SkyBet Review

Easily my worst experience with any gambling site in the UK. Not only do they never have any inplay markets, their promotions/boosts are a complete joke. Sky are running a “legal” scam. Moreover their casino (sky vegas) has the worst running rtp I have ever experienced you will not get a cent from them either when it comes to loyalty/ cashback, any slot or any promotion for that matter. I highly advise anyone with an account to close it or not open one in the first place. Beleive me I have experince it is a complete shambles over there. They should be investigated its that bad I am not entirley sure what checks the UKGC do but its non existent by the looks of it. I would say more but that should be enough to encourage anyone to never play/bet here.

I am not surprised at the low rating.Not only does it restrict betting but someone managed to deposit into my account and carry out transactions. I contacted Skybet and it froze my account and has not told me how it managed to accept a deposit from someone else into my account. It’s security is a joke and I will be contacting the data protection agency to get them to act.

PLEASE READ This is utterly outrageous, signed up, deposited and played. Won £75 from a £20 deposit, i was very lucky, I then withdrew my money and placed some more bets. Behold, 5 hours later my withdrawal has not been received, to then find out my account has been SUSPENDED. now they are asking for my documents which is fine, however if you allow me to deposit and play you cannot withhold my winnings and play the AML law/verication process, Absolutely Pathetic, I will not hand over personal documents for a measly £75. Handing over my documents at the sign up stage is acceptable,not when you want to withdraw, I will warn people about this behaviour. Spending millions on advertising, allowing people to deposit and play without fully verifying them is breaching AML laws/KYC rules. You have done this too many people as I see on your review pages for a long long time. We,the customers need to take a stand on this crooked behaviour. Ps. Don’t even bother with the live chat, they rudly end the chat without you even reading what they say. Avoid,Avoid,Avoid. Your money will be spent on crooked advertising to entice more people to gamble, and be put plainly. ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. You have been warned.

Once again Sky bet for some reason what seems a vendetta against me have no idea why. I’ve given them a lot of Business over the years. Recently won a bet doesn’t happen very often. Leaving me with £35, so as I’ve been off a week recently with a illness. I thought I’d better put that in the bank. I have also recently changed my bank and put the right card into Sky Bet. And have used that card to put money into Sky Bet to make different transactions. But when I come to withdraw it they wouldn’t let me. Because.I don’t have a letter about switching banks. I’ve never had a letter off my bank to say that I’ve switched. And if it’s such a problem why did you take money off me from that account. How mean spirited. I placed the bet and you won’t pay up. Just When I Needed my money because I’ve been off work ill, you let me down. Trouble is guys and girls they don’t care they don’t even respond to these messages on here how awful. Big company like you and you want to take £35 off me you should be ashamed. I know you’re running a Vendetta against me but I don’t know why . And apparently you claim to care about people’s mental health how the hell can you say that.

Sky bet app utter crap. Robbing betting site too

Very poor, they restricted my husband’s account so he wasn’t allowed any promotions or free bets. His crime not gambling enough I presume. As a pensioner he enjoys the occasional flutter of maybe just 50p ew on the horses, & would also do an occasional free build a bet offer. More often than not he loses anyway so it’s not like they’re paying out a fortune to him. I thought they encouraged responsible gambling. Apart from that they pay the worst odds on the market, & don’t even pay the best odds on Win only bets when they are offering extra places or money back on 2nd & 3rd places, which is of no benefit to win only bets. Is there no bookmakers that cater for people that just like a little occasional flutter without punishing them .

Reply

I cannot understand that when I place a Win bet I don’t get best odds because you are paying extra places.Extra places will not effect my win bet in anyway.Example I have placed a £20 bet on 5/1 horse it won at 8/1 however, I didn’t get best odds because you were paying 4 places instead of 3.Explain how that being it’s my WIN bet.

Must be shut down asap coz more people will do suecieds by putting them in big lost of saving and debts…I am IT guru….and made few checks can’t believe they are allowed to pore it

The offer of ‘Money back as a free bet if your horse finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th’ came upon my app. I know very little about the horses but gave it a go. My horse came 2nd but apparently I don’t qualify for the offer so didn’t got money back.Why allow me to select the offer in my app and then refuse to honour it. How about the radical idea that you only show offers to people who qualify for them!!!

Sky Bet , what a miserable , miserable experience they used to offer the SKY BOOST most weekends then that stopped.Then they caught up to all the other sites and decided to offer a free spin of a wheel that is manipulated to win a miserable 10p bonus EVERY single time you win and that’s not that often.Oh with the option to use it on a terrible scratchcard game where you never win anything anyway.Lots of star faces on there like Carragher , Stelling etc from their football coverage to sucker you in but miles and miles behind a lot of other sites out there.

Every day skybets prices are the shortest in the industry on every race! To make it worse they offer extra places at a 5th instead of a quarter is the normal but no best price even if your not backing ew!?? Do you think punters are stupid? Who would back at shorter industry odds with no best price???the first show a horse is 11/1 but skybet go 8/1 because of the extra places scam you can only get8/1 regardless of sp there’s a 16/1 (skybet) 22/1 and so on ACCOUNT CLOSED!

Very poor from Skybet! So I had a 4 fold footy accumulator that was coming in but a game that had finished 10/12 minutes earlier was still saying suspended, stopping me being able to cash out, which would have been a profit of around £150. Very convenient indeed! They blame it on a technical issue yet the game had finished, even while it was in-play, it was saying suspended from the 90th minute and still was able to tell me that Bolton had scored a second & things like who was in possession/who was attacking & more importantly, it had finished. The Murdock family must be hard up at the moment that they have to rip their customers off! Scum bags

On October 6th, I received an email welcoming me to their website followed by an email congratulating me on upgrading “my” membership account. I do not gamble. Also this company is based in Ireland/the UK. I am an American! I have no idea how someone from there got a hold of my email to open this fake account. After some online research, the only thing that could make sense to me for someone to use someone else’s email is to seem “legitimate” while using this gambling site to launder money. Meanwhile, I’m getting all these emails that have nothing to do with me and potential risk for the email being linked to my credit report and looking shady. I emailed Skybet’s customer service same day with all the research and information I could find with the name that was attached to the account (if it’s even the con artist’s real name??!) and absolutely no response. I don’t know if they even care if their site is being used for money laundering. Maybe they’re in on it? I don’t know, but for a website/company that claims to have excellent customer service, they have NONE! It’s been one month. Plenty of time to reassure me this will no longer happen or that my email has been removed from their system or anything. But no, only silence and enabiling bad behavior online!There is NO SECURITY and NO CARE for Skybet! Beware this shady company!

Offered a cash out but once I clicked it wouldn’t allow me to cash out. Tried over & over again. Spoke to live chat & still nothing. I then went on to lose the bet as it didn’t allow the cash out. I screen recorded it not allowing the cash out to which I was told there’s nothing they can do & I can’t be reimbursed.

Reply

Never reply to questions when they fail to payout or their website suspends in play bets for no reason. Acca freeze suspended the whole bet and would not release it, winning team suspended for 30 minutes meaning no cashout available. Shot on target bet didn’t pay me but paid a friend who had exactly the same bet!

Terrible company that will restrict your account if you win regularly

Sky bet is one of the worst betting sites that needs to do more work for customers The cash out system is poor.It’s ment to help to pull out of a bet But it does the opposite It gives poor cash out amounts so keeps you in the betAlso when u place a bet an your waiting for a another bet to play from a duration of about 3 days.The cash out drops. Why? Also when make a bet you have the option to claim back your bet before it goes a head.But sky bet give you no choice todos this.The site needs to do more on the fair play an stop cheating customers over penny’s.Other betting sites offer more.Free games free bets free spins good cash out option.

A truly shameless con of a company. The extra places con is the worst. No guaranteed price on extra place races. So what if your each way selections win? They fix the price artificially low so as you get stuffed. 14/1 and 16/1 actually won at 16/1 and 28/1. They even had the nerve to put a 10p rule 4on the second winner. Made about £280 difference in the payout for the double. Always underpriced. A scam and complete con. AVOID.

Put on one of there request a bets on a 6 fold accumulater, it was 2 players to have 5 shots on target between them in 90 minutes odds of 15/2, both players didn’t start the game and come on in the 70th minute which leaves me 20 minutes to get 5 shots on target from 2 players odds would be 500/1 in that time!!! any other betting site on the planet that bet would have been voided not sky bet tho says because they played more than 10 minutes the bet stands! Even worst wouldn’t let me cash it out before the game when I seen the line-ups pathetic other 5 came in of course. Don’t use any request a bets they put up on there site as if any of the players don’t start you will get done over if they come on for more than 10 minutes, also person on the live chat was extremely rude especially when I copy and paste the terms and conditions on there website regarding players not starting games… (Hojlund and Callum Wilson) were the player pre selected by Sky Bet in the Manchester United Newcastle game bet also stated in 90 minutes not 20 minutes… stick to Paddy Power folks

Only when I rote message on live game to inform others be careful about the roulette game it seems dodgy not real they have deleted my messages and suspended my account and now the found which left in my account wanted to credit into my account but no one response. If you want to waste your money not fun or entertainment just frustration then go and make yourself f…otherwise better to not use it. Minus 5

Sky bet are the biggest scammers they will hold your money even though you won they will find any reason not to pay you out they will suspend games untill your in a losing position or even to the end of the game. They lie about the sports stats so you think 1 team is doing loads better then boom your team is losing and the other team hasn’t had a shot haha there the worst for pointing you in the right direction. I carnt stand them now bet 365 ain’t bad go there don’t trust skybet you will get something good of them and they will take it with some strange excuse then block you off and restricted your account… the worst is where if you about to put a team on inplay and the team scores amazing how many times they have scored as I put it on now if the goal is against you they wil allow it then your down before you even started or if it your team that has scored they will suspend so you carnt place the bet there dirty like that

Was having a great experience tonight give take was fun than I came across this slot King Kong cash even bigger bananas I spun for 23 minutes with no bonus and balance completely eaten I’m shocked please don’t play this slot.

They told me my stakes were now limited to £1.33! I’ve lost money to them, so they have made money out of me. No explanation and wouldn’t discuss it on the phone. Disgraceful treatment when other betting companies have given me unlimited credit provided I have funds in my account.

Absolute cheats put me 15 minutes behind time so they know the end result 15 mins before I did and offered a cash when the match had actually finished so I won the bet bu stillt lost out

Avoid these scammers. How they can not void a bet when a player gets injured 13 mins in is disgusting. All the major bookies either voided or adjusted odds. Don’t use this tin pot company which makes its rules up as it goes along.

The advertised odds on a bet at 100/1 then when the bet had won they paid out at odds of 7/1 I had placed 5 pound on the bet so got 40 pound rather than £505

I had my football bet win at 100/1 when It had won they only paid me 7/1 due to ‘mistake’ to which it ovbs wasn’t. Users of SkyBet need to be aware, I will be getting a complete investigation done and will be taking this issue further along with many other people on X which have had same problem. Sort it!

Do skybet actually stand your bet or lay it off to skim a fraction as when you go on racing post app and click on price it will give you all the bookmakers odds on that horse and 100% of races skybet go shorter! No Brainer to bet elswhere!

Well been with Sky sports for many years but find there extra place horse races which then terminates best odds guarantee end up taking lots of points from me, today backed a horse in the CESAREWITCH at 66/1 ends up 100/1. another one in the 13 50 back it at 16/1 finishes 22/1 this is just today, thats not to say at times the extra place hasn,t worked for me at times, but the odds constantly drift to there favour over time, i don,t have time to sit and wait untill the last minute to place my bets, yankees are deadly with extra place horses, ie four places instead of three then theres the 1 fifth of the odds on a place,need i go on?
