The unveiling, held on May 6, 2025, at BetKing’s Astroturf, was marked by a major announcement: a Guinness World Record attempt for the most people keeping a football in the air, with 2,000 participants—anchored by Okocha himself.
A True Celebration of Nigerian Street Football
JJ BallX immerses players in an authentic street football environment, featuring reskinned visuals inspired by local street scenes. The central character, JJ, is modeled after Okocha, ensuring a fun, relatable experience that extends beyond the screen.
To celebrate the launch, BetKing is rolling out a ₦5,000,000 promo campaign from May 6 to June 6, 2025. Fifty lucky players will win ₦100,000 cashback each by staking a minimum of ₦5,000 cumulatively on JJ BallX during the promo period. Winners will be chosen at random, and terms apply.
