The UK’s High Court sided with sports betting and gambling company Flutter Entertainment in a landmark case that concluded on Friday (November 15). The case came about after a man in the UK sued the company’s Betfair brand and its TSE Malta holding company in 2021 for over £1.4 million (roughly $1.7M) in losses. He alleged the brand knew he was a problem gambler and they failed to take appropriate steps to protect him from losing money. It was between 1 November 2009 and 11 April 2019 when the man lost £1,480,728.84 gambling on the outcome of sporting events, he then sought to recover the greater part of those losses from Betfair. The hearing dates spanned several days in July of this year, with the High Court Judge Bird now sharing the 46-page judgment.
