@sportybetke I am unable to withdraw to Mpesa from last night. My calls to your customer care number aren’t being answered, neither are my online chats. What’s not happening?#PortugalvsSwitzerland

Not only can’t Kenyans withdraw but they can deposit either. This has led to a long line of angry customers waiting to get their money back.
Its unclear how this will affect the company going forward, but it is sure to have a long lasting effect on the relationship between SportyBet and its Kenyan customers.
The company has been growing rapidly due it it’s unique offerings which include a cashout option that allows users to take their winnings before the end of a match and great odds.
This incident has cast a dark shadow on an otherwise successful company, and its up to SportyBet to make things right with their customers. Until then Kenyans are stuck in limbo waiting for a resolution. It is vital that the company acts quickly and transparently to assure their customers of a safe and secure betting experience.
