The Bet9ja brand's operators, KC Gaming Networks, have had their operations shut down by the Enugu State Government. The shutdown, according to the government, was the result of alleged ongoing infractions of the Enugu State Gaming and Lottery Law. 

According to the DAILY POST, the Enugu State Gaming and Lotto Commission executed the enforcement action in response to a court order from the Enugu State High Court. 

In the case dated 6/54/2025 between KC Gaming Networks and the Enugu State Gaming and Lottery Commission, the High Court of Enugu State gave the commission permission to seal the betting company.

Prince Arinze Arum, the Commission's Executive Secretary, told reporters following the exercise that the closure was the result of the state's persistent attempts to get the operator to comply.

“We are here to enforce compliance with the Enugu State Gaming and Lottery Law. Over time, we have had several communications with KC Gaming Networks concerning their infractions and regulatory breaches,” Arum said.

Arum revealed that the business disregarded many warnings, administrative notifications, and pleadings from the commission, especially with matters of license revalidation, unpaid fees, and other legal requirements. 

He added that Bet9ja's operations in the state have been completely shut down as a result of the enforcement action.
