Bet365 Nigeria Registration: Sigh-Up Guide, Welcome Bonus, Problems

The first step in becoming accustomed to the Bet365 online betting site is registration and creating an account. You can register by going to the Nigerian version of the site. After accessing the site, you will see a yellow ‘Join’ button in the top right corner of the screen. This will  redirect you  to  a registration form which you are expected to fill correctly.
You must make sure to fill in every box accurately and up to date. The site will need to verify all of your information  to confirm that you are eligible to place wagers on sports and bet in Nigeria.

Failure to fill in the correct details required in the form could mean that your account will not be created. All you need is to take the step-by-step registration procedure. You will be required to fill in the necessary information and agree to the terms and conditions at the end of registration.
Upon completion of the registration, Bet365 will use the documentation you have provided to verify your information; this includes your social security number(which is your National Identification Number in Nigeria). Unless the website requires additional information you will receive a notification that your account has been authorised.

The registration procedure on Bet365 will be done on a single page that is divided into different parts. One is required to begin by filling in personal information. In this section, you're expected to type in your first name, surname, date of birth, and the last four digits of your National Identification Number(NIN). These are what Bet365 will use to verify your identity.

Nigerian law regarding sports betting states that it is illegal to participate in gambling if you are under the age of 18. This is one of the key points of registration/verification and you will not be allowed to continue registration if you are underage or if you input an incorrect date of birth.

After you have filled in the necessary details, you will see a section which requires you to select your preferred means of receiving  notifications. Below this, a box requiring you to fill in the ‘Bonus Code’  will be encountered.

You can get a bonus code by going to the promotions section on Bet365 and clicking on your preferred promotions.In the information of this offer, you will be issued a bonus code that you can enter in this section on the registration form. After you have typed in this bonus code where necessary, you will automatically have a bonus deposited in your new account.

Upon completion, you will then encounter the ‘Terms & Conditions’ including the legal betting age in Nigeria, limitations to the use of personal information, company discretion to suspend users’ accounts where such users use the platform in an unfair manner, and so on.

What makes the Bet365 platform an exceptional virtual sportsbook is the fact that users have full control and can set things to their taste. Certain adjustments can be made to ensure an enjoyable experience. A few of these adjustments are.

Odds format: In sports betting, there are three major odds formats; American odds, Fractionasl odds and Decimal odd

This form is very easy to understand as odds are represented with positive(+) and negative(-) signs to show the amount one needs to stake to win a $100 or the amount winnable with every $100 stake. It should be noted that the baseline price is $100. American odds are attached to point spreads in most American sports such as the NFL and NBA.

The term “decimal odds” is also popularly referred to as European odds. It’s one of the most common bet odds methodology used by bettors across the globe, but more predominantly in Europe, Australia and Canada. Decimal odds take two seconds to calculate, they are simply your stake multiplied by the odds, which then equals your payout. A simple formula for decimal odds is:

Stake x Odds = Cash Out

They are typically written with a “slash (/)” or a “hyphen (-).” For instance, 6/1 or 6-1 are announced as “six-to-one.” Fractional odds are used by some of the world’s largest bookmakers, making them the most preferred odds across the globe. A fractional listing of 6/1 (six-to-one) odds would mean that you win $6 for every $1 you stake, in addition to receiving your $1 back (i.e., the amount you staked). In other words, this is the ratio of the amount (profit) won to the initial bet, which means that you will receive your stake ($1) in addition to the profit ($6), resulting in a total payout of $7. Therefore, if you stake $10 at 6/1, you get a total payout of $70 ($60 profit + $10 stake).

Setting betting limits(responsible betting): Among the many benefits enjoyed by our subscribers is the ability to curb excess spending and excessive betting.

1. Deposit Limits: Putting our customers’ financial control into consideration, the site is designed to allow bettors to use ‘Deposit Limits’ to manage their spending. These limits can be set for a 24 hour, 7 day, or 30 day period and cannot be reversed. Players even have the chance to reduce their ‘Deposit Limits’ at any time and this will be effected immediately.
2. Reality Checks: Another important feature is the ability to control the time spent on Bet365. One can set up a ‘Reality Check’ alert on one’s profile. If one spends beyond the set time, a pop-up notification will inform you that you have logged-in for the specified period of time.

All of these modifications have been made easily accessible to all users and are guaranteed to be as effective as intended.

At this point, you must have created your Bet365 account, the next thing to do is to fund your betting account. Although the site does not allow playing with Naira, you can still play successfully.

• PLEASE NOTE THAT Bet365 DOES NOT ACCEPT NIGERIAN NAIRA- your deposits will be converted to US DOLLARS.

Although the website has been designed to make users experience optimal satisfaction during use, one may encounter a few problems on the website. A few of these problems are:

1. Filling in the wrong age or date of birth: Remember that on the Bet365 Registration Form, users are expected to be at least 18 years to be allowed to own an account. On certain occasions, users who are actually of age(18+) might experience this same difficulty if there is an error in the date of birth section. This can be solved by filling in the correct age or date of birth.
2. Invalid Social security number(National Identification Number): This field is required to trace and verify prospective subscribers’ nationality and validity. Filling in the wrong digits could affect the registration process.
3. Internet timeout error: This is a very common error on all websites, all internet users experience this problem. The internet timeout error pops up where there is a poor internet connection or the device is taking too long to connect to the Bet365 server. This error could be cleared by refreshing the browser and attempting the registration again.
4. The “Username already exists” error: More often than not, people experience this minor problem during registration. On the Bet365 registration form, one is expected to fill in a new and preferred username. This error message can affect the signup procedure when the selected username has already been used by a different subscriber. To solve this, a new character(number, symbol, or alphabet) could be added to create a unique username.
