PariPesa players win over ₦900 million with 3 accumulator bets during holidays
Sponsored PariPesa players in Nigeria won over ₦900 million from accumulator bets during the Christmas and New Year period. The platform reported an unusual cluster of wins between December 20-31, with roughly ₦80 million in accumulator bets (featuring 10+ odds) placed by about 5,000 players, who collectively won ₦900 million. The company's Africa CBDO, Damilare Obadimu, described the volume of wins as a "holiday-season anomaly" where results aligned for a large number of customers at once, calling the event "remarkable" but noted it was operationally demanding for their team. Key wins included a ₦600,000 stake that paid out ₦8,786,709 at 14.64 total odds, and another ₦1,000 stake that won ₦782,901.01 at 782.9 total odds. PariPesa, which has been in Nigeria for over 5 years, has previously partnered with Nigerian football star Obafemi Martins and expanded in 2025 with partnerships including Olympique Lyonnais and Yaya Touré as brand ambassador. The company is currently running a 'Bet & Win a Car' promotion for new registrants using promo code 'NEWS'.
