they take advantage of you and let you gamble away your life if you are a problem gambler. however, as if you actually know what you're doing, they limit you to 86p stakes. horrible people

I'm not sure, why there are so many bashers of Sportingbet. How many sportbooks has that cash out feature, if you do change your mind, cancel, won't lose any money. The odds, prices are super fair, buying points, if your a serious player, Sportingbet has to be one of your outs. It seems all these bashers are the bonus whores, people that don't fulfill their rollovers. I would recommend to not have these issues, ask questions, online chat, always accessible during day, and make sure before you send money verify your account.

Don't deposit any money you will not get it back! I signed up and received an email saying 'Congratulations you're fully verified. You can now deposit and withdraw funds as well as play and bet across all our exciting games and sports'. So I placed a bet with the welcome offer and won £20.50. I had an email the day after saying I wasn't fully verified and they needed to be sent personal documents. I then tried to withdraw the money and they will not let me or even give my deposit back until I send these 'personal documents'. Customer Service fobbed me off and so I closed my account and accepted the loss. DO NOT USE!

Crap customer service. Placed a couple of bets with them. Won some money and went to bet on my team for this weekend. I was told I could only bet 87p. Went on live chat they said it was a tech error and they would get it fixed. I then received an email saying I was banned under their sites terms and conditions. Megan then sent me a link to their entire terms and conditions (there’s a lot). Without actually pointing me to what I’ve done wrong. Might as well not bothered to respond to me. Oh well. I’ll take my custom back to proper bookies. Since they can’t be asked to explain stuff properly. Not the end of the world cause I’m not much of a gambler but don’t appreciate rubbish customer service. i enjoy the occasional bet especially during lock down. Probably because I won £50 on a free bet when my bet lost. If you don’t want me to use it don’t send it.

I wish I could rate them 0 stars but most of all I wish I had read the reviews before making an account and depositing a penny of my money with them. I made and account with them and deposited £10 just to test them out. I like to do this any new bookmakers I consider betting with because there are a lot of shady bookmakers out them (I guess sporting bet are one of them). Anyway so I bet on a football game and the bet won. I made £50 so my account balance was now at £60. I then decided to withdraw all the money from my account to test out what their withdrawal process is like but deposited a further £20 before attempting to withdraw because my initial deposit had been by bank card, but I wanted to withdraw with PayPal because you get the money much faster. I wasn’t able to withdraw with PayPal because I hadn’t made a deposit using my PayPal account hence the further £20 deposit. My account now say my at £80. I then tried to withdraw the £80 and a couple of hours later I got an email from claiming my withdrawal request had been cancelled they were asking why I was withdrawing the money. I pretty much had to justify to them why I was withdrawing my own money and my own winnings. I was very angry but I responded to them and explained that I was withdrawing because I wanted to cash out whilst I was ahead and didn’t want to risk losing my winnings. An hour later I get an email from them saying they had gotten my response and I was now able to try again to withdraw if I wanted to. I sent another withdrawal request to go to my PayPal account and went to bed. In the morning I got another email from them saying my withdrawal request had been cancelled because I had to withdraw using the same method I had used to deposit (even though I had deposited using PayPal too). This makes no sense because I’ve deposited money using a bank card with other bookmakers and then made a deposit with PayPal at a later stage so that I could withdraw to my PayPal account instead and I never had an issue withdrawing. Also this was a problem when I wouldn’t have been able to send the withdrawal request to my PayPal account in first place as it would have had an error message saying I had to withdraw through the same method I deposited with, how instead it allowed me to send the withdrawal request and someone from their end manually cancelled it and it feels like they are just stalling and trying to find reasons to keep cancelling my withdrawal requests. So I said ok whatever I’ll withdraw to my bank account and wait a few days it’s no big deal. I would have preferred to withdraw through PayPal and have the funds in a matter of hours, but if that’s not an option then I have no problem waiting. I’m writing this review the same day I sent the withdrawal request to go to my bank account so I don’t know how it’s going to go and if they are actually going to given me my money but based on what the reviews are saying and based on what happened a couple of hours ago, I have my doubts that I’ll get my money from them. I’m probably going to be waiting for over a week without ever getting my refund and when I contact them they’ll tell me I need to provide proof of ID and then they’re either going to say the image isn’t clear enough like they have done to other people that have left reviews, or they are going to say it’s all good and tell me I can try to withdraw again. Then I’m going to have to wait another week and they are going to then ask for a bank statement and on and on and on just so they can stall my withdrawal as long as possible and hope that each they cancel my withdrawal request I just get fed up and end up betting the money away on their site.

Anyway what happened a couple of hours ago is what has led me to leave this review and further shows that the scumbags are scammers. They tried to take money out of my account even though I didn’t try to make a deposit. Thankfully when I’m testing new bookmakers I use a bank account that has a very low amount of money in case they try to pull what sporting bet tried to pull and try to take money out of my account even though I didn’t deposit. Thankfully I only had £30 in my account and the deposit was declined by my bank due to insufficient funds. I have no idea how much they tried to take from my bank account (transaction history or statement doesn’t tell me that) but it was probably a lot since they knew that the likelihood of me ever deposited money into my account they or ever using them again after the crap they had already tried to pull was slim to none. I had £300 in my PayPal account which I withdrew immediately because they have access to my PayPal account too and I’m not sure if they can take money out of my PayPal. I’ll have to call PayPal to ask if they are able to open a request to take money out of PayPal account before leaving anymore money in there and I plan on cancelling my bank card and ordering a new one so these crooks don’t have my bank details

I am so disappointed on sporting bet. I have withdrew my money from 23 December 2020 and its still pending even nw. I call and complain they said I must send bank statement and ID Copy I did that. Even now I have not receive my money. It very disappointing bcoz when you deposit within seconds its deposited when you withdraw it takes long it can be days or Month. I want to close this account and I want my money back. I m sick and tired of wasting my airtime call you and complaining. Call me I wonnt call again 076 2788 022

The major problem a lot of gamblers are facing right now is steady winning, which i was also part of such problems till I found a tipster on instagram by the name EDDY_TIPS. Ever since knowing eddy I have made over £100,000 from eddy and his 100% assured tips, all I need to do is to keep to his terms and conditions which sometimes varies and for sure he changed my life for good!!!!

Signed up and started using the site no problem. After withdrawing most of my winnings the next day my account was closed, apparently I had requested it.(I had not) They now refuse to return my winnings saying they could refund the money but they won't because it is just under £10. This is theft! I tried to escalate the issue but they just ignore me now.
They have already admitted they are keeping the money so small claims court at their expense it is.
Avoid these thieves at all cost.

This is the worse site to play . I have made a deposit on 600 pounds and with no reason they hust made a limit of 0'90 pence for bet. I asked what is the reason and not had any answer back 🤬🤮 There are the the bigger thieves I do not recomend the site !!

Reply

I signed up and deposited £50 once they emailed me saying I was fully verified by the electoral role. Once I tried to play, they closed my account. I have never held an account with these before. And they are not refunding my money. They keep telling me it is being processed but this was over a week ago. The customer service staff are rude and not helpful at all. Surely what they are doing is illegal??? Is there anything I can do to legally challenge these con artists?

Reply

Signed up on Saturday morning not a problem, got an email saying I was fully verified and could deposit and withdraw! deposited money and played for the day withdrawing money at tea time, woke up Sunday morning and my account was closed as I had self excluded on a sister site which is fair enough, but why let me sign up, tell me I’m fully verified and deposit!!

Reply

Keep making excuses not to pay my winnings, I need to provide photo ID, but not to make a deposit, then saying ID not clear enough although picture perfectly clear, wish I'd checked Trustpilot before signing up. You would think theyd want punters. Never had this problem with any other betting site.

Reply

Try to avoid this gambling site if you can. I managed to win some money they paid my winnings but after that they put a limit of 0.91 pence for me to bet.

Made a £100 deposit. Won £500 on the horses. Tried to withdraw and then logged into account later, account is suspended. Tried emailing customer service and live chat, no replies.

I had account with £600 balance . I left the account for a while. When I tried logging in again I could not. I asked them to give me access and they claimed they had not record of the account. I even sent them an email, originally from them, detailing the account username and account balance. They still claim they do not have a record of the account, luckily I do and I have sent it to them

Sporting Bet need to be honest if they are going to be a bookmaker and SportingBet are not.

Do not open an account wth them. Close your account if you have one and get your money out.

If they will not pay you the money complain to the UK and Gibraltor Gambling Commission and object to their licence. Also consider a small claims case in County Court

Absolute scam casino section. £50 at 0.40p a spin gone in minutes. Not a single bonus but over 20 teasers. Avoid this con casino & play elsewhere. This company needs to be investigated thoroughly. I will be complaining about the lack of "fair play".

No problems at all, everything as it should be. Bit baffled by all the negative reviews tbh, I found them to be a great place to play & the withdrawal process has been quick & easy.
If ever this changes/goes down hill, then obviously I'll be back to change my review – but so far I'm happy & enjoyed myself.

sportingbet.com what a shame. I recently lost all my investment. I would not touch this site with a 10 ft. pole. Thanks to my brother who told me about
(👍Cryptoarbitrage .vip) . I love it. Here making profits is like a walk in the park.

In one lecture, I was moved by my professor’s idea of investments in digital currency. Hence, I decided to approach sportingbet.com , but the supporting agents were over-friendly and so I invested in (🔔CryptoArbitrage . vip) instead. The investments have been fruitful because I have made a 340% profit on investments within a month.

Really sad seeing all these negative reviews, I've been using sportingbet for years and I can honestly say it's the best site by far, they cover all sports and if you're a fan of slots, they've got every single game you can think of (not all casinos do) their customer service has always been on point, if you use fast bank transfer you get your winnings within 24 hours, I withdrew some cash at 3pm y'day and it's already in my account 12.30pm. They've added a withdrawal lock feature which I absolutely love, there's been one time too many where I've reversed it and lost the lot, Only thing I wish they had was live videos for horse racing but apart from that I can honestly say I can't fault them so all you that are leaving bad reviews are clearly dodgy.

Reply

They have scammed 4-5 friends of mine whose stories I have heard, as well as me.

When you get a bonus, the game will often freeze and tell you there was an error. But the very worst thing they do is that on BIG WINS, like over £2000, they tell you it was a technical glitch and don't pay out. So basically, you have ZERO chance of winning anything ever. NEVER trust these gangsters. Depositing money to them is suicide. Also, once you're a problem gambler, they bombard you with advertising and WILL NEVER LET YOU DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, all they offer is a 6 week cooling off, before they send you advertising again and get you playing again. You will never be able to save money with these satanists in your life. Please dont use them, unless you want to support a company that creates human misery, and is run by cowards.

I don't really know, why all this negative about this site.

Had my account locked the next day after a big win ( got x500 at lighting roulette). But after a few days of chat with customer service and sending my documents, they returned access.

Withdrew and withdrawing.

By some reason, they accept only wire transfers for me ( both for deposit and withdraw).

Reply

Shocking customer service! I deposited £10, didn’t get my free spins. Withdrew it as I didn’t want to wait to receive them. Haven’t had a refund and had a very rude person on livechat misunderstand what I said then proceed to end the chat when trying to explain. If I could give them zero stars I would.

Absolutely disrespectful behavior. I bet on 12 of April on Belarussian futsal game. The game is Belshina- S-Group, and bet365 provide 6-13 final score and the same is everywhere else except sportingbet. Even tge official Belarus futsal federation can prove that with all documents. On that game i have 3 void bets. This is kind of scamming customers or just homding money, I don't know and I don't care, but this will be forwarded to IBAS and Gambling comision and if needed will be proceeded in the court. I am professional gambler and I have used more or less 50 different sportbooks, and I would say never ever had problem like this.

Do not use – terrible site and zero company ethics. I would rather stick my head in an oven than have even my worst enemy sign up for this site…

I am a customer at sportingbet for a long time and i can assure you the customer service might be the WORST out there. I asked them for 2 different matters in 2 different occasions and on both chats after the employee copy pasted the automated respond they just went and closed the chat down without even answering my questions….

Reply

If I could give the site 0 stars I would, they first froze my account and refused to let me access it after I withdrew funds. They then would not respond to any of my emails and after two weeks told me that they would not be giving me the money based on them thinking the account was fraud. This was clearly not the case as I had given them 5 forms of ID proving it was me. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS

Reply

I only got to make a handful of low value bets (a few pounds each) before Sportingbet restricted my account.

I understand why bookies might do this sometimes but can't see any reason why on earth they would do so in my case.

The email from them telling me this was extremely rude and unfriendly.

Seems like a really horrible company that couldn't care less about its customers.

Opened an account, deposited €20, sent verification docs and then account got locked instantly and it’s now been a week without contact. Contacted Customer service 3 times to get ‘we will respond when the appropriate department have responded’. Scam of a company, why bother with so many quality operators out there.

After reading all reviews I thought it would be only fair to write one myself.
Deposited on Saturday placed football Acca which won late Sat evening. Made withdrawal money in my account today Tuesday can’t get any better than that. If you have a complaint with the site you should ask yourself if you have done anything wrong first?

Ashley from SportingBet… I went to place a bet on the US open, saw that there was an offer and it was bet £50 inplay on the tennis and get £10 free. I accidently placed one of my bets on the ATP challenger after their link to send me to the US open matches, sent me to all of the tennis. So out of 5 tennis matched, 4 were on the open and one wasn't. Ashley was the person I was speaking to on live chat, she was reluctant and not forgiving about my situation. It was clearly visible that I was doing the offer and that it was a mistake, but no free bets were given today. Non forgiving company, awful customer service

Reply

I deposited money and after I read the reviews I decided not to play and risk it.
but wait…you can't withdraw… they are claiming and I quote:"we strongly encourage our guests to make deposits solely with the intention of playing and not withdrawing soon after. We have therefore proceeded to cancel your withdrawal request and put the funds back into your account."
whatttt???? I didn't even play, I didn't touch the bonus they gave, but I can't get my own money back?? and they encourage you not to take money out?
avoid!!!!

They have an old fashioned website that you will have to take some time to get used to so it’s not so easy to navigate. I’m sure you all will agree that for any punter, getting good odds is not only important, it is like medicine to a sick person. So that’s why I cannot recommend this bookie to anyone because they don’t give good odds.

Reply

when they see that you bet has a good percentage to win, they block the cashout from the moment the second or third event begins and does not unblock until they are lost or almost lost (or the bet is over and you win). I have many tests with lots of photos. last game of ten lost to a goal and after the second game never seen the cashout available. Everything is fine but when it comes to a 85 milla pound bet, you get nervous
