8XBet Verification Status

Is 8XBet Licensed in Nigeria?

The most precise answer we can verify from the public sources reviewed is that 8XBet currently appears on the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority's licensed-operator register.

The register lists Strivora Limited, trading as 8XBet, in the category Online Sports Betting/Online Casino, with a licence period running from 5 June 2026 until 4 June 2027.

However, readers should distinguish between a Lagos State licence entry and a broader claim that a company holds every licence or regulatory approval that may be relevant across Nigeria.

For that reason, we describe what the Lagos regulator currently records rather than making a wider nationwide licensing claim that the source itself does not establish.

Is 8XBet Licensed in Lagos?

Yes, the current public LSLGA register lists 8XBet.

The entry visible when we checked the regulator's live register contained the following information:

Because licence registers can be updated, renewed or corrected, readers should repeat this search directly on the regulator's website rather than relying permanently on a dated screenshot or third-party article.

Which Company Is Associated With 8XBet in Nigeria?

For the Lagos licence entry, the company name that appears in the regulator's register is Strivora Limited, with 8XBet shown as its trade name.

This is therefore the clearest public regulatory connection we found between the 8XBet name and a company listed by the Lagos regulator.

That does not necessarily mean that Strivora Limited is the global owner of the 8XBet brand.

Who Owns the 8XBet Brand?

The public 8XBet corporate website states that the 8XBet brand is owned by Aplus Limited, registration number 129564, a company registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

This information comes from 8XBet's own corporate website. It should therefore be treated as a company statement, rather than as an independent finding by the Lagos regulator.

Why Do Aplus Limited and Strivora Limited Both Appear?

The two public sources describe different things.

• 8XBet's corporate website identifies Aplus Limited as the owner of the 8XBet brand.
• The Lagos regulator's register identifies Strivora Limited as the institution using the 8XBet trade name for the listed Lagos gaming licence.

A global brand owner and a locally licensed operating company can be different legal entities.

The public records reviewed for this article do not, by themselves, explain the complete corporate, contractual or ownership relationship between Aplus Limited and Strivora Limited.

That distinction matters. A reader should not automatically assume that the company owning a brand, the company appearing on a local licence and the company named in an individual customer's account agreement are necessarily the same entity.

How We Verified the 8XBet Lagos Licence

Our verification procedure is intentionally simple enough for readers to repeat independently.

1. Open the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority's live licensed-operator register.
2. Search the page for 8XBet.
3. Check the institution name associated with that trade name.
4. Record the licence category.
5. Check both the licence start and end dates.
6. Confirm that the end date has not already passed.
7. Repeat the search using the legal company name, in this case Strivora Limited.
8. Compare the regulator information with the legal company named in any current user terms before making a financial decision.

This method helps avoid relying on old affiliate articles, screenshots or search-result snippets after the official register has changed.

Is 8XBet Legit in Nigeria?

The word “legit” can mean several different things, so it should not be answered with a simple marketing-style yes or no.

One important fact can currently be verified: the Lagos regulator's public register lists Strivora Limited trading as 8XBet with a licence period ending on 4 June 2027.

That is useful regulatory evidence, but licence status is only one part of due diligence.

Before using any gambling platform, a reader may also want to verify:

• which legal company appears in the current account terms;
• which company receives or processes payments;
• what identity and source-of-funds checks may apply;
• what withdrawal limits or review procedures apply;
• what privacy and data-processing terms apply;
• how complaints and disputes are handled; and
• which responsible-gambling and account-control tools are available.

We therefore use the regulator entry as evidence of a current Lagos licence listing, not as a guarantee of safety, customer satisfaction, successful withdrawals, profitability or suitability for an individual reader.

What We Could Not Independently Verify

During this review, we did not find sufficiently stable public primary-source information to make definitive claims about every part of the Nigerian customer relationship.

Readers should independently verify the current position on:

• the exact legal entity contracting with each Nigerian user;
• the relationship between Aplus Limited and Strivora Limited;
• current Nigeria-specific account terms;
• identity-verification and source-of-funds requirements;
• deposit and withdrawal limits;
• withdrawal processing and account-review procedures;
• fees that may apply to particular payment methods;
• current privacy and international data-transfer terms;
• account suspension and closure procedures;
• complaint escalation procedures; and
• responsible-gambling controls available within an account.

These are details that can materially affect money, privacy and disputes. They should be checked in current contractual documents rather than inferred from advertisements or third-party promotional reviews.

What a Lagos Licence Does — and Does Not — Tell You

A regulator listing can help establish that a particular legal entity and trade name appear in an official licensing record for the stated category and dates.

It does not by itself tell a reader:

• whether every service offered under the brand is covered in every location;
• which company contracts with a particular user;
• whether every payment or withdrawal will be completed without review;
• whether a particular promotion has fair or suitable terms;
• whether an individual will have a satisfactory customer-service experience; or
• whether gambling is financially appropriate for that person.

This is why our review separates facts visible in official records from broader conclusions those records cannot prove.

8XBet Company Verification Checklist

If you are researching 8XBet or another betting company, consider completing these checks yourself:

1. Check the regulator. Search the current official register for both the brand and legal company name.
2. Check the dates. A historical licence entry should not automatically be described as a current licence.
3. Check the legal entity. Find the company named in the current account or website terms.
4. Check payment information. Identify the company involved in deposits and withdrawals where that information is available.
5. Read withdrawal conditions. Review verification, limits, documentation and account-review provisions.
6. Read privacy terms. Understand which company receives personal information and where it may be processed.
7. Check complaint procedures. Find out how unresolved account or payment disputes can be escalated.
8. Save the terms you rely on. Online terms can change, so keeping the version applicable to a transaction may be useful.

Primary Sources Used for This Review

• 
  Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority — Licensed Operators Register
  
• 8XBet Corporate Website

Source distinction: The LSLGA register is used for the Lagos licence information. The 8XBet corporate website is used only for statements the brand makes about its ownership. A company website is not treated as independent regulatory confirmation.

Our Current-Status Review Procedure

This article should be reviewed regularly because licensing and company information can change.

When updating it, an editor should:

1. re-open the live LSLGA licensed-operator register;
2. search for both 8XBet and Strivora Limited;
3. record the exact category and licence dates displayed;
4. check whether a newer or replacement entry exists;
5. review the current 8XBet corporate ownership statement;
6. look for current user terms identifying the contracting entity;
7. update the “Last independently checked” date; and
8. avoid extending a Lagos-specific finding into a broader claim that the evidence does not establish.

Editorial Conclusion

As of our 11 August 2026 check, the clearest regulatory fact we could independently verify is that the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority's public register lists Strivora Limited with the trade name 8XBet under Online Sports Betting/Online Casino for the period 5 June 2026 to 4 June 2027.

Separately, 8XBet's public corporate website states that the global brand is owned by Aplus Limited, registration number 129564, in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

These two sources should not be combined into claims they do not prove. In particular, the available records do not by themselves establish the complete relationship between Aplus Limited and Strivora Limited or identify the contracting entity for every Nigerian customer.

Our conclusion is therefore limited to what can currently be verified: there is a current Lagos regulator entry for Strivora Limited trading as 8XBet. Readers should still verify the current legal entity, account terms, payment conditions and complaint procedures before making a financial decision.
