Andy Green said he had won the jackpot while playing a blackjack game from bookmaker Betfred
Andy Green, from Lincolnshire, scooped the prize in January 2018 while playing a blackjack game on his phone.High Court judge Mrs Justice Foster ruled in Mr Green's favour and said the company had no grounds for withholding payment. "But today, I feel like the world has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel so incredibly happy and relieved - for me, my family and my legal team.Betfred apologised for the delay in Mr Green receiving his money and said it would not appeal against the ruling.Speaking in 2018, he said he had gone "absolutely crazy" after scooping the jackpot on the Frankie Dettori Magic Seven Blackjack game.
In her ruling, Mrs Justice Foster said when he later contacted Betfred they "did not seek at this point to suggest other than that he was a big winner".
Been following this story for a while and was intrigued on how it would end. Brilliant result and chuffed for the bloke!!

NAUGHTY Betfair ! same goes for WilliamHill i had a few quid on 0 on Your Roulette game, looked up to see how much I'd won, nothing appeared in account ,looked back at table n watched in amazement as table started spinning again and ball popped out n went to another number !
Can’t understand why anyone plays these games, betting companies control the computers that generate winning lines so anyone can only win what they want you to.
Good on him. Bookies are happy taking people’s money yet not so keen when they lose fair and square.
Good on you mate. I never bet myself. Never will. My dad had trouble collecting winnings from william hill. They are all the same.
these online 'casino' games are for Mugs nice when it backfires 😂😂😂
Good on him. Don’t gamble it away though!
Av that ya pricks
Rightly so!
Is this the app based betting companies confirming that the casino games are rigged? The software was designed not to pay out the jackpot but keep collecting the bets. I wonder how much Betfred has made on this one game? Its not gambling its donating.
Good. I bet they didn't offer to refund all losing stakes placed during the glitch
He won it three years ago, the courts just tell the thief of a company they have to pay up.
Bookies.... Happy to take your hard earned. Always looking for a way out when the payout is big.
