He praised the board and management and encouraged them to maintain their excellent record, assuring them of the continuing relationship between the company and Nigerian regulators.
Betway’s Ongoing Commitment
Anthony Werkman, the CEO of Betway, expressed his gratitude for the extension of the Nigerian license and declared his company’s commitment to maintaining high standards of ethical and responsible gaming practices and customer service. Werkman thanked the National Lottery Regulatory Commission for the opportunity to continue providing a safe, secure, and fair environment for Nigerian bettors to enjoy online.
