SkyBet Review

Dont bother.You spend a fortune and never get anything back especially on live casino.The mega spins for spending money each day is useless. You’re get a 10p or 50p bonus and apparently its totally random. I’ve been with them for years and only received 50p bonuses and then they stick you in the game that get nothing back. A con company that tells you everything is random. Dont trust this company. Go sign up to ladbrokes atleast they give good bonuses.

Okay, fine – but why still say my bet would pay £9.00 for the place and still only pay £4.50 (it staill says this after they settled. SHAM BET SITE,

It’s to complicated to figure out how to make a simple bet

they take your money but if you have a little win they block you out freeze your winnings and make it impossible to retreive your money scandalous company do not go there

Took my money, but I got an “account blocked” message before I could place any bet. Then they demanded a lot of documents people would use to commit identity theft, even refusing to even return the money unless I handed over the documents. No idea what they’d use the documents for, but I had to contact my bank to report the transaction, and maybe the police it that fails.

I’ve put a small deposit 3 times now with not even a win ? surely even a £1 win or something!!! Find it very strange so won’t be depositing again I’m afraid ..its a shame really as the games are different and the layout is good but that’s about all moved on to another site and I have had a better experience.

Don’t do it its crap I have put in £100 many times my fault but you win nothing Don’t bet on this site

All good for about a year then suddenly I’m banned for taking part in promotions, no reason given. Enquired about it to be told they wouldn’t give out that information. Clear they check your account to see if you’re winning to much etc. Weird thought higher of a company such as sky. Use William hill & Ladbrokes much better never been banned.

Before betting with “Skybet” I came on here read some awfull reviews ..decided not to bother, for about 5 months Now i bet in large sums so ive goto be carefull what company to choose and who i can trust. All the bad reviews on here were about not being paid out ..Anyway After speaking to “Skybet” Airing My Concearns cos i have epilepsy so stress of not being paid out (going on the reviews) I Do Not Want! ..I can honestly say ive never come across such a great customer service, I won a lot during 1st 2days of the goodwood festival then called it a day,i made 2 withdrawls on wed ..it says it usually takes 2-5 days for money to hit peoples account, My Money Was In The Next Day “Superfast”!! Now ive given 4* Based on my 1st few months with them, but if things dont change,Which i expect not my nxt review will be a 5* Review I tend to stick with the “Sportsbook” But So Far I Just Cannot Fault “Skybet” 100% So Far Great!! Im A Happy Chappy.

Have been a customer for years and have always done the football boost. They restricted my account over a year ago without explanation to maximum 50p per bet on the boosts. I no longer qualify for any free bets. Just done the soccer boost on tonight’s championship match and now restricted to 10p which is ridiculous. Will stick to Ladbrokes in future.

Honestly for SPORTS betting they are fine. FOR SLOTS they are DOGSHITE. I have NEVER won on this site on slots. Not even 1 win. Not even a bonus. It’s very pretty gross actually. What the hell is going on at Sky?? Turning slots RTP to 40% to make up losses from your sports?? Gross.

Can I ask why when offering extra places on races that you already give 1/5 of the odds a place on in handicaps are you also 2 full points worse on the price than anyone else is that because you are not best odds on them so you know people have to have that price it’s just take take take make it look good with the extra places but take money back in other places

Account suspended for no reason!!!I have been using Skybet for approximately 10 years, however 5 years ago, I suspended a Paddy Power account. The companies are now linked and despite no concerns or warnings they have permanently closed my account and I cannot open another. Absolutely disgusting customer serviceI see from many other reviews I am not the only one to experience this. I have tried to resolve and they have just told me I will never be able to have an account with them.

Reply

I have had an account for over 15 years and was asked to verify my account which I did which was confirmed in May. Then I got another request to do the same thing which I queried as to why and also why other established Bookmakers don’t have the same flawed policy issues.I won’t be using them again as it simply isn’t worth the hassle.

Worst odds guaranteed! 5% higher than other bookies’ over-round, usually more in-running. Now they won’t even offer the correct board prices post-first show on horse racing. Complain about – or even politely question – their system and you’re in their bad books. My penance is apparently having to wait 4 hours for a bet to be settled despite being annotated as ‘Won’.

Please bear with me a minute or two while I check your account for you.Stephen H15:00ok thank plus i used this code so where is my £10 free bet no bonus needed?Ok, that is a welcome offer and you’ve been warned about contacting us to ask us for free bets and that we’d close your account if you were to persist in doing so.Stephen H15:02it was a offer sorry didnt no it was the wlcome offercan you please stop threating meIt clearly states “NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY” on the image in the link you’ve provided.i didnt see that15:03We wouldn’t look to increase your spend limit, due to there being too many concerns from a safer gambling perspective and you’ve had numerous declined deposit attempts due to insufficient funds. The constant requests for free bets are a concernPlease consider this your final warning in regards to contacting us to ask us for free bets and that any further requests of this nature will result in the permanent closure of your account.Stephen Hokhave you got a problem with me?15:04all im doing is asking a question for a promo that i thought wasnt new costumers onlyam i not allowed to ask?everytime i ask a simple question on live chat i always get this15:05so have you got a problem with me?Not at all Louise, however we can’t have customers repeatedly contacting us to ask for free bets when there will be other customers queuing who need assistance with genuine queries. You have been told this numerous times now and we have warned you about this in the past. I have noted your account accordingly that you’re fully aware that we will close your account if this persists.Stephen Him not asking for free bets i was asking for a promocan you tell this to your manager pleaseYou were asking for a free bet you weren’t eligible for and we have warned you about this repeatedly, Louise.Stephen H15:06IT WAS A PROMOread again.Yes, a free bet promotion that you were not eligible for.Stephen Hi didnt no that!!i want to speak your manager pleasebecause i feel like im getting bullied here everytime i come on here15:08its not fair on meManagers don’t take live chats Louise. However, given the nature of this conversation and the fact that you’re persisting with this query despite being warned against it I will suspend your account and ask them to review it and make a decision as to whether we’ll offer you an account.Stephen Hexcuse me?you for real?you suspend my account for no reason15:09im gonna do everything in my power to get you sackedive done nothing wrongwhats a email so i can contact a manager directly?That won’t be necessary, Louise.

We have closed your account due to the repeated contacts to ask us for free bets, the large number of declined deposit attempts and the numerous safer gambling concerns that have arisen as a result of this activity and behaviour. Taking this into account, we don’t believe it would be responsible to offer you an account.Stephen HYOU NEED TO BE FIRED STEPHENYOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST METHIS IS UNFAIRi havent done anything wrong at allyour completely out of orderim gonna take this to gambling commsion also

The only thing Skybet does better over some companies is it gives you better “actual odds” than most. As for the negatives, there’s lots. Doesn’t give you an easy to follow bet history unless you want to aimlessly scroll for minutes to find a 2 week old bet…. Only extensive match options is football, as for the rest like tennis…. Lists sometimes one tenth of the matches of Bet365. Most importantly i placed a bet, won, gave me half the winnings that it should have. Attempting to find out where the rest has gone, good luck trying to get a live agent. Clicked through 4 pages before i found somewhere you could type a request for help. Typed in full what the problem was. Took me through to another page no closer other than patronising self help advice but wiped everything i typed. Typed “live agent” nothing, refreshed “live chat” refreshed, “chat help” clicked through 5-6 more pages before i repeatedly knew clicking on or requesting the live chat graphic lead me no closer to chatting to a bot, never mind a human!! End result, i’m owed money and no way of getting it. Bet365 has a lot of error faults, littered with them but they’re very reliable and it’s been my go to company for 17 years. Go with them instead.Edit, it’s now the dreaded rule 4… Got told it’s “because a horse was withdrawn all the other horses have a better chance of winning”. Maybe so but a 19 horse race, where the favourite was still running and many other short odds horses and now my winnings were knocked down by a third. Disgraceful. When i eventually found the live chat, i wanted didn’t even have the chance to reply in a mini kind of appeal, but midway through typing, midway through the live agent chatting, the chat gets knocked onto “post chat” no way of screenshotting the chat or talking to the agent, no way of backing up, just a blank screen. Getting wound up the more i look into this.

A shambles, had bets on the Open, finished over four hours ago, refreshed my account page many times, still no funds paid into my account, what’s going? Always always delays in payments, they scam enough with sky sports channels, now this.

Had account for 14 months, I don’t bet on horses or football that much, only if there is a free bet up for grabs, but ‘spend’ a lot more on the casino side. Over the last year I am up on the sports side by around £1800, got a bit lucky a couple of times, but only bet when there is a freebie of some sort attached. On the casino/slots side I am £2800 down, so overall they have made £1000 from me in 12 months, not a great amount but still profit for Sky. So what does the nice bookmaker do, they ban me from all promotions and restrict my stakes on all bets on all sports but allow me to have promotions on the casino side! That just shows how unscrupulous these bookies are, I know they are a business but they ban you from one thing because you won a bit and not from another thing because you lost a bit. Well Sky, my casino betting will be done elsewhere now.

Had a sky bet account for years and now because I had self excluded myself from another site years ago which has now merged with sky bet I am now unable to use sky bet again

Awful customer service. Avoid using them.

I had used sky bet for years and mainly availed of their promotions as the standard odds they offer are always worse than Bet365 and other companies. I had placed a bet on ‘money back of your horse is second’ and in this case my horse did come second but no refund. I had to contact them to find out why and apparently these has been an exclusion places on my account that I wasn’t aware of as they had not informed me.. they now say that the money will not be refunded and without promotions there is absolutely no reason why anyone should use these cowboys. I cannot think of a reason why I should be excluded bar the fact that I’m up over 400 quid for the year in profit and they maybe don’t like that. If you fancy a bet online stay away from this shambles of an outfit.

SHOCKING & DISGRACEFUL, their odds on golf are so bad, final major of 2022 in the open championship and because they go 11 places each way they think they can offer 33-1 when others are offering 100-1.. many of betfairs odds who are giving 12 places each way are better than skybets, its shameful.. do not bet with these people and please read all reviews.. i have just opened a betfair account as at least i am getting an extra place and better odds on some golfers.Their promotions are so so bad too, bad customer service all in all i would rate 0 out of 10

Skybet I only ever bet small never really win anything but this week I did a each way bet on the golf and it came in 4 golfers in 4 different tournament’s and skybet marked it down as a loser I’ve checked it several times and I’m right but they still won’t pay me out.. AVOID AT All COST don’t get done like me go to one of the many others to get a fair bet and payout…..

Beat casino out there there.They verify you before you are allowed to play and pay out immediately. Avoid 99% of the rest.

Very friendly and a great user experience always.

I won 20p and the next thing I know is they e banned me from all promotions. When I complained I was basically told tough, we can do whatever we want. Clearly I don’t ‘lose’ enough so they don’t want me.

Failed cash back £10 no reason no explanation cut off on live chat when I asked the question y !!! Do not use this company

Wouldn’t waste your time signing up to use SkyBet. Absolute scammers. Got all my promos restricted as I actually used them as you’re supposed to (as have some friends) Used to spend quite a bit otherwise with them, but now not giving them another penny. Gone to Bet365 instead. Also tried to scam me out of £600 once when “OptaJoe” tried to say an obvious assist wasn’t an assist. Luckily lots of other people complained on Twitter & it was overruled, but worrying what would have happened in a non-televised match. Avoid like COVID.

Lose all promos if you don’t bet everyday, sky bet same as sky tv they don’t care about customers all about what they can get.

Awful company like all other betting companies who steal of their users. Changing odds, unreturned deposits, blocking accounts and wins. TIG Consult state that they have to be taken to the Court. Visit their thisisgamblin.com website/ Youtube for live stories. They can assist and give free advice

Betway is pretty great. I have been a Betway user for quite some time and for the most part I’ve had good experiences and actually enjoy using this sportsbook. Unfortunately, I tried to withdraw $5800 last Wednesday. Betway confirmed my withdrawal and settled it as paid on Friday. I did not receive my funds while also being told to contact Gigadat to inquire. Gigadat bounced me back to Betway, stating that no withdrawal got pushed to their system, but Betway says it’s paid. This is a serious concern as no funds have been released to myself and it’s been over a week. I really do like utilizing this app, but no customer should have to chase their withdrawals, especially when our deposits always work… I have obtained my bank statement for this period to aid in this process but still have not heard from Betway. Imagine not getting the money that you earned. Not right

Worst casino site around company must make 99% of profits on this site as rigged as hell! No teasing on this site just steals your money as no matter what you play you will never get a win! Usual cpl of nothing wins but basically sit and watch your money get stolen without even hunting at a chance if you winning occasionally! Appalling

I don’t normally bother with reviews but this company really are on another level when it comes to lacking manners and being totally ignorant. All live chat seem capable of doing is demanding your bet ID even when it’s not relevant.I will bet elsewhere. Maybe they’ll improve their attitude when they lose customers

Dirty disgusting disgrace of a bookmaker.. opened account placed bets all good.. then I didnt bet for a week and then they send me 20 free Spins so I logged into play them.. less than 30 minutes later an email comes saying I now have restrictions on my account and can no longer opt into any kind of promotion Disgusting.. no wonder so many people hate this company… scum of the earth

Allowed me to place a 6 fold bet this evening then 10 mins in 1 selection goes void when i have checked the match played yesterday so i should never have been able to place it and it shouldnt of been displayed on site go into live help by the time ive got past the bot and speak to some one there said we will void the full bet for you it voided for a few seconds then came back on now how conveniently no one available in chat talk about a drastic service daylight robbery

Have some OK sports promotions but stay away from their casino games. Play like they are totally rigged seen some crazy number sequences like a number you haven’t got coming out on the roulette 6 out of 7 spins they just laugh when you complain saying its bad luck. If it was the other way round they would void the game and say malfunction. Make your own mind and use your common sense leave their games well alone
