BEZBETS Betting Company has been arraigned in court at the Harare Magistrates Courts for allegedly defrauding a client of US$5 200 that he had won after playing a game.
The company is being represented by its Manager Robson Chinamasa.
He 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 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$5400, 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$5400.
However, the court heard that Chinamasa refused to make a payout of US$5400 and instead offered US$1 800.
The complainant, realising that he had been duped, filed a report with the police.
