Why SportPesa has cancelled Mega Jackpot, hours to kick-off

The cold weather and snow has affected a number of matches

Sportpesa Mega Jackpot has been cancelled.

According to a press statement released on Saturday afternoon, the betting firm said the cancellation was due to the postponement of three matches on their Mega jackpot.

 “Dear esteemed customers. The SportPesa Mega Jackpot has been cancelled due to three postponed games,” reads part of the statement.

It further added that all customers who placed bets on the Mega Jackpot will get full refund.

“All Mega Jackpot bets placed will be refunded in full as per our Terms and Conditions. New MJP will be released next week,” added the statement.

The affected Mega jackpot matches are Accrington Stanley v Blackpool, Cheltenham Town v Cambridge United and Port Vale v Tranmere Rovers.

Cold weather and snow has hit UK, causing cancellation of lower league and non-league matches.

So far, no matches in the Premier League or Championship have been called off.
