Betfair demand return of money from poker coup
by Graham Green
BETFAIR are calling for the return of winnings from online poker players after falling victim to what would appear to have been a late-night sting operation that resulted in the firm making overpayments estimated between £500,000 and £4 million this month.
The betting exchange, despite a refusal to publicly acknowledge the coup, emailed a number of account holders, accused them of collusion in exploiting what was a previously unsuspected systems glitch, and set a deadline earlier this week for the return of the money.
One punter, who won more than £101,000 and is known to the Racing Post, has refused to repay more than £55,000 and is threatening legal action after being prevented from accessing the balance.
The software flaw, which has since been corrected, resulted in players in sit and go tournaments on Betfair's poker site being paid out in error “in certain ‘All In' situationsâ€
