Betfair Review

Got scamed like so many other on the US president election. I even called their support to make it clear that the bet was settled when the president was finally appointed by the senate. Iḿ still confuded about what grounds that betfair considers Biden as the appointed president?

If there was any rule of law, the swedish consumer agency should have gotten rid of this company years ago!

Had money in my account went to log in and the account was suspended after a long process I was told I would need to open new account as the was a security concern when I did this all my money was gone
I went though the security team who wouldn’t tell me what had happened to my money just my account had been accessed they just said I won’t be getting it back and then a picture of the terms and conditions
I’ve repeatedly asked just for an explanation which I’m yet to receive

1. Changed Phones.
2. Google Auth app hasn't stored my details.
3. Tried logging in, asks for Auth code from app.
4. Tried contact customer service, the only option was online chat.
5. No one answers online chat and it just continiously tells me to refresh the page, which I've done over 10 times now.

Very poor experience.

Not recommending this casino. Games are scammed and freezing and catching errors just to disturb the play. In game bonuses are so ridiculous that it's funny to watch. I'm starting recording my playing as no one wou believe me if I would tell how it really looks playing on that scammed site.

Been a customer for over 10 years, never had any serious issues over that time and its still the best betting exchange to trade sports despite other entrants (Smarkets, Matchbook, Betdaq etc). Its safe, convenient, liquid and very simple/quick to deposit and withdraw. Can't vouch for the Sportsbook, but the exchange is still excellent despite the various changes over the years. The Premium Charge is annoying if you are a winning player, but they reduced commission from 5% to 2% last year.

joined the site today had a simple question for live chat which ended up one of the most frustrating conversations ever.should of read reviews first i guess

Been using the site for a while, it’s great!! I started betting months ago, my account was charged £ 1500 and I lost everything. Luckily for me, the last 3 weeks I met the guy on Instagram called ity_tipsterr, the guy games are nerve-wracking !!! .. I have won more than £ 75,000 just within the last 3 weeks, and guess what ?, he does not 'If you do not charge a penny for his game, you only pay him when you win!
I would definitely recommend you guys to go and check him out on Instagram.

I worked my way up from 25 pounds all the way up to 135 a few years back, and I had to go through so many hoops to take out money because I was in Canada. Including Passport proof which I scanned and sent and bank account info ie. I gave them everything they asked I only had until a certain time to do it, and guess what I never recieved my money, do not trust this company EVER. THEY ARE SCAMMERS, they know that the average person will just let it go, they wont pay out , unless it's a huge number probably.

These people are nothing but thieves, On the 21st December 2020, I deposited £25 into my account without a problem. On the 29th December 2020 I deposited a further £50, this time when I tried to place a bet, a message said This account is closed, contact customer service for further information. There’s no phone number for them that I can find, and eventually got through to someone on live chat. After explaining the situation to her, the operator said “Your account has been closed due to a business decision, along with your Paddy Power one, there’s nothing further I can do. Paddy Power also closed my account on the same day I received and activated the cash card I received that day. She said she would email their payments team, and when they had reviewed everything, I would get my deposit back. I checked the transaction in my online banking, which has £50 pending, 1 hour later this changed to Betfair Australia? I didn’t have an Australian account, why would I being in the UK. I still haven’t got my money back, today I’m raising a dispute with NatWest for fraud against them.

I had registered an account with Betfair a week ago and completely verified it. After two days continous winning bets , I had initiated a withdrawal request. After an hour, my withdrawal was reversed and account was closed. Contacted the support center, and was said as closure is permanant and our decision is final. We can't disclose the reason.
Betfair.com is fraud. Avoid it

I was making regular deposits and playing daily promotions prize pin ball then all of a sudden my account is restricted! Took over two weeks to hear from an advisor and when I did connect they offered no explanation whatsoever, so now I have withdrawn my busines… Perculiar little company ditched me when they were making money lol funny way to do business 🤣😂

I can't withdraw. I sent all documents. But betfair don't verify my account. I can't withdraw. I sent all documents.

Excellent company!
I backed biden to win the us election after voting day and after the GOP themselves anounced biden as the winner!!!
Betfair paid out exactly as per their rules, hence free money!!
How can some people be so stupid!! Theyve paid my mortgage for the next six months!!

I bet on Trump winning Presidents race.
Outcome still unknown, since many key States are in litigation over numerous allegations of election and voter fraud.
The election process (including amendment 12) is far from over.
There is a high probability that Tump will eventually be confirmed in January.
Betfair has dropped a b*llock here. I expect the courts will force them to payout on a Trump win eventually.
I shall join the class action suit as soon as it gets going – after Jan 20th most likely.
What-ever happens, the damage to Betfair's rep. has been done; they have been exposed for being Communist sympathisers; and part of the deep state scam being perpetrated in the US by closet Commies and the Biden puppet.

Don´t use this company they didn´t accept my passport as identification. The passport was totally good and after that they blocked me from sending any messages.

This firm settled bets before they even finish! Don’t waste your time and go to Ladbrokes or Pointsbet instead.

Do not use betfair under any circumstances. This is a complete waste of money, they lie and squirm about paying out. They say the docs I sent too them were fine then changed there minds, without telling me. Spoken to now 5 different advisers and nothing resolved. They owe me £65. Still my account is suspended. This company in my opinion should be called betunfair not betfair.

Pathetic business involved in fraud. Obviously the owners comrades bet on Biden. Paying out a wager that has not been settled will hopefully allow class action to have betfair ALSO payout the winners when Trump is re-elected. I didnt sign up to bet on Trump being next President but being out foxed by the wording regardless of who the next president will be. Betfair made assurances after the election that they would not rule until any court action had decided who the winner was. Clearly there is still court action going on.

Absolutely disgusting company/app they get you to download the app by offering you a deal of bet £10 and get £50 free accas bets and then when you download the app they make out you didn't click on that link and you actually activated a promo of 1 risk free bet and a £5 free spins and then when you message them about it via there app chat they try to make you out to be a liar even though you know you clicked on the link (learn more) on the pucture on fb of the £50 free bets

Avoid at all cost. Prematurely settled US election market and will NOT pay out even if they are wrong in the end. I would call it a fraud.

Deceptive and misleading practices. Placed bets on Trump to be next president. Paid out on Biden early when there was no result. Many states have contested electors and Pence has made clear he is going to throw these out on Nov 3rd. There's no way this should have been called without an official result and I will be part of a class action lawsuit to seek a fair outcome. I will not use Betfair again or recommend due to their misleading, deceptive and unfair practices.

I opened an account, using a guaranteed refund on a £20 bet if you lose. I lost, they did not refund, I opened a paypal case to claim back my money they stole by not honouring their own deal. They then closed my account. I'm sure paypal will refund, but what a disgusting way to treat a new customer. Dreadful avoid them.

Deposited €50.00, bet on horse. I won. Betfair suspended my account. They kept all the money including my deposit. Do not waste your money on this site.

I won money I withdrew it my bank sent me message to say it was paid in but no money was put in

I have bet on the US 2020 election on Donald Trump as the winner … but on 14.12.2020, Betfair itself has announced Biden winning after "fake news" from the major media in the US … as it has not been announced by the US government yet. I think Betfair should wait until 20.01.2021, when there is a clear official statement on who the next president of the United States will be. If Betfair does not withdraw this decision, it will harm your business in the future

if i could put no stars i would.
this company is one big scam.
soon as you win they close your account and when speaking to managers they dont have a clue what theyre talking about.

Placed bets on Trump to win oddly im told to hold tight dont bet anymore on day of bet suspension just before suspension by betfair spike assistant on the phone
then online assistant says sorry for your loss
# election fraud on a high scale, i told them i will be back when Trump officially wins and you guys will have to pay out again like 2016 they said not this time
i told them law is above betfair not betfair above the law

OK. First and foremost, you id*ots voting on the US election lost your bets – deal with it. So you can't criticise betfair for that.

However, after using Betfair for about 5 months for my lay bets and depositing well over £1000 I was majorly let down yesterday.

I layed the Saturday ACCA at £50 for a £3 or so profit off Sky (I've seen Betfair actively encourage matched betting before anyone gets on their high horse about it – no need to stick up for the bookies). The cash out value on Sky was double what I put on after about 15 mins into the games so I thought I'll cash out of everything now.

For some reason Betfair didn't give me any sort of cash out/trade out option for this one, so I backed the ACCA for around the same amount I layed it, which should have cancelled out my lay bet and returned my stake.

Apparently not. Even after everything was settled I was left with £14 out of £65. Although the profit on the back bet was supposed to be £116 – £70 or the lay £70 – £53. So I should've ended up with either £46 or £23. But I ended up with nothing. Leaving me £20 out of pocket in total. Betfair can't do simple calculations correctly.

In future I will only use Smarkets, as they have a clear and simple trade out option and pay winnings instantly, not a week and a half later like Betfair.

Betfair assured me that they would not call the USA presidential lawsuit until all legal disputes were cleared up.
Believing that they would do what they said, I put another large amount of bets on Trump. Betfair deliberately misled punters and cancelled all our bets paying out Biden backers early, effectively stealing all our funds.
After further investigation, it seems that Betfair has ties to some shady people involved with Scytl and the Clintons.
If you are going to bet and want peace of mind, go elsewhere.

I used a sign up promo code to get a refund on a US election bet. I did not get a refund as apparently I didn't place it in the right section which was not clear.
This is clearly a way of scamming people using small print.

Absolutely disgusted how this company has just decided to change the bet to winner of the electoral college instead of the next president 20/20 WTH
How in the hell can they close this bet when it hasn’t even been legally fricken decided yet.It’s still going through courts and if Trump does actually win and become the 20/20 American president and you placed your bet on him well sorry you have lost all your money.
Listen up Betunfair if I wanted to bet on who won the electoral college bet than I would have had the option to do so on your site but I did not want to bet on that and only wanted to bet on the next American president 20/20.FULLSTOP
It’s as plain as day on your site back trump to win or not.
Have you lost your minds ?
What are you thinking ?
Have you all gone mad ?
You have lost the plot ?
Do you know what I’m betting on now ?
I bet that after January 20th 2021 there is going to be the biggest class action case in the world’s history against Betfair and the honest Betters.
Good luck Betfair

Clearly involved crooks don’t bet with them or sky bet bet Fred or any other that paid out on the OBVIOUS FRAUD/SCAM!!

Totally disgusted. Horrific experience. Their opposition in Sportsbet despite paying out early on Biden have declared if Trump wins they will honour that bet. Do not EVER trust this corrupt company. You would have to be deaf dumb and blind to NOT know the US election is contentious and may even be declared null and void.. I will be personally suing Betfair for their unscrupulous behaviour.

Betfair Total fraudsters.
When i placed my bet on Trump to win the US Election NOTHING was made clear as to how THEY were going to decide the result.
They won't even give me an individual complaint number!!
Avoid this company at all costs.
Total sharks.

I recently bet on Trump to be the next president, I was told on the phone it would be based on either a concession by Trump or ratification of the electoral college votes. Neither has happened yet, should Trump turn this around which is quite possible I am sure there will be a class action and I will be joining it.

Betfair are in clear breach of their own stated terms for the USA President "Next President" market. The bet was paid out contrary to their "expressly stated terms". There was to be "certainty" of the result, which requires the closure of outstanding litigation in various levels of the justice system, including the Supreme Court, and the expressly laid our process in the 12th Amendment of the USA Constitution. This is appalling, and must be remedied should the conclusion of this "Next President" result be determined in favor of Donald Trump.

I used Betfair to bet on the US elections for the next President.There is still pending litigation yet Betfair have decided to cast the vote based on the electoral college vote.Betfair are fraudulent and they will have to pay out twice or be sued.

I put €2000,- on donald trump a lot after election day. I have clearly ask in messenger that i bet for the next president on 20tj january . They told me yes for sure. Thanks betfair .. 👎👎👎

US Election of Next President, It’s quite clear. And I placed my bet when I saw their clarification that they pay when results were beyond doubt.

We’re talking about a £billion scam.

I don’t think we can do anything in England, as gambling debts are not legally enforceable, but I sure would join a a CLASS ACTION LAW suit in the states.

I placed a bet on the 2020 US Presidential election and this election is in its DUE PROCESS meaning that the outcome is NOT called yet. Betfair obscured from the bet proposition that it would settle the market on the candidate that had the most projected Electoral College votes… SCAM SCAM SCAM!

One star is generous!!!!!!!! I feel totally outraged and conned by their handling of the US Election. They have manipulated, lied to, and stolen from their customers. Not just a little bit of theft here, we are talking big big BIG bucks and they CANNOT get away with it! The bet was for the NEXT PRESIDENT, plain and simple Betfair! Your service team misadvised customers to encourage them to keep their bets in play and place more bets, you are trying to get out of this with the small print but it's a contradictory load of rubbish which changed throughout. There are sooooo many more totally immoral and ILLEGAL things you have done which i could mention but the list is too long. Total fraud and corruption. There is more than meets the eye here and you will not get away with it. NEVER BET WITH BETFAIR!

Do not use this SCAM platform. I put a lot of money in the US Presidential Market on Trump. Betfair has decided to close the market early and pay out the "Projected" winner and not wait to hear who the "Actual" winner is. They mentioned they would take into account pending Legal Action, but they have ignored their own statement. Legitimate Betting platforms like Sportsbet have paid out for Biden as the projected winner, but clearly stated that if Trump goes on to win they will pay out those who backed Trump.
I have lodged a complaint with the regulator NTRC in Australia.

What a bunch of thieves. I had a sizable bet on Trump to win US election. These crooks settled the bet on the electoral college votes. Before the Senate had officially counted and ratified the votes on Jan 6th or before any legal action had played out. This is a scam outfit, that makes up its own rules to suit.

Reply

Put money on “next US president market “ backed Donald Trump at high odds. No president has been selected and all of the sudden all bets are cancelled (loss) betfair claim that the bet was for “most projected electoral votes”. When clearly I bet on the “ next us president” not only has Biden NOT won the most electoral college votes but no president has actually been selected. This is both unethical and illegal and will be lodging complaints with governing bodies and ACCC our money was essentially stolen. Do not bet with betfair !!!

Not even a 1 star, if I could leave a minus 1 star that would be a starting point.
Fraudulent. How can you settle a bet before the results have been announced ?
