Betfred Review

Not to be trusted. They will do whatever they can to prevent you from withdrawing your money so that they could steal it from you and keep it. Full of excuses and b*llsh*t.

Just fake the reviews say it allPaddy power and bet fair both run by the same company. Both places a complete rip of. Paddy Powers reward club is fake spend 100 pounds and get 5 pounds off free spins. OK so first you won’t win with your 100 pounds on minimum steaks. And when you get your 5 pounds of free spins you won’t win nothing. I have played here for nearly 2 years and iv never had a win that has paid me 200 x my bet size on slots. So when I tell them this they say its not every day you will win big. They should say not every year you will win big. And is a 200 times your bet a big win when slots can pay up to a 50.000 x now they are the wins you don’t get often. Not wins like 100 x, 150 x, 200 x, what are common now the last 50 bonus round on slots have only paid me less that a 50 x. Now I use to build Web sites and I know that they can control what you win and loose all players who have been a member for over 3 months will start to notice that you will not win big. You will win if your a brand newel player. As they plant the seed in your head. It took me over 25 minutes to get my first and only slot bonus round what paid me a fantastic 3 pound and 37 p. They say its all random but is it. So you have paddy power and bet fair at 1.4 star rating. OK my second point is, Game provides won’t give casinos with low ratings lots of big winning rgn numbers what are random number generator. But is it all random. Nope this is what I know game providers have access to this information regarding random number generated so they simply put more loosing spins in 1 million spins what they sell to casinos and them games providers do have shares in other casinos what there friends own they want to get the ratings up on them casinos to help friends and take there share prices right up. Its all a big con at the end of the day. Now I want you to read at least 1.000 reviews on here and see how many people who. Say they have won big of had a big win in 2 years

Ok for a bet as long as your not a consistent Winner like all bookmakers they’ll soon but the brakes on you !! If you choose to play the games you’ll get cleaned period!!!! There will be no mercy shown -the plus is you will never get restricted because you’ll never win it’s that simple ??

I would give minus 10 starts if I could.Absoloute con, didnt recieve welcome bonus.. Apparently because i said i didnt want one… Ehhh hello why wouldn’t I want one.Was nothing but polite on the chat then said they are obviously running a scam, no apologise or anything theu just cloased the conversation.Avoid, avoid, avoid

Paddy is very good for a bet with very quick withdrawal to debit card instant with PP plus card .Probably the best for rewards and free promotion offers .The mobile app is very dependable and easy to use as well?

Beware when frying to withdraw any amount over a couple of hundred pounds. They’ll start messing you about ,asking for ridiculous amounts of I.D, citing all sorts of rules and regulations. I think this is done to keep the money in their accounts for as long as possible, earning interest. As well as it being incredibly frustrating and unnecessary , it gives the impression that they might go bust at any minute.

betfred has stole £16,000 from a customer and refused to return this money until thisisgambling.com took betfred to court! gambling commission knows about this and still issues licence to this company! be very careful with those crooks, if you need help getting your stolen money back, thisisgambling.com will also be able to assist you.

Really poor pay outs compared to skybet won’t be using anymore it’s just a rip of but I suspect there are a very very few that get paid out.

This site has access to slot settings and makes them never win use a site like jaak or a sister site to jaak those guys know how to set the slots up betfred is a complete scam they say they use an rng but ive predicted 3 scatters over a 100 times now when you get your money toYour last 3 spins worth it will drop a near miss of 3 scatters when you need 4 to make you think there is a win coming so you deposit again ive noticed its only this site that has this weird feture im reporting them to the gambling commission to take a deep and hard look at there profits as every slot should only earn them around 6% of whats put in by everyone clearly its going to be a lot higher

I cannot stress this enough.Do not waste your hard earned money with this company. They have owed me £950 for over a week.They first told me everything had been processed and would be given to me within 3 working days. Failing that, if it doesnt reach my account within 3 working days, they would provide me with an ARN code so my bank could locate the payment. 2 days after the point they should have given me this code, they once again moved the goal posts to 8 working days, claiming that there was an issue with visa payments. All this after claiming the issue was because they didnt pay me with visa direct ( which btw, they never have, and i have emails from them saying they both do and do not use visa direct, and have never and will never provide me with this service )Its been lie, after lie, after lie, after lie. They say the money is now the banks issue, but they wont even offer me proof of payment, to help the bank locate.If you want your winnings to be lost, dont even think about betting with novibet. Their website is nice, their odds are okay, but their customer service, and their lies, are enough to make a gambler lose more hair than they already deserve.

Another bookie happy to advertise good odds and perks but unwilling to lay unless your a mug. £1 maximum bet says it all. Hides behind responsible gambling banner making you jump through hoops with documents, bank statements, P60’s, wage slips, pension statements etc which will take months only to be told you can bet on the casino which I never have or never want to or you can bet a £1 on the horses, very responsible!

Horrendous company. Rob, steal and cheat their customers.Stole £200 off me claiming they forgot to turn a market in play and so voided bet. They have no contact telephone number, no email address but only a sh1tty Live Chat service staffed by foreigners who leave you waiting 30 minutes for a reply and don’t understand English.Yes the company is that bad!Betfair and Paddy Power are run by the same people so stay clear of Paddy Power aswell.They are forced to advertise heavily on TV and Radio as no one has a good word to say about them, so they are looking to prey on the naive who have no idea how corrupt and unscrupulous they are.Do NOT join Betfair or Paddy Power as they will take your money and try to ruin your life. There is no proper regulation in the industry so they behave how they like, (see Football Index saga where over £100 million was stolen).

I logged into BetFred today for the second time… After winning on my first ever £10 I withdrew £80 but won around £100+ few days ago, I thought I would try again. I Baught a £1 scratch card and won £40. The money was in my account within few hours too. Well Happy with Betfred. Thank you.

New to this site and wished I had read reviews before hand. If you like a spin on slots then stay away from this money grabbing con merchants after just a few deposits, the spins were so bad I closed my account.

What a great start with bonuses, then a week into the site I placed a bet and it deducted the balance said the bet was placed. I come back half hour later thinking I won and bang no trace of the bet and my stake given back. I contacted them and their response was, we are sorry have a good night and your stake was given back to you. Wow so generous and caring. Also Sportnation I hope you respond to this and I’ll throw the transcripts in for you too.

Worst site ever existed. For starters, sites always freezing where litterly you have to keep restarting your phone everytimr you come on this site as it messes with your whole Internet browser. Absolute joke it is. Most times it vN take up2 20 minutes from the minute your logged onto the site to play one lousy game for them only to get all your money from you. Crazy. Thousands I’ve deposited in the last 6 month alone and not once have I won over £90 in the whole year n half I’ve been with them. Their jokers. I will not be playing on here again.

Good odds. Easy to use site.Could have more promotions.Reward points could be more generous.

AVOID! I’ve been betting with these a week, had a few winners, made a few withdrawals, account gets locked and asked to verify. I send my documents in as asked. All this time though my account is locked so I can’t use it, over a day later nothing still. Asked to withdraw my funds as I had done nothing wrong, ghat request got ignored. I have money in my account but can’t access it. I have some shocking reviews, the fact you have to buy or earn best price on horses is a joke. It was ok ish untill I started .among withdrawals, oh and I was told its with the safer gambling team aswell so if you like a bet on your day off do use these because if you place more than 1 bet it’s makes you look like your not in control and they review your account to make sure you can afford it. I will be withdrawing funds and closing account as soon as I have access again, when ever that will be.

It’s absolutely awful and I amAnnoyed they swallow money without even a bonus you can’t even get on anything on 20p spins let alone £4-10 it’s a joke Verification takes 8 weeks Need shutting down

They say " deposit £10 and get £30 in free bets " . they lie . No free bet . waited for an hour on a chat forum to be told ," sorry. nothing we can do.

When I first used this site I found it satisfactory but obviously far below the main sites like bet365. What I liked about it was it has a decent loyalty scheme where you earn points on every bet and these aquire over a short period of time to a decent free bet. However, this site dramatically changed when I started to do well and have a bit of luck. I managed to build my balance up to over 2500 with some very lucky football bets and after a lucky weekend I went to put on a Monday night accum only to find my max bet allowed was 1p, yes 1p. When I contacted them initially they said it was their traders and nothing to do with customer services and then after some gentle pushing they quoted some small print about basically they can do what they want. I asked for one reason why they were doing this and their response was that they were unlikely to revert any changes made. Bunch of amateurs and it was clear by my betting pattern that I simply got lucky and if they had have done the right thing they would been on the right side of me in a short space of time, STAY AWAY.

False advertisement. If I could leave a photo here I would. Signed up lost my bet and got no free bet as stated I would on sign up. Sad site Sad treatment. Sites like this are obviously on there way out. Not worth the headache and unusual odds on games somethings not right here. In my opinion.

Reply

I will just basically say what everyone else did.Scamm and rigged games.6 different games deposit to play each not even a one bonus all games catching errors just to interfere with you getting bonus.They scumbags should be prosecuted.They deserve proper fee from gambling commission like some other sites.Hopefully soon it’s going to happen.Karma is always coming back and I’m sure those shameless thieves will pay.Highly recommend to avoid those thieves.Shamless without any qualities or dignity.

I'm pleased with Betfred after depositing £10 to take advantage of the welome offer of 100 free spins. I was not credited with my free spins straight away, although the ad did state I must play off my £10 on slots to recive the 100 free spins.
I won £12 within the second spin, and was happy as this gave me 12 more spins as I was playing £1 a spin. I then won £3 on the fourth spin. And on the sixth spin I won £89 … I couldnt belive it so I played off my deposit of £10 plus played off the £12 £3 and 9 of the £89 leaving me with a round sum of £80 to withdraw. The withdaw process was simple, just hit the withdraw button checked card details and accepted to withdraw. A message popped up to say that the funds would be in my account within 48hrs, this all happened early hours Sunday Morning 4am so I did not expect when logging onto online banking at 2pm Sunday (not even 12 hours later) to find my £80 was in my account. Fair play ! I have tryed lots of online slots and casinos and if im honest I usually take advantage of the welcome bonus and never visit the site again, as im sure lots of you do the same. With these other sites Im lucky if I get a small win from my first deposit and welcome spins.
I Could Not belive how much I won back on my small deposit of £10. I havent even played my free spins yet but I will stick with this site and play a little now and again. It makes me laugh reading the reviews of pepole angry that they havent won anything from their free spins or small deposits. They obviously cant afford to be playing these games if they get so angry at not winning. Expect nothing and be pleasantly supprised when you win somthing, you never know it could be the jackpot one day.

Jesus. Appalling site!! I joined up registering with the play £10 on spin games to receive 100 free spins. I've played (wagered) my £10 adding not a single win at all playing 20p-40p spin .. my deposit lasted no more than 1 minute!! Not 1p win, absolutely 0p on every spin. Disgusted I thought ok I've got my 100 free spins maybe get something back… NO!! AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHAT LIVE SUPPORT I kept getting told different things.. wait 48 hours! Make sure you've wagered your ten pounds! They were no help whatsoever so ever!!!!!! Just spoke again to be told I should receive a txt message with a code before 5pm today (its now 2.50pm) once I get it I then have to follow the txt message put the code in and then … are you ready…wait a further 24 hours!! Then just shuts the live chat down whilst I was replying!! Very rude. So still no free spins very very very misleading to get you to join up n waste your money. Greedy thieves I'm going to wait and see if I get these free spins then shutting my account down they will not get a bloody penny more from me. That's a fact. Please be aware and don't fall for their lying misleading promotions.
STAY CLEAR OF THIS SITE PLEASE READ PLAYERS REVIEWS BEFORE JOINING UP. I WISH I HAD!!
And one last thing…I can bet the free phantom 100 spins will maybe win 50p something like that because I've played on sites quite similar to this pathetic thieving sites before. Praying the day they get shut down. Scum.

Proper theives, i have a account with betfred only last sunday 10/10/21 got a tx and email off them saying have 5 free spins on us they call it super spins day… There is also promos which you opt in and get free spin rewards on the monday they call that one free spin acc, so i thought might aswell opt in if im going to play anyway!!! When i went to login i was shocked to find out that my access was denied and the reason was safer gambling team were reviewing my account. Its now saturday after and account is still the same, no access and ripped of all my bonuses… I find it really insulting that they can do this after spending good earned money. I mean come on would you shut a book if you wanted to study it? Betfred get a grip or get lost you theiving bunch of c@#*s.

Basically I could write a whole SA on why I'm so furious with Betfred , but what's the point , they won't listen , and they don't care??

IV spent a lot of my own hard earned money with these jokers , and I'm going to take my hard earned money else where , you have lost a loyal and honest customer Betfred tut tut , your customer service and compliance team stinks I'm afraid , Absolute con artists !!
I can also see by your trust pilot reviews , you won't be in buisiness much longer ,if you carry on the way you are !!!!!!!

Deposit not even lasting a minute!!! Such a joke. All these sites have got pure greedy since covid with constant take take take!! No bonus no features. Disgusting.

I gave in money and won. When I tried to withdraw it they said that they can't withdraw Mastercard. So basically you give your money in and if you win you can't withdraw it. I have screenshot of the conversation where they refuse my withdrawal.

Pieces of scum refuse to withdraw your own money

Take great care not to deposit here

I too have had a problem with betfred regarding their greyhound promotion. I have placed various bets as I always do on the grey hounds usually of £10 wins. But they say i haven't qualified for the promotion due to not being within a time scale.how can you check these when you online account doesn't allow you access to these things. I have to take their word for it but I know I placed more than three bets within their time scale. Rip Off comes to mind. Dont use BetFred go to a bookie that is big and seldom make mistakes like William Hill. Their site is much better!

Wow wow wow!! This is by far the worst betting site and also the machines in store are just as bad. Just avoid playing or betting with them so they go bust. It’s a complete scam. I’m a gambler and I’ve won and lost thousands with many betting companies but I’ve literally never ever won with betfred. It’s not just bad luck when I use them, it’s scamming!! If you are going to have a bet with someone then just make sure it isn’t betfred. They need to be taken down!

The returns on the games on this site are a disgrace. Although they claim similar return to player percentage to other sites on the same games you consistently get at least 20% less returns the games also start playing slowly which almost always means you are going too lose. If you enjoy losing your money without getting any value or decent gameplay this site will deliver that. I would not recommend this site to my worst enemy. Definitely one too avoid

1 win totalling 40p in 3 deposits.. shocking.

Their support team will lie direct to your face. I requested support because when clicking £10 button their app would make the a bet of my full balance instead.

Their support team flat out told me that there is no way that a customer can place a bet for their whole balance without typing in the full balance. Right in the betting slip is the option to go "all in". So either their support staff are liars or they are incompetent and lack basic knowledge of their own faulty platform.

Either way go with a different bookmaker who will not steal from you and then lie to you about it.

Placed bet at 11/1 on a horse, it won at 14/1, they don't give best odds on board price.

Deposited £10… but any game I went into showed no funds. The app is shocking, so buggy and poorly designed that it's impossible to navigate sometimes. The live chat support doesn't allow you to write an initial comment meaning you can't move on to the chat. And after all that I want to simply take my money back out and I have to wait up to 7 days… joke

after thousands of negative reviews and unhappy customers who are struggling to withdraw their money or whos winnings/deposits have been stolen by betfred, gambling commission is still issuing licence to this company… this indicates how careless the gambling commission is towards their users! thisisgambling.com seems to be the only company that is helpful and that can offer assistance in getting your stolen money back from betfred. i would strongly advise for unhappy users of betfred to get in touch with thisisgambling.com! it is not fair that betfred keep getting away with crime so make sure you don't let them…

They run a promotion where you could get a 10 pounds voucher. All customers had to do was to opt-in by clicking on a banner. After the deadline had passed I called to chase it up (which is pretty normal by their standards) and was told that "unfortunately I was not successful in opting in". The agent then proceeded to ask me IF I HAVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT I OPTED IN (???). She was "unable" to do anything of course. Unable to find my account, unable to credit the voucher and finally unable to credit a free bet instead. And that wasn't even the first time this happened! What a terrible company. Real dinosaurs awaiting their extinction.

It's a boring site with false advertising. I have never received any free bets as part of promo regarding their adverts. I requested that they close my account as of today.

I have played many online gaming sites in my time, you name the site and I have played it. Out of all of them, I can honestly say that my time and money invested was a great experience with this site. Why? Because I came here to have fun and try to win some money and I did on a high percentage of times I visited this site. Highly recommend the sports and gaming/casino too anyone who likes a flutter.

Warning — Theives —–, I signed up yesterday and was waiting for my welcome bonus. When i queried this, I was told that i was unable to have bonuses as someone who has lived at my house previously has already claimed them. When i advised them that it was unreasonable for them to expect me to know any details from the previous tenant, they have blocked me stating that " everybody knows that you ring a company to check you are eligable first." I have never heard of anybody ringing a company to check on other people and this is in fact against the GDPR laws. So again — Do not do business with these people as they are thieves, conmen and liars..
