TonyBet Review

Used the app for a short while then changed over to sky bet mainly for the reason of fed up of waiting 2-3 days for withdrawals to go into my bank. Come back to place bets this weekend put money in my account and on my bets then was restricted from using my money in account and accessing my bets and now have trapped money in my account that I can’t access because it says I need 3 forms of id to verify my account which has already been done. Don’t use this app much better off using mainstream betting apps.

Bonuses are goodPayment to bank is quick ish (few days could be speeded up)Odds can be better, the gap between for and against is to large. Eg 1/200 and 22/1 in the cricket is awful.That’s about itRegardsLewis

Excellent service, good website

The website is well designed and easy to navigate. Some of the offers can be a little too complicated. But overall a good company with some decent odds.

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.

I think it’s a decent site but needs a good app

Without a doubt the worst tin pot excuse for a bookmakers I have ever seen, quite happy to take your money but when it comes to withdrawing it’s a completely different story, this isn’t to do with bonus’s this is a normal deposit then a win and they are making it impossible to withdraw. They’ve asked for so much documentation to withdraw a small amount of money (£200) and now that they’ve received that they’ve got another excuse not to pay me out because I can’t provide them with a picture of the debit card I used 6 months ago because silly me I lost it and forgot to take a picture of it. I doubt I will receive my money they obviously do this in the hope people give up which I’m sure I will but please please don’t use this company stick to the well known reputable sites. These are scammers and everything should be done to have their licence removed!

Absolutely shocking casino. I have been with them around a year. I made a withdrawal of £80 but then they required extra verification procedures. It’s just a sham of a company. Hopefully will get my withdrawal it’s not a lot of money but it’s the priceable they are happy to take my money and I will be closing my account for good. I now use Mr Q withdrawal is more or less instant and never an issue to withdraw up to 48 hours to withdraw to PayPal is a joke that’s not including if they ask for extra documents etc. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Do not use this company.

I have been waiting 5 months to withdraw £18, then the payment failed because my card had changed now I have to go through a thousand hoops. It cost me over £18 in my time to get to this point.

Avoid at all cost horrific experience. Stay with B365 or similar.

Reply

Withdrawal time is horrific, not only did i have to jump through a thousand hoops to submit the appropriate paperwork, ive been waiting nearly a week for a paypal withdrawal which is alleged to take 24/48 hours on their website, customer support just says im priority for withdrawal, absolute sham of a site. im considering contacting the UKGC

Worst of the worst, I could go on but no need to, just look at all the other reviews.

I wouldn't even bother signing up to TonyBet, I've been playing here since 2019 and I've had three withdrawals in total, one being my deposit back, because it's THAT bad! So… Lower that to two withdrawals since 2019.

My total withdrawals don't touch my total deposits… They're winning… With no chance of catching back up with them, I give up… Because who enjoys rigged, controlled gameplay for their time and money? For three years? Randomly? In all fairness?

They've not changed their promotional offers once in three years… Why? Because them 300 spins and the wagering that comes with it, is all scripted to their liking, to keep you losing… Your initial deposits get swallowed whole at TonyBet, you don't even get to experience new games. Done this 300 spins promotion almost weekly, for three years, so I don't want TonyBet telling me any different, or mentioning the UKGC… Hiding behind excuses, because they don't like bad feedback… Well, I don't like being taken advantage of for three years either so…

I know I'm not wrong, all I have to do is look at all the red on Trustpilot!

Play ANYWHERE else! I don't know how TonyBet got off the blacklisted casinos list in the first place…

The WORST online casino for me in 10 years of online gambling… Can't get any fairer than that.

Now… Let's hear what FonyBet have to say this time…

Absolute con job of a bookmaker.

Started the £50 bonus, won 1 horse race bet and they RESTRICTED MY ACCOUNT to £1 max stakes so I have zero chance of even fulfilling the absolute mess of the wagering that they require.

Happily keep accepting deposits, however as soon as you want to withdraw, BAMMM! We require 3 different types of identification, happy keep taking my deposits though.

I sent off driving licence, bank statement, and photo of card.

They have the cheek to come back a week later and say they can't accept the bank statement, so now they require a 4th.

Absolute con job, just want to keep everyones money.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Literally one of the worst bookies out there, so so bad.

Great fun and it is easy to use. Like the number of games to choose from, easy to deposit and easy to claim any winnings. So far so good.

I don't recommend FonyBet to anyone! This site has been poor since 2019 and they're well ahead of me in profit, with no chance to get even.

They hate to make winners, they hate to pay out… So every slot you play is badly tightened, I don't find this site entertaining one bit… Random or not.

I finally give up with FonyBet, nothing but an unfair bunch of criminals with a licence, to take full advantage of their customers! This is the only site that pays out so low, that you can never have a decent experience, for extremely long periods of time… They've had 3 years to prove me wrong and failed, badly!

For Sports Bookies/video slots visit,

William Hill
BetVictor
Bet365
Buzz Bingo (Casino side)
NoviBet
Reel Island

I'll tell you exactly who the fair casinos are… Or at least from my experiences over 12 years of online gambling ✅

FonyBet IS the worst online casino of ALL time, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it… "Randomness" got you this review 😁

Deposit for up to 300 Free Spins every week! A promotional offer that has been running since they opened, which has to be one of the poorest offers in the history of online gambling. You would think with hundreds and hundreds of spins every week, it would be a great chance to win! It's 100% the opposite. Controlled, unwager-able bonuses with inadequate entertainment, every time, without fail.

Put some other promotional offers on?? Oh, sorry… That 300 spins offer, obviously makes you a lot of money through control.

Too poor to pay out because of the lack of customers they get… They all moved away from TonyBet because they could see the greed! I've been playing at TonyBet since 2019, regularly. All deposits get whipped, they "Randomly" make sure nothing happens while playing with real money, they're like vultures, they want every penny as quick as they can get their grubby little hands on it.

Three withdrawals since 2019,

2019 = £50 (Before they took it all back)
2020 = £110
2021 = £20 (Because it was bad)

So, it looks like I'm entitled to a single withdrawal per year, after countless attempts and thousands of free spins.

In 2021, nothing has happened, and it's the year with the most deposits………

They would rather take, than care about their reputation and keeping customers satisfied and happy with at least a handful of experiences per year, not just one… It's easy to see what TonyBet is all about.

Just a bunch of criminals with a licence to take, and we can only thank the corrupt UKGC for that… TonyBet's T&C's should only say "We have the right to take", "We have the right to control", "We have the right to badly gap our payouts"… If they put all this in there, it would make their "RNG", "Tested" and "Fair" excuses, believable.

AVOID!!! CORRUPT COMPANY!!! GREEDY!!! INADEQUATE!!! DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY OR BE MISLEAD BY POOR PROMOTIONS.

Play anywhere else!!! I recommend playIng at a blacklisted casino before TonyBet.

Been waiting since February for my account to be verified,I didn't have photo id so was going to have to wait but turns out gambling commission changed it too birth certificate and two proofs off address as an option so that was all good. The gentlemen on the chat explained this to me, so a month later i got my birth certificate and now that ain't enough as I now need photos off my bank card I deposited with even though I sent them screenshot off my bank deposit from tonybet to them on February and now my bank card photos are too blurry etc even though you can clearly see the details. Got a £200 withdrawal waiting but they got £175 in deposits without asking me for id in over five separate deposits,might be closer to ten and I was just reading there that the gambling commission says since 2019 if the gambling company could have asked for id sooner (like when I was making all them deposits) then I should still get my withdrawal as it is too late as they let me deposit and gamble more so they couldn't have been worried about my age that much could they? even just my deposits back would be good even if that leaves me £25 down as I just want to be rid off tonybet,make you feel like you have been robbed,how can you as a betting company morally and illegally take deposits without id (5-10 seperate deposits) but then ask for id when they make the withdrawal then keep delaying the process with aww the photos blurry or that's not good enough,any advice on how best to resolve this issue anyone? If you look at the whole issue you s let me deposit so much because you s agreed I am over 18 or you s don't agree I'm over 18 and don't mind people under 18 gambling as should have asked for id when depositing but nope you s let me deposit £175 and then I get a balance over £200 and I want to withdraw and now you s want id…😂 UPDATE I have replied and tried to sort out on chat but my account has been disabled now because I have nerve damage (sciatica),this is not a joke anything to keep my money 😂

I have placed a bet on MLB which was voided after the ticket was winning, their response was it was placed on "incorrect odds":

"Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.

We kindly inform you that according to our terms and conditions 4.7.4. If the Operator makes a mistake in accepting the bet placed by the Customer and finds out about such
mistake before or after the start of the betting event, the bet shall be cancelled. A mistake of the Operator shall
be deemed to include (but shall not be limited to) the following cases: (i) setting the betting odds which is
obviously erroneous; (ii) a comma is missing; (iii) where due to a technical error in live betting the betting odds
in the betting offers are not updated and does not reflect the real course of the match; (iv) the positive sign is
reversed with the negative sign; (v) the additional betting event offers do not meet the main offers of the
outcomes of the same event (winner, handicap, total etc.); (vi) the odds of the outcome significantly differ from
the odds of the same outcome in the offers of other betting operators (e.g. Bet365, Pinnacle, etc.)

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
—
Kind regards,"

This was my reply:

"So you can always say when someone wins there was a mistake in odds and steal their winnings? I demand for you to settle the bet with odds that are not as you say " betting odds which is
obviously erroneous" then, but you cant take the winnings entirely, what if it was a loss bet would you still return my stake? " the odds of the outcome significantly differ from
the odds of the same outcome in the offers of other betting operators (e.g. Bet365, Pinnacle, etc.)" ok then check the odds there, and settle it with those odds. So basically you made it that you can steal money if it wins, but if it losses you wont void it then?! I will file complaints to AskGamblers and tell everyone on Trustpilot what you have done, because i never saw a bookie act this way."

The odds were just a bit different from Bet365 etc., and i have requested that they settle it then by the odds that were on Bet365, but they dont want to! They just voided it!

Every bookie has different odds, so they can always say it was different from the rest and just take away your winnings…

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOKIE, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR WINNINGS AS THEY FEEL LIKE!

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
Unfortunately this company are not processing customers funds the other reviews are correct. Reported them to the gambling commission they will not pay you out be warned! I have little hope of getting my money back I expect this company will fold or disappear and i will be left out of pocket. Gambling commission should of stepped in and closed them down before they could keep taking customers money

Same problem as everybody else.

Have had an account for 14 years, verification was a bit of a pain having to send in photos of both debit cards etc but always did it with no problem.

Then out of the blue the other day my account was disabled and they emailed asking for all sorts of stuff, including payslips and 3 months of banks statements.

Luckily I only had £16 in the account and they sent it back to me after many emails and finally threatening them with the UKGC, the fraud squad and the police.

Almost certainly had it been a large amount they would have tried to keep the funds.

Avoid at all costs, they have gone rogue, borderline criminal now.

Terrible company. Sent all ID docs in wouldn't accept my passport even though it was a clear photo and a valid passport. Then they sent me a questionaire to fill in about my income and al sorts of other unnecessary crap. Customer service is dreadful. Thank God I never deposited as reading other people's reviews making a withdrawal is just as bad.

If anyone is thinking of signing up don't bother. Just use one of the other well known bookies.

I requested withdrawal of my winnings 2 months ago and they still haven’t processed them. Keep getting harassed by email for bank statements, paypal statements, savings account details, mother’s maiden name. Is this company legit? Feel like they’re going to hack my accounts and steal my money.

To be honest, this gamble corporation is not that bad as everyone mentioned as I have used many of them in the past… and there were much worse bet companies without customer support at all. Yes, these enormous delays are terrible but at least I have received my winnings… happy end I guess. I Would like to thank Patricks and Sven for being helpful and efficient at support!

Worst online casino ever, don't sign up.

Awful company, five months of trying to get them to process a withdrawal and I give up. read these reviews and dont get involved.

They paid out after a month of waiting.
If they have many cases to go through due to AML rules and these have to be done manually, they really should think about increasing their number of employees.

Finally after 6 weeks of them wanting to know everything about me they have paid out . I’ve closed My account and I would never use this sh It show of a company again .

So after weeks of trying to get my money I’m finally going to get paid this is what they have to say they also have closed my account Thats fine because I wasn’t ever going to bet with them again after all this trouble

I withdrew £6500 2.5 months ago and I never received it, sent all documents back and it was a never ending deceitful delay tactics to prevent them paying out… well they never did pay out.

Thankfully the bank have refunded me for all deposits I made to these thieves

Tony Bet is a legit business but they are pissing off their customers with this money laundering thing.

Ibas can now deal with this! Tony bet can happily close my account i never want to play again, i just want my winnings! Hopefully Ibas will sort this as 6 weeks waiting for a withdrawal is disgusting. I hope Tony bet gets shut down! Clearly there's alot of other people in the same situation.
TONY BET USE SHOULD BE ASHAMED, IM NOT GOING TO STOP TILL I GET MY WITHDRAWAL!

Reply

I found a mistake on their LIVE betting offer, which mislead my bet decision. I contacted with them explaining everything with a question if my bet can be voided.

I was very suprised getting quick answer with an apologies from their site and guess what – my bet was returned! The most important fact is that bet was previously lost !

Thank you Tonybet for an unique experience.

As with several other reviews on here I had absolutely zero issues depositing funds repeatedly with Tonybet however as soon as I attempted to make a withdrawal they made it exceptionally difficult. My passport has expired so they won’t accept that as proof of ID(despite it clearly proving I am who I say I am. I have provided a multitude of proof of address, bank statements etc however I simply receive the same generic, unhelpful responses. Stay clear of this company, a bunch of absolute crooks

Blocked!! I too was waiting to withdraw winnings. Sent every bit of paperwork I had. Now without any warning TonyBet have blocked my IP address, I have not entered my password incorrectly too many times, they have stolen money from me. I am a trading standards officer so this will not be the end of it!!!

(yesplease911) made a deposit in my account did not credit went on live chat they asked for my details to verify my account I did this then asked for my bank statements. update I have to provide these details to be credited my funds I now have to wait 48h because my statements where quarterly to view my statements because they changed them then provide them then I have to wait however long it takes to accept them totally unacceptable the way I have been treated.

They replied to me today, after waiting 8 days since I last provided more documents for my account mattlennon9.
They’ve now asked for my payslips, even though I emailed this to them on the 23rd June!

We’ve all been scammed guys – weren’t not receiving any withdrawals.
Our deposits have been stolen.

Report this fraudulent company to the Gambling Commission, IBAS, Police and your bank.

When I sent my bank statements for last three months, it was couple transactions from my brother, my ex, and neighbor, so now they ask me to send my brothers and my ex bank statements for last three months, its legal? What are they doing? Have look guys on YouTube TonyBet SBR, they done same in Australia and went on blacklist, it was thousands of customers complaining about TonyBet, so it sounds in UK will happen same.

I'm currently owed £1800 and keep being asked for verification information even though I been paid regularly by them for a good 6 to 8 months. Sent all information, 3 months bank statements of two accounts, 3 months paypal accounts, drivers licence, utility bill and the list goes on. Well after sending all that, not heard a dickybird and do not now reply to my emails. Placing the matter in the hands of my dispute resolution team. Wont be using again.

So 5 weeks later i am still no closer to have my winnings, i have now contacted Ibas and they will be taking this case on. I am so frustrated i have no more documentation at all to send in, no doubt they will come back to me soon needing more but i don't have it! So this is now being left with Ibas an hopefully they will get my winnings for me.

So I posted my original review here on the 4th July for my account mattlennon9, and here is the update… I have not heard a single thing from Tonybet since. I was told by them that the wait was 72 hours after every email is sent to them and that they are working 24/7… (yeah right).
Their Livechat repeat the same thing each and every time & regardless of who you chat to (Daniel, Vincent, Patrick, Nigel, Oliver, Sven, Keenan – this is probably just the same person and/or fake names) as previously mentioned.
They state they are actually based in Estonia rather than Lithuania, which doesn’t provide me with any great deal of confidence either lol.
I wish I could share with you all a complete history of my Livechat with these people, but unfortunately I don’t think I can upload the screenshots.
I have reported this corrupt thieving company to the UKGC that they love to mention so much (and they’re aware of this company by the way) and also to IBAS. I have also reported them to Action Fraud.
IBAS have requested their Final Response following my complaint, but Tonybet did not reply to my official complaint lol – they have seen my screenshots of the entire chat history with these people & all the emails I’ve sent and received from them.
I have now been waiting 3 weeks since I withdrew £735 from a £500 deposit – £500 deposited from my own legitimate money Tonybet, proven as legitimate so many times. There is no money laundering going on my end. If anyone’s laundering then it’s these people with all the money they’ve stolen from us. You’re the criminals here Tonybet.

Instead of spending the time replying to every bad review with modified pasted comments, you should be actually resolving the individual problem.

Here is an exact list of excuses in their own words, I’m sure many of you are familiar with them:

“Kindly note that as soon as your documents are verified we will initiate the process within 48hrs from our side” 24th June

“Please note that security team is is currently experiencing unusually high volumes due to new restrictions from UKGC” 24th June, 29th June.

“We will do our best to verify your documents as as soon possible” 30th June.

“Please be kindly informed that your case has not been reviewed by the security team yet” 3rd July.

“Please note that the security team is currently experiencing usually high volumes due to new restrictions from UKGC which causes delays with case investigation”. 4th July.

“Please be kindly informed that according to changes in UKGC we require our players to provide the documents for the enhanced verification” 5th July.

“Once the AML procedure will be completed your withdrawal of 735 GBP will be processed” 5th July.

“Kindly note that your case is currently in review queue. Please note that security team is is currently experiencing unusually high volumes due to new restrictions from UKGC”. 7th July.

Please note that security team is is currently experiencing unusually high volumes due to new restrictions from UKGC” 8th July.

“Please note that security team is is currently experiencing unusually high volumes due to new restrictions from UKGC” 11th July.

HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF TONYBET FOR JUST UNDER ONE YEAR, AND UP UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE NOT REALLY ENCOUNTERED ANY PROBLEMS, IN FACT I WOULD HAVE SAID THEY WERE A DECENT BETTING SITE AND GIVEN THEM 4 OR 5 STARS.
BUT SADLY NOT ANY MORE, I TRIED TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL OF £200 ON 29/06/2021, AND THEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED, THEY WANTED ME TO FILL IN QUESTIONAIRE REGARDING SOURCE OF INCOME ETC, WHICH I GLADLY FILLED IN AND SENT THEM 3 MOUTHS COPIES OF BANK ACCOUNT STATEMENT THAT I HAVE LINKED TO THE TONYBET ACCOUNT AND COPIES OF SAVINGS ACCOUNT AS PROOF THAT I COULD AFFORD TO BET, I HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN TODAY, REQUESTING THE SAME INFORMATION AND COPIES OF OTHER ACCOUNTS ETC, I HAVE TOLD THEM I WILL BE SENDING THEM NOTHING ELSE, AS IT IS TOO MUCH HASSLE AND MY BETTING ACTIVETIES GO BACK 10 OR 20 YEARS AND IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO TRAWL BACK THROUGH ALL THIS DATA, I HAVE TOLD THEM I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE UK GAMBLING COMMISSION, HAVING SPOKEN TO THEM ON 09/07/2021, I WAS TOLD YES TONYBET HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THESE CHECKS, BUT IT SHOUDNT IMPACT ON CUSTOMERS WITHDRAWALS, TONYBET WERE TELLING ME THESE WERE NEW PROCEDURES BROUGHT IN BY THE UKGC, HOWEVER THE UKGC HAVE INFORMED ME THESE NEW CHECKS WERE REQUSETED AT THE START OF THE COVID PANDEMIC(OVER ONE YEAR AGO) AND TONYBET SHOULD HAVE ASKED US WHEN WE OPENED THE ACCOUNT AND NOT JUST WHEN WE MAKE A WITHDRAWAL.MY WITHDRAWAL IS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT AND IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME IF TONYBET CLOSE MY ACOUNT, AS I HAVE MANY OTHER DECENT BETTING SITES, ITS MORE ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE WITH ME AND THE FACT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH TREATING THEIR VALUED CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS BY MAKING IT AS AWKWARD AS THEY CAN TO STOP YOU GETTING YOUR WINNINGS, THE UKGC HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANT RECOVER ANY INDIVIDUAL MONEY, BUT CAN TAKE ACTION AGAINST TONYBET, AND THEY HAVE LOGGED MY COMPLAINT REGARDING TONYBET, AND TOLD ME I WAS FREE TO INFORM TONYBET THAT I HAD CONTACTED THE UKGC, BUT ANYONE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ME, MUST CONTACT THE UKGC ON 0121 230 6666, THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL AND EASY TO TALK TO, AND IF WE ALL STAND TOGETHER THEN SOMETHING MIGHT BE DONE.
THEY HELPED ME A FEW YEARS AGO REGARDING A BETTING SITE CALLED BET666, THINK IT WAS AROUND 2015, A LOT OF US WERE OWED MONEY FROM THEM (MINE NEARLY £3K) AND ONE OF THE COMPANY DIRECTORS TRIED TO RUN OFF WITH THEIR MONEY AROUND £21 MILLION, BUT THINK THEY ARRESTED HIM ON THE ISLE OF MAN ETC, ANYWAY A FEW OF US GOT INVOLVED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, TWITTER/FACEBOOK ETC AND THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF PUBLICITY AT THE TIME A JOURNALIST GOT INVOLVED FROM THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER, I DID AN INTERVIEW WITH THEM AND WAS ALSO ON TALK SPORT RADIO WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS AND ANOTHER GUYS WAS ALSO ON ITV NATIONAL NEWS ETC, I SHOULD ADD I AM NOT COMPARING THIS TO TONYBET, AND OF COURSE NO ONE HAS RUN OFF WITH THEIR MONIES (NOT THAT I KNOW OF) BUT THE MORAL IS, IF ALL OF US KICK UP ENOUGH FUSS AND COMPLAIN TO WHOEVER WE CAN, THEN WE MIGHT SEE SOME RESULTS AND AT LEAST SAVE OTHER PEOPLE FROM JOINING TONYBET AND GOING THROUGH WHAT WE ARE.
I WILL HOPEFULLY BE PHONING THE UKGC TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY FINDING OUT SOME MORE INFORMATION, AND WOULD BEG ANYONE ELSE READING THIS AND HAVING PROBLEMS TO CONTACT THE UKGC

Sad to say I have been treated the same as many writing reviews on here.
Deposited £500 on an already verified account and withdrew £1350 only for them to disable my account and ask for every document under the sun, from bank cards, payslip bank statements etc
I have now contacted the gambling commission and lodged a complaint and vu am seeking legal advice on this for withholding my money

DO NOT USE THIS SITE!!!!!!!

Also an absolute embarrassment of a customer service dept. No phone number to call and just sent emails asking for the same thing over and over again

I have also now raised a complaint at the gambling commission and will seek legal advice against this company
