A UK resident who won a large jackpot of £1.7 million will finally receive his winnings after three years. According to the court, Betfred, a cutting-edge online casino and sports betting platform operator, had illegally withheld his winnings. Having fought for a long time for the right to get his winnings, the Lincolnshire gambler finally got his way.

This story dates back to 2018, when Andy Inexperienced decided to have fun playing some of Betfred's blackjack options available for mobile devices. After spending about £2,500 on bets, he won that life-changing £1.7 million prize. However, a few days later, Betfred.com representatives announced that there was a system failure on their website and therefore any winnings from their games had to be voided. Feeling that he was cheated, Andy decided to fight for his right to get his winnings. Remarkably, Betfred made an exclusive offer of £60,000 if the player did not go public with the case.
Although the £60,000 offer looked promising, Inexperienced decided to continue his fight by suing the operator. Although Betfred representatives claimed the winnings were voided due to a software glitch, a situation stipulated in the terms and conditions on their website, the judge proved unforgiving. Alison Foster, the courtroom judge ordered the operator to pay the winnings, arguing that Betfred were using unclear and vague wording in their user agreement. So, Andy Inexperienced not only received his winnings, but also an apology from Betfred for the delayed cashout.
