Betfair Review

Speedy agent who helped resolve a promotion offer issue I was having.Gave me half the reward even though I mistakenly bet on the wrong market.

Sorry but me personally think it’s waste of time I don’t see any good offers at this site and the Price ball promotion is just another fixed 💩 game

Best odds you can get. Unlike traditional bookies, u can bet on both sides. IE for a thing to happen and for the same thing NOT to happen (Bet and lay the odds)

Plain and simple scammersClosed my account and refused to return my deposit.

They claim that eye of Horus has 96% rtp (which was previously 92% on this casino) I think they are lying and never changed it because , I just spent £10 without 1 winning spin got a bonus and it paid out 80p, not happy with this

Do not use Betfair! We want to withdraw money from our online account with Betfair. We provided all the information Betfair have requested multiple times via their chat messenger service and to 2 different email addresses they asked we send bank statements to. Betfair have not responded to the emails. The (AI) chat messenger service cuts us off and there is no other way to contact Betfair. The customer service is atrocious. And there is no way for us to withdraw our money.

After using them for quite a while they locked my account mid game and asked for lots of information I could not give or was uncomfortable sharing, so they stole my deposit and ALL my winnings. Told me on security questions I had got my father’s name wrong?? Told me my bank account was 3rd party even though it had my name on it. Citizens card id not good enough even though it recogonised by law, bank statement wrong format even though it is clearly shows proof of address and bank details and time of deposit. VERY DODGY

Better than horrible bookies with horrible 137% books. 37% over-rounds on dog racing. Shocking. Anyway they’re the original and biggest exchange. They know what they’re doing. Also staff are sound, especially if you’re an idiot like myself that keeps forgetting passwords etc… 10/10

I opened my Betfair account in early 2023 and initially deposited funds with no issues. However, after taking a break from online gaming for six months, I returned to Betfair in June 2024 and started winning back some of the money I had previously lost. To my surprise, my account was restricted, and I was unable to withdraw my remaining balance of $277.What followed was an absolute nightmare. Betfair’s support team continuously refused to explain what “breach” I had supposedly committed. Their generic response has been: *“Unfortunately, we would not have any further information regarding the reason for the closure. My apologies for any inconvenience caused.”* No specifics, no details—nothing. When I pushed for more information, I was given a vague apology with no resolution.Even more concerning, when I threatened legal action, they offered me a small compensation of $20, which seems completely inappropriate if they truly believed I was in breach of their terms. If I were genuinely violating their rules, there would be no reason to offer compensation in the first place.Betfair has not only withheld my funds but also blocked my communication, including my email, leaving me with no way to follow up. One of their support agents even admitted, *“I really wish I could do more for you… but unfortunately, my hands are tied.”* This reveals a significant problem within Betfair, where even their own support staff is aware that something is wrong but unable to help.I feel completely disregarded and unprotected by Betfair. They refuse to provide any clear answers or resolve the issue, which makes me fear this might not be an isolated case. I would strongly advise anyone to **be cautious** when dealing with Betfair, as their lack of transparency and refusal to release my funds has caused unnecessary stress and financial harm.**Conclusion**: **Avoid Betfair at all costs**. They have terrible customer service, lack transparency, and appear to withhold funds without providing proper reasons.

Saya was helpful and had a quick resolution to my issue which I thought was going to be a lot more complicated

What a joke company. Sportsbook is a complete joke and even though I’ve only had a few bets on sportsbook and have lost, the maximum bet is to win about £100 max. Even odds on tennis bets restrict to £80 or around there. What’s the point in having sportsbook if they are pushing for you to use exchange so they can take their commission. The people in charge of this Mickey Mouse company are conmen and lucky they hide away like little girls

Customer service chat was very helpful! Quick efficient and sorted the problem in less than an hour!

So far so good. Returning customer who had problems with his last provider. So tried Betfair again. No problems updating address and reactivating account.Not forced the horrid deposit limits on or even asked me to set them which I will not. Never used these new fangled tools nor ever will.I am a strong willed person who has his own safety checks in place. Like I cannot get at my savings without 90 days notice. Also have a sperate bank used just for investments. Be it betting or buying shares.

Excellent agents,readily available and goes an extra mile to assist

From the reviews this company looks terrible anyway, but leaving a bad review because they changed my beat the drop pot from £1000 to £100, what’s the point in tryna answer 12 questions for 100 quid hahaha atleast paddypower have a 5 grand pot so you actually feel like your tryna work towards something decent, but yeah not gonna be using this anymore mainly cos they did that

Reply

Hopeless. Deposited a small amount for a bet and received an “unknown error” message. Live chat were spectacularly bad, asking me for bank details and screenshots…they took my money easily enough but unwilling to help or have someone call me to resolve it. Never going near this cowboy outfit again and nor should you.

The app is awful.Won a bet fair and square and wasn’t paid out properly. Got in contact with customer service and told me it was a ‘late bet’ despite the bet being placed 30 mins before kick off. There boosts also don’t work as some customers get £20 max stakes while mine only gets a £2 max. Far better betting sites i’ve never had a problem with out there. Don’t bother giving these thieves your money

Not paying out on bets, says paying 4 places but only pay out on 3, not giving out free bets when you’ve qualified for them. Scam company

Dont Trust this website they can suspend your bet just because they like . Matches can go on normally you can even bet them again but your cash out is suspended not matter winning or loosing.If you wanna play online bet with cash outs dont choose this site they can damage you easilly!As well you can have winning bet go to cash out and they change the price dramatically in a milisecond so the moment you double tap the price the second tab they drop and you cash out tottaly deferent ammmount event all your bets are winning witch make no sense support cannot do anything about it carefull this website is horror movie with your money!

quick troubleshooting and no annoying oversights, I really recommend it

I spoke to a well trained customer services officer and they raised my concerns and made it a priority issue regarding my betfair monthly rewards

I think the worst online casino ever i was thinking is it a good company very bad customer service if they answered very bad app and much more to steal your money

i could not reccomend my expperience with betfair highly enough as i found emma to know exactly what she was doing and solved my problem quickly and efficiently

I have had contact from the Betfair team recently – via a call and also through their Chat function. I found both experiences to be highly positive and my issue was quickly resolved. Very impressed.

Sought clarification on rewards change and response was quick and confirmed the situation. 5 stars

Thankyou to the safer gambling team where Oisin was very professional and helpful with my re activation ! Thanks BETFAIR ! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Fast friendly customer service , Ateeque was very helpful to sort my issue fast.

Mostly fine but their customer service people are woefully undertrained for anything except basic queries. Exchange customers with experience should get better support. They also make margin calls of 100% on some antepost books, which ought to be illegal. My cash balance regularly goes negative as a result of unannounced changes in the rules.

I recently found myself in a frustrating battle with Betfair’s customer service that has left me questioning their competence. My journey began when I tried to verify my account, but what should have been a straightforward process quickly turned into a nightmare With Rakesh. After I requested to delete my account, I learned it had simply been disabled instead.When I reached out again to reactivate it, I was shocked by the level of information they demanded, everything from various forms of ID down to my birth certificate. Raheem, one of the representatives I spoke with, casually dismissed my National ID as “electoral,” insisting it wasn’t valid. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, the representative asked me, “Why?” a question I found incredibly frustrating. Despite my repeated requests, Raheem insisted that I needed to provide my birth certificate just to speak with a superior. This raised an immediate red flag, why would a company require additional forms of ID merely to escalate a complaint? I eventually gave him the birth certificate however I was denied the chance to escalate the matter.To top it off, I was informed that their team would get back to me, but could not provide a timeline. It’s outrageous that in this day and age, a company can leave customers hanging like this. This experience raises serious questions about the effectiveness and transparency of their support system, leaving me… and likely many others… feeling neglected and frustrated.UPDATE: I contacted again and Mohammed was the best and was able to resolved all my issues. my account is reactivated and verified all at once. And he’s why I updated initial 1 star rating to 3 but Mohammed is a 5 star rating.A.K.World News

Worst place to gamble, almost feels rigged! £1000+ down and not even a sign of a win. I could deposit £2000 right now play 50p spins on any slot and I will loose the lot, the app is awful terrible provider! Go for someone like 888 casino! Honestly!

Offered a £10 deposit in exchange for a £10 Freebet, never received the promotion, no help from advisors, kept handing me over to different members of staff. Such a mess, glad it was only a tenner, but will never use again.

Came back to Betfair after becoming bored of gambling on line and spending time away from it.A simple routine on-line with help available to resume my account without waiting on the phone listening to drab music.All the right questions were asked which shows they take responsible gambling seriously!I came back to Betfair because they offer good odds in the Sportsbook.

Updated privacy policy with no disclosure they have updated it. Website footer updated with no disclosure they have updated it. Betfair are not a company , it’s a website only and the Betfair companies listed as having licences belong to Flutter entertainment. All companies became jointly owned with paddy power in 2016 when they merged. Betfair group PLC merged with paddy power PLC to become Flutter entertainment but your still led to believe that Betfair is a company of its own as they merged but kept it without even changing its name!. The new privacy policy confirms Flutter are using your data across all their brands and your terms and conditions even allow all brands to access your account! This won’t help them to use your data to prevent problem gambling they will use it only for commercial gain and tell you that safer gambling controls required on Betfair don’t apply to paddy power etc, if you haven’t been notified of the new privacy policy (date shown as last updated was 2018 which is wrong. Was updated after 25/7/24) contact a solicitor. If they haven’t abided by social responsibility licence requirement then ignore their terms denying liability and report them to the gambling commission.

Spoke to Lia today from customer services. Had a 2 factor authentication issue where Betfair expected me to give codes even though it was set up. Lia took the query, investigated, disabled it from the backend and gave clear instruction how to proceed. Other customer services should take a look how Betfair do it, listen, investigate, resolve and protect for the future, nice one,thanks Lia

Absolutely fell for it, similar to so many others. No chance of getting a win on games – incredible what these companies get away with.

4 years and not verified even after sending all id, passport, driving license,bank statements, bank card front and back letter of residence, utility bills….etc anything you can think of they ask for it….then they disappear. When they finally email you back they ask for the same thing all over again been doing these for the past 4 years. I think is a bot not a real human behind the scene all along i’m interacting with a bot. The feeling i’m getting is a program relooping itself.

Very helpful and understanding. Aware that some of us only want traditional gambling on horses and dogs and are not interested in casino gambling.
