“A ticket worth 210 odds was shared on Twitter and thousand of tweets played and won using the 22Bet platform.

“Many people experienced difficulty when trying to withdraw their winnings and this led to 22Bet being called out for not paying up as some users didn’t believe the company could pay out all those winnings.

“We gathered that many people who couldn’t access their winnings thought we can’t pay.

“We maintain that 22Bet Nigeria is more than capable of paying out all winnings no matter the sum.
