Users of Kenya’s sports betting platform mCheza have been in panic for more than 17 hours following an outage on the servers hosting its USSD platform, making them unable to bet or get compensated for their successful bets.

As the players were waiting for the firm announce the Ksh 21m Jackpot winners, the firm announced, “Dear Esteemed Customer, Safaricom servers are currently unavailable and have made the content of this website inaccessible. mCHEZA and Safaricom teams are working on it. The Jackpot draw will be announced as soon as the servers resume normal service.”

However, most of the users didn’t believe the notice and thought mCheza is out to cheat them.

On Facebook, a user, Eurry Mabonga complained, “It’s really baad to be given some 300 for 10/13. I rather shift to Sportpesa n Betway who have better incentives. This outright robbery with violence.”

Other users added, “Irunch Wachira nipatieni namba ya julie gichuru. i want to talk to the boss directly.”

David Adawo, “Since the Lazio-Palermo game jana bado system imejam. Kwani mnataka kufuata chase bank??? Ni kubaya round hii, pesa zetu twazitaka enyi. I call ua office and some rude guy tells me he doesn’t knw wen the system will be back. #wewantourmoney.”

Mercy Cheboi Chepkoech,” The best thing is to shift to Sportpesa,best gambling site mmngekuwa bonuses zenu.”

Jephshun Kiragu, “This tym mcheza hawana bahati..their bets odds were very predictable thus winners ni most sana..if u could have bet na odds zao ungepata 12/13.thts explains why system zimestuka ju this tym ni negative rather than usuall deposits.”

Operated by Julie Gichuru’s Acumen Communications, mCheza promises its users that it’s ”robust, secure, trust-worthy and professionally managed gaming platform for sports betting” with a passion for nurturing local sports talent but people opposed to it say the Gichuru family is out to clean its suspiciously acquired money throughout the political regimes in Kenya.
