A man won £1.7 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 £60,000 to stay quiet and sign a document promising never to talk about it. He said no.
– Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England.
– Just after midnight on January 26 2018 he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven.
– He played for five and a half hours straight.
– When he finally stopped the screen showed £1,722,500.24 in winnings.
– He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection.
– He went out that night and celebrated with his family. Spent £2,500 on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head.
– 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.
– Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid.
– Their offer was £60,000 but on one condition. He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened.
– He said no.
– He sued and the case went to the High Court in London.
– The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment.
– Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full £1.7 MILLION plus interest.
– Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally."
– Betfred apologised for the delay.
– They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the £60,000.

Wait! Please don't skip these candidates just yet. It is highly unlikely the applicants manually blocked you. When a mass email platform like Brevo lists a recipient as "blocked," it is typically a server-side rejection, not a personal action by the student.
major providers (Gmail/Outlook/yahoo), frequently block mass-sending IPs automatically to protect their users. The applicants likely never even saw the email.
Also, If your domain's SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are missing or slightly misconfigured, receiving servers will hard-bounce the email. Brevo often categorizes this hard bounce as a "block."
Brevo uses the term "blocked" as a catch-all for hard bounces, spam complaints triggered by automated security filters, or blacklisted shared IP addresses.
Try sending a standard, individual email directly from your normal email provider to those specific candidates rather than routing it through Brevo. They will very likely receive it please 🙏🏽
