Flaunting silk pyjamas, bikini-clad women and wads of cash at his Thai ‘mansion’ – self-styled millionaire George White poses as the king of horse racing tips.
His social media is a never-ending reel of excess – the carefully curated image of a playboy living a life of untouchable luxury after beating the bookies.
To thousands of his paying subscribers, White is a Champagne-swigging horse racing expert who turns ordinary bets into extraordinary wins.
Videos show him rolling in cash, encouraging subscribers to ‘lump on’ massive stakes, while he promises that anyone can win if they pay him a monthly fee.
However, there’s just one problem.
George White doesn’t exist.
In reality, the man behind the Moosh empire is Jason Haddigan, 54 – a convicted fraudster, lifelong gambling addict and banned from every betting shop in England and Wales.
The Daily Mail can reveal how the man known as ‘The Moosh’, or ‘Mooshtips’, to his 161,000 Instagram followers is nothing but a trickster who once toured the country with his father scamming bookmakers.
The phenomenon is part of a new breed of tipster culture fuelled by social media, where desperate gamblers and wide-eyed novices alike are seduced by the illusion of easy wins and lavish lifestyles, handing over hundreds or even thousands of pounds each year for so-called insider tips.

Haddigan lies front and centre – using social media, digital ad vans and newspaper advertorials to lend a veneer of legitimacy.
And his outlandish blagging is not limited to just that. In an interview with The Daily Mail, he boasted that he was earning £100,000 per month from his luxurious seven-bedroom bolt hole in Pattaya, Thailand, dubbed ‘Moosh Mansion’ which comes with its own swimming pool.
He regularly posts videos of himself with a string of scantily clad women at his home or moving around Pattaya singing and shouting in his £45,000 BMW convertible or Honda Goldwing motorbike as he laps up the ‘good life.’
He flaunts cash and boasts of sleeping with 4,000-plus women in one post, writing: ‘Even the calculators give up counting my body count’.
Haddigan conceded somewhat tongue in cheek that his posts could be seen as ‘vulgar’ but insisted that he was not being ‘flash.’
He said: ‘A lot of people think I’m showing off but I’m not. All my life I’ve been a loser, a scammer, a drunk and a hopeless gambling addict. I’ve never tried to hide that because that’s what I was.
‘I’ve had a s**t life and now at last, everything is good for me because for the first time, I’ve found some success.’
But despite claiming to be a reformed character, in a rambling interview he continually contradicted himself, was unclear about how his business operates and even admitted that his ‘success’ was actually in breach of horse racing rules, further adding to his notoriety.

He admitted: ‘I’m not going to tell you how I give so many winning tips because that would be giving my secrets away. But what I can say is that I have insiders in the horse racing industry-jockeys, trainers and owners who give me very good information and I pay them for that.
‘So, while I may be making a lot of money, I also have to pay out quite a bit too.’
The British Horse Racing Authority specifically states that jockeys, trainers, and owners cannot provide information for betting purposes and that it could lead to them being banned.
Haddigan offers a range of betting services priced from £7.79 a month, with a £41.99 per month deal or £360 for a suite of tips annually.
In a recent Instagram post, he claimed to have 2,100 subscribers paying an average £40 – meaning he could be earning £10.8 million each year.
His now-viral Mooshtips Dance – a celebratory move performed after every major win – has become part of betting culture, with fans mimicking it across social media platforms.
But not all those who pay for his betting tips are left in such celebratory mood. Trustpilot and X are awash with testimonies of destruction with punters claiming to have lost everything after placing bets on tips provided by him.
One review warned: ‘Avoid Moosh Tips at all costs – he destroyed me. Following his so-called tips wiped me out completely. House? Gone. Bank savings? Gone. Wife’s jewellery? Gone. My grandad’s gold watch, my kids’ bikes, even my car – all gone.’

‘His advice is nothing but a fast track to being broke and homeless. If you want to end up sleeping in a shop doorway, follow Moosh Tips. If you value your money, your family, and your sanity – stay far, far away.’
Another wrote: ‘Gave him another try today. Told members to have £40,000 on his Super Max Lump. Thought it must be a good thing so spent my rent money on it. It finished 5th so my landlord is complaining. Two of his tips pulled up yesterday on the flat. I give up now. I don’t even think he’s a proper tipster as he only tips favourites.’
Other reviews lampoon the absurdity of his tips. One reads: ‘Without a doubt the worst horse racing tipster since horses were invented. He would struggle to pick a winner in a two-horse race where one of them only had three legs.’
One man claimed his 97-year-old grandfather, who suffered from dementia, lost £30,000 after subscribing to MooshTips.
He told how the losses were only uncovered following the death of the former miner in February.
Speaking anonymously, for fear of reprisals, the grandson said: ‘My grandad was 97 when he died. He’d worked in the mines all his life. He was working class, solid, salt of the earth.
‘He loved racing. That was his passion. He’d sit there with the Sporting Life, picking out his horses, never chasing big money, just small wins here and there.
‘But in the last years, he had dementia. He had an iPhone, and it was all saved log-ins. With dementia, that was a disaster. He could bet with one tap.
Haddigan often shares pictures from bars in Pattaya where he drinks champagne with bikini clad women
‘He got sucked in through TikTok. That’s where he found MooshTips. I’d never even heard of him until after my grandad passed away.’
‘When we looked through his bank, we were stunned. He’d lost £30,000.
‘And the subscription – £84 a month – kept rolling even when he was in no state to cancel. For years it drained his account.’
The family approached Haddigan for answers but claimed to have no reply.
The grandson said: ‘Obviously, legally we couldn’t do anything. My grandad placed the bets and with his dementia, his brain just couldn’t filter out losing tips.”
The grandson, who now runs a profile on X warning people to be wary of MooshTips, added: ‘This guy’s got no morals whatsoever. His moral compass is so warped and twisted.
‘His whole business model revolves around click-baiting people into believing his life is real and he can achieve what he’s got.
‘But it’s all a facade. Everything he’s got is rented. He’s living from a suitcase, going from Airbnb to Airbnb. He does things for clicks, for likes, and for new sets of eyes. He epitomises the word ‘fake’. He’s the biggest fake there is.
Haddigan’s book How And Why I Conned The Bookies was withdrawn from sale after bookies threatened legal action
‘He portrays himself to be a high-flying success but it’s all staged. The guy’s a narcissist. He’s a delusional Walter Mitty character.’
But Haddigan appears to have little sympathy for those who have lost fortunes on his tips claiming that he is the victim of an online smear campaign designed to damage his reputation, which he admits is not ‘too great’ in the first place.
He said: ‘I know what a lot of people say about me and to be honest, given my past, I can’t blame them. I’ve been in and out of prison and was a scam artist, but I am not one anymore.
‘I’m not forcing anyone to have a bet. I don’t say every horse will win and that you will be a millionaire. You would have to be stupid to think that every horse you bet on will win.’
He revealed that his mobile number was recently posted on X by a disgruntled punter leading to him receiving 200 death threats.
Haddigan added: ‘Sometimes horses pull up or don’t win and everyone starts calling me a c**t. Then I give a tip the next day for another horse, it wins, and I go back to being God again.’
A social media profile monitoring Mooshtips claimed Haddigan had posted 68 horse racing tips in August, resulting in 49 losses. It said that if a punter had placed a £10,000 stake on the 31 tips described by Haddigan as ‘lump-ons’, they would have lost £191,760.
The X account, MooshTipsBeware, warns: ‘Moosh tips is run by a degenerate gambler, a self-confessed con man and a man that manipulates results to look like a winner. 1000s of people have lost it all!’

But a defiant Haddigan, who during the interview unashamedly painted himself as a the ‘punters messiah’ on account of how many winning tips he provides insisted: ‘I get a lot of online hate. I suppose it’s just the price you pay for fame.
‘But ‘I have paid for people’s weddings, holidays, cars and houses because of my tips. When I give a tip, I pray for that horse to win because nothing makes me happier than to see my punters win.’
Haddigan’s reinvention is less a redemption story than a grotesque masquerade.
He began gambling aged nine and in his twenties toured the country with his father, Brian, conning bookmakers.
Between 2012 and 2013, they visited more than 30 betting shops from Scotland to Cornwall, using messy handwritten slips and sleight-of-hand tricks to claim winning bets after the races had finished.
He was jailed in 2014 for 14 months after being extradited from the United States and handed a five-year ban from all betting shops in England and Wales.
Judge Roger Dutton called their operation ‘persistent, ingenious, and widespread’. He subsequently wrote a book entitled How And Why I Conned The Bookies – later withdrawn from sale following legal threats from bookmakers who objected to the information it contained on how Haddigan and his father carried out their scams.
By the age of 30, Haddigan had already lost over £300,000, endured four failed relationships, and seen his businesses of a sweet shop in Hampshire collapse.

He told The Daily Mail: ‘I emptied out the till and gambled all the money away. I lost everything, even my partner who I really loved.’
In 2021, after returning from an overseas trip, he was arrested at Gatwick Airport and sentenced to 21 weeks in prison for fraud. A court heard he had 23 previous convictions for 68 offences, 22 of which related to fraud.
Haddigan revealed that after getting ‘sick of life’ in the UK he went to Thailand a year later and after falling in love with a local woman, decided to operate Mooshitps from there.
His business history is as mired in confusion and chaos as his personal life. Moosh Racing Tips Limited, set up in April 2022, was dissolved in June 2023 without filing any accounts.
That same month he set up another company Moosh Racing Tips (Hampshire) Limited based at an accountancy firm in Hayling Island, near Portsmouth, but then closed this down voluntarily in the following December, again without publishing accounts.
In August last year, using the name George Albert White, he set up a third company Moosh Subscriptions Limited, based at an accountancy firm in Emsworth, Hampshire. This company has also yet to file any accounts and the first set of financial data is not due until May next year.
In a further twist he claimed that he legally changed his name to George White because each time he searched for his birth name on the internet all that came up were details of his shady past.
But he maintained: ‘I’m not trying to hide who I am.’
