Betfair Review

Their settlement of the US Election in favour of Biden before the final outcome is known is atrocious.I hope they will confirm that they will pay all pro Trump bets in the event President Trump is inaugurated on 20th January 2021.

Settled the ‘Next President Market’, before it is official, used scammy fine print to justify it.

I have lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman about their misleading and deceptive conduct.

Do not bet with this company, they are not to be trusted.

They change rules during games. They have been shown to outright lie to solicit more bets. Disgraceful. Currently under investigation from Ombudsman and NT Gov. Don't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Took my money without confirmation of bet result which is totally illegal. The good news is when Trump is declared the winner the directors of betunfair will have all there assets confiscated, we will get our winnings and they will be go to jail. The time of corruption rules is coming the end.

I always trusted Betfair but have been bitterly disappointed to see that they are settling (closing) a bet in the "Next President 2020" election market before the final result is absolutely certain. It's like closing a soccer match after 90 minutes although there is an overtime with another five minutes still to play. Even if a team is leading, there is still a possibility of another outcome and the result is NOT fix. So this is an absolute no go and after this experience I can only recommend to stay away from Betfair if you are interested in really fair bets.

This company is run by criminal scammers who invest in their own markets themselves (such as the US Next President market) and settle early at will to suit themselves. Everybody should withdraw money, close thier account and write a bad review.

Hi opened an account and withdrew £140 back to Apple Pay. After 4 days had not received any refund so I contacted support. They told me it would be in my bank the next day. Today I found out that my withdrawals had been cancelled. No money in Apple Pay account or betfair account either, it’s disappeared. Customer service said that payment department would email me, still nothing. I’ll update if things change but don’t hold out much hope.

I also joined in 2003 before paddy power wrecked this great company.
Live chat is a waste of time fobbed off every time with somebody will be in touch it never happens forget these these people go to betdaq instead.
they want your entire life details bank job etc next will be blood group how toilet trips a day etc.
pp just want to shut betfair down it seems?
thought was just me had problems with betfair but see most people do now

account opened 4 days ago, 5000 deposited, tried to bet, account suspended, all documents supplied, 3 days lead time, then changed to 2 – 5 days, 4 days tonight still no joy agent says asap, tomorrow will be 5 days, disgusting service

Reply

Exchange is great, have had issues with requesting markets on live chat, being told they would put the markets on and never happens.

Reply

They will take your money as a deposit before you are verified so not only can you not make a bet BUT YOU CAN NOT WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY!!! This process could take days or weeks! BEWARE!!

Reply

Awful customer service and response time. An agent opened an account for me on my behalf so I could change my address (moved country). After one session they locked my account for a review which has now been pending for 2 weeks. Numerous contact attempts ignored, no time frame given and money withheld.

Horrible site, STAY AWAY, the blackjack is so rigged. You get 20 against a 2, they pull 6 cards for a 21 and you lose. The dealer is always showing a Ten and 75% of the time they have 20. When you hit your 16 you get a ten, when the dealer hits they get just the card needed to win. Do not waste your money!!!! I can’t post pictures or videos on their facebook but have screen video’s of this horrible site stealing hands.

I'm so tired of seeing the commercials on TV where people win all this money on this casino… I can't even get bonus spins on slot machines after hundreds of spins…Save your money you'll be happier…

Reply

All slot games should be avoided at this time…I'm a regular and have been for 10 years on various sites never complained til not it's not just betfair it's all of them. Theyve stopped paying out…can do over 150 spins til you land a bonus which isnt normal, this is on most games esp megaways. Something has changed this year they have got much worse. Avoid all.

Reply

Waited until the moment I made a deposit, then suspended account asking for verification. Sent the documents straight away, thinking my account will be reactivated quite shortly. Unfortunately that is not the case as it has been more than 72h since then. Customer support is nearly none existent. Apparently my verification has been given a 'priority' to get resolved, but again, it has been 10h and nothing happened. Total disaster. Find a better casino to give your hard earned cash away.

500 spins on goonies not a single bonus round what a loss of time n money really bad and gladiator too

The customer service is just pathetic. No comments… really…Just want to deactivate my account and I can´t because always they transfer me to an agent and everytime the proccess starts from the beggining.

Reply

Genuinely don’t know where to begin, I don’t…I’ve never witnessed anything like it.

Deposited a tenner, had a crack at bingo and won. Wagered x amount and my winnings were then cash. Cashed out, logged back on to be told my account was closed. Oh. So off to live help I go, asking if it’s possibly because of a verification issue, as that’s happened before on other sites with photo ID and the rest

Nope, closed on business grounds, we will be retaining your £140 but you can have your tenner back pal, how does that sound…erm right, so why? “We can’t tell you, T’s&C’s said we could do this and you agreed so 🤷‍♂️ Furious does not come close. 100s of people online saying the same thing, some for 1000s of pounds. I’ve not had ANY correspondence, no email to tell me it was closed, no letter, nada, zero, zilch. Seems they can close accounts when they want to. I asked to escalate it further, a proper complaints procedure to be told I couldn’t. Contacting the gambling commissioner this morning. AVOID.

Reply

non-existent customer service…avoid

Suddenly closed account of over 20 years with a 5 figure sum in the balance without reason, didn't even tell me until I tried to log in. Only online chat available, no telephone number to call or email to write to.
Refused to give any explanation or reasoning or to engage in any way, and after 2 hours of online chat reluctantly agreed funds sitting on exchange could be returned in due course and could not be cashed out even though the markets are in-running so i'm left exposed with no ability to change my mind at any point with a five figure exposure!

Would not give details of any escalation process and said decision was final.
Suggest others write to IBAS about Betfair with similar issues and follow the 'call to evidence' in the Gambling Act review the government are just publishing, it's clear from the comments on here there is a big issue with how Betfair treat their customers.

Just tried to sign up, sat down spent some of my life filling in the form online. Right at the end after spending 10 minutes filling the form a pop up said something like 'we have to know this is you' then the screen just went blank!!! wasted more of life waiting to see if something was loading up but nothing happened. Just a little bit fed of websites not working properly in this modern age.

What has happened to them? I have held my account for 12 years, never had any issues. I have bet over £100,000 with them in that time period and am a priority customer. The way that I have been treated is disgusting.

They suspended my account and told me that I had to send in a copy of my passport, bank statements and payslips. I was fine with the first two things but I do not work anymore, I am retired and, therefore, cannot provide them with payslips.

I have tried to speak to people, tried to email, tried to chat and the responses that I have gotten are simply shocking. I have been told that they "don't know" what documentation someone in my position can provide. I have tried to escalate the issue, taking up hours of my time, but to no avail. I have been unable to speak to a manager at all, apparently they don't deal with the public, and most of the time I don't even get a response from them.

If that's how they treat priority customers then heaven knows how they treat their regular customers!

I have been to Cheltenham in the Betfair box, I had a great relationship with them, but now they won't even give me the time of day.

So, if you are a serious punter looking for a genuine place to bet where you are treated correctly, DO NOT CHOOSE BETFAIR!

Disgusting service all round, scam artists of the highest order.

My account got restricted after only placing 8 bets. Only won 2 out of them and there's no way for me to ever bet again.

Horrible customer service. Minimum free spins no matter how much you play and even when I’m getting free spins I can’t use them because it says I have other active bonuses. As if it affects each other if I win free spins on a promo.

And when I try to contact customer service it’s impossible. Even when I get a reply, they say they will take a look on that issue and they never get back with a resolution.

There are so many online casinos, slots, bets to play. No reason to continue with Betfair.

If there was truly ever, a more loathsome twosome that thoroughly deserve each other, then this is a match made in heaven. Dishonest, full of bu*****t, unscrupulous and most of all greedy and that's being generous. Betfair was amazing when when it first appeared online ( i joined in 2003 ) and it was a breath of fresh air against the bookmaking industry, great opportunities to back ( at much better odds ) or lay and a there was a massive array of markets on all sports. Then rather than take the option of increasing commission slightly, they started to shaft people with the greedy premium charge and move the goalposts and they got away with it all because there was a total lack of opposition. Customer service totally evaporated and just became non existent, just like my account really, as i soon got tired of having my pants pulled down with the extra charges. Then they got involved with an even greedier little wretch that is paddy power ( can anybody get more than £5 on with these shysters ) and it all went downhill rather quickly and is a shadow of the company it once was. For me it is an absolute travesty that no other exchange has mounted any serious competition to them ( betdaq, for the amount of time it has been going hasn't improved an inch and the rest are a complete waste of time ) then maybe they wouldn't have got so dominant and greedy and made the rules up as they went along, knowing full well that they could get away with it. I thoroughly hope, ( although doubt it ) something can change in the future and they get there comeuppance and people leave in droves and tell them to f*** off, Only got themselves to blame if that happened. greedy b******s.

currently 1300 spins and no bonus, this is not normal, if you win guys, take the money and run away as far as you can because the moment your comfortable here they take take take. Guys please come win some and then leave but bear in mind they say its instant withdraw and at first they will let you, but now mine are pending

…..which should be a ringing endorsement for any betting site considering my views on them.

The only site that hasn't banned me for winning. So that's a big thumbs up in my book.

Reply

I have had a Betfair account for 18 years and now I have been asked for I.D. The e-mail I received stated my account activity would be restricted if I did not comply. Betfair actually closed the account [ circa £5000] so I could not make withdrawals . A few years ago you could ring Betfair ,speak to a handler to have a problem sorted. Not now. E-mails ,texts and talking to a phone operator is futile. Betdaq would be a better alternative if it had much mor liquidity.

Beware of fake company!!
I'm still in shock how this company could rip me off. They were convincing and supportive initially only to get my money and switch up on me. Honestly, I’m just glad I could work with emmasophiaNineZeroThree at Gee M,.to get the stolen funds back.

When all efforts seems hopeless, i finally gave Mrs Tahi ( tahibroshey via Hee mail ), a try because of the positive comments about her, to be honest i was really sceptical towards her at first but thanks to this great platform and reviews, it worked out beautifully. she was able to reclaim my money as promised.

Fixed matches are 100% real, at first when I started all this betting newly, I thought it was all a scam and then I lost alot of money to people on the internet until a friend of mine introduced me to a guy called Yeri_BETS on Instagram! This guy made me rich with his fixed matches, I became financially free and had enough money to make real estate investment! Honestly his the best I have ever seen, and an amazing thing with him is that he offers payment after winning services for his matches and guess what?? Am still winning with him up till today! I would recommend you all searching for fixed matches to message him on Instagram

So annoying and strange how these companies tend to project themselves to be real, you invest, you watch your investment grown but wanting to withdraw becomes a problem, their reps even stop replying your mail,this was exactly what I experienced with brokers not until, well I was introduced to and her team of expertise via (tahibroshey at gee mail) that I was able to get my money back.

what a shame!!! very panthentic!!!
I made over €14000 loss through the system !! At the beginning it was ok, then there were unannounced rollovers, take profits with high losses and no contact with customer service.
I believe 90% of customers have losses! With the terms and conditions, you quickly notice that the company does not want to keep customers long, they only allow customer one day to comment, otherwise the complaint will no longer be processed and further emails will be ignored!. I secured the help of a recovery specialist who helped me retrieve a fair amount of my lost funds without any hitch, and I would highly recommend her to you out there globally who have been affected or in similar situation to get in touch with her via mail,( tahibroshey at Gee M ).
I'm terrified and disappointed that this company would put their reputation on the line like this but just like me I believe justice will prevail ultimately in your situation.

There is a saying, Its better late than never. To be honest, i wished they were paying but they are not, Please get help from D.B like I did. Have a nice day.

Betfair promote a “Spend £10 & receive £50 in free bets” on many social media sites, especially tipsters on insta. The advert is deliberately designed to insinuate that your £10 bet be a treble – which is heavily pushed by these people.. only when you follow this instruction, Betfair say, no, even though you bet a treble, (as heavily suggested in the promo advert) it should be a single, and refuse to pay you out. These people know what they are doing. They widely circulate these adverts via these various social media sources, conveniently “leaving out” the fact that it HAS to be a single, saying the bets (the free bets) MUST be a treble, making you think that the £10 should be a treble. Then, when you try and claim it, they say “oh, where did you see that, send us the link” and then claim ignorance, “it’s nothing to do with us, THESE are our tens and conditions/offer details “. It’s a very widely circulated and used scam. I called a tipster on insta on it and reported his account and about 50 of his pages. He knew what he was doing. Defrauding people, and Betfair instigated out and are complicit too. Keep your eye out for this scam “Bet £10 get £50” read the ad and I guarantee it will suggest you need to bet a treble to get the £50. The £10 treble I DID bet was winning (2/3 legs) and then the cash out function was completely removed for the whole of the third game so I couldn’t cash out £60. When I complained, they said basically we can do whatever we want to do regarding cash out and our terms protect us. They are basically thieves, and fraudsters. The fact that they can operate in this fashion shows how Shiite the regulator is. That said, I’m still COMPLAINING EVERY DAY (still waiting for a reply, they’ve not sent a final decision in writing yet, but I don’t care, I won’t let it go, building the case). Afterimage get their final decision, legally they have to refer it to an independent adjudicator if you are unhappy with their decision, so if they’ve fuuucked you then you can get that decision in your favour. Also going to the regulator, and if necessary taking them to court, and all over a tenner!! lol waaankers.. AVOID #Boycottbetfair

I have made over x2 of my 6years salary with this man that over millions of dollar with his fixed tip ,I know maybe a lot here know of this man and also said good things about him but that won’t stop me to thank him and recommend more sincere once to him .

Very dodgy.
I join on a Wed night, am emailed to say that my account is a go.
On Thursday I try to bet on Trump, and am told I cannot because I am from outside the USA or something.
I then go through the process of withdrawing my deposit.
Within an hour I receive an email saying my account is locked, and I am unable to withdraw my money.
I am supposed to sent ID etc, to unlock it, just to get my money back.
Seems very suspicious and I will never use again, even if I get my money back.

I have only been betting a short while I was enjoying it until someone in Zimbabwe managed to sign into my betfair account and clear me out. Betfair said it's nothing to do with them. Be very careful don't think your money is safe. Take all the precautions necessary to protect yourself. Betfair did refund me probably because it was only £200. Thank you betfair I can go back to enjoying betting with you again

I quite enjoyed using the Exchange for a while but then I discovered I had been excluded from using any of their promotions. No email, nothing. On live chat I was just told 'it was a business decision' and that's that. Wow.

Revoked my access to promotions that other customer can get with no explanation and blind arrogance. Perhaps it was becuase I started to win a bit of money?

Why is your casino so crap!!! Why oh Why!!
you could have it all, your sportsbook is one of the best out there, your withdrawals are the fastest I have ever seen, literally, withdraw, check my account money is in there, I would challenge any company to be as quick as you, you could literally be the best, but your casino is sooooooo crap, turn your RTP up just a little bit, ok so maybe you rent the games from a third party but only rent the best ones which give your customers a fair pay out. your slots are just not VFM, I know your a business but when I spend £150 and you give me a bonus of 8 quid your taking the mick. I deposit a minimum of £50 a day I'm lucky enough to earn a salary which allows me to do this comfortably, I love horses, football, slots and I love a gamble…I enjoy the excitement and the fun but you guys have to play your part and make it fun, don't just take take take how do you expect to get repeat custom?? So disappointed in you guys. Felt really ripped off by your slots this evening and I know your better than this, I recommend you to all my colleagues but going forward that will change, I'm afraid its back to bet victor for me, fair bookie, great slots and bonuses. Bet Fair what have you done!! Anyone reading this…. Bet Victor if you like slots gives you a fair game. horses and football great site as well, Rapid pay-outs, bet fair used to be my number one, but there turning into all these 3rd party websites with crap pay outs and and low RTP, seriously damaging your rep guys!!!
