Monrovia – The management of Starbet, a new sports betting company in Liberia is demanding the immediate release of its terminals ceased by the National Lottery Authority (NLA). The Starbet management said the NLA’s action was in violation of the Act establishing the NLA and warned the authority will be held responsible for any loss the entity will incurred. It continued: “In view of the above, we are kindly requesting the immediate release of our terminals so that we can continue providing services to our customers without further interruptions. We also reserve rights to hold those responsible for any direct or indirect loss of business.”It can be recalled in March, NLA vindicated StarBet over allegation that the company fraudulently and illegally entered the Liberia’s lottery sector. The Inquirer Newspaper in March quoted NLA’s Spokesperson Preston Gayflor as saying the company has gone through all of the legal formalities and has been cleared and licensed by NLA to operate as a legal and legitimate sports betting company in Liberia as required by law.
