One of the acclaimed best online betting platforms in Nigeria, Sportybet has been called out for allegedly aiding fraud on its platform.
A certain popular Twitter punter, @Ekitipikin led the campaign after being informed about a certain user that committed suicide.
JustNewsLine(JNL) gathered that the victim allegedly lost 1.5 Million Naira to a scammer, and he took his life after the incident. Our correspondent dug deep and noticed this he’s not the first user that was scammed on the platform. This was corroborated by tweets from punters and users.
