Following the win, he extended his overdraft and invested more than \u20a4 2,500 commemorating with friends and family.<\/p>\n

In her ruling, Mrs Justice Foster said when he later contacted Betfred they “did not seek at this moment to suggest other than that he was a big winner”.<\/p>\n

Mr Green stated he felt like he had actually been kicked and had his “withins ripped out” after receiving the call.<\/p>\n

Betfred had argued that the software glitch, which stopped the video game from resetting properly while Mr Green was playing, was covered under the terms of the video game.<\/p>\n

However, Mrs Justice Foster ruled that the wording of the provisions trust was “insufficient”, and “not transparent or fair and Betfred were not entitled to rely upon them”.<\/p>\n

A Betfred representative<\/a> said: “Mr Green won the jackpot 3 times whilst playing a game supplied by among our third-party suppliers.<\/p>\n

“The provider reported a software application<\/a> issue to us and recommended that we must withhold payment.<\/p>\n
