Betting company Bezbets had its High Court application struck off the roll by Justice Siyabona Musithu. The company had sought to reinstate an appeal against punter Prosper Dembedza, to whom they denied winnings of over US$5,000.

Bezbets owner Benard Zieve argued that the company name was non-existent and he was solely responsible for disputes. However, Dembedza’s lawyer Peter Patisani successfully argued that Bezbets’ application was flawed due to failure to address prospects of success.

Bezbets was ordered to pay Dembedza’s legal costs. This ruling follows a March 2024 decision by a Harare magistrate ordering Bezbets to pay a US$500 fine for defrauding Dembedza, who won US$5,400 on a roulette bet but was offered only US$1,800.
