Sportpesa reveals why it canceled mega jackport hours to kickoff

Related imageMost gamblers had on Friday evening thought that the sportpesa mega jackpot had been leaked , resulting to the Kenyan betting company calling off the weekend jackpot.

Authorities have cancelled this weekend’s match between St Etienne and Olympique de Marseille – two of France’s biggest teams – as concerns mount that anti-government demonstrations this weekend could turn violent.

France’s Ligue 1 body said yesterday that the match had been cancelled at the request of local police.

The cancellation of the St Etienne-Marseille match follows similar decisions to scrap Monaco’s local derby against Nice and tomorrow’s clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier.

However the Betting firm SportPesa has announced the reason for the  cancellation of its weekend’s Mega Jackpot.

The decision came after half of this weekend’s French Ligue 1 football matches were postponed following a series of violent protests that have been held in major French cities over the past three weekends against a rise in fuel tax.

“Due to unrest in France, three Ligue 1 games that were in the #SportPesaMegaJackpot have been postponed. In line with our Terms and Conditions, the Mega Jackpot has been cancelled,” read part of the statement.

The statement further added that all its customers who had placed bets on the Mega Jackpot will get a full refund.

“All bets will be refunded in full. The new Mega Jackpot will be released next week,” the statement added.

The affected Mega jackpot Ligue 1 matches are; Angers vs Bordeaux, Nimes vs Nantes and St. Etienne vs Marseille.
