SportPesa canceled its Mega Jackpot primarily due to the postponement of a significant number of French Ligue 1 football matches.
This decision was made necessary because roughly half of the French Ligue 1 fixtures scheduled for that particular weekend were called off. The widespread postponements were a direct consequence of a series of violent protests that had occurred in major French cities over the preceding three weekends. As these matches form a crucial part of the selection pool for the Mega Jackpot, their cancellation rendered the jackpot unfeasible to proceed as planned.
The integrity and operational viability of the SportPesa Mega Jackpot rely on a full slate of predetermined football matches. When a substantial portion of these matches cannot take place, the betting firm must adjust by either canceling or restructuring the jackpot to ensure fairness and adherence to its rules.
