Betfair Review

Terrible, they removed the helpline number and now literally treat customers like you know what. Even trying to contact them is a mission. 40 minutes waiting to message someone and then it is past 11pm and the option to contact someone does not even work. I have placed 2 bets. Money in the account want to place 2 more bets to cover a bet, but they are playing dumb. So frustrating. Effectively want 4 bets, placed 2 out of 4. Need to place the other 2 to cover my perm, but suddenly, I’ve exceeded my betting limit. Yet less than 10 minutes earlier I was allowed to deposit the cash.

I put a £25 forecast on the dogs 1 minute before the start time .They are saying that it was not matched.

I made my account about a week ago and after depositing some money onto the account, the account was closed “under business terms”, whatever that means. At least the money didn’t leave my bank account but still just a horrible experience.

Bounty Raid(HUGE ALERT)is a slot game in the Betfair Casino run by Paddy Power my advice is do NOT play it as it is probably one of if not the most fixed corrupt slot games available in the Casino.Paddy Power manipulate the reels inplay on all games its so obvious they don’t even hide it you start off losing with this game and carry on losing every time you play it you lose its thousands and thousands of spins without a bonus just constant losses with about a 16% RTP if your lucky you have been warned.

I had a forecast come up on the dogs .I waited to get paid out .Nothing .After contacting customer services they said that the bet was not matched. I should have won £325. Yet again the desperation of Betfair shows their true colours. They did offer my stake back. What stake ? I never had a bet on remember.

Joined Betfair to place some FIFA world cup bets. Ridiculously confusing website. Finally figured out the difference between a back price and a lay price, but no idea what all the other columns mean. I think I placed one bet, but no idea as it didn’t appear in my betting history (bit my balance has decreased). Gave up and withdrew remaining funds. Awful.

Use to be good before the new update about a week ago.no partial cash out available anymore and defo big thumbs down because of that

I’m really surprised to see so many bad reviews here.I have been registered in Betfair Long time ago. Pros:- never had troubles with withdrawal and deposit, they never blocked my winnings etc ( there was technical issues only , about issue see below)- many options to bet. Cons:- slow support. They help, really, but very slow. – limited options of deposit. I used webmoney, hardly deposited money and could not withdraw back . They suggested me to deposit small amount of money using debit card, and after withdraw all money using bank card. It worked, i got all my money , but it was hard. I would suggest Betfair to use more deposit withdrawal methods and improve current options. But i say again – they never did dirty tricks with me.

Been with Betfair for years now . Something has happened .past you would win a fair amount on slots . Now glitches are more than suspicious and.making reset a normal . I’m on with a complaint but not hoping for much as there agents are busy .stinks . Government should ban software gambling I thought it was regulated on percentage of spins . Not on Betfair fraudulent and unfair.

If you win they block your method of winning. I usually bet on both teams not to score and I had my account restricted to bet up to 1 euro on that market. Contacted support and it wasn’t reversible. So basically if you win they just kick you out. If you are bad at gambling than this site is perfect as it has a lot of markets for you to lose at. If you want to bet to get profit than search for another one.

Iv struggled with dyslexia all my life, so sometimes I miss something. I signed up for a Betfair account and withdrew and put on a bet using my Pay Pal. Then noticed it said I was to use a card, so I done a cash out, took another £10 out and put it on the exact same bet all before the event has started. Unfortunately I didn’t get the bonus, I then thought I’d done something wrong so spent the second £10, it settled and still no bonus.I then contacted them and explained the situation, and even though they fully acknowledged that I had opened the account and spent double what I needed to because of my initial mistake they told me that there was nothing they could do and I wasn’t getting my sign on bonus. Iv used other betting sites and there always so accommodating and if it’s an honest mistake there more than glad to help. Unfortunately Betfair takes your money then doesn’t care if they hold onto the customer, more like betunfair.So unfortunately I’d stay well clear of this company. I over spent got nothing in return and closed my account feeling really stupid ☹️

Joined on their new joiner £20 no-win, get your stake back offer. But because I did a bank transfer of the money, apparently that promotion doesn’t apply. Despite this honest mistake on my part, and flagging it up in advance of the bet taking place, they refused to refund my money.

I’m with Betfair for 3 years. And it’s really hard to win on this site. Avoid playing on this site. The traders in this sites cheats all the time and Betfair tolerates it every time. I got pictures and videos that they are cheating on Horse races. All their promotions and rewards are all rigged. All games in the casino are rigged. I complained a lot of times about their trading but they just ignored me. And when I caught them cheating they tried to bribe me with £20 free bet. Gambling Commissions should close this site.

Reply

The site is ok but for no reason they decided I was not allow to get any promotions. They told me that it was random and they decided this for my account and their decision was final and there was not going to be any change. No point in having an account with them when you have better offers with others. I would not recommend them.

Do not trust this company as there strategy is very clever in many different scenarios.1. They conceal red card of football teams and shots on targets practically there stats are wrong.2. Is you have games and your bet is looking good they remove the cashout option untill last game is finished and then they offer you penny’s.3. Operators hang up the phone when you complain and when you request a manager call back your always ignored very rude!A VERY CLEVER COMPANY BEWARE DO NOT TRUST!!!!BET365 are much much better!

This site is fixed they just take your money stay away do not go on the Deluxe 7s you can spend £100 without a win it’s a big con needs to be investigated very low chances of winning on here

I would place bets on exchange and then watch mostly NBA basketball games on their platform live. Last 2-3 seasons watching games become absolutely unbearable, from delay in sound to games at 1.25x speed, or some weird repeating plays, also games not as LIVE as it used to be.If you ask customer support they say that it has nothing to do with betfair. (IT’S YOUR SITE DAMMIT) and its all 3rd party sports streaming providers.Maybe they should work with better sports streaming providers..Until then betfair not gonna see a single penny from me.

Reply

My experience here was awful the games are so controlled in fact years of playing casinos this is the most rigged out there, just be very careful if you play here you have been warned this is not a fake review.

Nice site, easy to use, good odds etc but it’s the idiotic restrictions, I’ve had a few wins, not massive, just wins on lucky 31s or 63s, nothing massive, a few wins of 1 or 2 hundred pound on each way multiple bets, all of a sudden I click on promotions to find in not allowed to do them etc, even in their special football bets where you’re allowed a max of 10 pound on a boosted price of evens, for some reason I’m allowed only 3 pound lol. I tried to do a 50p lucky 31, a? 15.50 multiple bet today, was allowed only a 31p lucky 31, it’s quite rediculous

They stole my money.Went on the betfair casino site as they seem to have some good real cash bonuses for free. Played and won just over £5. So deposited £10 of real money played slots staked over £10. Ended up with just over £10 in my account. Decided to withdraw. They wanted verification copy of driving licence, utility bill, bank statement. Sent all these and just got an email back saying they have closed my account. They still have my money and I cant contact them. Never before been ripped off like this.Avoid Avoid Avoid

Cant give 0, put my money on, no bonuses as promised. , machines are so tight not a penny back.

Don’t bother using there slots they are fixed chances of winning are slim beware better sites to spend your money and get winnings

Reply

You can stake over 500x without a bonus on low stakes that’s thousands of spins without a bonus, then when you do get a bonus it pays 10x or less, they have altered their RTP on slots or flipped a switch, I deposited 800 and got around 5 bonuses all paying way less than i staked. AVOID.

Reply

Do not use betfair, use any other sportsbook or platform you can. I had placed a bet and I had won, to see that they did not payout my winnings as they placed an “automatic lay bet” against the same odd without my knowledge at all? How is it that on the bet slip It only had gold trip the horse to win, and when the result came out it said that there was a bet placed for and against the same horse to win?? So dogey when I called to let them know what had happened they just referred me to terms and conditions knowing that will go no where.

i have been fighting to get my money released from this company for over two weeks every time i contact them it is over a hr on live chat to come back to no managers are free to take your complaint and then they close the chat after asking you to contact them at a later date you can not make a complaint without going through the manager so no complaints made also no movement on my money not a large sum just shy of a grand i can still use their site just not withdraw my money

Not really understand the RTP and the RNG because not real. About 90% plain spin from 90% about 15 % trying the free spin nothing else. The rest 10 % I mean 10 spin from 100 max biggest about 60 pence 1 time the rest 2,3,4 and 12 pence. Something wrong with my experience or the RTP count for the house I don’t know but seriously nothing to do with this crap. watch out where you spend money but definitely not this site that.

I can absolutely say this casino is rigged. Slots pay nothing and never hit bonuses. The only roulette tables worth playing are non betfair ones. If you choose to play the betfair version of roulette i will guarantee you it’s a scam. 12 colour streaks over and over again that it’s mathematically impossible. The dealers are RUDE, condescending and will gaslight you. The spins are so inconsistent and they never spin from the number landed. I also have evidence that the roulette tables will land on numbers with the least bets on it. Absolutely disgraceful site. Spent 5 days trying to get in contact with a human on the live chat and not a chance. Tried to close my account 3 times and no reply from customer service either.

A good sight and app. Money hits bank account in seconds when you withdraw. Although they ban you from daily free spin, if you don’t spend enough/play enough on other games. I did eventually get reinstated though.

Reply

I made a withdrawal of a good amount of money. Never received into bank account. Contacted Betfair on live chat, which took forever, told to contact bank, bank could not see transaction number, told to go back to betfair who said they transferred money and it was up to my bank to sort out. Joke of a company…

Warning!This bookie steals your money from your account without any hesitation. I’m just about to send all my account details and everything that’s been screenshot from my account to the Daily Mail.

Well, this is a joke of a company. I was enticed in with free spins and I won just over £5 with those free spins. I went to withdraw it as a Tesco voucher and during the process, I got an email saying that my account was closed and there was no way to appeal it. I even started a chat with customer service about it to just even find out why it had happened and after complaining about how it’s not exactly fair (ironic, due to the name) then there was an “error” and the chat failed. I think with the dodgy dealing I went through, I hardly think this was an accident.Don’t be sucked in with fake “free” spin promises, don’t get any hopes up if you do win anything, and DEFO do not give this company any of your money! Ooft! I usually come on here to give good reviews, I’ve never gone on anywhere to give a 1 star review, but I had to complain about this to SOMEONE since the customer service didn’t help one bit, not with clarity about my case and not with any kind of help with my winnings.

I play the bonus pinball game that they currently offer 1 spin a day for free, I have been doing well getting the odd 40p 50p etc once a day, sometimes I have to use their allocated games to spend it which is fine anything I win on those games goes into my main account wallet. Saving for my main slot game dynamite riches.First issue: I won the £100 prize from pinball only for a message to appear saying “oh no you didn’t win this time” it landed in the correct box so it is broken. I contacted support (took 30 -40mins for a reply) they asked for a screenshot, that’s pretty impossible with the pinball game it’s too fast! Then they tried fobbing me off with a display issue and that I needed to clear cookies and data, that’s funny I’m pretty tech savvy and clear my web data once a day. Run IOS 16 for Betfair and have a relatively modern phone. Which I stated then they ran out of excuses and just said without a screenshot there is nothing they can do. Fine you want to cheat me out of winnings so be it, I’ll screen record every instance of gambling from this point on.2) referring back to my piggy bank of main wallet, which I save from the pinball game to play my main slot dynamite riches as I have unlocked all the bonus features, I could save £5 or £10 over time from pinball wins and spin at a 10p stake on my main game. (a low stake indeed with small winnings but when gold spins initiates a small return is made). The issue I have is that never the cash I save from pinball initiates the bonus games, it shakes to give the impression of a bonus game activation then never comes through, I expect the shake once or twice as false positives (part of the game) that’s fine but false shakes 5 or 6 times is scummy. Only when I deposit money do I get the bonus games activated. Why is that? Hmm let me think.3) deposit such and such promos say £5 and get 10 free spins. Here’s a question why does it lock out my bonus games on my slot when I use those promo spins!!!! Surely it’s part of the deal you slimey slugs.Overall a dodgy company for sure, never had an issue with withdrawals yet instant to my bank account but I dread to think what would happen if I win big.Very shady indeed.

No fair game play on this site atall when you do 5 deposits with 0 bonus! Absolute joke especially when you dont even win your stake!!

Betfair is easily the worst bookmaker in the uk. Im talking about the sportsbook and not the exchange. The sportsbook side with the traders etc is without doubt the mug end of the industry. Always last up with odds on overseas racing and restricting bets. Clueless custmoer service who are equivalent to monkeys pulled off the street and asked to repeat standard replies written down for them. The sportsbook runs a distant last to any other company.

bent as a 2 bob note take take take. All I ever do is deposit never get to withdraw as site never lets you win. Play bingo lose, play promos lose absolute joke stay clear unless you like losing your money

Hi, My username is kashif1604My account was closed. When I want to contact betfair help center, they do not respond to my emails. In my opinion, betfair.com help center is totally useless and it closes its customers’ accounts at any time without any reason. I never suggest opening an account on betfair.com

Had player for Hatrick, he did not play in the entire game, betfair said its there terns and rules ?? yeh I should have read there small print…if your player does not play we just keep your money anyway ? won’t be betting here again You don’t get that at ladbrooks or William Hill

JUST FAKE playing solts for 1 week and not even 1 bonus feature on any of the slots . iv been playing at different times and days and just to win nothing at all in 1 week . So this is controile3d game play as game providers have a duty to keep slots topped up with wins . Thats why they have a return to player over a long time of playing nearly 97% rtp yeah right more like 97% return to house . How its so funny that all week nothing at all even tho house edge is only 3% they are just thiefs and the same at paddy power both companies are owned by flutter gaming just take a look online at this company and tell me if you still want to play at any of flutter gaming casinos

Very disappointing and seriously discrimination.stay away from these lot.

Absolute joke of a service. Account closed with funds still in with no reason why.Contact page is awful. Talk to a virtual assistant for ten minutes and then wait another 15 minutes to get in touch with a human.Plenty of other good sites out there, these guys are useless and make it so difficult to get your money back out

Reply

Stay away from this site. Sportsbook will limit your bets if you managed to win any bets at all, with no explanation or reasoning. The odds to win on the casino are inflated when you register to drag you in and then are flatlined to the point where you wont see any wins for months.

Bookmakers used to have a bad name.A new kid on the block saw an improvement from the old boys.Betfair was a new kid.I no longer consider them as a customer focussed bookmaker.Tread very carefully with this company.Read and read again the small print.Bet with them at your peril.

2nd review on this company, Won a reasonable amount a few months ago and since then took 100 times the amount I’ve wont no hits in months take take take they blame it on your habits but come on that is just robbery. that’s their excuse to cover themselves they always blame it on the player, not the fact they changed something in your account to stop you winning.
