The Kenyan Government figure that they can shut down the 2 billion USD mobile phone betting industry. Looks like Everton and Hull might be on the market for a new shirt sponsor if the government 48 hour notice to all gamblers to withdraw their deposits actually kicks in
SportPesa and Betin have argued that it would be impossible for mobile companies to shut down their paybills and short codes since they have pending cases in court between them and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on taxes.
Last week, High Court Judge Weldon Korir suspended BCLB’s decision to deny Betin a chance to renew its licence.
Betin argued before court that unless an urgent temporary order is issued to stop the board’s decision, it would suffer irreparable losses, including being arrested for running an unlicensed business.
