Don’t tell us that you’ve been blind to see that you scammed so many persons whose games came through, go and refund them and uphold your integrity. You eat from us and when we hustle for our food, you still take it away.
It’s so bad.#MSportScam

Users warned that there need to be better sports betting regulations in Nigeria to prevent cases of fraud and refusal to pay out by gaming companies. @sportingking365 said, “There’s absolutely zero regulations for bookies in Africa. All they want to do is take. take and take. It’s sad.” 

“It was written boldly ‘including extra winnings’, but they marked @Ekitipikin game as loss AND refunded stakes. How’s it a loss? Do you even refund loss stakes? #MsportScam

Others warned that if the refusal to pay out winnings is not fixed, they will leave the sports betting platform. As @betgains said, “If Msport doesn’t rectify this, they should bid bye-bye because nobody is playing with them anymore”.
