Di Nigeria Tax Act (‘NTA’) 2025, wey take effect 1 January 2026, confirm di worldwide-income basis wey apply to Nigerian residents.
Just as illustration: on a Lagos-licensed platform, resident player gross win × 95% na di net wey dem go credit after di 5% deduction. So if your gross win na ₦1,000.00, di net na ₦950.00. Dis figure na for general orientation only — e no be tax advice.
