Choosing a good online bookmaker is one of the most important steps when you want to start betting for real money online. In Nigeria, a handful of online bookmakers are licensed and offer their legal betting services.

It’s also crucial for you to use your own personal information and make sure that everything you enter when creating an account is correct and truthful. Casinos always check the identity of players when they want to make their first withdrawal (at latest), so you won’t be able to withdraw money from a casino if you use incorrect details.

Although betting bonuses are tempting as they give you more money to play with, they are not always the best choice. There are always rules you have to follow when playing with bonus money, which can be quite restrictive and often make it very difficult to actually withdraw money after taking a bonus.

The payment methods (bank accounts, cards, internet wallets) you use to deposit money into your casino account should be yours and held in your own name. Using someone else’s card, bank account, or wallet can lead to a permanent account closure and can be used as a reason for not paying out winnings.
