A Nigerian man, Lukman Teriba, has cried out after getting only R53k out of over R296,829 which he won by betting.
Lukman revealed that he had predicted 37 games with R17 to win R296,829, but when he took his ticket to the betting shop, he was told that the winnings had been withdrawn.
the heartbroken man said he took the case to the Bet9ja head office, where the management urged their agent to pay him his money. However, despite signing an agreement, the agent only sent R53k.
In his words: “I played the game in Ido. I predicted 37 matches and staked R17 It brought R296,829. I was expecting the four remaining games on Sunday.” “When I took the tickets to the betting shop, they told me the winnings have been withdrawn and I protested. They persuaded their agent to pay my money and he sent R53k to me after a court agreement. They did not pay me fully and told me to find those that withdrew the money initially” he added.
I do not have issues with those people but the bet9ja. I played a bet via their platform and predicted 37 games to win R296,829 in September 2023. I have not received any other money since then and I have evidence to prove it.”
Social media users took to the comments section to share their thoughts about the situation. Ashlyrules said: “If it’s not greed you play with R17 won R296k and was credited R53k pls don’t pay this guy more money mbok.” Pellyrain_lion wrote: “The agent is with your money not bet9ja , arrest the agent.”
Samsmooth_ reacted: “The agent probably cashed out the ticket thinking the bet wouldn’t come through. The agent would then have kept the money they cashed out if the ticket had a blank, because the guy would have no idea it was cashed out. But unfortunately all the games came in miraculously.”
Eze.nna.ya.1 added: “I will file a suit against bet Naija on his behalf Pro bono (free of charge). However, if I and my team recover the money he won. The money will be splitted into two. One part for him the other for me and my firm.” Eze.nna.ya.1 added: “I will file a suit against bet Naija on his behalf Pro bono (free of charge). However, if I and my team recover the money he won.
