Betfair Review

Using vouchers as a withdrawal choice is a genius idea, who ever thought of that should be proud of themselves. Good choices as well. Great thinking forward from the site, and a better solution than putting in another “safe Play” tool. Happy to play knowing I can have this as a safe option (that works) when/ if i withdraw.

Stay the f away from this company, spun the same slot for about 2 hours straight and about 1000 spins later no bonus still. The slots payout is absolutely garbage compared other casinos.

I placed a bet On Ten Lengths Tom in the 13:50 at Sandown on 09/03/2024.According to Weatherbys the horse was not qualified for the race and was withdrawn on 04/03/2024 with a press release to that effect on 05/03/2024.Betfair accepted my bet on 06/03/2024.I made the enquiry to Weatherbys because I noticed that several other firms were not quoting the horse shortly after I backed it.They are declaring it a losing bet despite many hours spent by me on Betfair ‘Help’ trying to get them to see sense.Apparently, I am to get a detailed explanation by email.I can’t wait!Update 20/03/2024: Betfair have eventually relented and paid up. I received an email (to which I am not allowed to reply) including an ‘apology for any inconvenience’. No word of compensation for hours spent on the ‘Help’ chat and the annoyance of being repeatedly, and condescendingly, told that I am wrong. Customer service? Bleh!

Another company thats needs its licence revoked worst gambling site yet again don’t play guys

Barely any payouts, despite £900 put in. Yes I know it’s gambling but this site is pure basic win or lose, other sites offer better deals on your cash without restrictions, this place is way behind in the times. Not worth the hassle.

My experience with this Casino is Zero.Joined in September 2023,the games don’t pay.There is no review in Pragmatic play egg Big bass splash like other casinos,very smartly they want to hide the play history from its players.Eats all deposit..will never pay more than £20 on any game..Stay away..Definitely the lowest rtp and game provider.Pinball promotion is useless..will give u 20p 5 free spins and once in 6 months a 1£

I reopened my account they said it’d be open on 2 days, 2 weeks later and every time I go on chat they refuse to help and tell me to wait. Constantly told lies and sometimes they’ll just disconnect me when I’ve been waiting an hour. Really poor service so I use other exchanges now

I had an issue regarding my account which was dealt with swiftly professionally and courteously through the online messaging service. Can’t recommend the assistance I recieved from Vishal highly enough

Praises to betfair. I have been with them a few years im not a big punter just a pensioner that likes to do E/W L15 on a saturday to watch racing on tv. I admit i closed my account because i had an Iffy fit over a free bet issue, so to replace then I tried skybet I am registered with them for the Free ITV7 bets, It ended up for some reason (Ive had no explanation) they sent me an email saying they were closing my account and put a “Self exclusion” on my account this effectively locked me out of Betfair as they are under the same parent company. How nasty of them. So I contacted Betfair explained about myself closing the account but also what skybet had done to me they on their chatline were very very helpful and understanding, the agent I spoke with on Friday night 15th March certainly went the extra mile, so a massive big thanks to her and for sorting my account out. But because of what skybet did I have from Friday night a 24hr cooling off period thats ends tonight Saturday 16th March 2024 so hopefully I will be able to log in again. A big thanks again to the agent who helped me sort this.Apart from “My Tantrum” the time Ive been with betfair I have never had any issues. In my opinion a fair honest company.

This is only for Betfair casino who seem to be able to do and encourage people to gamble more. I doubled a small bet on blackjack twice and asked how to reduce my bet as I was only being offered the same bet again. The dealers didn’t know and said go to the cheapest table which was £5 and they didn’t know either. Why is there not an option to lower your bet as well as reverse or make it higher. Made very difficult by this company who I used to think were an innovation to the world of gambling but the big players have got in and taken it over. Very sad to see. And why are the gov allowing this to be done surely if you can double a bet you should be able to half it or clear it.

Betfair is an innovative company that allows punters to gamble against each other, one punter laying the horse to lose and one punter backing the horse to win. This is called the Betfair Exchange. Using their system allows far better odds than traditional old-fashioned bookmakers. Betfair also has the loosest slots on the internet. I’ve won over £1200 on their slots in the last 12 months. The Casino is fair but the Poker is poor. You can’t do multiple bets on the Betfair Exchange but you can on the traditional Betfair Sportsbook. The prices of the sportsbook are no better than the other traditional bookmakers.

Put £20 into my account, went onto casino and spun on a game with £1 stake but the game took £6! Was told there was nothing they could do and I need to make sure what I was staking, I showed them the proof and they still wouldn’t return the money. Awful site.

Join them recently im deposit some money win received them in few hours of withdrawal also chat very helpfull not issues at all

My account was deactivated a couple of years ago. I used their online chat to get the account reactivated and spoke with their agent Sarah. She was excellent and resolved the problem for me, ensuring that I set up a strong password and 2FA. Excellent service

Acca edge on the accumulators is a waste of time as it cannot be trusted and you are taking a big risk ,if any of the games are void ,you lose the bet anyway ,and they say this as part of the terms and conditions.

Very good company to deal with. Their support team is excellent and extremely helpful.

Decent for sports bets BUT STAY AWAY FROM CASINO! Genuinely the worst slot rate I’ve ever seen…You’ve got a chance at finding a leprechaun at the bottom of a rainbow than winning anything on their slots

Truly awful website. In 30 years of betting online the worst I’ve encountered in terms of how often it crashes. I’ve cleared cache and cookies as advised and no change. Appalling and basically unusable.

BETFAIR IS CROOKED…..I WON €750 TODAY, THEY WOULD NOT PAY, HAD TO SEND IN EVERY UTILITY BILL I HAVE. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT GDPR AND GAMBLING REGULATIONS. HAD TO TALK FOR HOURS WITH BOT, AND THEN LOST THE WINNINGS AS THEY WOULD NOT PAY OUT DUE TO GAMBLE AWARE, BUT I WAS ALLOWED GAMBLE AND DEPOSIT MORE MONEY, JUST NOT WITHDRAW. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. I WILL CONTACT THE GAMBLING REGULATOR IN MY COUNTRY TO INVESTIGATE THEIR METHODS, AND I WILL ASK TO REVOKE LICENSE.

I give a 1 star rating because i there is no option for 0, website has changed and is now very user unfriendly on the desktop, it is very similar to the mobile app which is fine for mobile phones, but not for desktop computers

I asked betfair to close down my account and return my money to my bank. Instead they suspended my account and are withholding my funds illegally. I had only signed up to this company 10 minutes before asking them to delete my account and return my funds.They hide behind Internet chat and don’t take phone calls or complaints any other way. ADVOID THIS SCANDALOUS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.They are thieves and hide behind a wall of silence and rude customer service staff. This company should be wiped out

I’ve got to say credit to Betfair and I highly recommend using them. My basis for this is we all have issues sometimes and I’ve raised one with Betfair and the whole process was explained which it should be. I’ve also had the same with Ladbrokes and Will Hill in the past and their response infuriated me. They didn’t answer my query and blocked my account insulting me with “maybe you have a gambling problem”. They don’t take complaints well whereas Betfair as it says in the name ironically were fair, understanding and very helpful. This is a genuine, honest review.

To be fair it took a while to get an answer to my question, but Nayim sorted it out for me in the end. For a non techy like me it was hard swapping from screen to screen in order to follow the instructions, but we finally got there .

omg the support team on help is so useless full of low iq people, the one named Kuta and the other named Dannish, i have sent them 2 bills pictures of license card as well and they could not do anything, what kind of employees are those useless kind of people who cannot activate an account based on what they asked i provided, why are they working over there ? they getting paid doing nothing.

Betfair have simply sucked the benefits that customers used to have when betting. I bet small on options like Lucky15, and best price guaranteed, and these have all been stripped away. Ante post these days is like a lottery, along with the inclusion of horses that are generally not going to run in a race. I have to check on entries to confirm this. I say generally.Yet, they hold individuals to ransom when it comes to opening an account.I have not bet a lot leading up to the Cheltenham Festival, and I absolutely mean it when I say I am looking forward to handing my hard earned cash to an on course bookie, and getting the excitement from that. The fun does not stop that way.Why oh why are Betfair, and they are not alone, shafting hard working punters. And no, the ‘we offer different incentives’ does not wash with me. Offer me 3 x odds for 1 winner on a lucky 15, and best odds guaranteed on multiples. You must have made enough money by now???

Been with betfair for years and never had a problem.I logged in a few days ago and found £5 had been bet on roulette but I told them it definitely wasn’t me.My account has been suspended now for 3 days and when I try to contact someone I get a message telling me they are very busy.I left a message telling them to keep the £5 and just let me access my account please but it’s still suspended?

used to be 5 stars but the loss of the Best Odds Guaranteed on UK races means will be using other bookies who do offer that facility, something they gave to punters theyve decided to take away, obviously was affecting the huge profit margins already being madeAlso would advise never play slots after 2am in the morning, I suspect the advice online about slot playing is correct, most bookies do their resets at 1-3am at which point its back in collect peoples cash to start refilling for the next day, so are they turning it off at 2am so nothings won before 7-8am in case a biggy happens and no staff to deal with it. Do agree with online advice peak time for payouts with most of these sites is between 6pm and 2am before they do the next reset – Still more dissappointed about the loss of best odds guarantee, dont know if Betfair are aware giving a little back can keep the punters loyal

With Betfair exchange ,you have to make twenty bets in a month to qualify for the promotions,I played my part in this .then come the following month they have stopped giving them out, they have moved the goal posts.You betfair exchange are a law to THEMSELVES.Dont bother with these pirates.

Waiting more than 6 months for my details to be verified, absolutely appalling customer services.Complaints should be sent to resolver.co.ukBut even this site is difficult to get any feedback from.

I think this is a great service and find their customer support to be really good, unlike Betway for instance. Great markets also and the exchange is terrific. 5 Stars.

Gone badly downhill . Odds are terrible and the cash-out is a con as it is suspended most of the time

I had an issue with a promotion offer and requested help and I was assisted quickly and with resolution and with perfect manners. 100% supported when required.

They give you bonus and free spins but in reality they only have about 10 eligible games to play this on. search for any of the games they are not available to play. Not one can be found. Awful
