"Brighton owner Tony Bloom has been plunged into a major controversy following explosive allegations filed in the High Court, accusing the billionaire of operating a secret 600 million gambling syndicate. According to The Times, the lawsuit, brought by former associate Ryan Dudfield, claims that Bloom's betting consultancy firm, Starlizard, utilised secret exotic accounts to place high-stakes bets on football matches."
"While the Brighton owner is a renowned professional gambler and has held special dispensation from the FA to bet on football since 2014, this exemption comes with strict conditions. Crucially, he is prohibited from betting on Brighton matches or any Premier League fixtures. The scandal threatens to deepen if the High Court proceedings reveal that the predominantly football bets placed through these secret accounts included Premier League games."
Ryan Dudfield has filed a High Court lawsuit alleging that Tony Bloom operated a secret 600 million gambling syndicate through his betting consultancy, Starlizard. The lawsuit alleges exotic accounts were used to place high-stakes football bets and that George Cottrell acted as a whale or frontman to conceal the syndicate's activity. Dudfield seeks about 17.5 million in unpaid profits and contends that offshore crypto accounts, including on Stake.com, were controlled by Bloom's operatives. Bloom holds FA dispensation to bet since 2014 but is banned from betting on Brighton or Premier League matches. If secret-account bets included Premier League games, the FA agreement could have been breached, risking sanctions and reputational damage for Brighton.
