England and Wales appeal court rejects £1.5m claim against Betfair
The Court of Appeal dismissed Lee Gibson’s £1.5m claim against Betfair for a second time, upholding the earlier finding that the operator did not know and could not reasonably have known he was a problem gambler. The court said the first judge had considered the relevant evidence; the source gives no further details of the appeal outcome.
The ruling addresses the evidence relevant to operators’ responsibility for identifying problem gambling among customers.
