Nigerians are currently calling out popular betting site, Sporty Bet NG/Nigeria over cases of scam and bank account insecurities. The complaints are too many and Sporty Bet seems not to be doing anything about it for two days now. 

Nigerians have taken to their various Twitter pages to complain over scam activities and illegal reduction of money from their bank accounts. Nigerians who linked their bank account details on Sporty Bet NG platforms are complaining of illegal money reduction from their bank account details.

it is obvious this is an inhouse scam from the organisation.....and when you call customer service they are very unhelpful and very evasive which makes it more suspicious.......#fraud #scam #securitybreach #Sportybetscam

I was a victim of #sportybetscam on my @gtbank account last year during the corona lockdown. I found out sportybet has history of defrauding customers via ATM cards. Nigeria banks are their accomplice, how will a transaction be done successfully on a ATM card without the OTP.

My @sportybetng profile was edited and the withdrawal account changed twice with the space of 12 minutes without the reset code sent to my phone. #Sportybetscam

#Sportybetscam I was Debited on a failed transaction by @gtbank while funding my @sportybetng account. Until now it hasn’t reversed. #Gtb #Sportybetscam
