I won an arcade jackpot - £97,572.68

Brilliant!! Well done mate! Put £95000 aside for two weeks before you decide.

Please dont blow it on karp!

Thanks Klup, I have put most of it away.
Booked a holiday straight away and bought a few new toys.
Nothing massive yet.

Wow - that's amazing.

Congratulations.

I hope that you enjoy spending the money.

I wrote the press release about this...."Suffolk man wins £97k from £1"

Well done again.....can't believe it was you!




A GRADUATE from the University of Birmingham has won a life changing £97,623.18 while playing an online slot machine on Betfair.

The 27-year-old Suffolk native scooped the enormous sum by hitting the jackpot on the site’s Alice’s Wonderland game, just 36 seconds into his playing session.

He commented: “I usually just stick to poker, but I decided to have a quick spin whilst watching the football. I was stunned to find out that I’d hit the jackpot, but now I’m already planning the holiday of a lifetime with the winnings.”

Betfair’s James Gilbert said: “Having ballooned to almost six figures, the jackpot was due to go at any moment, and this customer was in the right place at the right time.”

There is still more than £7 million worth of jackpots to be won on Betfair, including £4.7 million on the company’s Beach Life slots title.

Ahh hello James, so you are BfPR :)
cheers

close .....but no cigar.
James works in the PR department with me

wow, nice one.

for once klup tals sense ;)

Thanks Doobs! I will remember you when i win GSOP Dom rep and im handing out party invitations ;)

woooooowww!! nice one.

James is Good Cop to BF PR's bad cop. Deffo not the same person. If James were responsible for sending out my hoodie for instance, I would have had it by now, and not be having to walk the dog at midnight in temps of MINUS 12 as Im just about to do, in my 888 Poker Hoodie.

Anyhow, as Bruce/Kaiser isnt 27 years old, he cannot be the man who won the £97k.

HTH.

Nice one Bruce.  Maybe now you will fck off and leave the p1ssy quiz question prizes to us poor people.

AWESOME M8, Congrats from us. I thought them house game was ri g g ed, shows not WP ATB with the winnings

Congrats Bruce and I was thinking along the same lines as ajcairns...not that hes any better.

Nice one Bruce congraats

Brill m8 wd and enjoy every penny :)

And who said you needed to be a great poker player to bink a big win?

Bruce you must be at least 40.

Does Suffolk actually exist then ? I always assumed it was one of them places like Narnia you could only get to via the back of a Magic Cupboard.

chip - im sure you are confusing him with the real bruce willis

he is not the actor chip, believe me :)

HES NOT THE ACTUAL BRUCE WILLIS ?????

FFS, ALL MY DREAMS ARE DEAD.

I just had a vision of him wearing a tank top with bloodied feet playing Alice in Wonderland slots

*weird

Any questions?

Are you feeling generous?

Your not far off there, no motorways for miles around here :O
40?!what gave you that impression.

Congratulations Bruce

Congrats! I grew up in Suffolk nice part of the country :)

I got the impression you were over 40 by watching you in a series of Hollywood films such as The Fifth Element.

Turns out it wasn't even you .

was it a "random" jackpot?

Aren't they all random?
arcade > jackpots section

LOL  I bet you thought it's a wind up... well done

Haha, I tell you something that figure when its in your Betfair account and you see that number at the top is a scary feeling.
I just wanted to get it out of there ASAP, had to wait a day for a transfer

I'd probably have done about 40 grand in within a week trying to spin it up to 100k.

Well done and better transferring most of it out.
Have a great holiday.
