The first two options include typical methods such as Mastercard and VISA as well as transactions via Zenith Bank. In comparison to other bookmakers, this is a rather small selection of depositing methods, but it covers the three main options (i.e. credit card, bank transfer & e-wallet).

The minimum deposit limit is ₦100 for all three options. Promotion codes can be used when making a deposit. The signup bonus for making your first deposit at NetBet Nigeria is a 100% top up on your first payment up to ₦100.000.

Is the NetBet website easy to use?

Navigating through NetBet is quite easy as the design of the design of the sportsbook is very user friendly. This is true for the desktop version as well as for the NetBet app. In the app you can select different kinds of sports by swiping through the main navigation bar at the top of your screen right below the header which inlcudes links to the main menu, to your account information and to depositing. In the desktop version, a list of different sports is provided on the left hand side. The color scheme of the sportsbook is very easy on the eye and the way the site is set up in general facilitates the betting process quite significantly.

The most popular sports competitions such as the Premier League, La Liga or grand slam tournaments in tennis are listed at the top. A search bar is provided for users who are looking for something slightly more specific. You can always keep track of your active wagers on your bet slip and you can analyse your performance in your betting history. Overall, NetBet leaves nothing to be desired in terms of usability.

Which betting options are available at Netbet?

At the time of our test, NetBet was offering 35 different sports with betting markets. As usual, the bookie's focus lies on soccer with over 800 different events available. Tennis and basketball are also highly popular at NetBet with a combined total of about 400 events offered at the time we tested the bookie. In terms of variation across sports, NetBet certainly provides great width. Fans of fringe sports such as floorball, Gaelic football, hurling etc. will find plenty events to bet on. Interestingly, NetBet also appears to cater to up-and-coming sports such as e-sports and MMA. Especially the e-sports segment seems to be on the rise, with a total of over 150 events offered in March 2019. Now that we have established that the NetBet sportsbook offers great width, let's see if the bookie can maintain the high standards when it comes to the depth of the offer.

For the average Premier League game, NetBet offers between 100 to 150 different betting markets. These range from typical options such as three-way, over/under and scorecast to special bets such as team X to miss a penalty or own goal (yes/no). What we didn't find however, are betting markets for goal scorer bets or any player related betting markets. In comparison to other bookmakers, this is an absolutely adequate range of options. NetBet also offers in-play bets for all sorts of different sports and events. In our test, we found live betting events in soccer, tennis, rugby league, table tennis, Aussie rules football and plenty more. So there is definitely no shortage of in-play action. As far as the betting options on the bet slip are concerned, NetBet offers the fundamental single, combo (accumulator) and system bet options. As for the system options, Yankee and Lucky bets are available. If you want to polish up your betting skills, we highly recommend checking out our best betting strategies section.

Overall, the NetBet sportsbook and in-play section offer a broad variety of betting options, which are by no means overwhelming. Users can quickly navigate through the various sports, competitions and betting markets, and the betting slip provides a good overview of the various single, accumulator and system options available.
