Losers big win at Betfair Poker
Posted on 29-01-2008 | Posted in Poker by Gambling Diva
Betfair Pokerroom is now asking the money back, which was given to the punters even if they lost, as the software appeared to have an error.
Betfair Poker doubled punters’ cash, disregarding who won and who lost and the sum ended up being £1.7 million in total.
As soon as Betfair users spotted the fault, they started raking in hundreds of thousands of pounds.
It took Betfair three hours to spot the error, by then everyone who lost were given prizes as well as the top two winners of the poker .
Betfair tried to get the cash back from the punters, but most of them claimed to have spent it already.
Betfair Poker spokesman said this: “We are aware of the allegations but are not commenting”.
