SkyBet Review

I made a complaint regarding their protection services for safe gambling/limit setting.It was a very valid point that I made, and I was simply pointing out what many people have been stating online.Expecting a nice discussion about the complaint, I was shocked when I simply received a response telling me that my account was closed immediately and I was no longer welcome to wager with the company.It was by no means a harsh complaint.It was one of the most childish things I’ve ever seen.

After signing up as a new customer, i did not receive my free bet credits but after conversation in chat box the advisor rectified this immediately.A great, fast response from Skybet

What a shambles of a company my account was suspended for security which I had to send in proof who I am which I did only after 3 days to say my drivers licence and bill wasn’t good enough so submitted another form of utility bill after 7 days after going back and forth iv decided to cancel my account with them not worth the stress from them stay well clear they don’t value you as a customer

Super speedy response to an issue with logging into my account.The auto chatbot was fairly easy to navigate through and the agent was polite and professional and sorted my issue out in minutes!If only other sites could mirror this great experience!

Awful company do not use them. They will not pay out, ask you for documents to confirm identity and when you do require further and further verification and just more excuses to never pay you or let you withdraw your winnings. Scammers.

Everything always seems okay when betting here. Withdrawals are instant and the software is great compared to the rest of the industry.There are plenty of bonuses too. I would give it five stars but their prices aren’t too competitive.

My wife is 67 she doesn’t bet a lot but she likes to put the odd £5 on sky casino and sky bingo she also liked the free bingo.Out of the blue she was banned for no reason at all with no recourse. She did nothing wrong apart from won the odd £10 and didn’t spend a fortune. How fair is that sky bet

Please avoid this company for your betting. I started winning a few bets and heavily restricted my account and now I tried to withdraw they made it very difficult. Asking for this document and that document. I swear even my bank does not do this. It’s been 4 days I still not got my money

Very helpful service on live chat. Sorted my problem in less that 1 min unlike another company I use who took 40 mins to sort out the same problem.

My account is closed and every time i ring up to get it sorted i get put a in a queue for 30 minutes, when i eventually get through to someone they say they need to put me on hold for a minute and then hangup….Happened multiple times with different advisors called luke and adam

Absolute joke of a company, run by people who are out to fleece you. It’s all happy days while you are losing money to them, as soon as you have a couple of wins they restrict your account. I emailed them for an explanation only to receive a response saying that they don’t have to offer me any explanation and that their decision is final.

I’ve been with skybet for a long time In my opinion it’s the easiest and the best and have so many promotions . And any problems are sorted so easily … Thank you Skybet

Bookmakers are the biggest scum in the world and sky bet top the list. They will take your last penny and make you wanna kill your self without putting any safer gambling procedures in place. This industry ruins life’s. They are the biggest crooks and scum on the planet. I hope there company burns to the ground

Reply

Sky Bet lure you in with the promise of free games everyday and then withdraw them suddenly without any explanation whatsoever. Luckily there are plenty of alternative better options.

Having survived ‘the bots’, i dealt with a brilliant member of the SKY BET team…..they understood my situation, they were supportive, professional and very efficient. My issue/problem was sorted in double quick time, totally to my satisfaction. The staff member was excellent and a credit to Sky Bet. This is a betting company that is very good in all aspects, in my opinion, and I really enjoy using it…..it does all I need and more. It’s come a long way from Surrey Racing !!

I have deposited over 19k and it says on my account I’m over 15k down you never win big especially if you have deposited large amounts over time I’ve won 1k here and there but nothing near what I’ve deposited over the year . Absolutely terrible don’t waste your money

Data collectors BEWARE!!!!Two years ago I placed a bet and apparently I had a payout if £6.75 yes!!! It was for £6.75 now read on. Sky bet emailed me to notify me if this and I had 29 days to have it it sent to my bank. I was surprised I didn’t know I had it. I chatted with a member if their online chat. I gave all the necessary details and was then asked why my Facebook name was different to my surname 😮 can you believe that !!!!I told her that my FB name was no concern of hers even if my FB name was Red Riding Hood that would be my personal choice nothing to do with them. They insisted on me sending my passport details and driving licence and I said no it was my private data. Sky bet refused my payout. Even though my personal details for the account was given no payout and it’s for £6.75 not 6 million. So I done a bit of research and checked their cookie policy. Your personal data goes everywhere even to other countries ( so glad i never gave passport details ). Please read the next bit taken of Skybet site.:“Certain third parties with whom we share your data (as referred to above) may be based outside of theEEA, in countries which may not have as comprehensive data protection laws. However, where we share your information with such third parties, we will, where practicable, provide you with information as to where your data is. being transferred and why and take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.”Sky bet cannot even assure us of what other countries do with our personal data, could this be why we get a lot of scammers????Do yourself a favour stay well clear. NO stars given in my opinion. Read their t&c,s along with “ cookies” policy they are an eye .opener.

Unbelievable every time I watch a race the cameras are totally rubbish.

Yeah Skybet is a joke. I’ve been using skybet for years and after putting a complaint in and waiting 8 weeks for a resolution for them to close my account and not resolve the situation is just ridiculous!

As a Skybet Club Member i was astounded to find that instead of the guaranteed 3 x £2.50 free bets this week I received 2 x £2.50 free bets. Not sure what kind of club this is but i’m off

Been a skybet customer a while and def rigged free spin is a joke bonus round activated and u still win nothing not a bonus then is it …I’ve never won more than 10 free spins on it ..u can predict wots gonna come and it always favours them not u…. laughing at us basically …how great would it b if everyone stopped gambling stop lining their pockets and keep ya own cash u never gonna win big but they who own skybet will always b living high life if we don’t stop

Reply

The prices they offer are usually half that of other bookmakers, they have introduced extra places on so many races that best odds don’t qualify, the app is having more problems where it doesn’t work for different periods of Time with no update of when it will be rectified

Reply

I had no warning about my account being suspended and now there saying it’s under review it’s been 14 day’s now and all I get as a response is it’s still under review they won’t even confirm what’s going on I’m worried I’ve lost my money.

Reply

What sort of company has no valid telephone number to contact them on?? Yes, this bunch of cowboys.. I can’t believe they are still trading.. If your account is locked!! That’s it.. Your shut out.. I actually don’t give a toss about skybet, me, or many thousands like me, would never bet with these losers again, but the one thing I am bothered about, is that I’m blocked from playing Skysports super 6 competition… I’m a monthly subscriber, but I’am blocked by a bogus bookmaking company.. This company should be struck off…

I placed a football accumulator on SkyBet. Cash out was suspended as one game was greyed out throughout most of the first half, and continued through half time. All of the other results were going my way but the suspension prevented me cashing out. I messaged SkyBet. Their agent sent me their terms and conditions which lets them off the hook for any reason. Really not good to deny me the cash out in this situation. I plan to start looking at alternative betting apps.

been a loyal customer with sky bet for years as i have sky tv aswell, but recently I’ve not been allowed alot of the sky bet promotions or sky bet club which i was a member of,with no explanation so I’ve closed my account and when my tv package comes to an end i will be closing that down aswell

For any person potentially wanting to join Skybet, DO NOT. Games. do not even try it not possible to win, they will give you small insignificant wins and drain your funds.Luck o The Irish Cash Strike Rapid Fire if you play this game on any other alternative bookmaking platform you have better chance of winning and you access BIG WINS.SKYBET IS A RIP OFF.Price pinch on horses as soon as you choose a horse they decrease price.SKYBET RIP OFF.DO NOT JOIN THIS PLATFORM, WORST OF THE WORST.

My review is just based on the withdrawel process. Which seems to be smooth only withdrawn a small amount via my debitcard and in account within the hour i dont know if its the same with higher amount.

Reply

The “free games” are always rigged, I’ve played rival reels many times and almost ALWAYS when I’ve not loaded much cash to my account. On reels it won’t give me any special items in the final minute, other players get 30k points 1 spin after loosing everything then they’ll get a box to steal you points at a cpl seconds remaining… Defi itely not one for digital games betting yeah their digital games are a legitimate scam…

Shocked by the negative reviews, had 0 issues with skybet and love them. Sky bet club is great, promos are good, site is very attractive and easy to use. Sometimes are abit late adding some of the markets I like such as UFC and boxing prop bets but my favourite betting site by far

Reply

They could improve by disbanding. They wasted over an hour of my time and then changed their mind about reinstating an account that was closed for no reason. Unfortunately, I could not give 0 stars

So I’ve used Skybet for no longer than a year. Signed up to use the acca freeze feature and had some decent wins for my stake. Also lost money to them. However apparently I can no longer use the acca freeze feature due to betting activity. No actual real answer, it’s come from the trading team which was passed to the agent who told me. The worst thing about it is I didn’t know I’d lost the feature as they still advertise it to me all over the site on log in. So I spent money on freeze accas to only find out I can’t freeze the game when they actually scored. I had no email to let me know so they was very happy to see me risk my money to find out that way. I feel scammed and it’s horrible. At least tell me before I stake my own money to find out the feature doesn’t work for me anymore. Absolutely shocking. They only want losers. Won’t even give you an explanation as to why the account is limited or deny the acca feature. 0/10 from me. Goodbye slybet. Hello 365

After being a client for SKY bet for over 10 years my account was closed for trumped up reasons. I normally use my pc for betting but logged in in error once on my smart phone. Then some “expert” at their call centre determined i had committed a heinous breach. He even stated it was related to a Betfair account issue which i had closed years before! Totally shabby treatment.

They give you free spins, let you win and then suspend your account so you can’t withdraw winnings. Waste of my time. I’m sticking with Virgin Games, who are efficient and don’t rip you off.

Sky club bet 25 free spins complete joke 70p last three attempts waste of time

Skybet is the worst frim I have used they put your limit down with out telling you there odds are the worst so don’t back with them

Joined with a joining offer of £30 (3x£10) in free bets after deposit £10 and using the deposit straight away. The free bets aren’t really free in order to get your “free” £10 bets you have to spend £10 on each bet first and get the equivalent £10 free bet along with it. Essentially they are trying to make sure you spend £40 minimum with them. Bet365 is completely the opposite, they are true to their word and the £30 is in your account to use as you please with no extra spends. Shambles of an “offer”

Absolutely shocking but they won’t care as their customer service is even worse…used them for a few years and they are the worst they’ve ever been…no stats available for any football these days and they just keep fobbing me off with ‘we only put stats there when opta have them’ which is a total lie just like they have none for the Heart v Rangers game tomorrow….they have also changed their rewards to make them way worse than they used to be…used to last as long as you want but now only last a week so if you’re away for any time you’ll lose them…not only that but you have to select it each week else they default to the worst option….the other thing I noticed lately is their cashout is, as far as I am concerned, as bent as they come….you can go to the game and sometimes they ‘tempt’ you with a higher cashout than the in-play score suggests as they nearly always update the cash out up to 30 seconds or more before they update the live score…as far as I’m concerned they’re not worth using anymore and don’t give a damn about their customers.

Closed my account with no explanation after 5 years of being a loyal customer and high roller. Absolutely useless and shocking customer service. Avoid Sky Bet at all costs and use a more trustworthy site, there are lots out there.
