SkyBet Review

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.

I have been with them for around a year and only had great experience. Withdrawal times and process is brilliant and I always will have respect for companies who handle transactions trouble free and are responsive.

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.

It is really good, as I am using it from more then one years now, but the only thing which I am facing now days that whenever I am trying to deposit they keep my miney on hold for long tym as in for more then 10 days this is not acceptable, it is my money, yeah but all the other things are good, yes sometime they change bet as well but now onwards I have start taking screenshots, the only concern is deposit money sometime get stuck which they use to credit back after a long time, so mine is still stuck and waiting to be get credited in my account. When I asked for compensation they denied and now these days chat support is pathetic

I bet small amounts on football to make Norwich v Watford like games a little more interesting. Despite Sky bombarding the media with safe gambling messages they have a scheme that encourages people to bet £25 weekly on even plus bets in return of £5 free bet.
I’m luckily enough am able to control my impulses so am happy to take advantage.
However, Sky don’t payout. This has happened several times and I have double checked that I met the winning criteria.
On contacting customer services they made it very difficult to resolve the issue. They required every bit of personal data to access your account. Whilst I may agree that their systems are secure they can’t say their staff are. Giving that amount of personal data to any individual is opening you up to fraud.
I suffered a major fraud in the past and after a police investigation it was a call centre member of staff who was giving card details to organised crime!
No Skybet deserve their very poor rating. They don’t honour their bets and their management of personal data is poor.

So this is probably my 3rd or 4th moan about this terrible Casino! I complained in about may/June about playing Gonzo megaways and being £1200 down with no bonuses or features! To finally get one and receive £80 from it. Got the usual generic message about the RTP and what not! Anyway we are now nearly in November and haven’t had another bonus since on that slot or taken any money back from these lot. I have a limit of £50 a week and only play this one game! These lot are scammers! Don’t be like me and keep getting robbed! Go else where! these guys are legal criminals!!

I had took a break since February. Logged back in today .. no issue .. deposited .. no issue. Went to play and it’s saying it looks like I’m logged out so can’t play. Chat was answering for a few mins then kept logging out. Says there is 1 person ahead of me the last hour.

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

Just in the process of switching
Probs to bet 365
I Don't like skybets idea that paying extra places in a race takes away your best odds option !
And it's creeping into most races now ,meaning you rarely get best odds , not being a big e/w gambler it no longer suits me

terrible costumer service a lady called brook, very rude and no help, low rtp and seriously rinses your money, be warned lol there not intrested in loyal costumers, they only want new costumers, the reviews pretty much sums them up, they need a shake up of staff

Placed a bet on sky bet app. The app stated it was 0-1 9 minutes into the game. Once I placed the bet I pressed the launch game to watch it. The correct score was 2-2 90 minutes. Messaged sky bet who clearly don’t care and refused a refund, just lost themselves a customer absolute disgrace.

Been a regular user for over three years, I won some and lost some over the years. For a couple of months I’d not been that lucky, then for some reason they decided to withdraw my ability to claim my 50 free spin reward each week and removed their much advertised daily free spin. On enquiring I was told that they couldn’t tell me exactly why but it was for “business reasons”. Quite happy to lose my money elsewhere in future.

Reply

My account got suspended after a large win and they gave no explanation. For the many months of losing money, the account was just fine, but as soon as I got a win, they suspended it with no explanation given. Avoid

Complete con. Would never use this site again, they offer promotions to lure you in and once you opt in to those promotions you never receive the reward. Will do anything to make money and con you. Utter waste of time, sticking to my usual site in future.

Reply

Having had dealings with a few gambling firms my expectations are never overtly high, as they typically try as hard as they can to lure you in but conversely put obstacles in your way if you have luck and want to withdraw, take your money etc… I get that is how they make money but I always hope for more scruples, even when dealing with something as 'taboo' as gambling.

However, having had a lengthy interaction with Josh in SkyBet customer care I am seriously impressed. He was courteous, took time to explain many things that I needed an understanding of and took time out of his day to make sure that my interaction with SkyBet was a positive one. So far so good and huge thanks to Josh for being patient, polite and kind.

Waste of money, waste of time. It's like a hole in your pocket, money sucking has no end….

I'd of given a zero but it didn't give me that option. My mum won virtual football of £320 they requested documents which she sent they've paid her £232 and kept £90. They are the greediest betting site ever. I can't believe they let you deposit your money and then they suspend your account. Avoid these scammers at all cost. I'm taking this further

Really bad service I successfully cashed out on a bet and then it didn’t and they refused to help with it. Just palmed me off saying it was because of a game had trouble in it but I cashed out way before that happened!!!

Skybet is the worst and greediest bookmaker in the UK, you can't win on their slots or bingo because they appear to be rigged to lose, they have a prize wheel stating you can have a free spin, but all you get is either 3 free spins which are dead spins mostly or a 10p bonus sometimes a 50p bonus can be won, but when you play the bonus you always lose, they won't give you nothing free free spins are supposed to be winners, their bingo brings up the same winners over and over with probably fake accounts winning them. Concerning the horse racing you don't get best odds so if you took a price at say 10/1 and it returned at 33/1 you don't get the bigger odds. It's the worst site I've ever been on so think again before you join this Disgraceful bookmakers site or you will end up broke.

SkyBet became very 'concerned' about my recent betting. I pointed out that I had deposited a great deal less in recent months than any time previously, due to a rare successful run! I suggested that their current concerns may be due more to my success than anything else. Cue extra requests for ID, difficulties withdrawing, limited stakes etc. Don't have the gall to win money off these chancers – the casino bouncers are waiting by your car.

Like so many others, SkyBets have restricted my account from using their 'Free Bets'

When contacted they couldn't/wouldn't explain why.

Their email mentions Limiting Liability:
I had a £50 balance.
Made 1 minor withdrawal in a year.

SkyBet: Betting, Sh:tter!

Please please please stay away from these completely rigged games. I play roulette and I never win, yeah people can say “well don’t play” but whenever I win a few quid on the footy on a Saturday 30/40 pounds it always takes every penny . There is no way that this is random sadly to say . And I don’t try and win an absolute fortune , most times I try to double my money and have a bit of fun this has never happened in the last year or so . So sometimes I have a £30 balance stake £4 a spin and there’s no chance of ever having a run. Stay away from this rigged game. You have been warned🙄

The have asked me for ID multiple times and are now refusing to give me my withdrawal.

They report fake scores then change the score. Do not trust

after thousands of negative reviews and unhappy customers who are struggling to withdraw their money or whos winnings/deposits have been stolen by skybet, 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 skybet. i would strongly advise for unhappy users of skybet to get in touch with thisisgambling.com! it is not fair that skybet keep getting away with crime so make sure you don't let them…

Like others have I have been advised that they have withdrawn all offers from my account. The reason seems to be that I was moderately successful (profit of less than £150 over 6 months).

Generally their odds and markers are worse that their competitors and it was only the offers which made them attractive.

Only use the company if you intent to lose and you will have no problems

Customer service woman (Debbie R) was pedantic, rude and clearly lacked enough knowledge to do her job effectively. Spoke to me in a rude and sarcastic manner. Will be closing my account purely based on the customer service I received.

Attempted many times this evening to establish a Half Time Double result, one team won , second team postponed, Asked On chat for a settlement, first chat , disconnected me, second attempt, no reply at all. They continuously ask for your details having already entered them initially, a disgusting service from this so called customer service, stay clear , they do not care

Wanted to increase credit limit as I could afford it – yet after contacting said they would be decreasing credit limit. Obviously they know my financial situation better than me so I can’t even spend my own money how I want. Great service Clowns.🤪

On several occasions cannot withdraw cash from my account on several occasions on line. Had to phone to withdraw which is not acceptable.Will not be using Sky Bet in future because of this. Thanks

Sky bet are awful, I couldn’t cash out a large amount and there was no reason just that they didn’t want to pay it out, they lied and said odds kept changing! Absolute rubbish as tried for over 20 minutes constantly & when I questioned them I got a snotty reply saying when you put a bet on you should see it through not intend on cashing out!!! Why have the cash out on there at all then!!!!! Con artist and judging by the amount of times they have done this to people I’m surprised this hasn’t been investigated further!!! AVOID. Use a more honest site with better customer service

Rip off, put bet on 10/1 to win, won at 16/1 but only paid out on 10/1 saying they was paying extra place 4 instead of 3, I did not do a EW bet I done a win bet . Rotton scamers

I was a SLYBET customer for almost 2 years.
Last week I received an email stating I was no longer eligible for promos/SLYBET club/free bets etc.
Over the 2 years my account is in profit by the massive sum of £20.
What is wrong with these bookmakers they should be investigated because they clearly only want “customers” who will spend crazy sums of money every week and they will get “rewards”
Goodbye SLYBET sorry I didn’t lose enough money in my short time as a customer

The main site I use for football and racing. Odds are competitive, great offers most days, app layout is good apart from the Scottish leagues being way down the page which is just silly. Other than that all good.

Been with skybet for a few years. One good feature is that when you bet 25 in a week you get a fiver free bet. There are also other promos. Yesterday a received a note to say all of my free bets were being frozen. I tried to find out what I had done wrong (other than win) and was told trader can freeze an account for no reason (ie if you don't lose). I was flabbergasted. I suggested if I had behaved in a way that was wrong to let me know and I'd not do it… No reason was given and I was told hard luck. Personally I think its really bad, if I was losing would they have frozen the account….. Doubt it…..its so dodgy and chdish. Maybe I should ask for my stakes back on all the bets I have lost over the years too. Was really surprised to see this and disappointed

As a layperson I put a bet on Usyk to beat Joshua.
To me a majority decision meant the judges said he won but apparently there are some criteria which was not obvious when we placed the bet which has prevented our payout!
Very disappointed since first time placing a bet for a bit of fun to see how it would go for any future events.
Interestingly cannot see Majority decision as an option with some upcoming fights so BE CAREFUL

I've been a member with Skybet for years. In general it's a fantastic, competent site but I complained about bets not being settled for ages and it seems the staff are deliberately going out of their way not to settle my bets for as long as they possibly can. Childish behaviour!!!

Reply

Cash out was offered three times for increasing amounts everytime I pressed cashout unable to go through to the second process to enable cashout to be activated until to results changed in skybets favour, having been a Skybet customer for many years not anymore my account will be closed asap.

Never go Skybet!!! Before about 2 years ago Skybet was fine but now they put you on a very restrictive ‘deposit limit’ which you don’t have any options at all. Look Skybet I enjoy playing sports in your App but I don’t feel I have freedom in playing by restricting a deposit to daily £25, weekly weekly or monthly £100. You even put in place a call centre if you want to increase the deposit limit just call the said number and when you talk to a representative they can’t even do anything about it. My observation and opinion with Skybet as an online sports player/gambler is that Skybet is very good in false advertising which only applies to people who are losing but if you are winning you will be watched out 24hrs making sure that you won’t be able to progress in your winning style. I self-excluded myself because I realise this online gaming/gambling only favour those losing players but if you are winning they gonna put you on restrictions. I’ll be back to the traditional betting such as William Hill or Coral.

The actual quality of service isn't all that terrible but if you actually end up winning then it won't be long before you get the dread 'tighter liability management' e-mail where they consider you too much of a risk so they'll ban any offers from applying to your account.

Reply

Just received the "tighter liabiity management" email telling me they have restricted my accounts access to promotions and free bets. Don't dare win…Skybet are sore losers! Haha.
