Fair enough.
But I still don't see the problem with the way the guy won. The actual problems are the gambling website itself and people being stupid/gullible/addicted enough to waste money on it.
In a regulated market this sort of thing would be called "insider trading" and is highly illegal, usually. Then again betting on unregulated "markets" is just asking to be ripped by people with insider info
The website is made for people with knowledge to leak sensitive info.
