COLOSSUS BETS, home of the world’s biggest football and sports jackpots, today announced that its products, including the flagship Pick 7 Colossus, have gone live in Africa with Nigerian-based operators 1960Bet and NairaBET.

Bernard Marantelli, founder and CEO of Colossus Bets said: “We are delighted to be live with two of the premier betting brands in Africa’s most populous country. As a localised Nigerian product our headline weekly Colossus pool will be presented as the ₦1,000,000,000 Colossus (one billion Nigerian Naira), making it by some distance Africa’s biggest bet.”

“With partners now live in 3 continents, soon to be 4, betting firms everywhere are realising the massive potential of lottery-sized sports betting pools, together with the hugely engaging partial cash-out feature which we have developed and patented.”

Dotun Ajegbile, founder and CEO of 1960Bet said: “Our players are passionate about European football and with partial cash-out and global liquidity, this product is a great fit for the African market. Now that we are live with Colossus pools on-line we look forward to extending the offer to our retail estate and in time we look forward to being able to offer Colossus pools on African football competitions.”
