Over 700 Gala Bingo players jumped for joy when they were informed that they had won a slice of a jackpot while playing during the operator\u2019s recent \u201cSummer Nights Bingo\u201d promotion. The prize pool reportedly had mistakenly reached \u00a31.6m ($2.2m) instead of the usual \u00a3150 ($203) or so, with some people winning as much as \u00a318,000 ($24,404).<\/p>\n

Their happiness turned to despair the following day when they learned that a glitch in the site meant that they actually hadn\u2019t won anything. One player from Wales told the Manchester Evening News <\/em>that he got a message saying that 797 of the approximately 1,200 players were eligible for runner-up prizes. Adam Wall won three separate sums of \u00a32,400 ($3,254), and quickly withdrew the \u00a37,200 ($9,762).<\/p>\n

His plan was to use the money to marry his partner of ten years. Upon waking up the next day, he saw that his Gala account was closed and his \u00a37,200 ($9,762) was nowhere to be seen. After reaching out to the operator, it confirmed that a technical glitch caused the misallocation of jackpot wins.<\/p>\n

terms and conditions state that it can void winnings when there\u2019s a malfunction<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wall said that he\u2019s been \u201cfrustrated, disappointed, down about things and low\u201d after getting the news. Gala Bingo credited him with \u00a350 ($68) for his troubles, with a spokesperson telling media that its terms and conditions state that it can void winnings when there\u2019s a malfunction. It gave a \u201cgesture of goodwill\u201d to impacted players for the misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
