BetKing empowers four states with Health Aid


Sports betting firm, BetKing, has delivered healthcare services, nutrition support, and maternal aid to underserved communities in Lagos, Osun, Abia, and Bayelsa states.

BetKing said in a statement that its empowerment, which ran from May 17 to June 17 under the banner ‘Month of Good,’ marked the conclusion of its 2025 corporate social responsibility campaign. The firm said it deployed mobile clinics offering free medical consultations, screenings, and treatment to residents in remote areas.

Chief Executive Officer of BetKing, Gossy Ukanwoke, said the company’s CSR efforts were rooted in social impact, not just business goals.

Ukanwoke stated, “At BetKing, our impact goes beyond the business. We are committed to serving our communities and empowering those who need it most. The ‘Month of Good’ reflects our values, providing real help, creating access, and improving lives.”

The firm said its maternal health focus was a highlight of the campaign. BetKing said it provided prenatal care, nutrition packages, hygiene kits, and essential medications to over 500 pregnant women at the Iga Idungaran Primary Health Centre, Adeniji, Lagos Island, and similar centres in other participating states.

It noted that the outreach also featured malaria testing, eye screenings, blood pressure checks, and health education sessions. BetKing added that its staff worked alongside healthcare professionals and local agents to administer free medications and care.

BetKing noted that it conducted a large-scale food and clothing drive to complement the health interventions. The company’s employees distributed food packs to thousands of families and shared pre-owned clothing with vulnerable individuals.

BetKing noted that its Cares campaign has reached more than 40 communities nationwide.
