What is Wild Stars?
Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG) estimates that bettors will plunk down $40.5 billion on the NFL this season through regulated channels. Traditional sportsbooks are projected to capture $31.7 billion of that total, compared to a handle analog of $8.4 billion for prediction markets—a 79% to 21% split in favor of legacy operators.
Handle analog is a metric used as a cleaner comparison between sportsbooks and prediction markets because the latter’s volume doesn’t compare evenly with sportsbook handle.
Based on its projections, EKG sees the overall sports wagering industry growing 8% year-over-year, outpacing the current baseline growth rate of 5% (a figure that strips out temporary boosts from the 2026 World Cup).

Alongside this, the AiA wants to use the lessons from the inaugural week to broaden participation and establish the campaign as a permanent fixture.
“Our ambition is to expand participation each year and make the week an established feature of the African gambling calendar,” Kesitilwe continues.

Once you have picked a platform, create an account with a valid phone number and email address. Most Nigerian operators require you to verify your identity before you can withdraw winnings, so keep your details accurate from the start.
Depositing money is usually instant. Nigerian bettors can fund their accounts through bank transfer, card, USSD or popular mobile money options. Always deposit only what you can afford to lose.
Before placing your first bet, take time to understand the odds and the different markets. A simple 1X2 market is easier to read than complex accumulator combinations when you are new.
