Sports gaming firm Betika has resumed full operations after Germany’s Bundesliga national soccer league reopened at the weekend.

The German football league confirmed Bundesliga resumption on May 16 after getting government approval but under strict conditions that do not allow fans to attend matches.

Bundesliga is the first league among Europe’s ‘Big Five’ leagues — Premier League (UK), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy) and Ligue 1 (France) to resume amid the Covid-19 outbreak that halted all sporting activities.

Speaking after Betika presented Sh6 million to the private sector-led Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund, Ms Arudo said it had been running virtual games and casino games on their online platform.
