SkyBet Review

My first good review of a bookie

Great offers great service, instant settlement and crediting. only way to improve would be a 2up early payout promo

apparently the cards are random… but if is a blackjack game where you can bet on pairs hardly ever comes in…. you bet on a game where you can't bet on pairs they come in every other hand…ive seen 3 x perfect pairs on the run…..amazing…….

Terrible service. Didn't pay out my bet which won. A proper cowboy company. How are these allowed to trade at all. Shamballs.

0 stars these crooks deserve. I’ve just close my account as it’s a total fix. Every roulette spin is on a number I don’t have anything on and every blackjack the dealer wins. How can the dealer always get 20 and constant 21. Thieves

Would give 0 if possible. Astounded that Jeff Stelling is prepared to have any association with this bunch of crooks. EVERY single time I place a bet on the correct score of a football match, if I try to cash out, they ALWAYS seem to suspend the bet. On 3 seperate occasions this has happened, only for a goal to be scored soon after and then surprise surprise I have lost my bet !
When you deposit money it is immediate, when you try and withdraw 🙄 they make it borderline impossible, with ‘can’t connect right now’ and other delay tactics to keep your money with them. Even then, when you finally get the withdrawal done it takes up to a WEEK before you receive your funds!!
I am in no way a sore loser, I can simply recognise a cheat & a scammer when I see one and SkyBet, that is you !! When you contact their customer services to discuss your issue, they just don’t want to know. You are treated with disdain and arrogance. Biggest mistake you EVER make is downloading their app.
May I suggest to all who read this that there a far fairer and more honest companies out there such as Betfair & Bet365 that deserve your bets !!

This is an important message to everyone with a sky bet account. Do not play their online scratchcards, slots or live games. They are a waste of money. All they do is take your money and give a little back and then take it all back again. It is an endless cycle. You are not going to win big money playing these games, it is all false advertising. All the games are controlled by computers. Even the live games. Do not fall prey to this liberty taking company. Be smart people and think twice before you use this company again. If you really want to have money in the future, the best way is to save as much as you can when you get it.

Just another muppet betting firm!
Have used Skybet on and off for several years now – everything is hunky dory when you the punter lose but start lumping on winners and wait for their attitude to change!
Won about 700 in the fall of last year then placed a 200 bet on an 11/4 shot
which came second at 5/4 – their oddsmakers are idiiots – they then e-mailed me to inform me that their 'account liability management team' had swung into action and that I could only have pitiful amounts on sine die effectively stopping me betting!
I've got a new jingle for them –
Skybet – it matters more when you can get on!

I put a bet on then i was told it was down for maintenance after i put my bet on could not see my race i will be leaving on 17/01/2021 after my bet slip is empty this is the second time they have let me down.

Reply

Come to log into my account and I was told it was closed. I had only ever signed up and that was it. Spoke to customer services and they said it was a "business decision" stupid as I had only just signed up!
I will use other bet agents instead!

I have never had such a bad service from any organisation that offers the same facilities of skybet. I disputed a bet that had won & sent them several documents. I also disputed something and they blocked my account instead of getting it resolved. They won’t allow me access & have advised that it will remain blocked.

Been playing roulette in casinos and online for decades..and most major sites now are reasonable re reuturns..but Sky net is not!!!!..if you bet small your returns are reasonable and a fair chance…every time i have increased over past 6 months ..have lost..so ONLY BET SMALL..

Reply

Not happy that they voided my 'next London mayor' bets esp. after saying that they would keep them open after the 2020 election was postponed. I was on some really good bets with great odds.

But service otherwise has been fine/good. Yes, I've had to contact them more than once to settle a bet that wasn't settled on time (most recently 7 days afterwards) but customer service did always fix that.

Like most bookies they've restricted my stakes and banned me from promos because I'm good at picking value bets, so they only want 'mug punters'.

It took more than the normal protocol for me to get my money withdrawn from them. First they kept using delay tactics with me in ensuring my money is not given to me by requesting all sort of documents. Later, they requested an exorbitant withdrawal fee which I paid reluctantly. It was when they requested for a document which I had provided earlier, I figured something might be wrong. I reported my situation to Mrs Joanne a renowned recovery specialist Joannedawn56 via email and I got my money back after a long charge-back process.

I won on the ITV7 game back in September. Skybet didn't pay out until nearly 2 months later. During which time they asked for bank details, which I gave them, then they paid the money into another account. So I am checking the account that I have given them and moaning that my money hasn't been paid. When it had been paid into another account that is not used that much. Also I am looking for a payment from skybet and the payments come from a company called Hestview Limited. I have posted this review for two reasons one to make people aware of how skybet work and when checking for winnings don't expect it to say skybet.

I'm quite a new customer on sky bet but so far so good. Nice wins and the funds reach my account within about 24 hours. I like the way its laid out, everything is easy to find.

Have had a Sky Bet account for over 10years which i have used the same bank details for that account, usually gambled and lost. The past few months ive started winning regularly and withdrawing the winnings. Month before Xmas Sky Bet server went down for 24hrs, when it returned the option to withdraw money had gone. Contacted Sky via Live Chat to explain the problem where i was asked for account details, which were provided. Was asked for the address i was living at when the account was created, which i explained i wasnt sure of which address i was living at when the account was created. I gave the call handler the 3 addresses that i had lived at to be told i had provided the wrong address and my account was suspended. Provided details but still refuse to let me back into account. Customer Service is a complete joke, continually moving the goal posts and still refusing to to unblock my account which is paramount to theft. Sky Bet are the worst Betting site i have ever used, absolute disgrace and have only suspended the account as they dont like losing money. AVOID AT ALL COST, NOTHING BUT CROOKS.

Absolute reprobates…they have been allowed to punch way to far above their weight…and are getting away with it, after winning a substantial amount of money they suspended my account they’re trying to find a way not to pay out…after providing all the ID they requested, I then received a telephone call from some wannabe worm of a security guy, who was intimidating and threatening trying to suggest a third party involvement, come on people they’re using an off shore tax haven…one of these fine days someone will drag them through their own mud that they have created, and I can’t wait to read about it in the press, customer service..What customer service! I myself will make it known to everyone who will listen what Absolute Crooks these people are…and I intend to fight them every step of the way. STAY AWAY….

They use OPTA to score some of their markets which allows them to manipulate the results. They settled 2 winning bets as losers. Tried to contact them which is almost impossible, using the online chat was the only way. Didn't check my query & had no intention of helping. They told me to screenshot the conversation if I wanted a record & then promptly cut the conversation before I could do it. Now I have to take it up with the Gambling Commission. Complete scumbag organisation, avoid at all costs.

Played as a loyal customer for weeks and they just banned me from all promotions on a whim. Is it because I’m a whopping 80 up? Come on Sky, you should be bigger than that and your customer service representative- who you wait for hours for – should be more than the awful Stepford reps they are. Awful company – don’t waste your time.

I placed a bet on Vardy +1 shot on target (Lei – Crystal Palace match). He did not start the match and cash-out option was available in the first half for 10 pounds (stake amount). He than was brought in as a sub and played for 26 minutes without a shot on target. Any other bookie i bet with (at least 4) would consider t this bet voided. The sky rules description online dont have this particular market, but has player most shots on target which state that the bet would be void, if the player does not start the match. In this case, they stolen so much money by offering enhanced offer with their own rules, which are different than any other bookie in the UK. I would advice to avoid at any cost, they cannot be trusted. Customer Support did nothing to fix this, just saying they understand the frustration, bla.bla.. I have a couple of more bets for this week which i already placed and then leaving them for good.

Didn't credit my free bets as per the promise in their Welcome Offer. Tried to get hold of them via their Live Chat, hung on for hours, never got through. AVOID THESE CROOKS

The app is utter rubbish.it freezes occasionally, but in the last 2 weeks I’ve had 1 day of getting onto site.I have deleted the app off my phone and just use the sky bet from google which works.

Play bonnaza only lost 18 grand in the last year its getting worse cant get a bonus for thousands of spins and when u get 1 they are terrible but my main moan is the constant cutting out and have to reset game soon as it starts payiny a bit its impossable to contact sky sports but least everyday they give u the chance to win a 50p scratchcard or 5 free spins at 10p a spin what a bonus when your dropping 250 pound a day

what a suprise,sky bet web down again,worst online betting site going,always going down

the football In-Play Betting is worst avoid always suspended

Not even worth 1 star, they change there statistics more then katie price changes blokes, but obviously they don’t accept reliability for putting up the (wrong) statistics, which was actually the right statistics, but they’ve clearly got a bunch of tards working for them who can see a shot on target. Full on scam site, don’t bet on here.

Reply

Come on Sky. When you bet on a penalty on the game and there is one , you pay out. There is no hiding place. CELTC TO SCORE A PENALTY . They score a penalty in normal time. You say lose????? So every bet I have lost , do they now win?

Reply

Made a bet that I won and they suspended my account so I couldn’t collect my funds. Complete fraud. Sky bet should be allowed to be a betting company if it cheats it’s customers in winning.

Reply

Skybet offer no best price till 9am on day of race, 365 paddypower n many others offer best price night before as soon as betting opens, they give you four places for a 1/5 instead of a 1/4 which is the norm but no best price on those races even if you backing singles! Absolute rip off oh and there prices always shorter by a point or two, and as for there money back 2nd or 3rd you dont get best price and its only to a tenner stake at reduced odds anyway! THIS FIRM IS FOR MUG PUNTERS ONLY!! CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT AND STOP BEING TAKEN FOR A FOOL! Oh and football odds lowest in the industry on average yout acca is worth 25% more elsewhere

My bet came in an they said brentford didnt have 5 corners yet every where else says they had 5 corners yet they said f##koff it lost

Sky bet slots are the worst on the market.. .. don't use them. William hill is better and that's saying something…i advise anyone to close their sky bet account. This company are a shambles.

Reply

They suspended my account to prevent me betting with them because they thought I might win. They made me have to do work to collect the money rather than just paying it back to me, this wasn't a verification issue as the account was fully verified, it was just a deliberate attempt to inconvenience me. They left my e-mails unanswered and live chat is almost never there

Reply

They never closed my account but restricted me to betting in pennies. So they only want losers as clients BobEvans

Absolutely garbage,I mainly used this account to access offers.However I may have been too successful as my eligibility to be given access to these offers was speedily removed after Iplaced a few decent winng wagers.I cut my betting teeth in 60s,70s Liverpool.The old style bookies would have chewed this lot up and spat them ou.Pat Whelan must be turning in his grave!

I started betting months ago, my account was charged 1500 and I lost everything. Luckily for me, the last 3 weeks I met the guy on Instagram called green_tipp, the guy games are nerve-wracking !!! .. I have won more than 75,000 just within the last 3 weeks, and guess what ?, he does not 'If you do not charge a penny for his game, you only pay him when you win!
I would definitely recommend you guys to go and check him out on Instagram.

I have been with sky bet for a while now and when I first started the were great however they've really gone down hill now such as for instance they keep your cash out permanently suspended for no reason and the prize machine on Vegas you used to be able to win some decent prizes now I get the same everytime either a measly 10p or a measley 5p on grab a sabbatical 2 which I never win anything on they say they can't control what the machine does well that's such a lie as while I understand your not going to get the best prizes all the time on the prize machine surely you should get them sometimes the machine is obviously fixed to only allow the tiniest prizes on there not on at all sky bet really need to sort themselves out as I've seen all the bad reviews a lot of people don't trust them that is totally understanble not to mention them temerally closing my account and asking for documents back in may this year when I'd won a large amount on Ted and had to ring them because the game coveintly got stuck

Placed a bet treble last night on PSG, man it's, and Barcelona matches. All over 0.5 goals and all over 1.5 goals in the first half. Man I and Barca both over, PSG abandoned. Bet voided. PSG just gone over in match carried forward. Bet still voided after complaint. Bet should have stood or at least paid out as winning doubles on Tues games. Nothing from Sky. This is cheating. Trebles with a non runner are paid as doubles. Anyone else been cheated?

Rubbish company. They have all these fancy offers and free bets and 25 bet club. If you use them they throw you off there site. Anyone making the slightest profit is removed. They are typical bad loosers. I would never trust placing another penny on there site. Highly unrecommended and typical untrustworthy company.

This lot are the worst of all gambling and sports betting sites. The worst odds, the worst promotions, the worst bonuses, the prize machines a joke, in fact the prize machine in general is rubbish. 5p bonuses etc when you consistently use their site. Ive thankfully found a new site which much better odds etc. These lot scam people to fund the epl. 😊 AVOID.
