Matchbook Review

Customer Service argue with you via email and won’t admit they’re every wrong. Nothing is ever their fault even when it is. And no matter how much aggro the site causes they refuse to give you a free bet. Sorry no free bets will be credited. They act like it’s their own money won’t use again

Every dealing I have had with Matchbook has been positive. They have always sorted out any issues and been really helpful. You get to speak to real people who don’t stick to a generic scrip which is nice as you feel listened to rather than fobbed off. Really great betting platform.

Same old same old. Took there Casino for a substantial sum and then they demand documents. They also asked me to explain my trading strategies and how I consistently win on their exchange. Luckily I managed to withdraw my funds before they had chance to steal back there losses like they have clearly done to others on here. They blame the gambling commissioner but can’t explain why this does not have to be done until your winning. Imagine going for a Mortgage and them giving you the money then 6 months later wanting you to show your affordability. Exactly makes zero sense does it. Nothing but a bunch.

First betting experience and all good. The site is intuitive and very easy to use.

Was extremely happy with them and had laid thousands of bets with them over the last couple of years. I was so happy with them that I completely ignored a friend who told me that they had placed a lay bet but it had turned into a back bet in this exchange. I just assumed my friend had made an error and was simply frustrated, until exactly the same thing happened to me, resulting in me losing at a bookmaker and at the exchange. Nothing I can do without having actually filmed the placing of the lay bets. But I will stop using them now as I am 100% sure I made a lay bet and the fact that Ive made thousands of such bets without incident proves, to me anyway, that I know how to place lay bets.

Matchbook has blocked my account without explanation of a reason or an opportunity to resolve any issues. My account had several open bets, which I couldn’t access and lost my money as a result of this. The customer support service couldn’t help me saying that I would need to file a complaint which is considered for 8 weeks.

Not been using very long but so far, so good. Easy to use and great customer service. Only needed them once and they were very helpful and resolved my query quickly.

I’ve been using Matchbook for a few months and it’s my favourite of the 4 exchanges. Site is simple to use and offers good functionality. Had a query today and Matchbook replied quickly and resolved the issue instantly. Can’t fault!

Deposit failed even though everything was confirmed with my bank and no restrictions was on my account. Matchbook tried to blame my bank, when they realised the issue was with themselves and was advised the issue will be passed to the relevant department which clearly only operate Mon-Fri 9-5. Staff clearly not experienced nor trained properly to deal with such basic issues, in situations like this a manager should at least be available to step in. Self excluded my account for 5 years due to frustration and wasted time. I don’t deal with incompetent businesses like this.

Lots of issues, sent them details always get told the revelant dept will be in touch but never doLive chat can’t help and only seem to employ one personMust be the only exchange that never rewards play. Even at Ascot nothing. Fast withdrawals but too much trouble

Don’t waste your time.I joined with a promise of free bets for signing up. On signing up, my account was blocked with no explanation. The Live Chat team advised to send identification documents which I did, however this wasn’t processed for 3 days after which the sign-up offer had expired. They then requested more documents over and above what was originally asked for.I mentioned the issue of the free bets expiring with the Live Chat team, and the feedback team but they weren’t interested in resolving the issue and were quite blunt with their responses.Customer service is extremely lacking with this company.

I sent a message today with a query, I was responded to very quickly, and query resolved, very happy with the service I received.

I’ve been using Matchbook for only a few months and have really enjoyed their software so far. Good markets are available to bet on and the odds are good. I only wish you could see exactly how much liquidity is available in each market before placing bets.Customer support has been really pleasant so far and resolved any query that I had quickly.

Matchbook are a betting exchange, which means that you can both bet or lay the result of a sporting event. They are quite generous with their free bets coming out of nowhere, and there is a feature called matchbook zero, where one can place (just one) back or lay bet at very favourable odds with no commission. I wish they had a button – a safety feature for those with a lot of money in their account – that would limit the maximum possible loss on any particular market, but of the four exchanges only betdaq offer this.I strongly recommend matchbook. It is one of the best betting sites out there.

I’m not much of an Eddy Hearn fan but I do like to bet and Matchbook is a decent bookie. No issues or aggro; you can back & lay with some decent promotions.

Matchbook is a fantastic betting exchange. Support was lovely too, always quick to respond whenever I had a query.

Slapped a £150 monthly deposit limit in me for now reason. When enquired why they said it’s all I could afford me to lose. I didn’t realise matchbook is owned by my accountants firm. When I explained it’s irrelevant as I’m matched betting, they demanded to see proof of my counter bets. I did so, showing that I’m in profit. They also demanded to see my bank and investment accounts (so they could decide what was affordable). I refused stating I’d be one data breach away from financial ruin. But, I did allow them access to the account I was using for their service. They proceeded to ask intrusive questions about my financial relationship with my husband based off it. Then they just replied, no change to limit. No reason given. It’s been an absolute pain, all to get 0% commission. I’ve got no limit with betfair. So I’ll stick with their 2%.

All been good until right when I really needed to withdraw money then all of a sudden my password was blocked and everytime I make a new one it just says the same thing that it has been entered wrong more than 3 times. Now most of the time the customer staff are amazing but when it was clock off work time and I really needed access to Money.. they wasn’t much help at all..Update.. as seen below 👇 maybe I was a little harsh as they do tend to sort things out fast however I am a little worried as some reviews here say their account had to be terminated when they got locked out 🥺Further update…All fixed it was a technical error on their side but they fixed it as fast as they could I must say the speed they work on raised issues during office hours are impeccable and I praise them for their hard work and dedication in fixing this for me, it was just unfortunate that it happened right at the end of office hours

So I signed up for the welcome pack 100% match also You get 50 spins after completing buy in, but when you end up with 3p left from your buy in and bonus balance that can’t be used up it’s not complete so they won’t issue you your spins. what a joke seems like a loop hole just to not give the spins.

Immediate helpful attention from the chat service person, and not some annoying bot that can never give a satisfactory answer. Great service.

Nice clean site unlike some of the rivals, great customer service.

Okay until you hit issues then they don’t care and don’t even suggest any compensation for the hassle. It’s never their fault. They wouldn’t even give a lousy tenner free bet. Very mean

Martha on live chat helped me sort out something I had mistakenly put in. Help was prompt and efficient.

After waiting almost six months to have my account unlocked,i was asked to do this was by sending an email to their team on 13/05/2024. I lost count the number of emails i sent them on 13/05/2024 to 14/05/2024. Because the number of emails i sent and received,they took the easy option to close my already locked account. I have all the sent/received emails to. I was only able to give this useless website 1 star as there was no 0 star

avoid this betting exchange like the plague. Shut down my account for no reason and would not reopen it after liaising with their ‘compliance team’ Betdaq and Smarkets are better and have a great customer service.

Reply

Poor liquidity or no liquidity on Live markets Only few markets available Spread bigger than Betfair Offer fake promotions to encourage players

Reply

Great Service as always and great alternative to Betfair and Smarkets.

IT was so good i needed a cold shower afterwards

Very worried they are con artists. I opened an account and they immediately blocked it. I provided all the usual verification info and then extra things too including photos of me which no other exchange asks for. Then they gave me no reason for closing my account. I am 70 years old and they now have all the info needed to scam me
