For football-focused Nigeria, the confirmation that one of the leading sports betting brands 1xBet has been granted a full National Licence in the country until 2024 is a major coup for players, operators and Nigerian sports clubs alike.

1xBet’s expansion plans across Africa have reached a fever pitch as the company prepares to bolster its position in Nigeria with a new license, new partnerships and an aim to “set new standards of betting culture” on the continent, according to the 1xBet team.

“We are well aware of Nigeria’s position as a renowned football-focused market,” they said.   “In 2018 we signed a partnership agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation, the Nigeria national football team, as well as the Nigerian Premier League.   In addition, we are official partners of the African Confederation of Football and the largest club tournaments of the continent. We have accumulated considerable experience while working with top football clubs such as Barcelona. Therefore, we not only offer Nigerian fans a wide range of betting options, but also a sense of involvement in the victories of their favorite teams. Football fans can be sure of 1xBet, where they always have a winning chance alongside their favorite clubs.”

As one of the leading operators now licensed in the country, 1xBet is keen to showcase how it will offer the Nigerian sports fans one of the widest lines of sports betting as well as odds on the world of cinema, music, politics and other areas of life. Commenting on how this new license will allow the brand to work more with local partners, the 1xBet team explained: “1xBet has decided to establish ourselves in Africa as we feel we have something valuable to offer the African betting market including players and affiliates. With over 1000 events offered daily across more than 60 sports, the 1xBet experience is an exciting world of betting enjoyment. We also have a great selection of online games. All this means that everyone can find viable options to make money.   We want to give everyone who is legally able to place bets access to earning potential and look forward to finding interesting new partners in Nigeria with like-minded goals.”

The newly acquired National Licence by 1xBet has positioned the brand to legitimately operate in any part of the country, including in all the states and local government areas, broadening the company’s footprint across Africa. “In addition to Nigeria, on the African continent, we work in Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, DR Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, and Burundi. We have big plans for the region and consider Africa a very promising continent, where the number of fans of betting in general, and our company in particular, is constantly growing.”

Following headlines about betting on the continent in 2019, there is a renewed focus on responsible gaming across Africa, something which 1xBet is keen to drive forward with its unique position as one of the only full National Licence holders in Nigeria. “1xBet is a supporter of responsible betting,” the 1xBet team continued.   “We comply with the laws of each country in which we operate. Given that our license to work in Nigeria is valid until 2024, in the next five years we want to set new standards of betting culture. We will teach fans that with 1xBet they play according to simple and understandable rules that must be observed.

“In addition to the financial regulatory body’s transaction limit in Nigeria, and our concerted efforts to drastically reduce gaming addiction, we have also implemented a spending limit on our platform to further promote responsible gaming. Also, we ensure regular 1xBet attendance at various seminars of the regulatory authorities on responsible gaming.”

1xBet will be commencing its meetings with regulators and operators from Nigeria and other African countries at ICE London 2020, where the 1xBet team will be attending a dedicated ICE Africa networking breakfast as well as exhibiting on the show floor and delivering its expansion strategy in full.   “We have a strong presence in many countries spread over continents around the world, so there will be a lot to showcase at ICE London,” they said. In regards to Nigeria, we will be using our position as a National Licence holder to highlight the fact that we are a fully compliant brand in the sports betting industry.”

The 1xBet team concluded:  “Our intention at ICE London 2020 is to promote 1xBet as an operator who brings their same level of established excellence to Nigeria as well as other African countries. We will also promote 1xBet’s wide range of betting options to the African market and beyond whilst sharing our vision for 2020 and what exciting upcoming events and industry related news we have to offer. The thrust of our message will be that by joining 1xBet you will always be riding the crest of a wave.”

The full 1xBet team will showcase its high odds, video streaming, in-house affiliate platform and portfolio of bonuses, live casino, branded slot games and more from Stand S3-250 at ICE London, ExCeL London, UK in February.

Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.

Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.

The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.

The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.

Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes™ Wand of Riches 2™, Rumble Riches™ Haulin’ Gold™ and Firecracker Frenzy™ Money Toad™, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots™ Captain’s Catch™ and Charming Lady’s Boom™.

David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.

“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”

Spinomenal has released 3 Fuego Chillies, a new 5×3 video slot themed around a Mexican street fiesta. The game ships with a feature-led Bonus Game and a top prize billed as a Grand Jackpot of x3,000 the total bet.

The Wild is a mariachi in a sombrero and substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus, BOOST, COLLECT, MULTI and Jackpot symbols. Spinomenal said five Wilds on a payline return x10 the bet, with four paying x2 and three paying x0.5, while three- and four-Wild combinations only pay when followed by a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol.

Six or more Bonus and Special Bonus symbols trigger the Bonus Game. Triggering symbols lock in place and the feature starts with three bonus spins; only Bonus and Special Bonus symbols can land, carrying prizes from x1 to x10 the total bet, and each new symbol resets the spin counter back to three.

During the feature, BOOST assigns a random value (x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10) and adds it to every symbol on the reels, while MULTI applies a x2, x3 or x5 multiplier to all symbols before taking a value based on the chosen multiplier. COLLECT then totals the values of all Bonus symbols into a single prize, and a MYSTERY symbol can transform into a BOOST, MULTI, COLLECT or Jackpot symbol.

Jackpot symbols during the feature pay Mini (x20), Minor (x50) or Major (x150), while filling all 15 cells awards the Grand Jackpot of x3,000 the total bet. Spinomenal also said a Bonus Blast Feature can trigger at random in the base game to spread extra symbols toward the Bonus Game, and the title includes a Buy Feature for instant entry. Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Fuego Chillies brings the fun of the fiesta straight to the reels. The three chilli features keep the Bonus Game sizzling and the x3,000 Grand Jackpot gives players plenty to celebrate. We think this one will go down a treat with slot fans everywhere.”

The new Promotional Markets add substitution-enabled player props designed to transfer bets to replacement players during a match.

Sporting Risk has expanded its Promotional Markets suite with a new set of SureSub player prop markets, distributed via the Sportradar Unified Odds Feed.

The company said SureSub is designed to extend eligible player prop bets beyond substitutions by automatically transferring selections to the replacement player. Sporting Risk added that operators can customise the feature, including its branding and name, to fit their sportsbook UX.

Sporting Risk positioned the release as part of its wider Promotional Markets portfolio, which it said includes products such as 2Up and other enhanced settlement mechanics aimed at helping operators differentiate without relying on bonuses, free bets or price-led promotions.

Andy Phillips, Chief Business Development Officer at Sporting Risk, said: “Operators are constantly looking for new ways to stand out in increasingly competitive markets. Promotional Markets do exactly that. They give operators a differentiated betting experience that keeps customers engaged throughout the match, without relying on bonuses or free bet campaigns. SureSub is a natural addition to that portfolio. It’s a mechanic customers already understand, but we’ve expanded it across a much broader range of player prop markets. Combined with our distribution through Sportradar, operators can now roll out SureSub at a scale that simply hasn’t been possible before.”

Sporting Risk said the product can be delivered directly or through the Sportradar Unified Odds Feed, with deployment designed to work across existing sportsbook infrastructure and scale across multiple competitions and leagues.
