A Bet365 account in the name of McCann, who was a 19-year-old student at the time, placed a stake of 💶 almost £25,000 on 12 horses running in races at Bath, Kempton Park and Naas on 22 June 2024. Bet365 accepted 💶 the bets – a combined total of 960 £13 each-way Lucky 15s – which were mostly successful and returned a 💶 total payout of £984,833.

However, Bet365 refused to pay the winnings, claiming the original stake for the bets had been provided 💶 by a third party in contravention of the firm’s terms and conditions. It also refused to refund the £25,000 stake.

McCann 💶 launched a legal action against Bet365 two years ago and the latest in a series of court dates working towards 💶 a full hearing of the case was scheduled for Friday morning.
