Nigeria’s latest sports betting brand, Betcamp, has officially unveiled Nigerian football legend, Samson Siasia, and renowned broadcaster, Guinness World Record holder and media personality, Mighty George, as brand ambassadors.

The unveiling ceremony was held at the company’s Abuja headquarters and marks another major milestone for the fast-rising sports betting platform, which officially went live on May 25, 2026.

The appointments reflect Betcamp’s commitment to partnering with personalities who embody excellence, credibility, resilience and innovation, while strengthening its connection with sports fans and entertainment audiences across Nigeria.

Samson Siasia remains one of the most accomplished figures in Nigerian football history. As a player, he was part of Nigeria’s historic 1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad and represented the country at its first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance in the US.

He later distinguished himself as a coach, leading Nigeria’s Flying Eagles to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Final in 2005, winning Olympic Silver in Beijing 2008 and Olympic Bronze in Rio 2016.

Mighty George is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated broadcast personalities. A multiple award-winning journalist and presenter, he is the current Guinness World Record holder for the Longest Talk Show and the penultimate recipient of the Nigerian Presenter of the Year Award. Through his work in broadcasting, live events and sports media, he has built a reputation as one of the country’s most engaging and influential media figures.

As part of the partnership, Mighty George will serve as the official host of “Inside The Camp,” a new podcast powered by Betcamp. The platform will feature engaging conversations with sports icons, entertainers, business leaders and influential personalities, offering audiences unique insights into their lives, careers and experiences.

Speaking after the unveiling, Siasia expressed his excitement at joining the Betcamp family.

“I am excited about this journey and look forward to the growth and success of the brand. I have had the opportunity to closely observe the vision and commitment of the people behind Betcamp, and I can confidently say this is a brand built on integrity, professionalism and innovation. I am proud to be associated with a platform that is committed to serving sports fans and punters across Nigeria.”

Mighty George also expressed delight at the endorsement and the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the brand.

“I am truly excited to be joining Betcamp at such an important stage of its journey. From my interactions with the team, it is clear that this is a brand driven by innovation, integrity and a genuine passion for sports. I am honoured by the confidence reposed in me and look forward to helping build meaningful connections with sports fans across Nigeria while creating engaging and impactful conversations through Inside The Camp.”

Speaking on behalf of the company, Betcamp Lead Strategist, Mr. Ifiok Albert, described the appointments as a significant step in the company’s growth strategy.

“We are delighted to welcome Samson Siasia and Mighty George to the Betcamp family as Brand Ambassadors. Both individuals represent values that align perfectly with our brand — resilience, excellence, discipline, commitment, professionalism and consistency. Their achievements in their respective fields have earned them credibility and respect, making them ideal partners as we continue to build a trusted and innovative sports betting platform.”

He added that the company remains committed to delivering premium sports betting experiences powered by innovation, transparency and customer satisfaction.

Since officially going live on May 25, 2026, Betcamp has continued to establish its presence within Nigeria’s sports ecosystem through a series of fan engagement initiatives and strategic activations. The brand recently hosted a successful football viewing experience in Abuja on May 30 and is set to continue its nationwide engagement drive with activations across key cities.

As part of its expansion plans, Betcamp will also host a major launch event at its Uyo office this month, bringing together sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, partners and members of the public for a celebration of sports, entertainment and innovation.

With the unveiling of Samson Siasia and Mighty George as Brand Ambassadors, alongside the launch of Inside The Camp, Betcamp is positioning itself as more than a sports betting platform. The company aims to become a leading sports and entertainment brand dedicated to engaging fans, celebrating excellence and creating memorable experiences for Nigerians.

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
