Bet9ja is an online bookmaker company that offers betting on major sporting events operating in Nigeria.[2] Traded under KC Gaming Networks Limited and run by a series of shareholders of multiple nationalities, the website is licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries Board (LSLB) with permission to operate in other parts of Nigeria.[3]

Bet9ja.com is the third most-visited website in Nigeria after Google.com and Youtube.com in late April 2020, according to Alexa, a global internet traffic ranking firm. It is also the first most-visited local site in Nigeria and the only Nigerian website in the top 500 most-visited websites globally as of April 2020, according to a recent listing by IABC Africa.[4][5]

Bet9ja was co-founded by Ayo Ojuroye and Kunle Soname who are its CEO and chairman respectively. In 2022, Bet9ja became the official sponsor/partner of the Nigeria Professional Football League.[6]

Bet9ja was the headline sponsor of the 2019 edition of Big Brother Naija.
