BetJara App Download Guide for Android and iOS in Nigeria

The BetJara app is available on Android and iOS in Nigeria, allowing low deposits from ₦100, and offering fast, on the go betting on pre-match and live events as well as reliable mobile payments and a secure betting environment.

BetJara is licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA), so the app can be downloaded and installed legally in Nigeria.

You can get the BetJara app in a few different ways, depending on the device you use. Below, we’ll show how to install the mobile app on Android and iOS.

BetJara App Download for Android (APK Installation Guide)

These are the four features that stood out for us while testing the app.

Favourites – Quick Access to Matches and Leagues

We found the Favourites feature to be a very useful tool for tracking our preferred markets and teams. You can mark any match or league at the top right of the screen (green star icon) when you enter a match preview.

After that, you can find the marked match in the Favourites tab at the top right part of the screen. If you like planning bets ahead, this saves time.

Live Section and Live TV

The Live section is another area the app excels. When you open it, you see each sport with the exact number of live matches available. Inside selected games, there’s a Live TV option, which you can watch in a small window or full screen. This makes live betting faster and more informed.

System Bets Inside the Bet Slip

The app bet slip has three tabs: Single, Multi, and System. When you choose System, the app automatically splits your selections into multiple smaller combinations, from 2/3 up to 15/16.

This means that you have to catch 2 out of 3 matches (for a 2/3 system) to get the payout from the slip, reducing risk on your acca bets.

The bet slip also features a built-in System Calculator which shows how many combinations you’re placing and how your stake is shared.

Odds Boost

Odds Boosts appear directly on the main sports screen. Each boosted slip includes three or more selected pre-match events and the app clearly shows the odds before and after the boost.

In one test, odds increased from 5.57 to 6.68, which is a noticeable jump. In most cases, odds boost applies to football matches, but you can find basketball, volleyball, and ice hockey games.

You will also find that all games on these slips are pre-match accumulator events.

From the bottom menu, clicking on Sports opens a live-focused screen straight away. You instantly see ongoing matches, and the menu switches to Live, Prematch, My Bets, and My Profile.

There are over 40 sports to bet on, but football is the most popular with Nigerian bettors. The app lists 900+ football matches, grouped by EU, Africa, World, and other regions, making navigation really easy.

There’s also a Popular Competitions panel with leagues like the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Champions League, which saves clicks. Inside a match, markets are well organised under tabs such as:

• Main
• 1st Half
• 2nd Half
• Corners
• Yellow Cards
• Fouls
• And more

Placing a bet is simple. Tap a match, choose your market, and it appears in the bet slip instantly. From there, you can play Single, Multi, or System bets, with system options ranging from 2/3 up to 15/16 combinations. Odds are calculated instantly, and the bet slip clearly shows potential returns.

Another thing we found during testing is that the LIVE section showed hundreds of active events across football, basketball, table tennis, and eSports. Odds update fast, cash out is available on many matches, and selected games include Live TV streams, including major football competitions.

Prematch betting also lets you favourite matches and receive push notifications, which is useful if you track games throughout the day.

This is how to place a bet once you’ve logged in and funded your account:

1. Open the app and go to the Sports section.
2. Select Football, then choose the league or match you want to bet on.
3. Tap on your preferred market and odds to add it to the bet slip.
4. Add more selections if you want a multi-bet or accumulator.
5. Open the bet slip, enter your stake, and review the potential return.
6. Tap Place Bet to confirm.

We tested the casino section inside the app, and it’s fast and easy to use. Tapping Casino from the bottom menu opens a clean screen with clear categories at the top.

The app offers 6,000+ casino games from 70+ providers, including Pragmatic Play, BetSoft, Wazdan, Platipus, and Evolution.

Games are sorted into simple tabs like Crash, Jackpot, Roulette, Table Games, Instant, Popular, Trending, and All. Each category shows how many games it has and which providers supply them, which helps when you’re looking for something specific.

Slots support demo mode, which we tested with Africa Gold. The game loaded in under one second and ran smoothly.

Low-stakes games start from ₦25, while high-variance crash titles allow much larger bets, up to ₦4,250,000. A betting-range filter lets you pick games based on your stake, which saves time.

There are separate sections for Live Casino, TV Games, and Fast Games. TV Games include Keno, Hi-Lo, and Sic Bo. Fast Games cover titles like Plinko and Minefield.

The Live Casino features 800+ HD games from Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, and Ezugi, with stable streaming and responsive controls on mobile.

Yes, the BetJara app is legal and properly licensed for Nigerian users. While conducting our BetJara review, we discovered that the platform is operated by Jara Investment Technologies Ltd, which holds the following licenses:

• Sports betting license (No. 00000013)
• Casino license (No. 00000010)

Both licenses are issued by the FCT Lottery Regulatory Office in Abuja, certifying the platform as one of the best betting sites in Nigeria.

Additionally, the operator also holds a valid Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority permit for online betting (LSLGA/OP/OSB/BJ070325), thereby complying with both Federal and State level sports betting regulations. You must be 18 or older to use the app.

In terms of player security, the app does things right. During testing, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) was active by default, which is still rare among local bookmakers.

All account data is encrypted, payments go through secure gateways, and transactions are monitored in real time to flag unusual activity. KYC checks are in place to protect withdrawals, not to block normal play.

Payments on the app are clearly structured. From the home screen, we clicked Deposit in the top-right corner and got to a single page with all options visible.

So, for deposits, the app supports:

• Bank cards (Visa, MasterCard, Verve)
• Paystack
• Quickteller
• Interswitch
• USSD
• OPay, and
• Bank transfers.

Each method shows its limits before you proceed.

In our test, deposits started from ₦100, with maximum limits up to ₦1,000,000. Card and wallet payments went through instantly.

Withdrawals is situated under the Profile menu, then Withdrawals. The app limits withdrawals to the same method you used to deposit, which is standard for licensed betting sites in Nigeria.

Minimum withdrawal is ₦1,000, with daily limits up to ₦9,999,999. Most withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, though manual bank transfers can take longer.

One thing to note: BetJara requires you to wager 65% of your deposit before withdrawing.

We tested customer support directly from the app to see how it works in real use. From the main menu, the app shows three contact options at the bottom:

• Live chat
• Email ([email protected])
• Phone (+234 816 916 8280)

Live chat is the most reliable option, but it doesn’t run fully inside the app. When we tapped it, we were redirected to the LiveChat company with a message saying to go to the main website for support. This is not how an in-app live chat is supposed to work, so it’s a big inconvenience for users.

We went to the mobile website and contacted live support there, which worked as intended.

Once connected, the agent replied quickly and answered our question about app bonuses without delay. The response was clear and honest. There are no app-exclusive bonuses, only the standard welcome offer. Live chat is only available during business hours.

Email and phone support both work from the app, but they’re slower. We waited almost 48 hours for an email reply, and phone support required multiple attempts before connecting. Based on our testing, live chat works only when you go to the mobile site, and email and phone support are slower than expected.

We used both the app and the mobile site on the same phone to see which actually feels better in daily use.

User Interface

We used both the app and the mobile site on the same phone. The apps win on layout. Menus stay fixed at the bottom, buttons are larger, and switching between Live and Prematch takes under one second. On the mobile site, you scroll more and rely on browser controls, which slows things down once odds start to change in live matches and when the results update in real time.

Push Notifications

This is where the apps gain a significant advantage. Both Android and iOS versions send push notifications for favourite matches, odds changes, and kick-off alerts. The mobile site has no notifications. If you don’t keep the page open, you miss updates.

Performance and Speed

During testing, the apps loaded match pages in about one second and refreshed live odds without visible lag. Market switches were instant, even on mobile data. The mobile site works, but when the connection dips, you see reloads and delayed updates, especially during live betting.

Storage Space and Device Requirements Compared

The apps use from 2 to 9 MB of storage, depending on the device. That’s a small trade-off for faster loading, stable odds refresh, and notifications. The mobile site uses no storage, but you give up speed and convenience. If you place bets daily, the app saves time almost immediately.

Yes. We’d rate the BetJara app a strong 4.5 out of 5. The interface feels clean and user friendly, with Live, Prematch, and My Bets always easy to reach. After installing the app, we were able to place bets straight away without needing a walkthrough or extra setup.

What impressed us most was how well the app handles live football betting. Odds refresh quickly, markets stay organised, and switching between matches is fast even on mobile data. The system betting tools are also well thought out, especially the built-in calculator that shows exactly how combinations and stakes are split.

In conclusion, it is a great app to use, especially for regular football bettors.
