Betfred Review

Very slow and crashes lots. Lots of refreshing needed to complete what you want to do.

Great, easy to navigate, and to find my intended bet. The only little gripe I have is the number of football leagues available, although pretty good, sometimes I cannot find a game I’m looking for. For example, yesterday (26.02.2023) in the Dutch Eerste Divisie, a game between Den Bosch and Den Haag, was not available. So, I had to look elsewhere on another website to find it. Overall though, a very good website.

As with many of the reviews on here I was not awarded my sign up bonus. When contacting betfred they told me I had not claimed the reward within 7 days of my first bet by submitting documents to the website. I did not receive any communication from betfred that this was an expectation so how am I supposed to know I was supposed to upload these documents. Ben told me he would not escalate the case to a manager and would not honour the sign up bonus. I was told that because I opened the account a few months ago, that I had not guessed that betfred should have contacted me regarding documents and therefore, I had not chased them up until now, they were unwilling to stand by the agreement. Have contacted complaints and will update with their response if I get one. Will continue to use skybet and bet365 who know how to run a successful bookmakers

The worst betting app I have encountered. A football game was removed at 88 minutes with an active cash out and several minutes left, bets that were not suspended at the time were continually rejected for several minutes, customer service had excuses of connection errors etc but that is a lie as all other games were continued. No free offers, no inbox promotions after a few days – right to be removed or cancelled apparently without reason. 50p minimum bet with continual cash out errors.

Betfred slots are a disgrace they take your money quick don’t give you no play time and very rarely payout the odd winner now and again but overall avoid playing slots on betfred they are a disgrace glitches all over the place I gambled 96 quid and got the bonus once and got the free spins once that stinks of a con.will never play on that site again

My dad placed a bet on the app the exact bet he’s been doing for 60 years at the bookies and didn’t even get 1/4 of the return he would have gotten at the bookies

Why can you leave zero about these thiefs site always crashes when you complain to chat they are a waste of space then cut you chat then when you try to sign into account surprise they shut it keep hold money in a closed account should be renamed Betfred the thiefs stay well clear off

Are happy to let you spend your money. But when a game youre playing freezes. Its my responsibility to not only clear my cache. Switch phone off and on. Try downloading the app. Try 3 different browsers, try mobile data and Wi-Fi. On all the above. But also document times and dates. And email the details. And then and only then. If youre LUCKY they either will look into it. Or sprout to check your T&cs

More chances to win compared to other sites, easy to work and change through various games.

App really hard to use and logs you out all the time not very user friendly. Also be better with 10p minimum bets

Sorry to say this is the most boring website I have ever had the misfortune to join. Been here a few months deposited a few grand and gotta say the rtp has got to be about 2% on their slots and thats no joke. I have never won any amount worth banking and barely scrap anywhere near my deposit let alone over it the wins are small infact minature, looking for free spins well you can forget it they aint coming and when they do there not even worth watching absolute rubbish!!!. I have visited my fair share of gambling websites and I do like a flutter I also like a fair and efficent site, which this site ladies and gentleman is neither of these. I seriously have never came across a site quite like this one in my life. The more you give the more they quite happily take and the less they give, literally daylight robbery and a mug off, they are really quick to take your deposit but when it comes to playing a slot youd be best going to make a cup of tea take a shower and watch half of eastenders by the time it loads, it is quite frankly the most DEPRESSING site ever. If you like your slot games and a good game im afraid betfred is defo not the one for you, you have been warned people.

Your games are fixed. Game like black jack is so corrupt and fixed it’s not worth playing as the player is up against a fixed game .

If you show you know what you are doing and win they send you an email stating you can not place any more bets with them or they will only take pennies.

App and website are awful, didnt get welcome bonus, competitors much better

What a boring website! By the time you get a bonus your money is gone! Then they pay so little back ? I got a bonus on eye of Horus megaways and as per usual error pops up then plays awful! Never had a big win on this website! Its getting so boring

Betfred are a disgrace. they have no idea what money gamblers have to gamble and choose to treat every gambler with the same attitude. If you are losing regularly they will let you gamble all the time, no problem. If you are winning from them regularly they will block your account and say “contact them about safe gambling limits”!!! They will only do this to you when you have money in their account. They do not block your account when they do not have any of your money in their account! Trying to access your money they have blocked is stealing from you, even if you eventually get your money back. They have misplaced your trust in their company. No other business would get away with this but bookies do! BETFRED, bad news, avoid them.

Playing 2 a spin lost 15 grand in 2 days ??? very few features or wins…ridiculous.

Whilst the site is excellent..your return offers are very poor .. I use two other sites .every time you deposit 10 you get 50 free spins ..on your and same sites only offer that deal once .. and that’s for new customers only .. if you offered more for deposit I would most likely stay with Betfred .I was extremely disappointed with one of your games were you needed more than 4 scatters to get bonus ..I used Up to 10 trying to get scatters .not once did they appear.. very disappointing.. cash collect games are the worst .. virtually no chance of winning on them so I just don’t bother anymore .. your games are the same as others ..very very difficult to get bonus or free spins in your games.. it’s almost you don’t like letting customers have them .. I know your going to say all games are done by a random number generator but how is it in your promotion games .you seem to win but yet when you actually play the same game you get no bonus ,free spins ect ..if your offers were better I’d definitely return to yourselves more

Race event Kochi race 8, number 11 horse was a non runner so was unable to bet on betfred site, but horse 11 won the race. Got screen shots of this scam, forwarded to gambling authority for cheating.Gambling companies need more severe punishments for false data, manipulating odds by my experience.Betfred should be shutdown and investigated done it once they have done it before.

They shut my account without telling me open bets I had they cancelled and said they are keeping my 30 staff on phone are sheer ignorant

Reply

Find the app a little bit slow, not received any new customer offers, although I met the place s 10 bet.

Not many payouts on the games Very few Free Spins.Compared to another site I use where small & frequent payouts make it fun to play and most times get the free spins so am on the site much longer than Betfred

Reply

Don’t think the win odds are favourable, having to invest a lot of money b4 little or no return.

Went to cash out 43p from a losing bet and it was loading the credit, then it froze and went to 13p so I pressed on cash out again so it froze once more and the cash out disappered. You know how they take your money, scamming tactics. Also odds changes of 4/7 on a tennis player a set down in the 2nd set, the player won the set and the odds changed to 8/11?? On a 50p minimum bet you think they would be fair.

Placed a bet on virtual race but mistakenly put the wrong meeting,the staff member altered my bet to the next race that meeting without telling me and that wasn’t even up on the screen at the time but insisted later I had agreed to the change. Virtuals don’t offer time to look properly before they are off.Customer services just lied and said I had agreed to the change even though no conversation took placeThe shops seem deliberately confusing and short time allowance which seem bent on just getting your money nowAfter years as a customer such poor service means I will never enter Betfred again and would advise others to do the same is you want fair honest service

So time wasting and difficult to establish ongoing feedback on how my horses are doing, meeting by meeting, race by race, bet by bet, so difficult and laborious. I’m only with Betfred whilst taking a brake from Sky and, the very best on line bookie Paddy Power. Betfred why do you try try to make your website so clever, keep it simple!

Just joined recently and no free bets also takes to long to load compared to other sites

Really do not know why punters bet with Betfred. They change the rules to suit themselves with regards to BEST PRICES. I suggest punters use Ladbrokes.

completely agree with reviews already recently written.. allowed me to open account whilst on gamcare. email and phone no registered on gamcare. allowed me to deposit nearly 1000 then blocked my account after giving me a bonus before I could access it. verification checks obviously not carried outI have a gambling problem and betfred made it so easy to carry on site just takes takes takesAVOID

My deposit limit was raised to 100 a day i got confirmation and now it won’t leave me back on site I’m very disappointed

Site takes way too long to load, everything on the site is slow and very frustrating. William Hill app is superfast. Come on Betfred learn from this.

virtual races ,run to quick unable to have time to put bet on no racing form shown on the boards inside the shop staff take too long to place bets i think this is a tactic to to be bias towards the customer no proper form on shop board desciing horse and dog racing anyhow ease of use regarding shop at 94 renfield street glasgow anyhow due to set up of betting in my view its the worst bookmakers on the high street on a final point some shops are not showing certain races due to not paying for racing and certain sporting events

I don’t expect to get rich but I make a few quid playing bonus games and scratch cards. Much better than a lot of rivals.

By far the worst gambling site I have ever visited. Takes anything up to 5 mins, just to log on. Go off the page and it’s log on time again (over 12 times already today). Loading time seems forever. Will be leaving soon, as the whole site is absolute C##P!

Cannot be trusted to do things honestly. They very very ofton change their own rules after a bet has been placed.For example they have the little red cashout symbol showing on a tennis market, so you think this is a cash out market. You then place the bet and there is no cashout offered and when the match starts the cashout is not actually available. When asking about it there is the standard moron response that its a traders decision. That shouldnt be legal and is definitely immoral. To pretend a market has something available but then on accepting bets they change it. It happens more often than not and is immoral beyond belief. Its not only on todays date and is the same on many markets.

I was allowed to open a second account with Betfred after my first account was closed. This is against their own terms and conditions. I had forgotten that I had already had an account which was closed. Was able to deposit over 5000 over a 2 week period without any verification or source of income. I have a gambling problem, I can admit that. The fact that Betfred allowed me to open a second account after the first one was shut I believe is criminal. Both IBAS and the Gambling Commission agree that I should not have been able to open a second account but both say they can do nothing. Surely there is someone out there that can stop BetFred from doing this.

I like the layout and it is easy to navigate between my bets i.e. horse racing and games, it would be advantageous to have the colour of gaps on the betting slip.

After having a bookmakers for over 20 year id consider myself as pretty clued up gambling wise,betfred v myself has been a battle for years in derbyshire,nottinghamshire area in 2013 i had a trixie made 7500 after that date i had to send a friend in to get me a bet on,2015 trixie antepost cheltenham vautour,faugheen,and waiting for briar hill (fell) woulda made 90k made 8k..2016/2028 haggas horses 1 lucky 15 up made 6k…3 outta 4 made 13k….now all of a sudden if i even entered a betfred it was like id got a gun under my coat to rob the place it was funny….now in 2022 they said i could have a bet in my local shop so i did the staff were really pleasant and well mannered for wot they got paid but they still got to much abuse for to little pay after 6 month i got the letter even tho i showed them my savings account it wasnt enough so i had to stop betting in there,so tried a couple diffrent shops told them i was a monitored customer and i did manage to get a couple winning bets before i was told no more…the staff were great same old same old the managers just clueless and think its theyr own money theyr loosing

I have had lots of wins since joining.Im happy for anyone that wins anything at all and im a believer that if your not your not having fun.I love the site and get excited when i win or anyone.

Went in as best price starts at 12 and it was closer than boylesports whose best price starts 7pm day before, haven’t been in for months as I usually back early at boylesports but the one horse I came to back wasn’t best price as they no longer do best price all meetings anymore, so basicallyThey’ve got even further behind boylesports now! 3 people in betfred, when I went boylesports 20+ in there, cmon Fred Your shops becoming a jokeshop!!

The web site and app are really slow to respond. I’m often waiting with the loading symbol and give up trying to place a bet.

its a bit complicated and i still find it a bit of a chew to look at my existing bets and is there actually a cash out facility
