BetStars Review

had my account three years, no problems with deposits or withdrawals. customer service was good when neededLost a bit more than I won betting small stakesThen last week I couldn’t log into my account. after couple of days I got this reply”I regret to inform you that we have decided to close your account. As part of our sign-up and log in process Risk Management checks are carried out against our customers device numbers. The device you used to interact with our website triggered an alert, and upon review it has been deemed the nature of that alert exceeds what is deemed to be an acceptable risk. As such, the management team have decided not to continue the business relationship. Any funds held on deposit will be remitted to your account. Please note, any future accounts registered within TGP Europe will be subject to the voiding of all winnings.”Ive got account with another sportsbook under TGP like but there was no rules against it. This account ive hadlong before my pesawould give pesa a higher rating if not for this crap. these jokers should not have a license. can understand restrictions on players who win big frequently but no execuse for banning people who only make small stakes and lose less than they win

I’m not sure, why there are so many bashers of Sportingbet. How many sportbooks has that cash out feature, if you do change your mind, cancel, won’t lose any money. The odds, prices are super fair, buying points, if your a serious player, Sportingbet has to be one of your outs. It seems all these bashers are the bonus whores, people that don’t fulfill their rollovers. I would recommend to not have these issues, ask questions, online chat, always accessible during day, and make sure before you send money verify your account.

I won 5800 euro and waiting already more than 4 weeks for my verification. Can’t withdrawl my money, can’t make new bets. Looks like a scam!

This is an awful company it shouldn’t allowed to operate. They are racists and discriminate customers. I created an account, deposit funds, send my documents, verified my account and placed a bet. After 2 or 3 months that I wasn’t betting at all I logged in my account and I received an email from them that they wanted to know how much money I could afford to spend, time I spend on gambling, where I find the money to gamble. I answered. They demanded my bank statements and restricted my access to my account. I send everything to them and they came back to me:Dear Dimitrios, I regret to inform you that Fun88 have decided to close your account. As part of our sign-up and log in process Risk Management checks are carried out against our customers device numbers.The device you used to interact with our website triggered an alert, and upon review it has been deemed the nature of that alert exceeds what is deemed to be an acceptable risk.As such, the management team have decided not to continue the business relationship. I demanded to learn more. What was the problem, what I did wrong and they kept telling me their decision is final and they couldn’t give me more information. I kept asking until they told me:Our systems have flagged your withdrawal due to lack of turnover, 600 was deposited and only 8 of this has been staked, can you please provide an explanation for this?Avoid them. You will loose your time and if you win I doubt they will pay you and will find a reason to void your winnings. They blocked my account without even betting. Do you imagine what they would do if I had win?

Their customer service is non existent. You send an email and are lucky to get a response at all, certainly not on a time frame to resolve any issues. They have no Ap and their golf markets are very misleading, always defaulting to outright markets that are the most lucrative for them (e.g. you think you are betting on the outright of a golf market but it defaults to a six shooter. I would strongly advise anyone not to open an account with them as there are far better alternatives which thrive on customer service and experience

embarrassing Signed up, went to place a bet, max bet 1 traders decision , i literally signed up a hour ago and not even deposited … WOW

The reviews here speak for themselves, I even don’t want to add something you can look down and see all you need to avoid this s**tty site.

I have been using it successfully for sportsbetting for over 4 years, after pinnaclesports closed their site for many countries. Also i have it connected to my 12 years old pokerstars account with free transfers between them. Just think about it, does Pokerstars with millions of rake collected daily need to scam customers ? Do You know how You recognize real broker ? They don´t offer free bonuses.

I dont know of any illegal sites that give fixed match ,but I know of a good tipster on Instagram that give hundred percent assured odds he is by name EDDY_TIPS, I have tried his odds after I found someone talking about him ,I gave him a try and stake as huge as 1500 on his fixed games all I do is to pay him afterwinning, so I definitely kept to his sincerity and his terms and conditions ,he is the best I have seen and for a real fixed

They have ignored all my emails and don't seem intent on paying out even with authorities involved

If you read this please avoid this company. Nothing but headaches. You shouldn't have to sweat the payout

They asked for my ID which I sent
That was 7 weeks ago. I've sent about a dozen emails all which they have ignored. They have no phone number and live chat really are thick

Thankfully my balance is less than a 1 so don't care but the way they treat customers is ridiculous
They seem to think they're above the law and can do as they please

Would avoid like the plague

This lot make bettway look good. Check out twitter and you'll see how many people haven't been paid and still waiting and have been ignored. They are getting away with not paying people and flat out ignoring them

I have a lot of experience with online sports betting companies. Betstars is one of the worst for a variety of reasons including appalling customer service, questionable security of funds, and discrimination against customers who dare to win money.

If you have any issues with your Betstars account, prepare yourself for a long and arduous journey. You CANNOT speak to them. It’s email only and they take at least 48hrs to respond. Not even a live chat facility is available. You can imagine how long an issue will take to resolve with emails being exchanged every 48hrs!

In terms of security of player funds, I don’t believe it to be particularly safe. I know of Betstars accounts being hacked and funds disappearing which they will take no responsibility for. They will say that your username/password was compromised which is your own fault. What is interesting is that they seem to be set up for this kind of activity. They offer a facility to set up an app-based payment wallet and another facility which allows you to transfer funds to other Betstars customers. It seems to me that this only serves to make the fraudster’s job easier! I don’t know of any other bookmakers that offer these facilities.

Finally, they discriminate against customers that dare to win. In fairness to them, all bookmakers do this by reducing the amount a customer can wager if they are deemed to have won too much. Betstars are not the fastest in the industry to restrict accounts (that would be Ladbrokes) but they will do so after losing a relatively small amount to a customer. This is a deeply unfair practice undertaken by all the bookmakers who are happy to take money from most of their customers but will not tolerate losing relatively small amounts to a handful of customers. Shame on them!

They have no communication skills at all! No phone number, these guys are stuck in 1965!! Even string and paper cups would be more useful than these cowboys!

I liked using this site for Sports Betting, now they accuse me of being associated with unknown accounts that I never have heard of.The Spin and bet portion of the site can win you big money, even though it can sometimes be a big risk for high stakes.I cannot recommend this site, since they took my money and winnings away, over something I do not have any association with.

hello?

[Terry]

Hello, I am Terry and I am glad to assist you! How may I help you?

hello

i placed a football bet today a six team accumalator,one game was postponed but the remaining five won,i did not get paid.

[Terry]

Hey John, may I know the bet ID please

where do i find that?

[Terry]

You can find that under betslip

[Terry]

My bets section

i can see the winning bet but there is no number

[Terry]

Alright! let me see if I can locate it for you

thank you

[Terry]

So it was today and you saud 16 fold right?

[Terry]

Sorry 6 fold accumulator

yes today….a six fold but one game was postponed so a fivefold

on the english league games

found a number,one moment

[Terry]

Yes found it and I see the bet is still open as due to another game being postponed

[Terry]

Let me see and check details

ok

[Terry]

So may I know which game was postponed John?

yes, Swindon v Scunthorpe

[Terry]

Thanks for the infromation

[Terry]

Thanks for waiting and for your patience John and sorry for all trouble

No problem.

[Terry]

So as per betting rules if the Postponed match is scheduled within 72 hours then the bet stands and we see that match result and it doesnt then the bet get void and we return you the stake

[Terry]

Sorry again for all trouble

Seriously? Every bet ive placed if theres a postponement,the bet bjust drops the one game

No football game gets rescheduled within 72 hours!!

[Terry]

So it's not like that John and not every match also gets postponed that easily

then the bet still stands surely

or otherwise betstars rely on postponed games

[Terry]

But as per betting rules if there is a postpone and the math is not rescheduled after 72 hours then it will be void and its mentioned o website as well John and very sorry for that

Thats really not good enough.You are not honouring a winning bet.I have placed many bets with you where the bet has lost but there has been a postponed game,you never refund then do you?

[Terry]

So as I said John if the postponed event is not rescheduled within 72 hours then the bet will be void and your stake will be returned to you and truly sorry for that

[Terry]

I understand your frustration but its actually mentioned in the betting rules and website as well and truly sorry for that

Still not honouring a bet.I have been with this site for a long time and spent a lot yet you come up with some crooked rule.If you adhere to this rule then i want my refunds for every single losing bet i have placed which includes a postponed game.

[Terry]

John, the rules are already mentioned on the website and I;m really sorry for that.

No you are not listening.You cannot apply that rule but not apply it back to the customer.As said,you should pay me every losing bet i have placed which had a postponed gam

Thought I would give them another go? But no way this has got to be the worst betting app they give you wrong scores and they don’t offer you a cash out , avoid this betting app at all cost !!!

Absolute joke of a company I deposited 700 but they locked my account so I sent through the documents to get my account verified and now its been months and no reply and its almost impossible to get in contact with these guys I also heard they limit your account faster if you win a few quid from a few people so yeah I am not happy at all.

Reply

I deposited yesterday and then my account was locked – there is a contact form on their site which they never reply to. They have no telephone number. They still have my money though and there's no way to contact them….. vile bunch of scammers AVOID AT ALL COSTS. WILL REPORT TO IBAS SHORTLY AND GET THE REFUND FROM MY BANK SO THEY CAN BOTH PURSUE IT

Reply

When you put bet on they put cash out option on for 1 minute or so then take it off it’s a absolutely con they will rip you off one way or another,

the worst company i have ever joined still waiting to be paid out after 5 days

Reply

My 20 dollars deposit was stolen telling me that I cannot withdraw them since I cannot verify the account because I am from Argentina. They are thieves, avoid putting your money here.

Reply

Had account for a while verified then out the blue got told need to send ID in and wouldn't be long before I could play again. How wrong they were

They wanted my bank statement for 3 months my tax forms and my wage slips
Sent them like they asked and waited.. And waited and waited
All emails were ignored and didn't have a phone number to call them on
Then i got a reply saying they suspected me of money laundering and were closing my account!!!
Morons. If I had been doing that I would have hardly co operated would I? Losing no sleep over my account being closed as they're nothing special anyway
The customer service are ignorant rude and stupid. They need to realise customer is King. I'm amazed they have a licence

The fact they don't even reply on here says it all.

This company is the biggest joke I have ever come across.. Supposed to be world's biggest poker site.. No live chat no telephone number.. Deposit few hundred and my account as been frozen.. 2 days of sending emails and still the same.. Who are these monkeys running this site… Total morons..

Customer service is atrocious
Rude unpleasant and ignorant. Never had so many emails ignored. I'm the customer you don't treat customers that way

Also no phone number?? Really. It's 2019 and I can't call you. That is enough to make sure I don't deposit again

Reply

How can a bookies have no phone number? We aren't in 1998 anymore

Live chat never worked either so you send them an email and it takes days to reply and even then it's not helpful and they're incompetent so doesn't help

Oh and bad odds/low limits

Reply

Pokerstars have just done a server maintenance without informing customers and without any emails. This also affected betstars. I have just been logged out and cannot do anything with my bets. If you enjoy live betting options and the cash out facility then betstars is the worst site to pick. Be smart and pick ANYTHING else. Literally this is the worst sports betting site ever. Not worth the experience at all.

Reply

Avoid at all costs. One of the worst betting sites out there. Their software is slow and their cash out system is rubbish. They suspend cash outs mid tennis sets. Customer service is poor and do not care. They should stick to what they do best and that is poker. Use them as a sports betting site at your risk, but with so many better options out there you would be foolish to use them. I only started using them because of poker bankroll, but that was a big mistake and I hold my hands up to that.

I’ve had same problem as most people. Deposited 20 and got a 20 free bet. I won 205 from this. I then went to withdraw the funds and there didn’t seem to be a problem but the next day the cancelled the withdrawl and says there’s doing a security check. Been over a week now and no reply’s to an of my emails

After a deposit of 20 euro they froze my account for no reason. No reply to emails at all. Money is lost. They are thieves and can not be trusted!!!!!

Froze my account and accused my of freaking laundering money!! This was only when I withdrawing of course
The times I kept depositing this fictional money laundering wasn't an issue
The customer service are rude and ignorant

How did they get a licence??

I have the same problem as many others who have submitted reviews here. My account has been frozen for over a month and a half. They've ignored every email I've sent asking why it's frozen and there's no reason for it to be frozen as my account is fully validated. I will be making a complaint to the IBAS very soon as I have funds in my account. As far as I'm concerned this is theft.
