Irish online gambling operator SeanieMac’s financial difficulties have resurfaced in the media after a punter went public with his inability to withdraw nearly a quarter of a million pounds from the site.

On Thursday, The Guardian reported that an unidentified punter was threatening to take legal action against SeanieMac’s parent company, Sportsbetting and Gaming Services (SGS), due to the site’s unwillingness and/or inability to honor his attempts to withdraw £245k from his online betting account.

The punter claims to have opened his SeanieMac.com account last December, after which he went on a prolonged hot streak. The punter made his initial withdrawal request in March but has yet to receive a penny, despite repeated follow-up requests.

The last communication the punter had with the site was on April 21, when SeanieMac’s COO Garreth Core informed him that “our partners are not in a position to release the funds until we send the funds from the US … please believe I am doing everything I can to get you paid as soon as possible.”
