British gambling giant Betfred is heading to the High Court later this month over the non-payment of a jackpot weighing in at more than £1.7 million.
Andy Green thought all his dreams had come true in January 2018 when he literally hit the jackpot in the Betfred online casino. Green, who hails from Lincoln, thought he’d won £1,722,923.54. Betfred representatives initially confirmed Green’s epic win, resulting in Green racking up a £2,500 bill celebrating with friends and family.
Green’s elation turned to despair four days after his apparent life-changing win when one of Betfred’s representatives contacted Green and informed him Betfred would not be honouring the jackpot.
