Betfair Requests Players Return Money

It might just be asking too much of online casinos gamblers who purposefully exploit a glitch in the Betfair poker rooms to then return the unfairly won funds. But even if it’s an impracticable request, that’s directly the first steps Betfair is taking to recover the more than GBP 100,000 in funds that were won by players who found a glitch in the company’s software and then maximized their winnings until the glitch was fixed. Alleging that the funds were unfairly and illegally won, Betfair is asking the 20-odd online casinos players to kindly return what isn’t theirs.

Now that all sounds a bit nice, but in fact, Betfair is serious about the issue that occurred just a few days past and has even gone so far as to accuse the online casinos players of “collusion: and then according to the Telegraph the company “[ordered] them to repay the money this week or face legal action.”

Betfair has not specified how the glitch happened or really any hardcore details on exactly how much was unfairly won at the online casinos poker rooms and how long the glitch was open for exploitation.

Betfair has begun to initially contact all of the online casinos players involved in the glitch to request that the players simply return the funds asap and the situation will be dropped. Betfair sees the actions of these 20 or so players as directly choosing to exploit glitch for enormous personal benefit. An email to one of the players commented that the games the gamblers were playing that night "were incorrectly set up to pay everyone involved in certain all-in situations and this was exploited by you and others to generate substantial returns in a short space of time. As I'm sure you can understand, the winnings received as a result of this exploitation must be returned."

Whether or not the online gamblers choose to just hand over the winnings remains to be seen though we’re willing to bet that there will be a few problems getting the more than GBP 100,000 back into Betfair’s hands.
