Odds
This bookmaker offers competitive odds. Most top-tier events have moderate margins, and some have very low ones. A margin under 5% is a good opportunity to pay less for your bets.
Let’s calculate the margin for the match. Taking the football match between Arsenal and Tottenham, the odds are as follows: 1.38-5.45-7.60 (home-draw-away). Plugging these values into the margin calculation formula, we get:
(1/1.38 + 1/5.45 + 1/7.60 – 1) x 100 = 3.97%.
Let’s also calculate the margin for the basketball match between Barcelona and Panathinaikos:
(1/2.03 + 1/1.83 – 1) x 100 = 3,91%
Finally, we looked at the tennis match between Diallo and Khachanov:
(1/3.35 + 1/1.33 – 1) x 100 = 5,04%. This isn’t very low, but it’s still a competitive margin.
Live
The Sports Live section is present but limited. When we checked while preparing the article, the number of events rarely exceeded 30. However, there were over 200 markets for football, around 100 for tennis, and 20+ for volleyball. You can bet on full-time results, total goals, halves, half-time totals, both teams to score, and more.
The navigation features are basic yet clear, with convenient options like switching between your selected main and event menus. This way, your last chosen event is saved, so you don’t need to search for it and click again if you return to the main menu.
Mobile App
This bookmaker doesn’t offer a mobile app, but you can place bets through a mobile browser. The platform is mobile-friendly.
Conclusion
WGB offers a solid yet average selection of markets and competitive odds, with decent customer support and live chat. However, if you’re a bonus hunter, you may be disappointed. You won’t even find a standard deposit sign-up bonus. As for payment methods, there isn’t a wide variety, but the options available are standard in Nigeria, so you can still easily top up your account and withdraw your winnings.
