The trial of betting company, Bezbets, on allegations of defrauding a client of US$5 200 he had won after playing a game, was last Friday adjourned to December 27 for a possible trial date.
Bezbets is represented by its manager Mr Robson Chinamasa. Mr Chinamasa pleaded not guilty on behalf of the company to fraud charges when he initially appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Simon Kandiyero. Prosecuting, Ms Faith Mavhudzi alleged that on October 26 and on the Bezbets online platform, the complainant placed a bet on the roulette with a stake of US$394. The platform gave him a potential win of US$5 400, provided the bet was won. But after winning, the company refused to pay him, and engaged him with a view to pay him US$1 800.
Last week, Bezbets made a counter report against the same punter whom they allegedly defrauded, but the matter was declined prosecution during the vetting process due to poor evidence.
