I have had an account for over 15 years and was asked to verify my account which I did which was confirmed in May. Then I got another request to do the same thing which I queried as to why and also why other established Bookmakers don't have the same flawed policy issues.I won't be using them again as it simply isn't worth the hassle.

Worst odds guaranteed! 5% higher than other bookies' over-round, usually more in-running. Now they won't even offer the correct board prices post-first show on horse racing. Complain about - or even politely question - their system and you're in their bad books. My penance is apparently having to wait 4 hours for a bet to be settled despite being annotated as 'Won'.

THIS IS A DISGRACE MY ACCOUNT GOT PERMENTLY CLOSED FOR NOTHING ...... THIS IS MY CHAT WITH STEPHEN H THAT NEEDS TO BE FIRED ....Hi, you're through to Stephen. How can I help you today?Stephen Hhello can i increase my spend limit for £500 to £600 please14:58Thanks for waiting Louise. Please bear with me a minute or two while I check your account for you.Stephen H15:00ok thank plus i used this code so where is my £10 free bet no bonus needed?Ok, that is a welcome offer and you've been warned about contacting us to ask us for free bets and that we'd close your account if you were to persist in doing so.Stephen H15:02it was a offer sorry didnt no it was the wlcome offercan you please stop threating meIt clearly states "NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY" on the image in the link you've provided.i didnt see that15:03We wouldn't look to increase your spend limit, due to there being too many concerns from a safer gambling perspective and you've had numerous declined deposit attempts due to insufficient funds. The constant requests for free bets are a concernPlease consider this your final warning in regards to contacting us to ask us for free bets and that any further requests of this nature will result in the permanent closure of your account.Stephen Hokhave you got a problem with me?15:04all im doing is asking a question for a promo that i thought wasnt new costumers onlyam i not allowed to ask?everytime i ask a simple question on live chat i always get this15:05so have you got a problem with me?Not at all Louise, however we can't have customers repeatedly contacting us to ask for free bets when there will be other customers queuing who need assistance with genuine queries. You have been told this numerous times now and we have warned you about this in the past. I have noted your account accordingly that you're fully aware that we will close your account if this persists.Stephen Him not asking for free bets i was asking for a promocan you tell this to your manager pleaseYou were asking for a free bet you weren't eligible for and we have warned you about this repeatedly, Louise.Stephen H15:06IT WAS A PROMOread again.Yes, a free bet promotion that you were not eligible for.Stephen Hi didnt no that!!i want to speak your manager pleasebecause i feel like im getting bullied here everytime i come on here15:08its not fair on meManagers don't take live chats Louise. However, given the nature of this conversation and the fact that you're persisting with this query despite being warned against it I will suspend your account and ask them to review it and make a decision as to whether we'll offer you an account.Stephen Hexcuse me?you for real?you suspend my account for no reason15:09im gonna do everything in my power to get you sackedive done nothing wrongwhats a email so i can contact a manager directly?That won't be necessary, Louise. I have referred your account to a manager for review now and I should hear back from them shortly.Stephen H15:10ive just copied all this convationyour our of order stephenhow do i make a complaint about you?im not being bullied by youbecause the way your treating me is unfair15:11Ok, I have had a response from a manager who has reviewed your account as well as this chat and the contact history and have taken the decision on behalf of the business to permanently close your account.

We have closed your account due to the repeated contacts to ask us for free bets, the large number of declined deposit attempts and the numerous safer gambling concerns that have arisen as a result of this activity and behaviour. Taking this into account, we don't believe it would be responsible to offer you an account.Stephen HYOU NEED TO BE FIRED STEPHENYOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST METHIS IS UNFAIRi havent done anything wrong at allyour completely out of orderim gonna take this to gambling commsion also

The only thing Skybet does better over some companies is it gives you better "actual odds" than most. As for the negatives, there's lots. Doesn't give you an easy to follow bet history unless you want to aimlessly scroll for minutes to find a 2 week old bet.... Only extensive match options is football, as for the rest like tennis.... Lists sometimes one tenth of the matches of Bet365. Most importantly i placed a bet, won, gave me half the winnings that it should have. Attempting to find out where the rest has gone, good luck trying to get a live agent. Clicked through 4 pages before i found somewhere you could type a request for help. Typed in full what the problem was. Took me through to another page no closer other than patronising self help advice but wiped everything i typed. Typed "live agent" nothing, refreshed "live chat" refreshed, "chat help" clicked through 5-6 more pages before i repeatedly knew clicking on or requesting the live chat graphic lead me no closer to chatting to a bot, never mind a human!! End result, i'm owed money and no way of getting it. Bet365 has a lot of error faults, littered with them but they're very reliable and it's been my go to company for 17 years. Go with them instead.Edit, it's now the dreaded rule 4... Got told it's "because a horse was withdrawn all the other horses have a better chance of winning". Maybe so but a 19 horse race, where the favourite was still running and many other short odds horses and now my winnings were knocked down by a third. Disgraceful. When i eventually found the live chat, i wanted didn't even have the chance to reply in a mini kind of appeal, but midway through typing, midway through the live agent chatting, the chat gets knocked onto "post chat" no way of screenshotting the chat or talking to the agent, no way of backing up, just a blank screen. Getting wound up the more i look into this.

A shambles, had bets on the Open, finished over four hours ago, refreshed my account page many times, still no funds paid into my account, what’s going? Always always delays in payments, they scam enough with sky sports channels, now this.

Had account for 14 months, I don't bet on horses or football that much, only if there is a free bet up for grabs, but 'spend' a lot more on the casino side. Over the last year I am up on the sports side by around £1800, got a bit lucky a couple of times, but only bet when there is a freebie of some sort attached. On the casino/slots side I am £2800 down, so overall they have made £1000 from me in 12 months, not a great amount but still profit for Sky. So what does the nice bookmaker do, they ban me from all promotions and restrict my stakes on all bets on all sports but allow me to have promotions on the casino side! That just shows how unscrupulous these bookies are, I know they are a business but they ban you from one thing because you won a bit and not from another thing because you lost a bit. Well Sky, my casino betting will be done elsewhere now.

I had used sky bet for years and mainly availed of their promotions as the standard odds they offer are always worse than Bet365 and other companies. I had placed a bet on 'money back of your horse is second' and in this case my horse did come second but no refund. I had to contact them to find out why and apparently these has been an exclusion places on my account that I wasn't aware of as they had not informed me.. they now say that the money will not be refunded and without promotions there is absolutely no reason why anyone should use these cowboys. I cannot think of a reason why I should be excluded bar the fact that I'm up over 400 quid for the year in profit and they maybe don't like that. If you fancy a bet online stay away from this shambles of an outfit.

SHOCKING & DISGRACEFUL, their odds on golf are so bad, final major of 2022 in the open championship and because they go 11 places each way they think they can offer 33-1 when others are offering 100-1.. many of betfairs odds who are giving 12 places each way are better than skybets, its shameful.. do not bet with these people and please read all reviews.. i have just opened a betfair account as at least i am getting an extra place and better odds on some golfers.Their promotions are so so bad too, bad customer service all in all i would rate 0 out of 10

Wouldn’t waste your time signing up to use SkyBet. Absolute scammers. Got all my promos restricted as I actually used them as you’re supposed to (as have some friends) Used to spend quite a bit otherwise with them, but now not giving them another penny. Gone to Bet365 instead. Also tried to scam me out of £600 once when “OptaJoe” tried to say an obvious assist wasn’t an assist. Luckily lots of other people complained on Twitter & it was overruled, but worrying what would have happened in a non-televised match. Avoid like COVID.

Awful company like all other betting companies who steal of their users. Changing odds, unreturned deposits, blocking accounts and wins. TIG Consult state that they have to be taken to the Court. Visit their thisisgamblin.com website/ Youtube for live stories. They can assist and give free advice

Betway is pretty great. I have been a Betway user for quite some time and for the most part I’ve had good experiences and actually enjoy using this sportsbook. Unfortunately, I tried to withdraw $5800 last Wednesday. Betway confirmed my withdrawal and settled it as paid on Friday. I did not receive my funds while also being told to contact Gigadat to inquire. Gigadat bounced me back to Betway, stating that no withdrawal got pushed to their system, but Betway says it’s paid. This is a serious concern as no funds have been released to myself and it’s been over a week. I really do like utilizing this app, but no customer should have to chase their withdrawals, especially when our deposits always work… I have obtained my bank statement for this period to aid in this process but still have not heard from Betway. Imagine not getting the money that you earned. Not right

Worst casino site around company must make 99% of profits on this site as rigged as hell! No teasing on this site just steals your money as no matter what you play you will never get a win! Usual cpl of nothing wins but basically sit and watch your money get stolen without even hunting at a chance if you winning occasionally! Appalling

I don't normally bother with reviews but this company really are on another level when it comes to lacking manners and being totally ignorant. All live chat seem capable of doing is demanding your bet ID even when it's not relevant.I will bet elsewhere. Maybe they'll improve their attitude when they lose customers

Have some OK sports promotions but stay away from their casino games. Play like they are totally rigged seen some crazy number sequences like a number you haven't got coming out on the roulette 6 out of 7 spins they just laugh when you complain saying its bad luck. If it was the other way round they would void the game and say malfunction. Make your own mind and use your common sense leave their games well alone

I only gave this company one star because honestly I couldn't give zero. The online casino is a joke and if you just want to waste your time spending money with no returns play on this casino. They consistently play you by making you wait for any bonus's for at least half your waged money then give you bonus's for next to nothing an example of this is.... Start £100 you start playing and might get a £4 to £5 win (play with £1 a spin) you get a lot of little 6p or 20p or 50p wins which are all losses but it feeds you the fact they are wins (they go towards your win count) and when you get down to nearly 33% of your balance they give you a bonus and it pays you say between £1 and £35 most times on the very rare occasion it might pay you £60 I am basing this on multiple games like book of dead , legacy of dead, king kong cash etc the popular games. then it just dead spins out time after time this happened in the 2 months I investigated this site. So don't waste your time or money on this casino there are better ones out there and since they took away the auto spins on all sites it has just gone crazy bad with no wins in over two months on this site, but the computer algorithms will show £1.60 bonus's as you got a bonus and I will tell you this I got 2 bonuses on the run where it paid zero amount (piggy bank bills) and it took over £100 to get them which some people might say well that's gambling... no that's ripping people off. They should pay minimum amounts for bonus's and make it fair time to get them otherwise what is the point in getting bonus's which is what people play for. Take my advice people and stay away from this site and ladbrokes as they are the same online company paying you winnings and taking your money. This is a scam online by these company's so you have been warned and I hope the gambling commission investigates them properly.

I been a customer with paddy power more than 2 years and I need to say is not a very good experience being their customer, I noticed more I’m loyal and more they treat me badly, I play lots of their promotions more than 200 hundreds along I been with them and most of them I don’t win anything, they’re saying I didn’t win this time but the one I win I always get the last price, I asked them many times how this promotions draw works but they can never tell me how or who Decide who gets the first price or last or nothing. I thought very highly of them in the beginning but now is just a big disappointment. I used get a bonus every Wednesday now is been more than 3 months I don’t and every time I contact them they’re saying try next week. I been so loyal to paddy power but I feel they’re taking the P..s especially when I’m a VIP customer but they don’t treat me like one far from that. I told them if I go to a casino and I’m VIP I get free meals or tickets for a show or a night in the hotel . If I was an online Casino owner and my customers are VIP I treat them like one and make sure they’re happy!!

This company closed my account because I was not meeting 'responsible gaming requirements' they claim they use to prevent 'problem gambling'.Sure, I've stepped up my gambling this week, but that was due to the darts tournament.I'm not exactly loaded, but I do have an household income of well over £67k a year, so I don't think betting £90 is the end of the word, nor implies I have a gambling problem.It appears this site upsets quite many people in one way or another. I tried to contact them but they no longer respond to emails and you have to use a FAQ section which is useless.As a note, the odds on darts were great which is why I used the site. I suppose I'll use another company. One that actually has an email or chat function.[Edit] Oh wow, after reading recent reviews (which are almost all 1 star) seems I dodged a bullet with this company

Couldn’t give one star otherwise I would, be greatful even got one. Deposited on paddy power, won some money. When I withdrew my account was suspended. All ID given to them as they requested, account verified yet 3 weeks later my account is still suspended with no communication what so ever. Customer service is a load of rubbish and they can’t even help. Would avoid paddy power at all costs as they will just take your money and suspend your account.

Put a bet on Lewis Hamilton to win the Brazilian F1 race, as half the world know he won, but these charlatans settle the bet as a loss. Almost 48 hours later I’m still being told that it is being investigated by the sports team, some sports team they must have not knowing the result of one of the biggest sporting events of the weekend. Avoid this company!

Account suspended for no reason!!!I have been using Skybet for approximately 10 years, however 5 years ago, I suspended a Paddy Power account. The companies are now linked and despite no concerns or warnings they have permanently closed my account and I cannot open another. Absolutely disgusting customer serviceI see from many other reviews I am not the only one to experience this. I have tried to resolve and they have just told me I will never be able to have an account with them.
