Gambler wins £1M payout from online game vendor in High Court case

Is the court ruling available to see?<p>I feel like there are details missing. What happened to those who &quot;really&quot; won the jackpot according to the random number generator? What did the UI show then? Did everyone who won the smaller jackpot actually win the big jackpot? What are the technical details of the glitch?<p>Based on this incomplete information I&#x27;d say a total audit of the system should be carried out.

This is nowhere near the title <i>Gardener wins case against Paddy Power over £1m prize</i>, nor is it a fair summary of the case.<p>&quot;Gardener wins what online game told her she won&quot;<p>&quot;Gambling app fails to prove software bug obviates their obligation to pay&quot;

Interesting note:<p>&gt; which had affected 14 plays over 48 days.<p>That rather implies the so-called &quot;daily jackpot&quot; isn&#x27;t even won every day.

As it should be, otherwise these on-line gambling sites will be able to game the system at anytime.

Huh. What&#x27;s the source of truth here? How do we know what anybody has won or not won?<p>Can I create an iPad screenshot of myself winning a Monster Jackpot, and then be awarded a Monster Jackpot?
