Disgusting service, they don't let me withdraw the money, every time I want to withdraw they suspend my account. Worst service I received by far, I had my account suspended for two weeks and nothing happened, don't use it, please.

if Skybet wont let you withdraw or access your money, contact thisisgambling.com ASAP!! it is illegal for them to withhold your money and they would not keep getting away with this! thisisgambling.com currently have an open court case against them and are willing to help those customers who's money was stolen!

Awful experience. Tried to cash out a bet but was not available because they lost connection to the game – or so they say.
Following a complaint got a really rude reply. Live chat was also rude and did not pay any attention to what I was writing.
App now deleted, will never use again.
Definitely a company to avoid.

I have used Skybet for a large number of years and cannot understand why they are given such a low rating here. I have read some of the reviews and it seems people have had individual problems but I have never had an issue. It is the most user friendly gambling website I have used and they have very regular promotions, much more so than other bookmakers I have seen. Only reason I don't give them 5 stars is the customer service could be better and somewhat more polite.

sky bet is STEALING customers money!! gambling commission is doing nothing to help users get their stolen money back! it is gambling commissions job to prevent crime, so why is sky bet getting away with stealing thousands every single day!! thisisgambling.com seem to be the only company speaking about this issue and the only company that's actually trying to help customers!! dont trust sky bet they will steal your money!!!

Lucky only a small amount but deleted the app immediately .
Do not use

it is nothing short of appalling, they are very rude when replying back to you on live chat no matter the query. I won a lump some of money and it didn't pay out on the slot. the dont give a monkeys about you, they just want your hard earned cash. keep it in your pocket. end of. if you look down the page you will see all hate them.

I would not recommend this betting company to my friends. My view has changed through the pandemic as Skybet have "moved the goalposts" to give them a bigger advantage. For instance, their best odds in horse racing. Now they do not offer best odds on extra place races. Today, 17th June @ Royal Ascot there are 7 races and 5 are extra place races…. someone has done the math and offering an extra place or two must give them a bigger advantage than paying best odds on that race. As if they dont make enough money. Bring back best odds on all races. Thats what attracted me to Skybet in the first place. I think I will take my money elsewhere..

All the suggested bets where terrible at euro 2020's don't use suggested bets as they are proven not accurate. Use the promotional offers you might win off. Terrible gambling app.

Rubbish!! Backed a horse at royal ascot , 11/2…. ended up 15/2 paid 11/2 . Account closed.

Have decided not to honour a recent offer by refusing to pay out customers on Bale having a shot on target against Switzerland.

If you can't trust a bookmaker to pay out in the event of you winning your bet what's the point in placing a bet with them?

My account was hacked resulting money being taken from my bank account . Skybet response was very poor and refuse to accept any blame. Stay away from them .

before I start I actually rate skys sports betting as 1 of the best, BUT over the space of 1 week I've spun nearly 2500 spins on 1 game (not all my own money, little wins here and there) and not landed a bonus once, 2500!!!!!!! that's absolutely disgusting. stick with sky for your sports betting but never, ever, ever play their slots.

Reply

they done everybody with these extra place races they took guarenteed odds away .your always losing money on the prices

Reply

The only good thing is faster withdrawals. Bad odds for sport and the games are very low RTP, one of the worst in fact.

Reply

flooded with extra place races with no value. Then extra place voids best odds gaurantee. Rule 4 yesterday 20p but sky was 40p and no one to answer questions why they took 20p more than EVERY OTHER bnookie…Accas or L15s they rip you off. First race NR so void and now down to a treble. Can you cash out your stake and replace the bet with another pick??? Nooooo its a cashout offer less than half your stake. Got to be the worst online bookie going and have left after just toooo many rip offs with no customer service available to query any of it…. Avoid

Reply

Bad bad you win on a bet like football or horse… then they take it all back on slots or routelet. Stay away from this site

Terrible best price guaranteed lol joke backed a horse in 7.50 at kempton won I took begrudgingly 13to 8 won at 7to4 paid 13to 8 needless to say deleted account on principle 3.5 on the exchange so I'm with betfair now bookmakers on borrowed time

one of the worst betting companies ever! skybet is stealing money from people and no one is doing anything about it besides thisisgambling.com, the only decent company to try and help customers get their money back! STOP STEALING MONEY SKYBET

Had a bet on a horse, he started running too far ahead of the rest so I decided to cash out when it popped up as an offer.

I pressed ‘Cash Out for 15’
I then pressed ‘Confirm Cash Out’ button.

After the race, no cash was paid out.

Contacted SkyBet, was told that’s just bad luck that the cash out didn’t go through and “we will not be paying you out for your bet”.

Outrageous, and it was only 15 – given how much I’ve given them over last 12 months I will never give them another penny.

Never, Never, Never use SkyBet…..

Yet again I am unable to claim a prize won on the well advertised Prize Machine
It can be difficult to get logged on but when you win, at least you should be able to redeem the prize
Bad practice

They give u wrong odds deliberately then instantly change it after you’ve put your bet then they eliminate that game so you can’t bet on it again it’s a huge scam even in horses they misinform so I’m switching to William hill

Reply

rip off or scam you decide, been using sky for a while, but now it just seems a waste off time, early prices are always always one of the top 2 for least value, site crashes or freezes regular, prize machine free spin offers the worst freebies on the net, and as for the poker its expensive compared to other bookies poker and the cash you win for your entry is CR*P, , if you try to complain it takes ages and in my experience is never ever sorted propley, dont be a mug go some where else to open an account and if you have an account close it and move your cash else where, or expect a crap service crap freebies and crap customer for the rest of your stay with sky, stay and be a mug a very very big mug

What a joke. This company should be closed down with immediate effect. Spent an hour trying to sort out my online accounts with them. Questions of the questions of the questions. Also they restrict your spending so it’s impossible to win back any money: avoid avoid avoid.

Placed an each way bet on the PGA Championship. When it won on a placed finish they paid out about 1/3 of the advertised 1/5 odds. They pointed to the each way terms which state that if that place is shared with other competitors the each way odds are split. On review, you have to click through 2 discrete links from the point of sale page to find these terms. These links are in grey font – no doubt intentionally so that people don't see the catch before placing the bet. Customer service staff are obnoxious too. Won't be dealing with them again and advise you not to.

Awful service.
Three bets disappeared from my account. That is theft!!!
They have no option for enquiry using your account….but instead ask for all the details a hacker needs.
Pity. I've been with them for a while…
Not anymore.

Haven’t won any money this year (5 months). They have stopped my account and stopped all offers. Don’t bother opening an account look elsewhere, they don’t want your custom and they are not a “proper” bookmakers.
Absolute disgrace of a company that won’t even discuss why!

Absolute theives!!!
I have NEVER done a review before, but I am absolutely fuming.
Won some money on a bet.
They suspended my account.
They asked me to send in my driving licence, my marriage certificate & my bank account.
I done all of that, then they told me they have removed my account. I am not allowed to ever bet with them again & never to get another account with them.

I asked for a phone number as I wanted to speak to another manager and they said no & they closed the chat.

I am taking this further. They have my personal details & have not told me why. I want these removed.
Absolute fraudsters.

Disgusting!!!

Absolute criminals set up my account verified all that no problem placed a few bets won a few lost a few everything all good.Then i started winning large amounts of money this is when they decide they would ”temporarily” close my account because they wanted me to send in more documents so i did this exactly as they asked they then told me to contact their live chat team to book a call with there team so i waited about fifiteen minutes in line before i could talk to someone they gave me a number to call only the number was not real.When i went back into chat it had closed so i had to wait in line again to talk to someone i also asked if they could ring me beacuse i did not want to waste my credit they said no.Evantually i was able to get correct number had to wait fifiteen minutes before someone answered at which time my 20 euro credit had run out so call ended so i then had to top up again 20 euro. I managed to get through in 10 minutes this time and was able to schedule a call asap from them. I am currently waiting on that call. Hopefully i recieve that call soon and can get into my account to withdraw my money that i desperately need although knowing these criminals they will probably make me jump through a few more hoops first and make this whole proccess as stressful as possible for me. Absolute disgrace they are its all good when your losing money to them but as soon as you start winning money from them they do everything they can to try and shut you down and take your hard earned money.Steal from the poor give to the rich

What a scam artist place. Placed a bet on a game and then when they scored markets got suspended and I couldn’t cash out of it. I had placed a double and that game won so I was waiting for 20 min till they could get the game broadcast back and didn’t let me cash out . Had to painfully watch the other game loose after 20 min . Somehow miraculously when that game finished the other game was back on and showed the correct score . No refund given no remorse or apology. Just took my money and ran, so fishyyyyyu that they suspended the game and didn’t let it be broadcasted when the team scored absolute scan artists .

Time to move on to BET365 for me. Clear as day Watkins had 3 shots on target, yes this includes the own goal he still had another shot on target in the 92nd min. Offside or not the ref did not stop play the game carried on with a goal kick.

It's not a bad site but the only thing I hate is best price odds guarantee on horse racing. Every single race live on itv you don't get bogt all you get is extra place's I wouldn't mind but you should get bogt and extra place's no matter what. They shouldn't be advertising best odds guarantee when they don't offer it on all races.

Very slow withdrawal times for such a large, well established company. I have had instant withdrawals with many other sites to the same bank account.

The site is laggy/non responsive, whether on desktop/fibre or phone/4g.

Suspended my account because i took a time out on another site thats linked to them. Their safer gambling policy is only there to suit them withdrew my balance and closed my account

I'M DONE WITH THIS SITE.. con artists and charlatans and god forbid they make mistakes they punish the customers for their incompetence, 4 times i had bets settled as wins withdrew the funds and went online shopping only to later find i spent money i wasn't getting because skybet changed there minds and cancelled the withdrawal, the delays on bet placing have cost me a mini fortune, the customer service team is virtually non existent, and the straw that broke my back tonight, another tech issue, which they neglect responsibility for. i bet on foden 2 sot's (this happened therefore i should have won) when placed usual 6 second delay.. then.. here we go again.. 3 seconds left of MY BET placing, and the entire bet changed to foden 2 sot's and fernandinho carded.. THAT IS NOT THE BET I PLACED, this lost, and therefore because of SKYS ERROR unfairly so did I, in spite of MY SELECTION winning! and after waiting 20 mins for customer service all i got was argument and .. no.. couldn't happen… I WATCHED IT HAPPEN MORON!!!

add on

they've now suspended my account with money in for getting angry about it, what did you expect.

I believe extra place races are a fix. Skybet change the odds to often I have 60/1 returned at 150/1 . When I put a bet on at a certain price , When I try to place the bet it changes to accepts these odds.I can accept the place part, But what has the win part got to do with the extra place they offer. I am closing my account. Disgusted.

This has happened quite a few times. Playing roulette and doing ok ,the ball spins,lands on your number but a sign comes up saying you have been logged out even though you can still see where the ball has landed.they still take your money for bet.what makes things worse is the previous winning numbers change. Speaking to sky help is useless as all they see is a mystery number which they say was the winning number. Also keep an eye on how much you have on each number as they somehow change that but still take the same steak and pay you out less.i have had 2 on a number but they said i had 20p on it.i have made numerous complaints but get nowhere even with photo evidence. Stay away con con con

Sky bet offers a good range of different betting markets and has various different promotions. The odds provided are competitive with other market leaders, so you always get a good deal. But, the app and website can be very slow to load at times and sometimes it’s inaccessible entirely. Customer service is great and always friendly.
