This popular bookmaker has enjoyed much success with its franchise model, allowing enthusiastic entrepreneurs to open up Bet9ja shops around Nigeria.
What are Bet9ja Agents
Bet9ja agents are simply individuals approved by Bet9ja to set up and run their own Bet9ja shop. Agents are people that want the challenge of running their own store and are happy to take on the risks involved because there is plenty to gain if all goes well. Success is not guaranteed when becoming a Bet9ja agent, but it is a popular role that suits many who sign-up.
Advantages of Being a Bet9ja Agent
If you are interested in becoming a Bet9ja agent, one important thing to know is not only how to start a Bet9ja business but what are the advantages of doing so. To give a summary, these are as follows:
Positives

- You will have regular access to help and support from a dedicated team at Bet9ja.
- You can earn commission payouts linked to performance.
- Bet9ja agents do not carry the liability for bets themselves, so they are in no danger if a customer at their shop wins big.
- There is a huge number of sporting events available for your customers to bet on.
Commission
Two questions that are often asked by people interested in this program are how much does Bet9ja pay their agents? And how much do Bet9ja agents earn monthly?
There is no fixed answer to these questions because the Bet9ja agent commission is linked directly to individual performance. This means some Bet9ja agents earn a lot more than others. It is all a matter of volume because agents earn a cut of every single bet placed in their shop. They also enjoy commission for any online/mobile bets placed by customers who complete the Bet9ja Registration process at their store.
Commission rates are linked to how many legs feature in a bet, so a single bet pays out at 1%, a treble pays out at 5%, and 6/7/8 folds pay 9%, rising to 20% for 26+ selections.
Requirements for Becoming an Agent
There are both personal and financial requirements for any Bet9ja agent.

- Some knowledge of how to run a business and how to attract customers.
- Strong customer service skills.
- An available ?50,000 (approx) to cover the registration fee.

- Complete the application form, inputting details such as your name and address. All fields are mandatory except a description of your proposed business.
- Submit the form and then wait for a member of the Bet9ja team to contact you for an introductory conversation, which will be something like an informal interview.
- If the discussion goes well and you are deemed suitable for the scheme, your proposed shop premise will undergo a physical inspection.
- If the shop passes the inspection, you can begin signing papers and completing your registration.
How to Open Bet9ja Shop
You need to consider many things when thinking about how to open a Bet9ja shop account to be ready for customers. In addition to a suitable premise, which will have already been sorted by this stage, your location also needs items like PCs, electricity supply, fans, flat screen TV, sufficient seating and reliable internet. Bet9ja will provide betting slip printers and branded banners.
Although equipment and utilities are likely to cost a six-figure sum, they own anything an agent buys for the store. Once everything has been purchased, Bet9ja agents must wait for official approval before opening.
