SkyBet Review

Good odds. Easy to use site.Could have more promotions.Reward points could be more generous.

Just in the process of switching
Probs to bet 365
I Don't like skybets idea that paying extra places in a race takes away your best odds option !
And it's creeping into most races now ,meaning you rarely get best odds , not being a big e/w gambler it no longer suits me

Placed a bet on sky bet app. The app stated it was 0-1 9 minutes into the game. Once I placed the bet I pressed the launch game to watch it. The correct score was 2-2 90 minutes. Messaged sky bet who clearly don’t care and refused a refund, just lost themselves a customer absolute disgrace.

Been a regular user for over three years, I won some and lost some over the years. For a couple of months I’d not been that lucky, then for some reason they decided to withdraw my ability to claim my 50 free spin reward each week and removed their much advertised daily free spin. On enquiring I was told that they couldn’t tell me exactly why but it was for “business reasons”. Quite happy to lose my money elsewhere in future.

My account got suspended after a large win and they gave no explanation. For the many months of losing money, the account was just fine, but as soon as I got a win, they suspended it with no explanation given. Avoid

Complete con. Would never use this site again, they offer promotions to lure you in and once you opt in to those promotions you never receive the reward. Will do anything to make money and con you. Utter waste of time, sticking to my usual site in future.

Having had dealings with a few gambling firms my expectations are never overtly high, as they typically try as hard as they can to lure you in but conversely put obstacles in your way if you have luck and want to withdraw, take your money etc… I get that is how they make money but I always hope for more scruples, even when dealing with something as 'taboo' as gambling.

However, having had a lengthy interaction with Josh in SkyBet customer care I am seriously impressed. He was courteous, took time to explain many things that I needed an understanding of and took time out of his day to make sure that my interaction with SkyBet was a positive one. So far so good and huge thanks to Josh for being patient, polite and kind.

Waste of money, waste of time. It's like a hole in your pocket, money sucking has no end….

Really bad service I successfully cashed out on a bet and then it didn’t and they refused to help with it. Just palmed me off saying it was because of a game had trouble in it but I cashed out way before that happened!!!

Skybet is the worst and greediest bookmaker in the UK, you can't win on their slots or bingo because they appear to be rigged to lose, they have a prize wheel stating you can have a free spin, but all you get is either 3 free spins which are dead spins mostly or a 10p bonus sometimes a 50p bonus can be won, but when you play the bonus you always lose, they won't give you nothing free free spins are supposed to be winners, their bingo brings up the same winners over and over with probably fake accounts winning them. Concerning the horse racing you don't get best odds so if you took a price at say 10/1 and it returned at 33/1 you don't get the bigger odds. It's the worst site I've ever been on so think again before you join this Disgraceful bookmakers site or you will end up broke.

SkyBet became very 'concerned' about my recent betting. I pointed out that I had deposited a great deal less in recent months than any time previously, due to a rare successful run! I suggested that their current concerns may be due more to my success than anything else. Cue extra requests for ID, difficulties withdrawing, limited stakes etc. Don't have the gall to win money off these chancers – the casino bouncers are waiting by your car.

Please please please stay away from these completely rigged games. I play roulette and I never win, yeah people can say “well don’t play” but whenever I win a few quid on the footy on a Saturday 30/40 pounds it always takes every penny . There is no way that this is random sadly to say . And I don’t try and win an absolute fortune , most times I try to double my money and have a bit of fun this has never happened in the last year or so . So sometimes I have a 30 balance stake 4 a spin and there’s no chance of ever having a run. Stay away from this rigged game. You have been warned🙄

The have asked me for ID multiple times and are now refusing to give me my withdrawal.

They report fake scores then change the score. Do not trust

after thousands of negative reviews and unhappy customers who are struggling to withdraw their money or whos winnings/deposits have been stolen by skybet, gambling commission is still issuing licence to this company… this indicates how careless the gambling commission is towards their users! thisisgambling.com seems to be the only company that is helpful and that can offer assistance in getting your stolen money back from skybet. i would strongly advise for unhappy users of skybet to get in touch with thisisgambling.com! it is not fair that skybet keep getting away with crime so make sure you don't let them…

Customer service woman (Debbie R) was pedantic, rude and clearly lacked enough knowledge to do her job effectively. Spoke to me in a rude and sarcastic manner. Will be closing my account purely based on the customer service I received.

Attempted many times this evening to establish a Half Time Double result, one team won , second team postponed, Asked On chat for a settlement, first chat , disconnected me, second attempt, no reply at all. They continuously ask for your details having already entered them initially, a disgusting service from this so called customer service, stay clear , they do not care

Wanted to increase credit limit as I could afford it – yet after contacting said they would be decreasing credit limit. Obviously they know my financial situation better than me so I can’t even spend my own money how I want. Great service Clowns.🤪

On several occasions cannot withdraw cash from my account on several occasions on line. Had to phone to withdraw which is not acceptable.Will not be using Sky Bet in future because of this. Thanks

Reply

Sky bet are awful, I couldn’t cash out a large amount and there was no reason just that they didn’t want to pay it out, they lied and said odds kept changing! Absolute rubbish as tried for over 20 minutes constantly & when I questioned them I got a snotty reply saying when you put a bet on you should see it through not intend on cashing out!!! Why have the cash out on there at all then!!!!! Con artist and judging by the amount of times they have done this to people I’m surprised this hasn’t been investigated further!!! AVOID. Use a more honest site with better customer service

Rip off, put bet on 10/1 to win, won at 16/1 but only paid out on 10/1 saying they was paying extra place 4 instead of 3, I did not do a EW bet I done a win bet . Rotton scamers

I was a SLYBET customer for almost 2 years.
Last week I received an email stating I was no longer eligible for promos/SLYBET club/free bets etc.
Over the 2 years my account is in profit by the massive sum of 20.
What is wrong with these bookmakers they should be investigated because they clearly only want “customers” who will spend crazy sums of money every week and they will get “rewards”
Goodbye SLYBET sorry I didn’t lose enough money in my short time as a customer

The main site I use for football and racing. Odds are competitive, great offers most days, app layout is good apart from the Scottish leagues being way down the page which is just silly. Other than that all good.

Been with skybet for a few years. One good feature is that when you bet 25 in a week you get a fiver free bet. There are also other promos. Yesterday a received a note to say all of my free bets were being frozen. I tried to find out what I had done wrong (other than win) and was told trader can freeze an account for no reason (ie if you don't lose). I was flabbergasted. I suggested if I had behaved in a way that was wrong to let me know and I'd not do it… No reason was given and I was told hard luck. Personally I think its really bad, if I was losing would they have frozen the account….. Doubt it…..its so dodgy and chdish. Maybe I should ask for my stakes back on all the bets I have lost over the years too. Was really surprised to see this and disappointed

As a layperson I put a bet on Usyk to beat Joshua.
To me a majority decision meant the judges said he won but apparently there are some criteria which was not obvious when we placed the bet which has prevented our payout!
Very disappointed since first time placing a bet for a bit of fun to see how it would go for any future events.
Interestingly cannot see Majority decision as an option with some upcoming fights so BE CAREFUL

I've been a member with Skybet for years. In general it's a fantastic, competent site but I complained about bets not being settled for ages and it seems the staff are deliberately going out of their way not to settle my bets for as long as they possibly can. Childish behaviour!!!

Reply

Cash out was offered three times for increasing amounts everytime I pressed cashout unable to go through to the second process to enable cashout to be activated until to results changed in skybets favour, having been a Skybet customer for many years not anymore my account will be closed asap.

Never go Skybet!!! Before about 2 years ago Skybet was fine but now they put you on a very restrictive ‘deposit limit’ which you don’t have any options at all. Look Skybet I enjoy playing sports in your App but I don’t feel I have freedom in playing by restricting a deposit to daily 25, weekly weekly or monthly 100. You even put in place a call centre if you want to increase the deposit limit just call the said number and when you talk to a representative they can’t even do anything about it. My observation and opinion with Skybet as an online sports player/gambler is that Skybet is very good in false advertising which only applies to people who are losing but if you are winning you will be watched out 24hrs making sure that you won’t be able to progress in your winning style. I self-excluded myself because I realise this online gaming/gambling only favour those losing players but if you are winning they gonna put you on restrictions. I’ll be back to the traditional betting such as William Hill or Coral.

The actual quality of service isn't all that terrible but if you actually end up winning then it won't be long before you get the dread 'tighter liability management' e-mail where they consider you too much of a risk so they'll ban any offers from applying to your account.

Reply

Just received the "tighter liabiity management" email telling me they have restricted my accounts access to promotions and free bets. Don't dare win…Skybet are sore losers! Haha.

Avoid. Prize machine a real joke, win 20 grand, please someone tell me if they have won ?? Else useless 10p bonuses gonna delete and use a high street bookmaker if I want to have a bet.

Everyone saying they’re rigged , this site is great, you win some you lose some. Nobody knows how to gamble that’s it. These sites get all this hate, but how else are they suppose to profit from a business, you’re not always going to win.

Reply

Removed offers but refuse to explain why. Happy when people lose but not when people win.

Extremely useless customer service, once you closed your account can't get back

Reply

Well well well, I'm such an idiot.
Why don't I ever seek out these review sites before I join up.

I've been playing since lockdown last year, didn't everyone in the country do the same thing?

Drinking up
Smoking up
Depression up
Gambling up.

I'm part of the gambling up brigade.
Here's how I'm doing in September 2021.

Since 13th November 2020 your account is 1444.92 down.

☝️That's a wake up call – when do I get a percentage of it back?
I have made some withdrawals but lately it's been one way traffic.

Just think what I could've done with 1444?
Could've purchased that new bed I need, could've purchased a new microwave or a new sofa.
I'm so angry with myself 😠😠

In the words of the Twitch streamer Trainwrecktv " Where's the juice" Sky?

It can't go on like this, if it doesn't change shortly then I'm out.

Thanks for all the other reviews pointing out sky bets awful dry slot machines they have been so helpful.

To anyone reading this review – all the negative reviews can't be wrong .

Hi all,

Please, please do not put any of your money there way.
As an avid and controlled gambler and most certainly not under any illusions that every time's a win time.
I have been part of Sky Bet for two years and admittedly it has never really been my personal favorite site to use. However, the returns are shocking even over multiple games to the point the win cycles feel very very very scripted.. the only way that I can describe it and to be fair it's my own fault continuing to waste money with them for so long. Really this is a genuine call to consider joining with them; better player return and fun plays are to be had elsewhere..

I have only recently joined sky bet a week ago. To be honest I liked the layout of the app and it seemed fine until I had a bet that looked like winning. I had a 10 euro stake for a few football matches and it all went onto the golf last weekend. The payout was 2k plus. All selections were in awaiting the golf.. From the final day of golf, I never had a cash out. However it was available in another bet I had done. So the big potential payouts cash out option was disabled. Not once over the course of the day did I have the option. I would have cashed out on several occasions through the final round of golf but couldn't. At one point my selection was 1/66 in play so my cash out would of been very high. Nonetheless my bet somehow lost but I was frustrated beyond belief as I would have got some return had I the option. To limit someone's cash out based on the winning potential is unfair and unjust .don't offer the facility if you are only going to use it to your own benefit. Disgraceful service..stay well Clear

They blocked deposits and then suspended my account for winning too much. When i tried to resolve it, they asked me very personal questions over the phone and didn't unblock my account.
