Ladbrokes ordered to pay Roma couple €10k for refusing to take a bet

The branch manager, Jennifer Kavanagh, told the WRC that Mr Hangurbadzo had become irate after she had informed him on entering the shop that they were closing soon and asked him not to dirty the area around the roulette machine. 

A leading betting firm has been ordered to pay compensation of €10,000 to a Roma couple who were refused service in a betting shop at a time when other customers had bets accepted.

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled that Ladbrokes had discriminated against Oskar Hangurbadzo and his fiancée, Zuzana Pompova, for refusing to take a bet on a roulette machine when they entered the unnamed branch on February 13, 2020.
