NaijaBet Nigeria app for Android
The NaijaBet app is a free Android APK that brings the full Nigerian sportsbook and casino to your phone. Deposit from 100 NGN via OPay or PalmPay, bet on football, NPFL and the Super Eagles, and play Aviator crash games or Evolution live tables — all without opening a browser. The app runs on Android 5.0 and above and weighs approximately 25 MB, so it installs quickly even on slower connections in Kano or Enugu.
App specifications and requirements
Before downloading, check that your device meets the minimum requirements. The app does not appear on Google Play because the NLRC-licensed Nigerian gambling apps are distributed outside the Play Store — this is normal for bookmakers operating in Nigeria. You must enable "Install from unknown sources" in your Android settings once, and from that point all future updates install the same way. iOS users are not excluded: the NaijaBet mobile website behaves like a native app when loaded in Safari on iPhone, with the same betting markets and deposit options, just without a dedicated APK.
How to download and install the NaijaBet APK
The installation takes about 2 minutes on any Android phone with a stable connection. The process below applies to all major Nigerian Android devices — Tecno, Infinix, Itel and Samsung are all compatible. Compared to registering through a desktop browser, the mobile APK route is faster because the app pre-fills your device details automatically.
Go to Settings, then Security or Privacy, and enable "Install from unknown sources" or "Allow installs from this source" depending on your Android version.
Open naijabet.net.ng in your browser, find the App page and tap the APK download button. The file is approximately 25 MB and downloads in under a minute on 4G.
Open the downloaded file from your notifications or file manager. Tap "Install" and wait about 10 seconds for the process to complete.
Open the NaijaBet app, enter your phone number and password to log in, or tap Register to create a new account in under 5 minutes.
Sports betting in the NaijaBet app
The sportsbook inside the app covers over 30 sports, with football accounting for the largest share of bets placed by Nigerian users. The NPFL, English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, AFCON qualifiers and La Liga all have deep market coverage including 1X2, BTTS, Asian handicaps, correct score, first goalscorer and accumulators up to 20 selections. Accumulator odds are significantly higher than single-match 1X2 lines, which is why they remain popular among punters in Lagos and Port Harcourt despite the added risk.
Live betting updates odds in real time during matches, and the cashout feature is available on selected events while play is still in progress. This is unavailable on pre-match settled markets. The bet builder lets you combine multiple markets within the same fixture. On a decent 4G connection the app loads live odds faster than the mobile browser version — typically under 2 seconds per page refresh.

Casino and crash games on the NaijaBet app
The casino section of the NaijaBet app includes crash games, slots and live dealer tables. Aviator by Spribe runs at 97% RTP and each round lasts under 30 seconds, making it the most played crash game among Nigerian mobile users. Spribe certifies Aviator's fairness through a provably fair algorithm, so every round outcome can be verified in-app. Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play (96.5% RTP) and Fortune Tiger by PG Soft (96.81% RTP) are the two slots that see the highest session lengths in Nigeria, both featuring high volatility with potential multipliers above 5,000x.
Evolution's live tables stream in HD around the clock. Lightning Roulette at 97.3% RTP and Infinite Blackjack at 99.5% are available directly in the app without switching to a browser. Live games are not available offline — they require a stable internet connection, which is not a restriction unique to NaijaBet but applies to all live casino products industry-wide.

Bonuses available through the NaijaBet app
The same welcome bonus and ongoing promotions available on the desktop site apply when you register or deposit through the Android app. There is no separate mobile-only bonus — any active offer on the platform is accessible from the app. The welcome offer is valid for 7 days after registration, and wagering requirements apply before bonus funds convert to withdrawable cash. Check the Bonuses page for current terms because promotional periods and multipliers are updated regularly by the operator.
OPay and PalmPay deposits made through the app clear in 2 to 4 hours, which means your bonus funds become active faster than with bank transfer, which can take up to 24 hours. A 100 NGN minimum deposit qualifies for standard promotions, while some reload bonuses require a higher amount — confirm the exact threshold on the bonus terms page before depositing.
