Major error<\/h2>\n

Hard Rock Bet has confirmed that players who erroneously received a $5,000 payout after playing a popular trivia game will be allowed to keep their money.<\/p>\n

\n

paid out $5,000 to 353 customers, totaling $1,765,000<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Instead of paying out each qualifying player who correctly answered seven questions a share of the $5,000 prize pool, Hard Rock paid out $5,000 to 353 customers, totaling $1,765,000 in rewards.<\/p>\n

Instead of trying to reclaim the money, however, the players will be allowed to keep their unexpected windfall.<\/p>\n

Quiz show windfall<\/h2>\n

The incident occurred on Hard Rock Bet platform, which currently only operates in New Jersey, on the Live Trivia game. Live Trivia is a game show launched in partnership with Playtech, with a live host, where participants must correctly answer at least seven of ten timed questions to win a share of the prize pool.<\/p>\n

Questions range from pop culture to themed quizzes about historical events. On the night in question, Live Trivia players had been answering questions on the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City\u2018s seventh anniversary, which will be celebrated this weekend.<\/p>\n

However, instead of receiving a share of the prize pool, an error caused every participant to be given a flat $5,000. The total number of accounts that received the prize was 353, leading to a total of $1,765,000 being paid out.<\/p>\n

In a gesture of goodwill (and perhaps reflecting the difficulty of lodging potentially hundreds of legal actions) Hard Rock has now announced that despite the clear error, the affected users will be allowed to keep their money.<\/p>\n

Players delighted<\/h2>\n

Brandy Lee Brown-Weikel, one lucky winner, said: \u201cI\u2019ve been playing it for a while now, and on a good night, I usually win like $10 or $15. Nothing crazy, but it\u2019s fun and I look forward to it every week.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t have to do that, and most companies wouldn\u2019t have. But you stood by it, did the right thing, and showed a ton of integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Primeaux, Hard Rock Bet\u2019s Executive Managing Director & President, stated that the company was quickly aware of the error and \u201cresponded quickly and deliberately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Hard Rock Bet wants to put our customers first wherever possible, not just when it\u2019s convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe awards stand. While others may have tried to claw back the $5,000 awards \u2013 Hard Rock Bet wants to put our customers first wherever possible, not just when it\u2019s convenient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHard Rock Bet Casino is determined to provide our players with a simple, fair, and transparent entertainment experience \u2013 not one filled with terms and conditions, asterisks, and promotions that can never fully be won.\u201d<\/p>\n
