Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Hope it was worth it for them, but they did something like this is some countries already including the UK and nobody used it. Guess there's not that much demand for it at the moment but hopefully the infrastructure is there in the future when hopefully it gets more popular.

At least, it was a great learning experience for them to build this out. Bitcoin is very individual oriented, so people will have to take initiative for it to catch on in a convincing manner.
