A young England fan who spent his house-deposit savings to take his grandfather to the World Cup received an unexpected £10,000 reimbursement from US-based crypto casino Metawin after the company honoured a social-media pledge following England’s win over DR Congo. The pair have travelled across the US and Mexico for matches, gaining public recognition as their story spread online, and continue their trip to Miami for the quarter-final. The gesture has given Jacob financial flexibility while the experience deepened the pair’s connection and resonated with supporters who related to the tribute to his grandfather.
