Rich Ricci now appears to have been working behind the scenes to get a fair deal for the firm’s customers
Rich Ricci, the former chairman of the defunct internet bookmaker BetBright, said on Friday that he is “delighted that we have found a solution”, which guarantees that all outstanding ante-post bets with the firm will now be honoured by BetVictor.
BetBright sold its technology platform to rival firm 888.com in early March for £15m, but its outstanding liabilities on bets already placed with the firm were not included in the deal. While 888.com agreed to honour bets on the Cheltenham Festival in mid-March, it declined to take on ante-post bets on the football season, which were believed to have a potential total liability of around £1m depending on results.
