanks so much.
please will be happy if others can also help me out here.

you dont need to build the site from scratch or hire and web developer. just get a good sportbook software provider and you are good to go. read my other post and the previous post you commented.

well existing applications already built can be used in runing a beting website like nairabet runs on software already by web developers but building 4rm skratch requires many work n money like saharabet.com waz built by a nairalander.. If u need an aplication to start imediately u must have money 2 run d biznes.. Check out www. Betdigits . Com

so how do i get existing applications please?
also other things i need to have and the cost of opening a betting company especially cost of the website/hosting etc.

don't mind them. you hahahhahahha really really and really do have whats on me mind.
I think private hosting can and can surely do then buy script and may be and i say may be set aside 100k for it and your good i mean your surely good to go. The bookmakers or makers we have today started small and improved.
but do not do as you cannot carry.

bro thank you a lot. i got more than your budget as you said here. others pls contibute naa

i also have that same dream but capital is not smiling at me right now

from my research, what you need are
1. good Sportbook software provider (i have contacted some in the past)
2. unique brand name
3. government license
4. attractive office space
5. very good marketing directors.
99. huge capital
100. perseverance/patience

but now that the market is becoming saturated with new bookies springing up every month, my advice is.............

think you will start business then apply for government license. nairabet of all the years got his last year as the information i have. thanks for other contributions.

oh, is that the way you want to run yours ?

but what i know is that the Lottery Board does not have provisional Licence for online gaming until last year and that was when Nairabet registered.

in case you dont know, early this year, about 7 bookies were 'bursted' by the ministry.

i have been in the betting business for long and i know what it entails. Right now, the market is moving to the street, online still sells but the street sells more. i dont know what your capital is like but my advice is:

1. divide your capital into 2 (10million divided by 2= 5 million)
2. locate extremely populated areas and rent shops there. 5 million should be able to rent and furnish at least 12 betting shops to taste.
3. sign up with a bookie, work as an agent for at least 6 months. this is to enable you gain the necessary experience and customer base.
4. after you must have been satisfied with your weekly sales and returns, get a sportbook software provider to launch yours. please forget about buying scripts and hiring developer, it is a big headache.
5. dont forget to get your license o, i dont like illegal business.

i hope you understand why you should get like 10 shops before starting yours. EXPERIENCE AND CUSTOMERS.

your an agent of a bookie i guess.
if i want to be an agent i wouldnt open this thread. a business must start and run for some time before the owner can go and get license.
all your saying 10mil and 5 million is not how all these over 18 bettings sites in nigeria started. stop scaring someone pls. i already have been into betting for years now and already have a good and standard office. opening another is not an issue but 200k is very ok to start on a low key and then as things progress i improve.

lol i thought you are really serious about owning a betting company. lol
200k? i cant stop laughing.

having betting experience is different from having "The Betting Business Experience"

why do you want to run a business without licence? Potential Agents and Stakers will avoid you. including me.

i advice you close the thread and re-open when you are ready for business.

you want to run a betting site with 200k? get serious pls

by the way
i am not an agent
i am an operator. (a super-agent)

lets get this sorted.
business is already registered with coperate affairs commision last week.
getting license from the government for the betting is whats remaining and you have to open and run for some time before having the license.
please for crying out loud i have some bookies who do not even have CAC registration not to talk of license and they are operating and doing well.
can you google '' nigeria betting sites'' and see what am saying. contact the owners of any site you get.
sto scaring someone your approach is so bad.

thank you and other of your contributions are welcome.
which good script is best to use.
you can help me please i mean a low script for now.

just like i said, dont use scripts or hire developers. the headache is too much.
use a good sportbook software provider

ok sir.
where do i get it?

the good ones are expensive thats why i said you can not run a sport betting business with 200k.
how will you settle won bet?

like i told you, i will start small and to improve will set number of allowed bets and then try to see how i will be able to balance the earnings and losses. i will not accept the much i cannot carry. so tell me the price of what your saying and how to get it.
