Porn, betting sites recorded 162m Nigerian visitors in June – Report

A recent report by global data and business intelligence platform StatiSense has revealed that Nigerian mobile users made over 162 million visits to porn and betting websites in June 2024.

 

The platform’s latest data, which highlights the top ten websites visited by Nigerians on mobile devices last month, shows a significant portion of this traffic is directed towards adult content and gambling sites.

 

According to a post shared by StatiSense on its official X page, the top visited websites included a mix of search engines, social media apps, and betting platforms. Notably, Xvideos and Xnxx, two adult sites, collectively received 80.18 million visits, ranking second and sixth respectively.

 

In addition, Nigerian mobile users visited sporting websites 176.83 million times. Of these, 83.1 million visits were allocated to sports betting sites Sportybet and Bet9ja, which secured third and fourth places on the list.

 

Interestingly, despite the high traffic to these sites, major social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram did not make it into StatiSense’s top ten most visited websites by Nigerians for June 2024. Google and Facebook were also among the sites that featured prominently in the report.
