In June, Orpin started his adventure with BetKing, learning about virtual gaming. Following several minor victories, such as N18,000 and N185,000, his perseverance paid off when he won the jackpot at Christmas.
“When I got the call about my win, I couldn’t believe it. But when BetKing explained everything, I knew it was real,” Orpin said.
BetKing expressed enthusiasm
Nengi Akinola, BetKing’s head of marketing, said she was thrilled by Orpin’s accomplishment: “Orpin’s win represents everything BetKing stands for—transforming lives and creating memorable experiences for our customers.”
The win was part of BetKing’s larger Christmas celebrations, which also featured the BetKing Danfo Santa campaign, spreading joy and food to communities in Lagos.
For Orpin, the N5 million prize represents more than just money. “BetKing has brought joy to my life, and I pray they continue to touch lives in meaningful ways,” she said.
