New sports betting firm, BetBonanza, on Thursday unveiled ex-Super Eagles striker and former Assistant Manager of the Nigeria National Football Team, Daniel Amokachi A.K.A “The Bull” as its brand Ambassador.
Mr Amokachi was introduced at the official press conference to a group of newsmen, bloggers and influencers during the brand launch in Lagos.
The new brand ambassador, a former Everton Football Club of England player, informed journalists at the event that, “I am glad to join a company that believes in getting better. This is because getting better at whatever one does is a continuous process. My career has been a constant learning curve and road to becoming better. There are lessons and opportunities for growth with every “ups and downs” one encounters.”
“Honestly, there are great moments that I can never forget, but being better than I was yesterday has always been my watchword. I believe that if you are ready to take that one step, you can always become a better person. This is the value that I passionately share with BetBonanza.
“I am thrilled to be part of BetBonanza, and I believe in what they represent”, the African legend concluded.
Daniel Amokachi enjoyed a tremendous footballing career; he was the first Nigerian player to score in the UEFA Champions League. He has contributed significantly to the Super Eagles top three tournaments in the 1990s including winning the Olympic Gold Medal in ’96.
Also speaking at the event, the Managing Director of BetBonanza, Mr Adekunle Adeniji, revealed that BetBonanza has spent both time and resources to develop a world-class platform as well as the right team behind it.
“We as a company, believe in the need to continue to get better, that’s the reason behind our slogan which says “be better”. We have built a state-of-the-art platform, using modern technology which none of our competitors possess. Our mission is to be the best-loved betting company in Nigeria through innovations, trust and transparency”, he said.
“Our primary focus is to create more than 15,000 jobs in the next 12 months in Nigeria through the agency model we are launching. There is also an opportunity for our agents and super agents to get loans periodically to improve their existing shop or to start a new one. In the next 18 months, we are looking at creating more than 20,000 direct and indirect jobs,” he continued.
“As our customer, you should of course expect a very wide variety of betting opportunities on our state-of-the art platforms, but you should also expect very good service, including fast payments, and service with a transparency that shows you we’re listening to you. Together we can be better,” Mr Adeniji assured.
The Marketing & Social Responsibility Manager of the firm, Mr George Mbam, also reiterated the plan of the company to support grassroots sports; and not only football but other games that are not getting enough funding as BetBonanza’s own contribution to create a better environment for the sport-loving youths of Nigeria.
Apart from licensed sports betting, customers can also bet on BetBonanza’s state-of-the-art virtual football, a wide range of casino and number games. BetBonanza is now open to online customers everywhere in Nigeria with exciting offerings and bonuses. New customers get a 100 per cent welcome bonus of up to N100,000 on their first deposit to bet.
