The CRED team explained that the jackpot had been cancelled due to a system glitch, offering to return the coins he used to play, along with Rs 1,000 as a goodwill gesture.<\/p>\n<p>Sangal, dissatisfied with the response, updated his post saying that CRED had &#8220;shamelessly&#8221; called again with the same compensation offer, which he declined. He demanded that the company publicly acknowledge the error and award the prizes to all affected users.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Even though I usually do not fall for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CRED_club?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@CRED_club<\/a>  jackpots, but yesterday I just played the friday jackpot without having any hope of getting anything meaningful.
