You should read the terms and conditions of this promotion. You will see that you would have the opportunity to have the matter in your country justice court.

You are always hoping it wont reach at this point. You will need to invest money and time which doesnt always worth it. In this situation it does, but i doubt there is the time for it. WSOP starts next month, and courts are know for the speedy process

You are right about the WSOP however there is still 12.5K maybe it is not worth it this is what these peoples are thinking.
The guy wont spend money to sue us we have the money but he does not. I don't know about England but here we have a small claim court which does not cost much and you even don't need a lawyer you can do it yourself.

If the evidence is on your side, u should always sue, no matter if u have money at that exact moment or dont, u can work out any kind of deal with your lawyer, if the case is sure stuff, he knows he will get his money, so dont worry bout the money, what u need to worry about is, making your case iron clad strong, and dont worry bout a thing

There is no case to answer. This is simply just a graphics issue. Maybe there was a hiccup between servers, for a millisecond, and then this happens. Like I said on the other thread:
1) It is quite common 2) They will have T and C saying they aren't liable 3) No court in the land is ever going to side against 888 on this issue

Since it landed there, they need to honor it and give him the prize. Who cares if it is a problem between servers or any other technical problem. They need to resolve such problems, before going live with the competition.
Otherwise it can keep landing on that prize, or anyone else if that matters, claiming a technical problem every time and at the end awarding the prize to the one they want.

I think the deadline expired and we dont see any news for it.
host85 its not that he hasnt received any info about it so far. He has won the package for the WSOP and they told him that the actual prize was tickets. And now he is waiting for them to look into it. Well actually we are all waiting for them to look into it

I just read again the terms and conditions of this promotion and it is very clear. It says that if there is a difference between the Vegas Roller and the congrats pop up message the correct prize will be the one show on the congrats pop up message.
And it is to bad but this is the case here so he did not win to bad.

If the terms are like pinotte says then he hasnt won the prize. But this is just a silly excuse. Either remove the first part or the second. Why you are leaving it this way?
I didnt get his hopes up. I just said what it seems right. The wheel was first and thats the prize he should have got.
