Betfred vs £1.7 million

[slotsofvegas]

In the news today , a story about Betfred refusing to pay £1.7 million on a Frankie Dettori Magic Seven blackjack jackpot for the last 4 years, due to a software glitch.

Now going to the high court , the sum is up to 2 million with interest.

apparently Betfred were congratulating the man for a week before they refused the payout due to a malfunction in Playtech’s software.

However, the player’s lawyers are sure that in Betfreds terms and conditions they cannot withold payment for Playtech’s malfunction.

Also the player was offered 60000 as compensation with an NDA, but he refused.

Will be interesting to see the outcome.

What exactly is the malfunction? There was a jackpot, he won it. Not as if it flashed up saying the bloke won 170million.

Or is the malfunction that it paid the jackpot out on the Monday, not the pre-determined Thursday?

We have evidence, not we don't but we've been informed there is some, but it's top secret. But it exists, honestly Guv'nor.

Edit - i read the story as Mr Green had been trying to get to the bottom of it and thought, 'Ah, that's nice, another casino's helping him!
