Sierra Leone.- Sierra Leone bettors<\/strong> have been offered the chance to win a new house through a betting promotion launched by Mercury International. The campaign, launched in Freetown, gives players the opportunity to enter a draw for a two-bedroom bungalow valued at $81,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercury International CEO Martin Michael said: \u201cThis house prize is the most materially transformative reward<\/strong> offered by a gaming company in Sierra Leone.\u201d The promotion started on April 1 and runs up to July 20, with the final draw scheduled for July 21. Entries are earned through qualifying bets placed on the operator\u2019s Mercury Bet platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the mechanics of the campaign, customers receive raffle entries<\/strong> based on the value and type of bets placed. A SLL50 ($2.25) sports wager qualifies for one raffle ticket, while SLL250 ($11.25) wagered on the operator\u2019s Vegas-style games also generates a ticket for the draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercury International is one of the largest gaming operators in Sierra Leone, operating sports betting, lottery and gaming services<\/strong> across the country through a network of retail outlets and digital platforms. The company runs the Mercury Bet sports betting brand and maintains a long-standing presence in the country\u2019s gaming sector, with retail betting shops and digital wagering services available nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promotions tied to betting activity have become increasingly common across African gaming markets as operators seek to boost player acquisition and retention, with incentives<\/strong> ranging from cash rewards and vehicles to high-value prizes such as property.<\/p>\n\n\n
