Nigeria Officially Joins List Of Restricted Countries On Betfair by EMIOMOADEOYE: 2:17pm On Apr 04, 2023
I receive a shocking mail from Betfair 4 days ago.

It said Betfair will no longer be offering its products to Nigerians.

I can't lie.......this one is a very big blow to me.

Betfair has been responsible for a significant portion of my income and has been coming in on almost complete autopilot.

I wonder what happened. I won't put it past those theiving Nairabet and Bet9ja bookies.

Boys have been cleaning them out with the aid of Betfair.

Perhaps, someone won millions from Nigeria and they withdrew their services for the company to stand

I don't think so.

Betfair is not a bookie. It's an exchange. If someone won millions, it's not coming from Betfair pocket. It's coming from other punters. On top of that, Betfair gets to take a cut from the winnings. So winning does not affect them in any way.

My guess is, one or more of those bookies finally saw that Betfair was a threat to their profits and moved to cut them out.

Na wa o. I was shocked to log into my betfair account and was informed that I cannot use betfair from a restricted country. This is an account I opened over 10 years ago and have been operating successfully without any problems. I even logged in yesterday.

I use betfair to arbitrage horse and dog racing with bet365. I make a few dollars per day as a source of extra income. Now that income stream is in jeopardy.

I tried logging with windscribe and it went through. I was able to access my account. But I don't know how long that will last. Best to withdraw all cash from my account ASAP.

Na wa o. The walls seems to be closing in on Nigerians from all sides.

I doubt it has to do with someone winning millions. Afterall even if you win billions, it's not betfairs money, they will still collect their commision which is quite exorbitant (that's if it's from the exchange). I suspect its either government regulations or boys have been using the site for scamming.

A betting exchange is just like a crypto exchange. You trade bets instead of cryptos. You can buy and sell bets according to the odds you want. You then pay commision on winnings to the exchange.

You might need to withdraw your funds fast. From what I read, all accounts created from Nigeria will be deleted.

It's becoming a curse to be a Nigerian.

I hope betfair release a statement on the reason Nigeria Have been included in the list of restricted countries for the first time in its history. I really suspect the APC administration. Their mission is to choke Nigerians to death or submission with one useless policy or another. From banning twitter, to banning rice, to banning crypto to even banning the Naira. I won't be surprised if they were the one that threatened betfair as more Nigerians are learning that the local bookmakers are ripping us off.

There are some ways around it.

Get someone you know who lives there to setup an account in their name for you.

Or we go the underground way....register yourself, with generated kyc docs and hope and pray the system does not notice you.

Yes. Yes there are other betting exchanges, but no one comes close in terms of liquidity to betfair. Betfair is the pioneer. It will be difficult to get your bets matched at a good odd.
Also most don't allow Nigerians on their exchanges.

Trading successfully on betfair or any exchange is highly technical. You have to learn a lot,not only about financial markets but also the sports you are trading in and the rules governing that particular market. I lots the first $500 I put in betfair when I registered 12 years ago. It's after lots of study and trial and error that I was able to fund a winning formula. I was even banned on bet365 for winning consistently once, thar I had to register another account.

888sport is also another bookie you can check.

But with Betfair gone, there is very little to be done.
