Massive ‘glitch' plunges Gala Bingo into chaos as players LOSE a staggering £20,000 in winnings
UNLUCKY FOR SOME Massive 'glitch' plunges Gala Bingo into chaos as players LOSE a staggering £20,000 in winnings Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of bingo players are fuming after winning up to £10,000 each from a mega £1.6m prize pot - before it was snatched away by Gala Bingo who blamed a 'technical glitch'. Punters playing bingo online on Monday night were shocked when they scooped big prizes, thinking their 'lucky day had finally come'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Single mum Natasha Varcoe, 23 was affected by the 'technical glitch' 4 Players thought they had won big only to be left disappointed Thrilled business owner Jacqui Norrish thought she'd bagged £9,599.47 while playing the game Monday night. But the 41-year-old from Torbay, Devon, received an email from Gala Bingo stating: 'Unfortunately, due to a technical error on Monday 4th August 2025, your account was incorrectly credited with Bingo winnings.' Fuming, Jacqui told The Sun: 'It's absolutely outrageous how big companies can play with people's lives like this, it's disgraceful. 'I'm a fairly regular player with Gala Bingo, but I don't pay big stakes or anything. 'I started playing at 4.30pm on Monday and got my first big win at about 7.20pm, for well over £1,200, I couldn't believe my luck. 'Then I got another win 20 minutes later for £2,280 and was already spending the money in my head. 'Then I won £1,600, £2400 and then another prize of £1,800. 'I won a few more prizes before it stopped, I had almost £10k in my account.' Jacqui said she saw other 'winners' asking the Gala chat host whether the prizes were genuine and it responded that they were, adding, 'enjoy your winnings'. She immediately withdrew the cash from her Gala account only to discover the money never made it to her bank account 'I was going to pay to get my daughter tested for autism because the NHS wait is so long and I'd planned to pay the rest of my husband's car off,' she said, adding: 'I'm absolutely gutted. When you've been told you've won something and then it's snatched away, it makes you feel terrible.' Pensioner Jill Douthwaite, 72, from Edenbridge, Kent, won £2,700 on the online game and hoped to use her winnings to pay for an op for her Collie-cross Cooper. 4 The winners desperately contacted Gala Bingo to resolve the issue 'I was so relieved because I thought I could spend £500 to save my dog's eyesight,' she said. 'We're a family who can't afford to go on holidays and we've been struck with a lot of bad luck in the past too. 'My daughter even phoned her dad to say she could repay his loan for the car, but then she had to go back on her word because Gala Bingo did.' Banking customer service agent Joseph Morphus, 21, said he clocked an unusual amount of people winning big in the chat on Monday. He said: 'It was extremely weird, people were getting such big amounts, and as a runner up I got £1,000 having literally bet pennies. 'The withdrawal process went normally, but then it never arrived and in the morning my account had been closed.' Last month, Joseph, from Nottingham, Notts, suffered a brain bleed after he was injured playing football, so had been surviving on sick leave pay. 'It's been really tough, I've been really short of cash, and the win was like a breath of fresh air,' he said. But now he's fuming, adding: 'It's ridiculous, it's their problem, the fat cats are sitting in their mansions and now they're not paying what's ours." Single mum Natasha Varcoe, 23, from Sherborne, Dorset, is also gutted after bagging £5,000 having bet just a fiver. She planned to spend the cash on driving lessons so she could see more of her parents who live an hour away. Disappointed, she said: 'It might not be much to other people, but we've just moved into a council house and I don't have any carpets.' While mum Victoria Geer, 28, said when her screen flashed a runner up reward of £2,400 on Monday, she screeched to her partner Ryan, a drainage engineer, that she'd won. 'It was bananas, it then happened twice more, I just couldn't believe it,' she recalls. When she won £7,200 off a £15 stake, she decided to cash in and planned to take her family on holiday, but no money arrived. Since the false prize bonanza, angry customers have taken to TrustPilot to rate Gala Bingo one star and hundreds have vented their anger in online groups. One user wrote: 'Like a lot of people last night who apparently won big money absolutely disgusted at how this can happen. We paid to play, didn't we!' While another said: 'They like taking your money but don't like paying out.' Gala Bingo sent a message to customers informing them they would not receive their winnings, but would be refunded what they spent on Bingo Tickets. The firm says the technical glitch happened on Monday night, causing chaos for around two hours. It has contacted the Gambling Commission over the incident. A Gala Bingo spokesperson said: "We apologise to customers for a technical error which occurred during our Summer Nights Bingo promotion for a short period of time, resulting in all players receiving incorrect payouts. "Our customer Terms and Conditions clearly state that in the event of a malfunction, winnings can be voided. "Affected players have been contacted directly with a gesture of goodwill."

Katie Price's lips look bigger than ever after filler as rift with daughter Princess is revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has flaunted her bigger than ever lips in a brand new snap after topping them up with even more filler. The mum-of-five is known for her ever-changing looks but now she seems to be sporting a pout bigger than anyone has ever seen before. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Katie Price has shown off her bigger than ever lips in a new snapshot Credit: katie-pricey/Snapchat/Instagram 3 The star is known for her ever-changing looks Credit: Getty Katie uploaded a photo of herself to her Snapchat account where she could be seen enjoying a meal out. But instead of all of the attention being on the star's meal, it was her plump pout that was the star of the show. Katie is known for her love of 'butterfly' lips and regularly undergoes the procedure which involves excessive filler plumped into her lips to give her the desired look. The 47-year-old mum-of-five has spent a HUGE amount of money over the years on cosmetic procedures. And she's recently spoken about being unhappy with her latest £10,000 facelift, with sources close to the star claimed at the time that she she was less than impressed with her 'pixie ears' following the procedure. Katie last underwent a lip filler procedure just last month when she opted to top up her pout as well as have a Brazilian Bum Lift during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London's Harley Street earlier this month. Sharing the latest tweaks with fans on Instagram, Katie revealed: 'So my lips are done. I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks last week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. Katie Price admits her family are panicked over star's weight loss as mum fears eating disorder and dad calls her 'thin' legs 'terrible' "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Her recent surgery antics come after her rift with 18-year-old daughter Princess was uncovered and laid bare. Princess is due to launch her first solo reality show this weekend but Katie won't be featured with it being understood the teen has been told to distance herself from her mother in order to protect her brand and image. While Katie, 47, adores her eldest daughter — who she had with first husband Peter Andre — she has been left devastated after the teenager was told to 'distance herself' from her 'low-rent' relative. Telly bosses deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie'. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced.
