SkyBet Review

Twice in a week i have had two very big acca's lose because i couldn't cash out. A game in each acca had finished correctly for me, suddenly those resulted games grey out preventing me from cashing out. Oh but lo and behold the cash out becomes active when you're about to lose. Not a con though and not in any way deliberate.

Absolutely disgusting, cash out really is the thing that should be looked into as these companies are cheating us out of money with this.

I've been with Sky Bet for years and you put up with it, but the last two just tipped me over the edge. They lost a loyal customer, hope they crash and burn, disgusting company.

Complete negligence across the company. Failure to act upon a serious complaint instead passing the blame solely to the customer before closing the account in question and not responding to follow up calls/emails made from myself causing further discontent. Unlawful

I thought I'd sign up a Skybet account as never had one but was stating i already had an account with them. After contacting them it would appear someone fraudulently used my details for an account. Skybet confirmed the account was fraudulently signed up
and banned it, but then they told me as a precaution they're also banning me from ever signing up an account with them and told me it was my fault for letting someone steal my details. Absolutely disgusting customer service, demanded to speak to a manager an they refused.

Awful, been waiting 45 mins for an online chat, still no reply

Just complained to sky bet regarding their app stating my accumulater had gone down when the second half of Brighton and Watford only started. My bet was still live but it said I had lost. Joel at their web chat told me that it was a glitch in their system. The game was still live and my bet was dead, Joel ended the conversation stating that Skybet cannot do anything without allowing me to respond. I had waited 28 minutes to start the chat this was 5 minutes into the second half and the chat was answered at 7:07 and once the game had ended Joel ended the chat. Very poor service and a bit weird that he waited until the game ended before saying bye and cut me off. I will be terminating my account with them immediately.

Terrible company.
If you have a few wins they will restrict your bets to pennies.
Should not be allowed a bookmakers licence.

Cash out of your bet don’t place any of these as when your winning and have multiple bets on the go you will not be able to tried 3 times, then couldn’t find the bet by the time I found it was suspended and lost.

Another UK operating gambling company, registered offshore that doesn't like to pay out when you are winning. Placed a few bets in the last 2 weeks, mainly winners and they restricted my account due to "tighter liability management" to avoid any further loss for them.

Don’t use sky bet if you like a cash out! Complete scammers

They really have got worse lately. Dodgy cash out trends, random timescales for withdrawals, suspect periods of downtime, weird times can't even log in, there are far better platforms out there too.

Skybet is the best
Skybet is the best betting site, they offer good odds and they pay out very fast,I won allt within the past last week with the help of PLATINUMTIPS__ on Instagram, I would recommend you message him if you wanna win, his the best though, please make sure you switch to Skybet today, they are the best

This company is a joke,they have all sorts of tricks like fading out in time play , putting red card where it will confuse you, showing a team attacking in order for you to cash out quickly and lots more.

Reply

I had a dispute with them over a price because they no longer give you best price when they offer their special place prices. Turns out their rules cover them but would not bet with them again, plenty of bookies pay out on places and also offer best prices.

Reply

I've had my account restricted because I won on their live roulette tables..
Seems unless you're willing to just throw your cash at them and loose all the time then they don't want you there..
Terrible company..

Absolute disgusting company who will bleed you dry and dont care the about the effect it will have on you and your family. Stay away from these thieves or they will ruin you. I am taking them all the way in a dispute and wont stop until i get a black mark on their operators licence !!! Scum of the earth !!!

I was offered a Cash Out on an ACCA on Saturday which I chose and confirmed. Next day I checked my account. I contacted them only to me told that they had a system issue so tough. Apparently they can have a system issue that is not visible and despite me confirming that I wanted that doesn't matter, Sky keep my cash. Shocking

Slots ratio win is terrible! Their free spin daily is awful!

Should at least credit its customers with some free bets after robbing its customers out of cash outs. 2 very decent cashouts I had on 7/8/21 and like many others end up with nothing.

Reply

Wouldn’t let me cash out, after repeated attempts ‘are you sure you want to cash out?’ Press yes- nothing.. it’s actually stealing money.

Reply

I put 1000 in a skybet account off my card which was accepted any verification should of been asked before accepting my 1000 not only will they not let me withdraw the 2030 what I turned it into they have my 1000 stake this is a disgrace they advertise all over the television bet responsibly they are responsible to not to accept my 1000 in the first place they want their cake and eat it a total Liberty and disgrace

They are scammers , burn in hell

I was on for 16 hours I was given no advice just on a machine for 16 hours non stop
Never again I thought sky was supposed one of the best

Reply

Skybet offer cash out but then when you try to use it, it doesn’t work. They advise that this is an error due to so many games changing in the last 5 minutes. Isn’t that what happens every week?? However, none of my games changed and we haven’t even started with the Premier League yet. Take my advice and use another betting platform.

Trying to help sort an account and live chat and e-mail are the only contact points, why no phone number??

Live chat and e-mail wasn't helpful

Used customer services Nick dealt with my request he was quick and efficient I would give him five stars but the company I wouldn't give any stars they robbed me of 400 when I wanted to cancel a bet even though my first horse had one they wanted to keep the money at all costs I wouldn't accept the bet should have been a single and not a double so as a company I don't recommend them

Reply

Customer service is awful, no help, lazy.

A decent bookie for footy betting ,but if betting on horse racing use other bookies as sky dont do BOG on a lot of races due to extra places.

Reply

Absolutely shocking company. I was on for a jackpot on deal or no deal with a no lose bonus. Spun the reels as I thought I may as well due to the no lose bonus I had just won, I lost the spin and it kicked me off! Contacted them straight away to complain and basically got told I was seeing things. If I didn't get a no lose bonus id have just taken the winnings I'd built up. Customer service no help whatsoever and screwing people out of winnings. It's safe to say I've closed my account and won't be returning. There's better companies out there. Paddy Power and ladbrookes apps are way better and I've never had an issue with them.

If you do send them your ID they then ignore your emails avoid at all costs they owe me money but suspend me for no reason. They are thief's and 2ill steal your money aswell I recommend you use betfair over this joke of a company

I've used this online bookmaker for about 5 years. Really pleased in general but there are times when they just will not settle a bet. I go on another site at nights for american racing as the 'late shift' just don't settle bets. Been waiting over an hour for a bet to settle. Unacceptable!

Dirty thief's done me twice out of 400 and 10 scaming you out of your winnings disgusting

Under over price boosts very misleading – back over 180 runs in T20 International, only to be settled as a loser, told me i backed unders. this aint fair and is very misleading. "++++180 or under boosted"" against any trade descriptions act, surely.

Placed a bet on the horses. Once bet placed potential winnings dropped from 400+ down to 4.64 even though all horses were still running. If one had dropped out I'd understand. Put the same bet on again when I realised and now I can win 616

No stars if I could, opened my account yesterday, placed some bets, went on the app today to see how it was going . Account suspended, can’t phone them, live chat only, want me to send passports, driving license , utility bill, everything a scammer would want, don’t know if it’s genuine, never had this with William hill

Reply

Stole 50 from me and refused to pay out on a bet I won, then closed my account permanently.

I usually only bet on horses, but the site offers and promotes various other ways to gamble. I decided to have a flutter on roulette, only 3 days, not big amounts and didn't lose much but have had my account suspended for unusual activity. It's unusual activity to bet on a gambling site. It's unusual activity to try different games they offer and promote, ridiculous. Now I have to call them! The number provided has a recorded message telling you to use live chat, live chat tells you to call the number. Close my account and return my balance.

All the promotions to do with free spins is a scam. Only use this site to make bets on things. Anything else to do with the site is a SCAM they also have poor customer service.

After being a customer for over a year, I was suddenly excluded from offers without any email or notification. I was betting all week and being advertised offers without any way of knowing this. This is terrible practice, I was risking my money without being told that my terms had been changed. I was being advertised offers which I was excluded from and then trying to qualify for them. Skybet have profited from misleading me in this way. That sounds illegal to me, I'll be looking into the issue. Support chat refused to say why I had been excluded and admitted that I was not contacted regarding the issue.
A company the size of Skybet should operate with honesty and transparency. In this case they have acted incredibly shadily and I would certainly have spent less money with them this week had I actually known I was excluded from the offers I was taking part in.

Placed a bet on a football game . Apparently the bet ends after 90 minutes . Extra time is not included. I bet on a match result, not on how long the match would last. Thieves.

They’re a very bad company, they stole my money after withdrawal I never had my money on my account, still chasing ghosts .

So, last night I qualified for the free 5 weekly skybet offer and the app showed that I had qualified but all of a sudden the free bet disappeared. I contacted skybet today asking why this happened and was told I'd cashed out a bet. The only bet that was cashed out was the Harry Maguire winning bet. I could not have won anymore or lost anymore on that bet so I did cash it out. The winnings were the winnings on that bet. I explained this on skybets twitter but again I was told because I'd cashed out the bet I had not qualified for the 5 free bet. Please be aware of this. I'll be closing my skybet account shortly.

Like most bookies Skybet do the same , although I did think up to this point they were better. After a big 2k win off a horse yesterday I found today I had been stake restricted, no explanation given except it was a decision by the trading team yadda yadda They would be quite happy to take someones money whom was on a losing streak but don't like when you win. Why even open this type of business then? Quite frankly I believe it's legally grey as it does border on discrimination, can you imagine a restaurant refusing to serve someone x amount of food or tesco saying you can't buy as much as shopping as someone else. You either treat all your customers equally or you shut down. Hopefully Parliament will be applying more scrutiny on bookmakers in the coming years.

FRAUDULENT WEBSITE – They should all be locked up. I placed a bet and It came in, meaning I won, but they won't pay out as it says 'within the 90 min' …when I was placing the bet it did not say anywhere that it was within the 90 min, they conceal their rules elsewhere within the website, this is how they con so many people daily out of their money, this is FRAUD
