The Betting Control and Licensing Board has once again suspended the operations of former Kenyan Premier League (KPL) sponsor SportPesa.
The gaming firm had just started trading after announcing its return on Friday, but the latest government move will see its services cease from operations.
The board has claimed Milestone Games Limited, which had started using the SportPesa domains, had been registered separately and thus the use of the banned company’s platform must stop forthwith.
