I think that is a government decision on taxing which can bring such results as where I live now despite a small number of habitants compared to your country I have seen here them to be almost 100% gamblers or in high favor of gambling.The government took a massive campaign of banning every casino except the big one first,then the other two bigs after that,they are the only ones operating now and generate much more profit to the state as everyone goes there to play.So maybe some casinos which don't offer you sport betting maybe they are not happy with government taxes.
If all casinos and most providers don't allow sports betting in your country then something might be stopping them to disallow it.
The question now is “what?” What exactly is stopping them from providing their service?
From what I know there’s no law in Nigeria that prohibits gambling so I don’t see any reason why a gambling site would prevent Nigerians from accessing their site. I have encountered this issue several times, even in some site that I just want to try it so that I’d have an idea of how they operate - the most recent one was “nitrobetting”, I know I have visited that site several times to read some of their articles they drop concerning bets and all of a sudden I’m being prevented from accessing the site. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.
It depends on the provider I guess, some providers don't allow members from a few countries to take part in betting and that's why they haven't allowed sports betting in your country. You may try different casinos or different providers to see if they also don't allow sports betting in your country or they allow it. If all casinos and most providers don't allow sports betting in your country then something might be stopping them to disallow it.
Sports betting is not illegal in my country. According to some key gambling and betting statistics1,2:
We are actually a gambling nation and the market is highly profitable. I wonder why despite these statistics, yet some sport betting and casino sites haven't taken advantage of it. As I conducted my research, I noticed that some casinos don't offer or no longer offers their services to people in my country. There are other countries with similar situation too. And it begs the question: why the reluctance? Such hesitation seems out of place in a country where gambling is legal.
