Trade the Rise and Fall of Stock Markets on GoWagr

For decades, the stock market has been seen as the ultimate playground for investors—where fortunes are made, portfolios built, and companies valued. But the traditional way of trading stocks has always come with barriers: high entry points, complicated tools, and a focus on the long-term that locks out everyday Nigerians.

At GoWagr, we’ve always believed in making markets more accessible. Over the last few months, users have been able to trade their beliefs across Sports, Entertainment, Politics, Crypto, and most recently, the Economy.

Today, we’re taking the next step forward with the launch of markets that let you trade stock price movements.

How Does This Work?

GoWagr allows you to trade YES/NO shares on specific stock market outcomes instead of buying and holding company shares. This means you can put money behind your beliefs on stock price movements with markets like:

• What will be the Closing Price of Zenith Bank by September 20, 2025?
• NGX Top Gainer of the Week by September 13?
• Will UBA Maintain 2 Trillion Market Valuation in September, 2025?
• What will be the Closing Price of MTN Nigeria by September 20, 2025?

You’re not limited to waiting for long periods for your stock to appreciate. On GoWagr, you can profit whether a stock rises or falls—as long as your projection is right.

Here’s why this is important

Traditional investment apps give you exposure to shares of companies. But they require more capital, focus heavily on long-term performance, and are often intimidating to new investors.

GoWagr’s Markets redefine Stock Trading. You don’t need thousands of naira or dollars to get started. Instead, you can trade predictions on stocks with as little as ₦100.

The value for you:

• You can now profit from both upswings and downswings. On GoWagr, you’re not buying the stock itself—you’re trading on the probability of it rising or falling. This means you can earn whether a stock goes up or down, unlike traditional trading, where you only profit if the stock appreciates.
  
  
• You can trade on short-term movements of company stocks, instead of waiting for a purchased stock to appreciate, which often takes a long time to see meaningful returns.
  
  
• You get access to a crowdsourced forecast that shows how other traders see the market in real time.
  
  
• Users who already hold company shares can hedge potential losses by trading markets that align with possible negative outcomes.
  
  

GoWagr vs. Investment Apps: What’s Different?

With GoWagr, you can trade directly on your insight, turning both upward and downward moves into opportunities for profit.
  
  
• Short-Term & Long-term Outcomes: Stock investing often requires significant capital and long holding periods to turn a profit. On GoWagr, you can choose between short-term markets that settle in days or longer-term markets that play out over time, giving you more flexibility in your trade.
  
  
• Community Insights: Market prices on GoWagr reflect the collective belief of all traders, backed by real money. That gives you clearer insights into what the market truly believes—something stock apps don’t show you.
