Property tycoon, Lee Gibson of Leeds, England had attempted to sue betfair for £1.5 million he lost gambling on the platform in September, 2021. He lost. Now Gibson has taken his case to the appeals court arguing the Betfair should have seen that he had a gambling problem and should have intervened.

Do you think Mr. Gibson has a case worth fighting?

A rather interesting case can be found in the link below from Casino.org. 👇

People like this guy mentioned should learn some self responsibility. He deposited and lost that money so he should just live with it imo.

The Independent refers to him as multimillionaire so he can probably afford to lose some.
But I would be more concerned with what happens if he actually wins his case. That would probably set a precedent and gambling sites would become much more cautious, and maybe cut off some customers just in case, in fear of a future lawsuit.

If he had won $1.5 million, should Betfair have sued him? You played, you lost :you take responsibility for it!
But for some people, it’s like an illness... or who knows? Maybe he wanted to lose so he could win much more with the lawsuit!

I mean really..... if the sites block suspected problem gamblers they complain,

and if they let people play they complain too???, you can't have it both ways,

I'm not wasting tears on a multi millionaire, sorry not sorry
