Sierra Leone’s leading Sports Betting Company, Mercury International, through its Online Betting product, has officially launched a double promotion: six grand prizes for the end-of-year promotion on Vegas and Sports Raffles worth $120,000.

To give Sierra Leoneans new opportunities for financial uplift ahead of the festive season, the Company’s newly launched promotion is seen as high-value raffles that can’t be matched.

In his statement at the launch, held at Gigibonta, Lumley Beach Road, on 24th August, the Managing Director, Martin E. Michael, said they are on a mission to create opportunities for citizens to win bigger prizes than the preceding raffles.

“We just concluded our last launch where we gave out a house, and now, as we approach the Christmas season, we are back again with even bigger rewards,” he revealed.

“I am officially launching our end-of-year raffle, the Vegas Game Raffle, where players can qualify daily to win a brand-new Jetour TI 2026 Model Car, an automatic scooter, and an 85-inch Smart Television.”

Regarding the Sports Raffle, the Mercury International MD said it is only for sports betting customers and that it has three grand prizes: a two-bedroom house at Taff Salone, a TVS tricycle [Kekeh], and a Lifan motorbike.

He said: “ This is a record-breaking promotion, and we look forward to handing over the prizes in January 2027. These raffles are real. We are not here to pretend.”

The company’s Deputy Online Manager, Mr Octavus Jackson, on the eligibility of customers to win, said you first need to open an online account by visiting mercurybet.com.

He further explained that to be eligible to secure a ticket for the Vegas Raffle draw, an individual needs to play an accumulated ticket cost of NLe250, while for the Sports Raffle ticket, you just need an accumulated cost of NLe50.

“Everyone playing is a winner. We are generous in giving out bonuses. Bet with the best,” Jackson said, adding that Mercury International is committed to creating life-changing opportunities.

“Mercury is doing what would normally take a lifetime to secure a house, but with Mercury, you can get a house, a Kekeh, a car, or a bike in no time,” he emphasised.

Public Relations Manager, Alhaji Komba, said: “Mercury International is not just about betting; it’s about making Sierra Leoneans happy.”

He said that both raffles will run from 24th August, 2026 to 3rd January, 2027, with the grand prize handover ceremony scheduled for 2027.
