Ironically, Star Sports is being sued by a millionaire over £100,000 losses.
A “gambling berserk” millionaire who lost more than £100,000 in a betting spree is suing a “luxury” bookmaker for allegedly failing to protect him from his addiction.
Scott O’Brien earned a fortune through a recycling business, but told a judge that he had been obsessed with “dark and destructive” gambling throughout adulthood.
He claimed that the addiction had once driven him to attempt suicide, in a legal claim that comes just days after regulators hit the UK’s biggest bookmaker with a record fine. The Gambling Commission ordered William Hill to pay £19.2 million because of a series of “widespread and alarming” failures to protect customers from substantial losses.
In O’Brien’s case, the former businessman has told a court that his gambling habit worsened after he sold his Essex-based paper recycling business, Pulp Friction, for £9 million in 2012. At one point he stashed £1 million in cash at the bottom of his wardrobe.
He is suing Star Sports after wagering more than £400,000 at the company’s main betting shop in Mayfair, west London.
The businessman, 54, told the hearing that he lost £48,859 on dog and horse racing, and that gambling on betting terminals took his losses to more than £100,000.
In a claim to have his money returned, the gambler’s lawyers say the company breached its duty to act in accordance with its “social responsibility code provisions”. They have told the court that some of O’Brien’s losses “were due to Star Sports’ failure to comply with the [code] applicable to its operating licence”.
O’Brien is also suing the bookmakers for breach of contract.
Star Sports is contesting the claim, with the company’s lawyers denying that the wealthy punter revealed that he had a problem. They insisted that “there is no general duty of care on a bookmaker to protect a gambling addict from the consequences of his addiction”.

Thanks WW, going to sit in the garden and listen to it now, bit of sun out..
So he was winning over a period of time, had a bad day and now wants those bad day losses back? Is he having a giraffe..?
Think he introduced some evidence which helped him, so he wanted that kept in, then he siad something that had a negative affect on his case, so he asked for that part back 
So if he had £9m in the bank and dropped £100k, that's 1/90 of his bank.
Same as having £900 in your bank and losing £10 .
Same as having £900 in your bank and losing £10 .
Cant believe the courts are giving it the time of day really...
