Betfred to pay £1.7m after software glitch

Regulation

Betfred has been ordered to pay a punter £1.7m. Andrew Green, 54, has won a claim against Betfred’s refusal to pay the jackpot he won online.

Andrew Green, 54, from Lincolnshire, said he was devastated and felt as though he had been “robbed” Betfred told him it would not pay out following his win in 2018 because of a “defect” in the game.

He brought legal action against the firm at the High Court in London on Wednesday, a judge ruled in his favour. Betfred apologised for the delay and said it would not contest the ruling.
