BetKing is thrilled to announce the official launch of JJ BallX, an exclusive, culturally localized street football-themed crash casino game in partnership with the legendary Nigerian football icon, Jay Jay Okocha. The unveiling took place at a press conference held on the 6th of May 2025 at BetKing’s Astroturf and was marked by a significant announcement; a Guinness World Record attempt for the most people keeping a football in the air, with 2000 participants, anchored by Jay Jay Okocha.


JJ BallX delivers a unique street football experience, immersing players in a game environment designed to reflect the everyday Nigerian football culture. With reskinned visuals inspired by local street scenes and a central character, “JJ,” modeled after Okocha himself, the game offers fans an entertaining and relatable adventure that goes beyond the screen.
To celebrate the launch, BetKing is rolling out an exciting ₦5,000,000 promo campaign running from May 6 to June 6, 2025. Fifty lucky players will each win ₦100,000 cashback simply by staking a minimum of ₦5,000 cumulatively on JJ BallX within the promo period. Winners will be chosen at random, and terms and conditions apply.

Jay-Jay Okocha, the face of JJ BallX and a revered football icon, expressed his excitement about the upcoming record attempt and the game itself, saying,

"JJ BallX is a celebration of the vibrancy and talent inherent in street football, something that is very close to my heart. By attempting this record, we hope to bring together thousands of people, uniting in our shared passion for the beautiful game and creating a memorable moment in football history."

Everywhere you look now from Pitch-side advertising boards, Jersey, programs are sponsored by these betting companies. I see our celebrities like Sabinus, Okocha, Martins etc promoting this evil. Its more likely they don't bet but they're promoting it to you.

Betting has ruined sports, some can't watch it without betting. Even the players themselves are not spared, there were cases against Sturridge in the past and recently Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali who just came back from a ban. So you see upon their higher wages they're still addicted to betting. Also the English FA are investigating West Ham's Midfielder Lucas Paqueta, you know why? Many people from Paqueta Island (where Lucas grew up) were consistently placing bets on Lucas (maybe to get a yellow card) and were winning these bets.

You see the betting companies don't want you to win, my guess is they reported these betting patterns on Lucas to the English FA.

I wish there were better things JJ could do than to be an ambassador for betting companies. I understand he has to make money but I wish that his influence could have been used for other things than betting.
