Prediction markets in Nigeria
Of the 23 platforms we review, 9 are open to residents of Nigeria, 1 with restrictions and 5 exclude them. For 8 the published terms do not say either way.
Betting is licensed by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and state gaming boards, and investment products are supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Few platforms name Nigeria in their terms either way.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 26 Sept 2026.
