UKGC says Ladbrokes misled it in Black Dave case probe

Published

on

The UK Gambling Commission clarified that the betting company Ladbrokes misled it during the investigation into the Black Dave case. The case in question was closed yesterday. But UKGC has warned the bookmakers of the need to be more careful when handling Rule 4 deductions in horse racing.

Back in 2017, the trainer David Evans faced a monetary penalty under the ruling body of the local racing industry for delaying notifications of a non-runner, Tango Sky. According to investigation findings, this provided him with the chance to back Black Dave, the other entrant, before its odds shortened. At the time of placing his bet, Evans also told Ladbrokes that he planned to withdraw Tango Sky.

Ladbrokes, on its turn, had claimed that three years after the event, it could not be sure of the reason why the odds of Tango Sky were reduced shortly after David Evans had made his bet. However, the UK gambling regulatory body managed to find evidence that the bookmaker did so in order to boost the deductions made from winning bets already placed under Rule 4.

As revealed by the Commission, Ladbrokes had failed to properly review the entire information available before it provided what was called inaccurate explanations by the watchdog.

The Commission insisted that gambling operators must take into account what had happened in the Black Dave case and Ladbrokes’ actions and reminded them that the viability of the sector in the long-term was based mainly on customer trust. The watchdog further explained that it would continue to monitor the situation and if necessary, t would consider exercising its formal regulatory powers on both the bookmaker that is in breach and the industry as a whole.

Despite the fact that the UK Gambling Commission found certain failings of the company in terms of the above-mentioned case, Ladbrokes still escaped punishment, due to the fact that its actions were not categorised as a violation of the licence conditions or code of conduct set by the UKGC in terms of the proper application of Rule 4.

In addition, the British bookmaker was given credit for the fact that it brought the case to the attention of the local racing regulatory body on the very same day of the race. At the time of the investigation, it also became clear that the operator saved only ÂŁ7.70 by cutting the price of Tango Sky in the race which did not bring it much of a turnover.

The bookmaker issued a statement on the matter, saying that the company’s initial understanding of what had happened at the time when the price was changed turned out incorrect, but this had only become evident when the case was reviewed in depth. What is more, the company also explained that the reduction of Tango Sky’s odds contradicted to its trading policy at the time and shared that its traders had already been warned about that.

As a result, the UK Gambling Commission has provided more information about the manner in which all gambling operators are expected to apply Rule 4.

From $12 to $54,719: The Story of a Big Win at Betandyou!

Published

on

There are thousands of bets placed on Betandyou every single day. Some place small bets, some go big, and sometimes someone hits a win that stands out from everything else.

That’s exactly what happened this November – one of our players placed just $12 and hit a life-changing $54,719 payout!

What Happened Before the Big Win

It all started like any ordinary bet. Football filled the screens – Manchester, Barcelona, Milan, Porto.

The player with ID 6301********, a part of our community since June 2023, opened the Betandyou app and placed his usual pick. No big stake. No drama. Just a regular moment of excitement for the game.

The Four Predictions That Changed Everything

A $12 accumulator and four football matches. Most impressively, exact score predictions – something you don’t see every day and a true sign of confidence. And here’s how the night unfolded:

  • Manchester City – Bournemouth: 3–1
  • Barcelona – Elche: 3–1
  • Milan – Roma: 1–0
  • Porto – Braga: 2–1

One by one, the results started to fall into place. The first two games, perfect 3:1 calls. Then Milan held Roma to 1:0. And finally, Porto sealed it with a 2:1 win. Four matches. Four exact scores.

4560 Odds: A Moment You Can’t Predict

  • Total odds? 4560.
  • The payout? That’s $54,719!

When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the screen told a story we don’t see every day, the kind of win that makes your heart skip a beat and your hands tremble just a little before hitting “Check balance.” That’s the kind of moment every bettor dreams about, when the impossible suddenly becomes reality.

CEO Betandyou: Official Comment

“Wins like this always draw attention,” says the CEO of Betandyou. “But what excites us even more is the story behind it. Our players don’t just bet, they feel the game. They analyze, they take risks, they follow their passion. This win isn’t just luck; it’s the perfect mix of intuition, strategy, and a love for football. At Betandyou, we live for moments like these, because every big win starts with a small belief.”

More Than Just Numbers

This player has been with us for more than a year, and this time their loyalty, patience, and boldness paid off in the best possible way. It’s not really about the amount – it’s about that feeling when your choices turn into something real. When your screen lights up and you realize that yes, you just did that.

At Betandyou, that magic happens every day, sometimes quietly, sometimes spectacularly. But one thing is certain: there’s always another story waiting to be written.

So who knows? Maybe the next headline will be yours.
Stay in the game with Betandyou!

BetBlocker Surpasses a Quarter of a Million Active Users in 2025

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Gambling harm prevention charity BetBlocker has today announced that it has supported a quarter of a million unique active users this year.
BetBlocker, which provides blocking software to help people manage or restrict their access to online gambling services, is unique in adopting a charitable model for this type of support, and facilitating users accessing protection both free of charge and anonymously.

This year has seen an explosion in uptake of the service, with strong uptake globally, with Brazil, the UK, the US, Romania, Canada, Kenya and South Africa showing the highest levels of engagement.

BetBlocker’s Founder and Managing Trustee, Duncan Garvie had this to say:

“We invested a lot in 2024 improving our data, to allow us to communicate accurately the performance of our project to our supporters, and to build confidence via transparency. That’s meant ensuring that our data is exactly what we say it is and a focus on making our data easy to understand. We don’t talk about downloads. The number would be higher, but far less meaningful. When we talk about “active users” it means “users with an active BetBlocker restriction in 2025.”

I’ve been blown away by the rate of growth that BetBlocker has seen this year. We would never have imagined that this type of growth was possible at the start of the year, but the rapid and sustained upward trend strongly evidences that there is a huge need for free and anonymous support for gambling harm.

That uptake is distributed so broadly across the globe also demonstrates how universal the need for support managing access to online gambling services is in the digital age.”
