The most common reason Nigerian bettors miss out on the welcome offer is simple: they scroll past the Promotion Code field. The code is YOHAIG, and it has to go in before you submit the form.

The registration sequence

Step 1. Start the sign-up. Tap Register in the top right of the bet9ja promo code homepage.

Step 2. Fill the form. You will need your name, a Nigerian phone number, an email address and a password you have not used elsewhere.

Step 3. Find the Promotion Code field. It is labelled Promotion Code and marked optional. On mobile you may need to scroll past the password fields to reach it.

Step 4. Enter the code. Enter it in capitals. The field is not case sensitive, but capitals avoid confusion.

Step 5. Submit and verify. Complete verification before moving to the deposit stage.

Step 6. Fund the account. Deposit at least ₦100 to trigger the welcome offer. Most Nigerian payment methods are accepted, including bank transfer and the common wallets.
