Hm, strange to see this occurring on a blackjack game. Normally slots you get the malfunction issue. That being said, it can obviously happen on any game. I’ve certainly had some visually misleading blackjack games in the past.

A £60k settlement offer is quite significant, he’s either a very good customer there, or they really don’t want this case to go any further. Perhaps he should’ve taken the offer and signed the NDA – now he’s breached that, they certainly won’t be making another offer like that. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t proved to be a malfunction in court, but time will tell!

You get malfunctions occasionally where it looks like you got a win but no win happened, but I’ve never heard of one where you’re actually awarded the win in your account only for it to be voided days later. That smells like the glitch, if there really even was one, was in the probability of a jackpot win occurring rather than the punter’s hit not being a win. And if that’s what happened, his win should be honoured. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out, but either way it certainly puts me off ever making a flutter at Betfred! Like the guy says, you never hear of losses being refunded due to these supposed glitches.

I know when I won a progressive jackpot (£25k), it took me ages to get my money from Ladbrokes as they were doing checks to make sure it was a genuine payout. I can see how a malfunction could happen that would result in a payout, but I feel they’d have to have some strong evidence to support this. And if it is the game that turns out to be faulty, due to poor programming or quality control, then the provider must be held accountable, rather than Betfred themselves.

Imagine if he ends up getting the full jackpot amount, what a rollercoaster of a ride that’d be for him! I must say, I do feel awfully sorry for him. Imagine seeing that win, then seeing your balance and then being told a few days later that it was a glitch and it’s been voided. Suicidal man.

I find this one suspicious, it needs more investigating by the UK gambling commission imo.. Hopefully they do there job.

It surprises me because they congratulated him for more than a day, it seems from what I read, and it would cost him a fair few bucks for decent representation.

The guys a gambler, hes been at it for years which makes them less likely to pay out, Imo. Thinking he’d take the 60k, and they know the risks for rewards.

Situ justs sucks all round, glitch or no.

Also the devils in the detail, when playing these virtual computer games, my advice for big players is to always play live casino games.

I stopped using betfred years ago when they banned my account using any sort of promotion simply for using the promotions they gave me. It’s funny how when the bookies lose a few hundred quid they don’t like it.

This one doesn’t make sense.

 

How did his account go from 3 quid slowly to 600k then to 1.7mil.

 

I don’t get it. This game can pay 7777x. 3 quid at that stake is (off the top of my head) 23k? And it’s from a sidebet so that’s not the main game either. If you bet 2 quid on your hand and 1 on the sidebar your winning 7k… not 1.7mil. The game was clearly flawed on playtech’s end here.

Yeah I noticed that in the story too, but I just put it down to the Daily Mail’s incompetence or miscommunication!
