The battle for the control of betting giant SportPesa between its billionaire shareholders has intensified. The investigation into Pevans’ dealings had also roped in two Bulgarian shareholders who have since been deported, said Ndung’u. On November 1, Karauri announced that the giant sports betting company SportPesa had made a comeback after closing shop last year, and would resumed operations under a new BCLB licence. “As SportPesa plans to return to the market armed with a court order, SportPesa is back! I’m happy to announce that the SportPesa brand is back under a new BCLB licence holder,” said Karauri at the time.
