A man won ยฃ1.7 MILLION playing blackjack online at 1am. The casino called the next morning to congratulate him. Then called back two days later to say there was a software glitch and they were keeping the money. They offered him ยฃ60,000 to stay quiet and sign a document promising never to talk about it. He said no.
โ Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England.
โ Just after midnight on January 26 2018 he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven.
โ He played for five and a half hours straight.
โ When he finally stopped the screen showed ยฃ1,722,500.24 in winnings.
โ He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection.
โ He went out that night and celebrated with his family. Spent ยฃ2,500 on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head.
โ Monday morning he called back. They said the win was so large it needed to be sent to the game provider Playtech for verification. Standard procedure they said.
โ Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid.
โ Their offer was ยฃ60,000 but on one condition. He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened.
โ He said no.
โ He sued and the case went to the High Court in London.
โ The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment.
โ Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full ยฃ1.7 MILLION plus interest.
โ Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally."
โ Betfred apologised for the delay.
โ They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the ยฃ60,000.
A man won ยฃ1.7 MILLION at 1am, spent ยฃ2,500 celebrating before the money arrived, then spent three years in court to collect what was already his.
