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 platform gave him a potential winning of US$5 400,
provided the bet won.
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. Herald
