Betfair Review

Betfair consistently display incorrect scores to try and make you place a bet. When you complain they were displaying the wrong score when you placed the bet they claim they had never displayed the wrong score.

Trustpilot is amazing! I keep visiting numerous companies sites. Betfair, there are more and more negative reviews being posted before trustpilot can delete them. About time they accepted that many Companies like Betfair have problems that are not going to go away. Check other social media sites like Facebook, the postings are the same type. Lets see how long before this posting is deleted too!

Betfair is a laughable name for these daylight robbers! More like bet fraud! Be very careful when cashing out as will change from £25 to -86p as soon as you hit the cash out button even though nothing has changed in the bet! Their excuse for this when I complained was “an act of God” I called him the end of a bell for that pathetic excuse and immediately closed my account down! Also they lie about money back if you lose as have never got my money back a few times after losing bets with this offer! I will never use bet fraud again and would not recommend it to anyone! Be very careful!

Betfair closed my account without any explanation and hold funds of mine – they are complete crooks and refuse to talk to me or at least send back my funds – this company should be banned fullstop. A seemingly very good alternative is Matchbook

Was on live chat with a chap called jack. Brilliant customer service and he aided my needs and was very polite.

Its been 3 Year since betfair closed my account without any valid purpose or reason,Till Now i have not received My Money worth 4200$ from them which was on my betfair account…Someone Please help me screw this FRAUD company

It is so unfair. They give you a wrong information on website, you place a bet using that information and they change it after. Tried to explain the issue with the contact center.. useless..There are many other companies you can use that treat customer with more respect.

I place an accumulator of 4 games live, £460 and could have won £2800, however I cashed out at £1975, 24 hours later my funds were manually adjusted back to £460 and my account has been restricted. That’s it!I have the proof.They only like losers!

It took a bit of time but they solved my issue with minimal fuss once I got to the right department.

The offer of free spins upon registration proved to be a deceptive maneuver, necessitating a deposit to place bets. After depositing $500 and winning more than double that amount, my account faced unjust restrictions during a withdrawal attempt. While they assured an investigation, it was confidential to encourage continued play. Upon resuming play, I encountered multiple table crashes and restarts, resulting in the complete loss of my winnings. Such actions are unequivocally fraudulent, leading me to transition swiftly to ‘Assurity Secure’ to evade further losses. I confidently endorse them for their dependable and trustworthy services.

I like it so much.. very helpful customer support…but just 1 comment try to fix the lagging issue in the live racing

Betfair live games especially monopoly is so bad. Take take take. I have been a customer for years but it is almost embarrassing I’m literally on my last bet with this company. What an absolute joke. I’m not addicted to gambling but I can see why people chase their money. Odd to win is extremely poor. Shame on you. Thank god I can bet with in reason! The pour souls everyday hoping for that one win that you NEVER give. Would love to see your intake ratio!

I’m betting for many years on Betfair, never had problem with it. The costumer service is quick and competent.

Just had a review with the Safer Gambling team, it was long winded, and i didn’t agree with the restriction, but hey ho they’re only doing their job.It will help us all in the long run,unless the Gambling Commision get their way and ruin the sports betting altogether.

I needed help getting my account in order. Although it was not a financial concern, I would like to say how pleased I was at the thorough process that I was taken through. It certainly reassured me that myself and my money are in good hands. Don’t hesitate to contact CS should you need them. A***

One of the best casino according to me because withdrawal are instant and I never had issues at all.

Emma the safer gambling team was really helpful and knows her stuff, betfair as a whole is certainly one of the better betting firms that look after their customers

Betfair are part of Flutterentertainment.plc which also are part of paddypower. Allegedly according to paddypower I self excluded myself permanently on two different dates in 2016 first paddypower said I self excluded myself on the 26th of June 2016 then they emailed me apparently I self excluded myself permanently at 04:30 a.m. on the 27th July 2016. The only self exclusion I did wasn’t with them it was through gamstop on the 31st August 2018 for five years ending on the 31st August 2023. William Hills and Ladbrokes both on confirmation from Gamstop contacted me through their safer gambling agents to reopen my accounts however the companies owned by Flutterentertainment.plc will not because they obviously don’t believe what Gamstop have confirmed

Betfair was really helpful gave me good knowledge of what I need thanks for being kind

Customer service don’t understand the terms of their own promotions and are generally very unhelp, whilst being very rude.

Betfair today resolved my password issues via the chat route..all good no fuss and very clear

If you ever wanted proof of how Algorithms or Random Number Gererators(RNG)work in a Casino here is 100% concrete evidence that every Casino game is controlled and manipulated inplay to determine how much a player will win or lose.What Is Algorithm Gambling?Algorithm gambling is when online games use algorithms to generate results.These algorithms are responsible for creating random outcomes that ensure fair play for everyone involved in the game. They are also programmed to determine who wins and loses aswell as how much each player will win or lose(the last paragraph proves that the outcome of every Casino game without doubt is preprogrammed before you even spin)There is a Casino game called Bounty Raid which I have considerable experience of over many years which claims to have a Return To Player(RTP)of 94.7% which is actually very low my experience of this game is that it is 100% being manipulated inplay there is nothing random about it with an RTP of about 10% which gives a huge House Edge of 90% to the Casino which is disgusting call it corruption fraud rigged whatever there is nothing fair about this Casino game.Random Number Generators (RNG)Random Number Generators are open to manipulation by any Casino the only way to realise is witnessing strange patterns of play hitting the big symbol on the spin before or after but never on the actual spin you want by constant glitches in the game and the reels being very jerky and spinning either at considerable speed or extremely slow because in the Betfair Casino operated by the corrupt Paddy Power all these things occur on a regular basis.My advice is to think very hard before you play any Casino linked to Betfair and Paddy Power infact its better to play at a stand alone Casino that is not linked to any bookmaker as the RTP will be more inline with industry standards and you will be treated fairly and with respect because in my opinion and experience any Casino that is linked to a bookmaker is fraudulent and manipulated inplay which determines how much you lose.When you play the Bounty Raid the common occurance is that you start off losing and continue to lose this is a very common theme with this Casino game you never start off winning you will find yourself shaking your head in disbelief as it is so obviously manipulated inplay I’ve played a lot of games in the Casino but this game is by far the worst I have ever come across and quite obviously fraudulent so please be aware that when you play the Betfair Casino operated by Paddy Power you are not in control of how much you win or lose the Casino is and that is extremely worrying.

Not sure why I bother with Trust Pilot – they posted me as Mickey Mouse .Anyway, as for Betfair, a message appeared saying my account had been closed – but there was over £1700 in it!!Of course they’ve got rid of the idea of letting people phone them. On chat I sent passport and driving licence but no, that wasn’t enough. They demanded endless selfies with the document, not happy with the document, then always saying the document wasn’t clear enough. Well I could read it in the photos!Only after I asked for their legal contact did suddenly all become helpful and they said the account was active. Must have been a software miracle.They declined to comment on the message saying the account had been closed after I was unable to log in.Taking me most of the afternoon.Not that they care – you can always tell if a company doesn’t care when they get rid of their phone line.

If I could give it a 0 I would. Firstly, poor app – app runs so bloody slow it makes no sense how an app made in 2023 would. Secondly, costs $6 to withdraw to your account instantly.. whilst other firms are using open banking (trustly) to withdraw straight away. Thirdly, 2023 and still doesn’t allow you to do multi-bet builders on the website – the app lets you but it doesn’t allow player props (eg. for NFL) whilst the website does (but doesn’t allow you to do multi-bet builders). Fourthly, the interface is terrible… why on player props for example, are they called “Player B” and not their actual name like any other sportsbook? This company is beyond terrible.

Apparently betfair paddypower and skybet are all run by flutterentertainment.com I contacted paddypower that told me I’d self-excluded myself permanently on the 16th June 2016, I’d have to speak to one of there safer gambling agents over the phone. I was at work but they didn’t call anyway. The following day they said I’d self excluded myself at 04:30 in July 2017. I contacted Gamstop they said I’d registered for self-exclusion on the 31st August 2018 which ended and my accounts with William Hill and Ladbrokes would be re-activated when I received an email from Gamstop saying they’d removed my self-exclusion. I then had to speak to William Hill and Ladbrokes safe gambling agents to finally get access to both accounts but Flutter.com who own betfair paddypower and skybet keep insisting I self excluded myself permanently. Hence I’ll be contacting Gamstop to further my complaints about Flutterentertainment.com possibly forwarding this one on to companies House for further investigation

The brilliant work and the effort of the staff to get to the bottom of every problem and assure their clients wellbeing . Keep it up you’re amazing!

Amazingly, my account was opened and just fine. Then I deposited £2,000, which they happily (greedily, in retrospect) accepted. They then INSTANTLY suspended my account, making it impossible to even get my money back. I’ll be filing charges against these thieves. If you send them money, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Today I had to contact Betfair ‘Chat’ and the assistant was very efficient and helpful and resolved my questions. TOP MARKS.

Same story as everyone else, opened account fully verified deposited £30 won £70 withdrew the money then account got suspended, totally disgusting.,

Today I contacted Betfair support and an agent was really helpful, good approach, understanding and communication, so I’m very happy with his assistance! So, my problem was solved, after a few questions and answers, some checks and additional clarifications.Again, I was a little bit worried before contacting BF support, but this support guy did his job very well and now I’m really satisfied!

DO NOT PLAY ON THIS SITE TOTALLY CORRUPT!!! YOU BE LUCKY TO WIN 20P DIRTY STINKING……….

I can only speak as a horse racing punter but I found them pretty good. Yes, the account got suspended pending some identification issues but when I sought help from the “bot” it was sorted, no problem. Certainly not deserving of some of the bad comments I can see.

Would rate it less if I could!! Scam of a company, take your money then suspend your account and give you no time frame at all, been 2 weeks now and not heard nothing after uploaded all relevant documents

Look at all these fake Betfair Reviews its so obvious how they are stacking on top of eachother believe me I have been a Betfair member since the early 2000’s and Betfair were brilliant until the merger with Paddy Power in 2016 now it is a total embarrassment.In my opinion the thousands and thousands of one star reviews are right the fact that all these five star reviews come in such a short space of time is highly suspicious everyone knows that Betfairs customer service is the worst in the industry with agents who can barely speak english or don’t understand betting you get cut off regularly or in mid sentence that’s why people are leaving in their droves they used to be the best believe me they are not now.

Worst site I’ve seen come across in my life ! My misses opened an account and got 10 bonus and almost everyone paid nothing bad one that paid £15 on £1 stale after 100s of spins ! Rigged to death. She played roulette and the table kicked her off on a winning spin and removed chips . Just so obviously rigged it makes you wonder how they get away with the RNG nonsense they reply with! I hope these scum bags get fined by the gambling commission but not likely as they are completely useless

I contacted betfair today which are part of skybet. They told me I needed to contact betfair about my self exclusion. They said my account with Paddy power I’d been self excluded since 13th of June 2016. Which is totally wrong because I was registered with GAMSTOP on the 31st of August 2018 for 5 years meaning my self exclusion ended on the 1st September 2023

Reply

£700 deposited not a single cash out in 3 days, No bonuses nothing, done 200 spins on a very low vol slot and didn’t even bonus once, they’ve done something, the fun never starts they are collecting for whatever reason, which is strange because wins gets them advertisement, ibas or someone needs to do an undercover investigation on them because they only seem to pass checks when they know, investigate betfair secretly and they’ll find they are cheating their costumers

Avoid at all cost I have had to cancel my bank cards won £30 tried to withdraw they then suspended my account and requested photo proof of address and identity I sent as requested for my account to still be suspended. They then asked me to resend my information so I did and a week later account still suspended when I asked them why I was once again asked to send photos when I told them I was not comfortable with sending my information so many times especially to different people they seid they can’t proceed with helping me unlock my account. With the amount of fraud and identity theft these days I have cancelled all my bank cards

Hi Betfair,Your radio advertisement on Spotify is incredibly annoying… one member of our marketing team had to go off sick because they were traumatised to their very core. Another is a prolific gambling addict and they’ve fallen off the wagon thanks to you. If I hear that song one more time I will have to submit myself to intensive therapy and i will be sending you the bill.TIA

This company are saying i self excluded myself until 16/06/2024 which i never did. Can you please ask them to remove the self exclusion. If i could i would have given them no star at all.
