Terrible. I couldn't even complete the signup challenges to get the free bets because they said I'm no longer eligible.Also restricted to 84p max for bets.

They will restrict you as soon you win a few bets. They will only allow you to use casino, so they can rob you

Engrained incompetence at every level.I was repeatedly told by LC International agents that my bank was blocking withdrawal payments. I then tried to withdraw to paypal which also failed. An agent eventually admitted that they had problems processing withdrawals which had been acknowledged by their technical team and that they were trying to resolveGetting my winnings from SportingBet, Coral and Ladbrokes has become hell recently. It used to be within four hours everytime, now it's days and only after initiating conversations with support. The icing on the cake is that on two occasions they have declined to give me a free bet despite me telling them of severe inconvenience and dissatisfaction with my experience. Unfortunately the UK gambling market is too competitive to invest any further time in companies like LC International and thus I have proceeded to close my accounts across all brands.Very bad business towards a long term customer who has been betting with you for many years.Good day.

Have lost approx £159,000 with them in the last 3 years in their shops (£80k in shops and 79k online at Sporting Bet / Ladbrokes / Coral etc...)I am a member of GAMSTOP but foolishly I asked friends who did not gamble to open accounts which were totally and exclusively funded myself and from the same bank account and I can say without a miniscule of doubt that they knew it was me funding the accounts as it would be impossible not to (as the same bank details were used each time via apply and revolut pay) and I also know a senior bookmaker insider who has advised that I am infamous for my losses. They and most bookmakers make 95-99% of their money from problem gamblers.I have written to them as have my friends involved asking why as per direction from the GC but they have flat ignored everything.I am so certain that they know it is me that I recorded one of their employees saying so. BUT, I will expose it even if it is my last dying duty.PS Lost approx 200k in the last 10 years in their Entain shops in Ireland that they bought off Barney Eastwood and was the biggest and most notorious loser in their busiest Belfast shop SO THEY KNOW).

I deposited £40 and placed a total of 3 bets on here. 1 on an Arsenal game, 1 on Tottenham and 1 on a premier league ACCA. Apparently, this warrants completely restricting my account so that I can place a maximum of £0.84 on bets!? Ridiculous. Probably just because all 3 of my bets happened to win they didn't like that. Didn't even withdraw either as I was continuing to use their site, but apparently I'm not welcome. Bet365 is better anyway.

What can I say lol . Luckily I only deposited £12 so I can’t be accused of being a bad loser and my review isn’t valid . Like I said played with £12 win over £200 on slots withdrew 200 and from that exact moment BOOM . No access to account . Spoke to online chat . Sent documents needed to be verified . Was told I have to ring them to get back access to my account . Spoke to a nice lady was told I could log back in within the hour . Logged in fine back on site went to play a game nothing loaded . Logged out logged back in YOUR ACCOUNT IS BLOCKED ! And surprise surprise no response on web chat at all , all of a sudden there’s no one available to answer my calls and every email I try to send it fails with an internal issue lol need I say more people ?? I’m so glad I did this early on like I do on all my sites to test withdrawal times and issues etc . They could’ve and would’ve had 1000,s from me but screwed me over after £12 lol I doubt I’ll see the withdrawal or the remainder of my balance . Join at your own risk guys . £12 well spent to know how bad these people are lol .

After reading the reviews of this casino I was concerned there may an issue taking out my winnings. However i got them a few hours later so I'm really happy with this casino so far.

I have spent 100s of 1000s in sporting bet recently and did not get anything back. They have rigged it in such a way that its so difficult to win. There are way too many bonus deals but you can't actually win most of the time. I will not be using them again. In the past 2 months I have put in so much and couldn't even get up to R5000 in winnings and then it was all gone. I thought to try again but everytime I deposit my funds get depleted so quickly. To think that because I've put in so much I'd at least be given a small portion of what I put in back, but that was not the case.

I signed up for sportingbet on the 24/03/2024 and was immediately electronically verified and was allowed to deposit and play.Since then I have deposited around £750 playing slots. Yesterday I won £2000 and tried to withdraw my winnings. After almost 24 hours without payout I contacted support and was advised I needed to send documentation to verify my account. I sent the documents even though UK Gambling Commission rules state;"A gambling business can't ask you to prove your age and identity as a condition of withdrawing your money if they could have asked you at an earlier point. However, there may be occasions where a gambling business can only ask you for information at that time in order to fulfil legal obligations.If a gambling business needs more information before you can withdraw your funds, for example, for anti-money laundering checks, then they should ask promptly and not only when you want to withdraw your funds."After sending the requested documents, I received an email from sportingbet stating they have made a business decision to close my account and confiscate the balance quoting terms and conditions sections 14, 16 & 17. Having read these, I have not placed any fraudulent bets nor have I reached any other terms and conditions. Email after email, customer service chat after customer service chat and I'm getting automated repetitive responses or told to contact the email that is giving me the automated responses.

Bet placed 17 February taking odds offered under Best Odds Guaranteed promotion. Starting prices for two winning selections were better than BOG odds and return should have been circa £600. However bet was settled using shorter BOG odds and Sportingbet only paid out £410. Despite providing clear evidence BOG promotion rules applied they simply respond saying bet settlement is correct and give no explanation. My experience with this bookmaker was terrible and if I could have given them no stars I would have done. Avoid at all costs!

I made a 500 deposit, received an additional 400 bonus.. Placed a few bets n got it up to 1400, placed some more bets n got it back down to around 1000.. A few days later my account balance was zero.. I queried it with the live chat and got the following responses: Thank you for your patience, i regret to inform you that an amount of R R 602,57 plus R 400 was claimed back when your Bonus expired before you could complete your wagering... And: With regards to the above funds were claimed back when your Bonus expired, we will not be adding these funds back due to this action being inline with the terms of the bonus, to take this further you can contact the Western cape Gambling board. What a scam!

This is just a knock off version of coral and ladbrokes but 10times worse (if that's even possible). It really isn't worth signing upto all they want is your money they have no interest what so ever in letting you win. Closed my account after 1 day of it being open

This company is a scam. I placed 2 bets on springboks going to the finals. Was supposed to get paid 2850rand. Then when i checked my bet history the bet is gone and I cant even see lost or won. Than i went to transaction and it shows i won but than some bs was made up on expired bonus or some bs that took away the exact amount. Stay away people

Please understand that there is a reason for 1 star reviews!!!! This is the worst company i have ever placed a bet on! Username: costeacipri After winning a bet on over market, a odd of 2, nothing crazy, i have been voided, they stole my money, not giving me the profit but this is not all. They blocked my withdrawals and blocked my account(unable to login) with 330 pound on it. I have been 4 times with agents on the chat, they are saying a superior needs to solve this issue but nobody is helping, I have also emailed them and no response.Literality stealing your money in 2023, i cannot believe those companies are still on the market. STAY AWAY!! If you get lucky they won't pay you! Read not only this review but all the reviews and find another betting site. I WILL COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE!

I have no idea why Sportingbet has such low reviews I’m totally bemused! Mark my word! Ditch your likes of William Hill, Bet 365, Betway, Paddy Power etc! I wasn’t paid in anyway to write this review I’m just happy I found a Betting Company that make life simpler! I’ll rarely review a gambling app or Company due to my bad experiences and overall hassle from the likes of Coral, McBookie, Ladbrokes and a few other of the big boys!Let me tell you this company has exceeded my expectations! They verified simply with making me feel like an Airport interrogation search. The App is Slick, Modern and looks nice on the eye. It is slightly laggy and slower than others but I’d recommend trying them out.Also they use Fast Payouts and you get your funds within 1 hour at the most, you won’t emailed and asked for your Mothers, Mothers, Mothers birth location either. They stay true to there word and I’ll no where else from here on out.THANKS SPORTINGBET FOR SHOWING ME THERE STILLL IS GOOD BETTING COMPANIES OUT THERE!!

Deposited £250. Won £650.77. When the bet settled my account was suspended and they asked for verification. This was not accepted and I was then told Sportingbet would be keeping both my deposit and my winnings. Should have read other reviews before opening an account. Can't believe they are part of the Ladbrokes brand. Avoid I beg you.

Do not go onto this platform, I promise you, you will regret this!This platform has to be in the top 5 worst platforms ever.It takes absolutely ages for you to get a bonus, if you do, the game stuck.I lost about £3k before I realized what a joke this platform is, do not be like me.If you wanna place a bet on sports, it takes ages for it to load, so if you play live, you lose the opportunity of betting.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLATFORM!

I was a member for months of sporting bet. My account was never in profit until one day I had a reasonable win that made me £400 in profit.The moment this happened sporting bet froze my account and have refused to pay me my money.I have received over 63 apologies and 20 different promises that the money was sent, they even supplied me with a false banking transaction number.At one point I was even threatened by an advisor called Viktor and had my bank details embezzled using my funds as bribery.This has been going on along time now.What ever you do don't deposit with these criminals.

I wish I had read these before I opened an account, dont even open an account. 3 bets, 1 winner, broke even and now they want every statement in the world for me to withdraw my money. They have limited my account to 60p stakes to boot.Surprised they haven't asked for my nans bank statements from 1942

Opened an account, I was fully verified through agecheck.com and told I could deposit/withdraw freely. Deposited £200 and won £1100 over 4 hours of play. Withdrew the money and sent DL and utility bill. I was then told that I had previously had an excluded gala bingo account and my withdrawal was not valid, what is that about!? I staked £200 fairly, no bonus, just risk of my own funds, if I lost this then nothing would of ever been said. The only fair thing to do would be pay me what is rightfully mine, you verified my account and sent it to me in writing, then after withdrawal process spotted a 'problem'. I have just paid the £80 to take this to small claims court and if I don't receive payment within 1-3 working days I will take it to the newspaper and social media.

Would rate 0 if you could created the account Saturday let me place bets play slots etc Sunday morning I placed all my bets for the Sunday football matches then received a message to send proof of identity which I sent over 30 minutes after requested then told it takes 72 hours to review this couldn’t access my account to check the bets or anything live chat does answer only way to contact them is through twitter which is around a 2 hour wait for a response , it’s now Tuesday still can’t access the account and just saw they have now self excluded my account until 2027 I have free bets and money on the account they are not willing to speak to me about with no reason why this has been done please please stay away so many better bookies out there for example bet365 Ladbrokes William hill don’t make the same mistake as me !!!!!
