Bezbets Struggles to Pay Out Winning Punter
The betting company had made a counter-report of fraud against the punter who placed a bet and won US$5 200 and they refused to pay.
In the counter-report, Bezbets claimed that the punter had placed a wrong bet therefore it was an act of fraud. However, during vetting the case was declined prosecution.
Bezbets was last month arraigned in court for allegedly defrauding a client of US$5 200 that he had won after playing a game.
In that matter, the company is being represented by its Manager Robson Chinamasa.
Chinamasa pleaded not guilty to fraud charges and trial is expected to commence on December 8 before Harare Magistrate Mr Simon Kandiyero.

Prosecuting, Ms Faith Mavhudzi alleged that on October 26 and at the BEZBETS online platform, the complainant alleges that he placed a bet on the roulette with a stake of US$394.

The complainant won the bet and he proceeded to the shop to withdraw his winning bet with a sum of US$5 400.
However, the court heard that Chinamasa refused to make a payout of US$5 400 and instead offered US$1 800.
Realising that he had been duped, the complainant filed a report with the police.
