Bet365 is heading to court in June in an attempt to have thrown out part of a case whereby 19-year-old Megan McCann staked nearly £25,000 on 12 horses, which resulted in £1 million winnings.
The bets were placed in 2016. Lawyers for bet365 are set to argue that elements of the lawsuit brought by McCann at the High Court in Belfast are unsustainable.
The betting firm claims that McCann wagered on behalf of a third party, in breach of its terms and conditions.
Proceedings remain at an early stage, with no legal arguments advanced. However, counsel for bet365, Peter Hopkins, has commenced steps aimed at having the case against his client reduced before it reaches trial, according to the Racing Post.
The one-day hearing has been scheduled for June 19.
