22Bet Nigeria Review (2023)

The list of sites where sportsbooks are joined by an online casino is growing all the time, with 22Bet an option that is well worth considering.

With plus points such as 24/7 customer service and the ability to play in Naira, 22Bet is likely to be a very popular option.

A range of gambling games are available at 22Bet as well as the sportsbook, so there are a lot of options to try out for those who decide to sign up for an account here.

Check out our complete review of 22Bet for everything you need to know about the operator.

A Brief History

As 22Bet has been around for quite a while, most potential customers have probably heard of the betting brand and know a little about its history.

Since 22Bet was launched, it has enjoyed a growing reputation across the industry for factors such as good odds on the sportsbook, plenty of choice of casino games and a solid design.

Indeed, 22Bet claims to provide "all that modern betting has to offer" and it is hard to argue with that assessment of the company.

It is quick and easy to sign up and start playing at 22Bet, with new users also able to make the most of a quite generous welcome bonus when they create an account on the site.

Excellent payment and banking options are offered as well, which is more good news for people who are considering signing up to play at 22Bet.

But what type of products will they be able to use with their new 22Bet account?

22Bet Products

Most betting brands have a diverse array of products these days, with 22Bet no different. Here are the top gambling options that are available for 22Bet account holders right now:

• Sports
• Casino
• Live casino

The next part of our complete 22Bet review will go into detail about each section of the site, so keep reading for all the details.

Sports Review

The sportsbook is still the main part of the 22Bet site, despite the other products that have since been added by the company as well. Users will be able to bet on more than 20 different sports at 22Bet, including esoteric options such as air hockey, trotting, ski jumping, biathlon and floorball.

Football, tennis and cricket are three of the top sports at 22Bet, with a vast array of markets offered for each of them. Those who want to bet on primarily US sports such as basketball are also covered to a decent degree as well, while both horse racing and greyhounds are also popular. For racing, ante-post bets are offered to provide markets ahead of big races.

In football, most major matches have a massive number of markets at 22Bet. Indeed, some European games in competitions such as the Champions League and the Europa League have more than 1,500 different bets, which is a phenomenal amount of choice for account holders.

Live betting is very detailed too, with a similar amount of choice once the action has got underway. It is fair to say the 22Bet sportsbook is about as deep as any other around. A dedicated live betting section makes it easy to find the top wagers for all the live-action.

Many people have developed an interest in esports betting of late and this is an area where 22Bet is looking to push ahead of its rivals in the field. Esports betting has its own page on the site, with games such as CS:GO, Dota 2 and League of Legends available to bet on. Even Valorant, which has not been out for long, has esports markets available on the 22Bet site.

On a similar note, virtual sports are seeing a spike in popularity at betting sites these days too. Virtuals can be a good option when there are no live or upcoming big sporting events to bet on. At 22Bet, there are a handful of virtual sports options, which will be more than enough for most.

Mobile betting is an area where the 22Bet sportsbook perhaps could be improved. The mobile site is not as fast as it could be and the 22Bet betting app is not the best either. That said, they both do the job that they need to do reasonably well and are unlikely to cause issues for players.

A lack of live streaming is also notable, with some of the top betting sites making sure that their users can follow top sporting events from around the world through their account. It is fair to say 22Bet will need to add live streaming in the future if the site is to truly join the elite.

One of the best things to point out about the 22Bet sportsbook is the massive number of languages in which the site is available. English is the default and most 22Bet users will probably be happy to stick with that.

Promotions such as reload Fridays on the 22Bet sportsbook add to the long list of reasons to sign up for an account on this site.

Casino Review

While the 22Bet sportsbook will be the main section of site of interest to most players, the presence of an online casino is interesting.

Games from a large array of operators can be played at the 22Bet casino. This is unlike some other sites that are tied to one provider, meaning games from elsewhere are not available.

Slots are likely to be the most popular type of game to play at 22Bet's online casino, with leading options to select including Reactoonz 2, Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead and Monster Thieves.

Players who like to test out fresh options at the online casino can make the most of the new games page at the 22Bet casino, with additions made to the library on a regular basis.

Jackpot slots like Crystal Sun, The Moneymania and Secrets of the Temple are good choices for those 22Bet customers hoping for a big win from a single spin of the reels at this casino. A search function is also available for those 22Bet players seeking a particular game to play.

Even more slots are in the games section of the 22Bet site, while card games like poker and baccarat have a few different variations to try out here as well. Users can also find scratchcards in the 22Bet casino, which even has a game based on rock, paper, scissors.

The 22Bet casino has a lot of plus points, though it can sometimes be quite slow to load. This is likely to be frustrating for players who want to find a game to play on the site quickly.

Live Casino

Live casinos are a hot trend in the industry, with 22Bet even offering the chance to try out some of its live dealer games for free. This is likely to tempt a lot of users to give them a go.

At the 22Bet casino, players can pick from live casino games such as roulette and blackjack, but in truth, the layout of this section of the site could do with some work. At first glance, it is not entirely clear which games feature live dealers and which are regular online casino games.

Most online casinos nowadays have a separate section for their live casino, but this is not currently the case at 22Bet, which makes the site harder to navigate than it needs to be.

As long as you can find them, the live dealer games at 22Bet are pretty good, with a solid range of stakes offered. This means newcomers will be happy to try them out at low stakes with minimal risk, but experienced live casino game players can bet more if they want to do so.

A live lotto is something a bit different on 22Bet compared to most of the other live casino games out there on the market, while there are also bingo games available on the site too.

Security and Regulation

The 22Bet sportsbook and online casino is fully regulated, with a license from the government of Curacao, but importantly for Nigerians, also licensed by the Oyo State Gaming Board and Anambra State Gaming Company.

Owned by Marikit Holdings Ltd Casino, 22Bet has clearly put a lot of work into its security policies with encrypted, state of the art software used to protect customer data.

While 22Bet's own website claims that it is "a reliable and safe place where you can always have fun and keep yourself entertained", little firm detail on its security protection has actually been provided by the operator. Neither is it clear if or how games on 22Bet are tested to make sure they pay fairly.

What this means is players who have particular worries over the security of online casinos and sportsbooks may find that 22Bet does not do quite enough to allay their concerns.
