They are just going to lose revenue coz guys will just use foreign betting companies. Nowadays all ATM cards are Visa/MasterCard enabled. Plus lots of other means of money transfer.I remember some years back you had to "order" a Visa ATM card coz the normal card only worked with your bank.

KOT has made betika to stop collecting that tax forthwith... Lol.

I don't think they have stopped deducting the tax.They have just re-adjusted their systems to show the correct gross winnings. Previously their systems were showing the winnings less 20% tax. So I believe what they intend to do now is to indicate the gross winnings on the betslips but deduct the tax during the pay outs.

If you are keen you will notice that after adjusting their systems, even the previous bets which were paid out less 20% tax are now indicating the gross winnings in the betslips.

Last night's Liverpool's match was trending embarrassingly for them. With odds of 1.15, a guy had placed a bet of 1000/= and Betika systems were showing that he stood to win 920/=.

You get the feeling that the taxman either has no clue of what he is doing or he is outrightly malicious.

A better tax regime should have been a 50% tax on the actual winnings rather than 25% on the gross winnings.

KOT should be blaming the government(Matiangi?) instead of blaming the Betting firms.

Meanwhile Sportpesa has suspended sports sponsorship.

Yes, they should refund if they want us back on their platform.

Yes. I had a running one with 5.4 but this came down to 3.65 due to 2 DNB {Leeds and Bournemouth} while Tokyo FC, Spurs and Parramatta Eels {rugby} came good. Was expecting 36.5k and that's what was being indicated bt they have credited 29.2k. They just did away with the calculation on site. Jinga sana
