What to do in case a betshop doesn’t want to pay my win

During my vacation in UK i used to make bets at paddypower bet shops. As i am a a huge tennis fan i usually bet only on it. One day after i’ve lost about 800 pounds on a tennis match i have bet 700 pounds more on another tennis match and where i have won more then 10k ponds. When i came with my winnings tickets to the operator he made a call and since now ( already 2 weeks) they keep saying that tennis federation is investigating that match and i have to wait because they dont have a result and as soon the investigation is not finished they are not able to pay me . Please give me an advice what shall i do ? im in my home country right now and i keep calling them every 2 days but everytime i hear the same things…

They are probably telling the truth. You can find that out by doing a little research, though. Just find on the internet if the match has a result or not. If it doesn’t have one, they are telling the truth and you must wait.

If it *does* have one, then print out that page, and take it to the shop. If they tell you the same thing, ask to speak to a supervisor, and show them the page. Or if you can’t take it to the shop, then ask for a supervisor over the phone, and direct them to the web site that shows the investigation is over.

Finally, if they truly refuse to pay a verifiable winning ticket, they are breaking UK law. Tell them you will be reporting them to the police for breaking the law. But only do this is the result of the match has been determined, and they still won’t pay, even after you’ve spoken to a supervisor. Also tell them that you will be posting on the Internet that they don’t pay on winning tickets.

The match is under investigation, you’ll just have to wait. You will need to contact paddy power help and the organization that hosted/organized the tennis match for further information. Paddy Power have no legitimate business reason to withold your winnings, they will be eager to get them to you so you can gamble it all again. It is not in the bookmakers interest to hold back winnings.
