SkyBet Review

Just the worst app. Been with them for ten years. Wouldn’t let me bet in a simple bet so tried to withdraw funds and they wouldn’t allow me to put my own money back into me account. Absolute crooks. Avoid at all costs. Because it will cost you loads when you want to transfer all your winnings back into your bank account. Complete robbers. They don’t like you winning. Reported.

Sky Bet are an excellent betting company. Never had any real problems. They have always paid out swiftly. Never had any issues with any promotions.

My blind disabled nephew had his account blocked for no reason after being a loyal customer for many years.He was robbed and had his bank card stolen so I let him use mine on his account. He recently put his new card back on his account.He called to ask if he could get his account rewards back and the racist customer service staff suspended his account and blocked him from messaging them again. I have asked for a phone number the the bullying racists won’t give him 1. He rarely leaves the house since he was attacked and ribbed. His only enjoyment is to have a bet on the football and listen yo it on the radio. Now the racist bully’s have taken that away from him.

Skybet traders appear to be on another planet. Won’t payout on bets I have where the results have been confirmed. The traders are saying they or it dioesnot finish until December. Buick top jockey this season colin Keane top irish jockey this season and Paul nichols top trainer last season. Saying that one or more don’t end until December. They have all ended. Sky are showing alot of incompetence. You should pay out

When using the casino as you start winning they gradually reduce your time to make a bet to give you less time and if you continue to win all of a sudden you loose signal which interrupts your game sometimes not letting you rejoin ,have also had large wins just wipped off and when I challenged them was told it was nothing to do with them ! I know this sounds like a sore loser but for real gamblers it’s not about the money but when I can see I’m being ripped off that is when I have to say no more !

Rip off. Every time you have a cash out bet in your favour it gets suspended or just disappears. Absolute rip off. Disgusting.

I agree with others that hate the no best odds /extra places rule and they just make prices up that are shorter.Prize machine is a fix everytime I win it’s just 10p ,the odds of that happening on a RANDOM spin is million to 1.Anybody won bigger prize on free prize machine

Reply

Absolute disgrace of a company. Borderline illegal activity withholding winnings.Betting with SkyBet is literally just donating them money because if you win they will keep the winnings.

Reply

Will never be using sky bet again, they are so clever when a customers football accumulater is going well, bets get suspended always in there favor.Yes you can win on there people have to but overall a total disgrace.I would never recommend sky bet please stay away people.

Reply

Scumbags.Was a long time gambler, seeing the tricks these guys pull over and over turned me away from betting.I genuinely pray for a day, online gambling is outlawed to stop these modern day mafia scamming millions per week.

Sky bet are bad but they are not alone, all of them are the same. Where do you want to start? Extra places from 1/4 to 1/5? What to do think this mean? Of cause extra money for them. They make the pricing as well as providing you with the information, and you try to win money from them? near on impossible. This is what happens when you leave a massive company governing themselfs without accountability, they are free to do as they wish. There’s so much I know for a fact about this industry, but if I start to say everyone gonna thing that I am crazy. Best ways! Only spend what you can afford to lose.

Just been paid 17/2 on a horse that won at 12/1 have taken the money out & closed account, every other bookie would pay best price absolutely shocking Sky bet avoid at all cost

Reply

Ok, been betting for few years, lose more, than win. the minute i win 450 over a few weeks they decide to limit my account with tighter restrictions, well, it means they only want losing punters and not the winner….this concludes that Skybet are nothing but crooks

Reply

I have unsettled bets with skybet but all of a sudden ( unknown to me ) they suspended my account. I had no joy when spoke to them , so they are only interested in taking your money . Disgusting customer service.

Reply

Its certain you lose everything dealing with them. scamsters!! how secrecoup reimbursed me still amaze me till date

Reply

Michael in the live chat service was friendly, quick and effective with helping me with my issue. Thank you Michael!

Awful..no one wants extra places we want best odds. When you bet on their specials (eg over goals in prem lge games) they don’t pay out till all games complete stopping you reinvesting till all games are over..useless

Reply

worst betting company out there,and there customer service is non existing avoid them like the plague,robbing fu_ks

Reply

Terrible experience, I wanted to cash out on a bet builder. I had 6 out of 7 legs up and wanted to cash out. The bet was suspended for over 12 mins until a goal was scored, this ended my bet. I will be closing my account and will never recommend this rip off company.

Reply

They did a credit check on me and then refused to tell me why they had done it or how they got my information. The customer service was just like don’t worry you can remove it from your credit report, but that’s not the point. Either they have bought my information from someone, or someone has set up an account in my name. Either way they refused to help and weren’t even bothered about it

Reply

I closed an old paddy power account and then I wake up 2 my sky bet account closed they have said they are joint with paddy power so if you close the one you close both . Have 100s of bets on and can’t get to them now . Spoke to them nothing they can do was not interested at all . Avoid these scammers

Had to give 1 star or i couldn’t post a review. Recently put a bet on at 50/1. They promptly adjusted the odds to 11/10 after the bet was placed. They said it was an error and gave me a 5 free bet. Scammers. Don’t bet with them

Absolutely awful, put me on a credit limit because of an account I had with someone else 3 years ago, even though I’ve been using them every weekend since then, no explanation and when I phoned all I kept getting told was “that’s how we do things now” ??

Reply

See nothing has changed over the last few years.. Skybet are still the same.. Nothing whatsoever to do with Sky & still banning @ restricting punters for managing to get good early prices, and god forgive, actually manage to Win… give these rogues a wide birth… Skybet only want mug-punters…

Reply

I found to be a good fair company despite seeing others reviews. Been using sky bet for a very long time and if you lose you lose and if you win you win always get money fast when withdrawal no problems ever unlike loads of other gambling sites have used! All round decent could have some better promotions or free bets sometimes. But at least there true to there word and pay you what they owe

Reply

I am excluded for 6 months and they are not paying the 68.84 in the usual way. Total conn, never bet with sky bet, total anchors.

Reply

Not sure why I’m bothering with this as Skybet clearly don’t care, but hopefully it adds to the other warnings given.As soon as you start to win a few bets you are restricted to ridiculous maximum bets (anything from a few pence to a max of 4.12 in my case)Just avoid

Reply

Used for over 15 years but a betting company to avoid completely. They do have a decent app and good interface but that’s it. They are massively overpriced and almost all bets can be found with better prices elsewhere first of all. They ban you if you win and use promotions, this is true with sky bet, it happened with a family member, you either lose or if you win they will ban you. I made a larger deposit than normal, as I was thinking about a bet however I did not and withdrew. After this I was contacted by Sky and my account was limited due concerns of my ‘safety’. I was asked questions around employment, savings, gambling habits all of which I was compliant with and even sent in bank statements etc. They then limited my account (I think because I was not profitable to them), even though I have used this for 15 years, and the last 3 years I was approximately break even, in profit actually. They said this was because of my unusually large deposit and its for my welfare, even though I was able to make larger bets years ago whist I was not working and I was a student, where were the welfare checks when I was losing money in larger amounts…?. In simple terms, if you happen to actually have a positive balance with them, they will find a way to ban you and all the other profitable customers, so that you only option is to lose money with them.

Abhorrent, inept and an absolute disgrace to the betting industry. How the hell these scam artists are still trading is beyond me. ?

Reply

Terrible company would not recommend, I did not make any withdrawals as I had won about 100 pounds over a period of a few months.But they stopped all offers and restricted my account to 20p bets so will close my account

Reply

I would give Sky Bet 0 stars if I could. Even if you win a small amount amount of money they will send you the same pathetic and insulting “you need tighter liabilities management” email. Then you are suspended from any free bets or promotions like all the other posters here,you have done nothing wrong,you are just viewed as profitable.However, if you are a problem/heavy gambler gambler Skybet will shower you with free bets and promotions They are a despicable company

Reply

Sky bet is a JOKE band me from the daily promotion for no reason and when asked why got told I couldn’t get told why.Why even have a promotion game if u don’t like people using them!!

Keeps you prisoner.Tried to close my account many times but just go round in circles.May have to report this !!

Casino site is a absolute disgrace! Must have 90% win rate for house its embarrassing! No winning little on here its just take take take no matter what game you play! I thought bet 365 was bad but this is different level!

Permanently closed my account due to apparently self excluded which I never requested . After speaking to paddy power and bet fair no company would help despite it being an error .

Thankyou Gabriel For A Great Job Done!

Had 3 different players to have a shot on target… all 3 had shots on target before one goes off injured… they cancelled the bet and took my stake…

Absolutely shocking from a greedy company. They dont mind if your account is in losses for months and months. But as soon as I started gaining some money back and made 2000 profit over 2 months they restricted account and stopped all access to promotions.they were still willing to let me have unlimited deposits though. Stay away from this company!

Their roulette is one of the worst rigged systems I have ever seen. The game will figure out your strategy and will rig the game against you. I had three quarters of the board filled, and it missed 8 times in a row. You never see this ever in real casinos, or roulette simulators online if you play! Especially as often as it happens on the game. Avoid this at all costs and save your money.
