Jalloh, who previously won NLe200m (\u20ac10,000) in May, revealed he could have earned up to NLe1.6bn (\u20ac80,000) had he waited to cash out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/SIERRA-LEONE-WINNER.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10099\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mohamed Jalloh (right) receives his NLe546,000 prize from a Mercury International staff member.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalloh said: \u201cI cashed out early, that\u2019s why I wasn\u2019t able to win the full amount. No matter the amount you win, your money will be <strong>paid instantly<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that same week, Ko Ishmael, a businessman from Kambia District, pocketed <strong>NLe185,000 (\u20ac9,250) <\/strong>from a Red Box <strong>football bet<\/strong>. His ticket qualified for a 100 per cent bonus due to the high number of selections, doubling his prize. \u201cThis came as a total surprise. It was a risk bet, but it paid off in a big way and came at a crucial time in my life,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercury International&#8217;s Deputy Online Manager, Octavus Jackson, said, \u201cWe are paying every single winner for their winnings,\u201d emphasising the company&#8217;s commitment to <strong>fulfilling its payout obligations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has expanded across more than <strong>20 African countries<\/strong> and now serves over 800,000 players. Known for its transparency, prompt payouts and <strong>engaging promotions<\/strong>, the platform has steadily gained player confidence, with many praising it on social media, including Facebook, for its reliability and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These recent wins between September 18 and October 6, 2025, underscore Mercury International\u2019s <strong>growing influence<\/strong> in Sierra Leone\u2019s betting market. Thousands of players now engage daily with the platform\u2019s sports and lottery offerings, drawn by exciting promotions, <strong>fair play<\/strong> and life-changing prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/37a1eb24-ebe1-403f-be65-4b8c4d797b9e-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/paripesa-becomes-olympique-lyonnais-african-betting-partner'>PariPesa becomes Olympique Lyonnais African betting partner<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercury International is winning player confidence and making waves in Sierra Leone\u2019s growing betting market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2809,"featured_media":2704,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Mercury International, one of Sierra Leone's two licensed betting operators, is demonstrating significant market traction and player confidence through transparent operations, prompt payouts, and engaging promotions.
