Bet9ja Commission for Agents

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 about volume, because agents earn a cut of every 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.

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.
