The anger among punters over BetBright’s decision to void all outstanding ante-post bets shows little sign of abating
Three days on from the sale of BetBright’s technology platform to rival gambling firm 888.com, the anger among punters over BetBright’s subsequent decision to shut down its operation immediately and void all outstanding ante-post bets shows little sign of abating.
Rich Ricci, BetBright’s former executive chairman as well as a leading National Hunt owner, told the Guardian on Wednesday that the deal with 888.com was an “unusual transaction”, and so it was. 888.com previously had its own tech for gaming, bingo and poker, but not for betting. As a result, it had an interest in a very specific part of BetBright’s operation: the betting tech, but not the betting customers or their outstanding bets and potential liabilities.
