Our expert betting and gaming solicitors act for individuals who have been victims of a breach of contract on behalf of a betting operator, including circumstances where they have successfully won from the operator, but who has subsequently failed to ‘pay out’.

We can assist individuals in the recovery of winnings from betting operators who have failed or refused to pay out to the individual. The operator’s failure to pay out could be the result of a number of different reasons, these can include anti-money laundering considerations, social responsibility or responsible gambling considerations, or an alleged breach of the operator’s various and extensive terms and conditions.

Due to the incredibly complex nature of such gambling disputes, and the sophistication of the operators’ knowledge of their own terms and conditions, it’s vital to obtain highly expert legal advice in order to successfully resolve these types of disputes as quickly and effectively as possible.

Resolving breach of contract betting disputes

Wherever possible, we always seek to resolve betting disputes by negotiation with the betting operator. In many cases, disputes can be resolved in the most time and cost-efficient way by doing so and avoiding further legal action.There are, however, occasions when court action is necessary. In these instances, our professional betting, gambling and gaming solicitors will provide an extremely robust and efficient presentation of your case, in order to achieve the best result possible for you.

We understand that the key aim of such claims is to recover an individual’s entire rightful winnings as quickly as possible. Therefore, we look to act swiftly and efficiently to achieve this.
