SkyBet Review

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.

I started betting months ago, charged my account with £1500,and i lost all. Fortunately for me, last 3 weeks i met on guy on Instagram called ity_tipsterr ,the guy games are nerve wrecking!!!..I’ve won more than £75,000 just within the last 3 weeks, and guess what?, he doesn’t charge a penny for his games, you only pay him after you win!
I will definitely recommend y’a to go check him out on Instagram.

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.

8 races on itv and skybet only have best odds guaranteed on 4 races. Total rip off. I will be changing to another online betting site immediately. The squeeze is on Skybet trying to get as much as possible. Why not give best odds guaranteed on win only bets.

I am so disappointed with sky bet. There site is by far the easiest to use and very user friendly. But they are cheats and Rob and steal off there loyal members. They delay and give false results to mislead you to put a bet on that’s already happened. I have proof of this and have spoken to Ian Proctor the CEO of sky bet and he has passed me on to his team offering me a pathetic excuse of they are a bookies not a result service. What an absolute joke from a company that made 1.8 billion last year from robbing loyal betters. I have now decided to take them to a small claims court after being cheated so many times and now I have received a very threatening solicitors letter. I have proof that sky bet took 3 football bets off me. whilst giving the wrong score result. Again when I contacted Ian Proctor. He passed me to one of his team they said we are sorry and have credited your account £10….. are they kidding. They are cheats and I’m going after them. If anyone else has similar stories please let me know. I don’t no about Jeff Stelling how about Jeff stealing.

Slots and live casino don’t do it. You won’t win. You can’t win, I’ve tried so many times, it’s absolutely impossible. It’s so fixed (fact). Not a sore loser I don’t expect to win all the time, but maybe money back every so often, not on this site just lose lose lose.

Love the app (very user friendly) and they are actually pretty good at dealing with issues with customers, in my experience. I tried a few other sites recently but have reverted to skybet. Customer service has been the main factor for me.

Just had a bet with Skybet. A £10 promotion plastered all over their Homepage. Fernandes+ Rashford + Mbappe + Neymar all to have a shot on goal. (3/1). In Man Utd v PSG (2/12/20)

Neymar + Rashford scored. Fernandes blasted a header at the keeper in 83 minute. Mbappe had a shot across goal saved by DeGea just before halftime. (This can all be seen on any YouTube vid Man Utd 1 – 3 PSG ).

Skybet refused to pay out & kept my £10 stake, as they stated the Mbappe chance was a cross rather than a shot. This is highly debatable, as he was about 6 yards out; and either way irrelevant as the ball was travelling goal bound and required the goal keeper to save. By ANY definition this is a shot on target.

Skybet have stolen my £10 stake and are withholding a rightful winning of £30.

Good grief it was only a promotion with a betting limit of £10 anyway, so I have no idea why they would not just honour it for PR purposes?

This theft has been reported to the gambling commission, and will be the last bet I ever have with SkyBet.

I am a new customer but not for long,I placed a bet on a 9/2 winning horse it returned at 11/1 SP.
I was under the impression that like Bet365 I would have been paid out at 11/1,so my way of thinking I am out of pocket of £19.50.
The Favourite was heavily backed so they must of filled there satchels with that result.
I have emailed them and have been treated very badly l just hope that Sky Bet treat there customers in the future with more consideration.

No stars but have to put 1 to write this…Dodgy, Dodgy, Dodgy these people will rip you off as soon as look at you, they have so many ways not to pay you out it is unreal, their systems are rigged to rob you, I seriously can't believe they have not been investigated by the gambling commission, wake up gambling commission you would have a field day! Don't use them people, they have robbed me for the last time, Bye Bye Skybet!!!

I have been Suspended permanently and I can not see any reason why. Not in profit and only a few E/W bets. It is Disrespectful to not give some sort of reason Customer service just say they do not have to give a reason it is in T&C's. Made an official complaint and get the same answer.
If i have done something wrong then I would like and expect to know what it is I am being accused of. They do not care about customers. If enough people avoid Sky bet then they will have no option but to close down.

Like most have said you won’t win anything and after looking at my banking history today and realising I’m £1800 down in 2 years I’ve done the self exclusion

Skybet making betting worse! Offer extra places at a 5th instead of 1/4 odds which is the normal but no best price like b365 paddypower n every proper bookies do, account closed!!

Reply

If you are betting on live sports its ok with a good layout and easy navigation but dont bet on the live casino pure scam, Also it lacks good promotions and free bets so not a good betting site to stick with.

Absolutely shocking! Placed a 33/1 bet before the liverpool v leicester game lastnight won the bet then was notified that skybet made a mistake with their odds and was told i would only be credited with a 16/1 offer return. Basically said they mistakes 33/1 with 13/1 which is a complete lie as i do shots on target on a lot of games before hey kick off and the odds are always over 20/1 so they have lied blamed it on technical issue n scammed me out of half my profit the absolute Pusssyboys.

Just lately when placeing abet online I accept advertised price only to find when I go to bet slip price is always changed 90% of the time shorter odds. With in play betting you can accept this but this also happens before the start of the event. Would not mind if sometimes the price was better but no always shorter

I would give it 0 if I could. Opened an account with them deposited 500 on casino and lost then another 500 and lost and then 1000 and lost . Then after about a month deposited 500 and was lucky and hit it big on roulette and won 50k .withdrew 20k and after 2 minutes account suspended . Asked for kyc
1.passport with selfie
2. 2 months unredacted bank statements
3. Picture of the card

Provided all and then received a phone call where the safer gambling staff was accusing me of not being the person even though sent passport with selfie dated on the day . 'Reason for this is I've been in the country just 3 years and my accent sounds too good'
Then he said the 2k total deposited from my bank the month before was paid into my account by another person 2 days before I deposited it so now he is asking for that persons proof of Id ..
This is just the tactics they use to delay withdrawals and find ways which will make it unlikely for them to payout.

Cheating $hits fully removed my cash out option on 99% of time. Go to hel! c@nts

The customer service spoke to me like I was a down and out drunken betting addict, surely with all the money they make they can afford decent staff.

ZERO Stars would be more appropriate.
£2 double on 15/2 and 33/1. 33/1 went out to 50/1. But because they offered everybody extra place, each way betting. They never paid the BEST ODDA GUARANTEE. THATS PLASTERED EVERYWHERE! £300 they kept off me the dirty robbing conmen. I’ve been with them for years as well. This isn’t the first time I’ve had problems with them either. But it’s the first that I had to leave a review. Nothing but scum the company. Stay well clear. Use BETFAIR or BET365 as the cash outs are miles better on them.

Why can’t you give 0 stars, customer service absolutely horrendous,

It's unusual for me ever to give a 1* review about anything My feeling is that people who do, usually have an axe to grind.

And in the case of SKYBETS, I do.

I've always suspected that online betting might be something a little suspect about online betting, but thought that I might give it a try to bet on the US Presidential Elections, as an expat yank living in the UK, I voted in this one via absentee ballot.

Signed up with SKYBET, uploaded £100 to wager on my favourite candidate…and Whamo! that is when the following nightmare started:

SKYBET froze the account within 5 minutes of receiving my £100 deposit and denied access until they vetted me…fair enough, they need to do their due diligence and determine that I'm not sort of money launderer or escaped convict.

I supplied the following ID, as requested:

A valid Passport
A valid Driver's License (with current residence)
A photocopy of my Debit Card

A day or so later, I was then informed that that they photocopy of the bank card had to be destroyed as I needed to cloak the middle group of numbers ''for security reasons''…huh?

The whole email process was totally unsecure and you want me to…what? Send another copy of my Bank Card, this time scratching out the numbers? Fine…don't understand it…but will do that.

About a week later (by this time the US elections were well over) I received another communication informing me that the way I had cloaked the debit card number was unacceptable and that I had covered one too many digits…ok now this is getting to be a comedy…and THEN…a day or two later…another request…this time for a Utility bill!

OK, now! Now I've had just about enough of this!…2 weeks have gone by and we're still to-ing and fro-ing…and I am starting to get the idea that the intention of SKYBETS is to scam me out of £100.

Well, I suspect this review has gone on far too long for most people's tastes, but I will share one last bit of correspondence, with readers who have lasted this long.

The response of SKYBETS to my communication below…? was…''we are sorry for any inconvenience.''

This has ben going on for over a couple of weeks.

''I have supplied all of the information requested of me.
If you check the correspondence trail of our communications, you can verify this.

To keep supplying sensitive personal data to your organization over unsecured emails is, I am sure you will agree, pointless & irresponsible.

You have the right to verify my identification, you have also had ample opportunity to do this.

But you do not have the right to confiscate my money. You did not require identification to accept transfer of my money.

You shut this account down prior to verification, obviously you do not need any sort of license to option a customer’s money, make the process so difficult, unsafe and time consuming that in order to gain access to his money he must waste vast amounts of time and anguish.

By these actions and the offhand way they have been carried out, I do not trust your business to safeguard money, sensitive data or anything else, for that matter.''

The BOG is a swizz now. Out of 32 races today there are only actually 19 that are BOG. I think this could lose them customers. The virtuals appear crooked. Of course its random but ive done small bets on over 100 faves in perms and your lucky to have 4 or 5 winners.35%of faves normally win so there software seems way off. I understand its just bingo but other sites appear a better ratio. My account is up and I have withdrawn a £1000 and a £750 in last month and had the money within a week. I enjoy the site so I think its worth 3 stars. Just the BOG and virtuals that have griped me a bit.

Don’t touch take your money, with card but when you need to withdraw card doesn’t work

Used to be my go to site, but the decision to stop offering best odds guaranteed on extra places is a major show stopper for me, and I now choose to lose more of my money elsewhere.

Reply

After these shysters decided to remove their BOG for races where extra places are paid out, that was a game changer for me.
I only place bets on a win only basis, so the new policy places me at a disadvantage. I have had other negative experiences with this outfit so this new strategy is the straw that breaks the camels back.
There are plenty of other bookmakers who are more reputable than this lot so the app will be deleted and it’s time to move on.

Reply

The odds on the horse racing have started to seem lower than the odds on sky sports racing since they stopped BOG on extra place races. A horse that just came second went off at 9-2 and when resulted it was 6-1. You would only get the 9-2 on an extra place race

I’ve been banned from the promotions and free bet offers. I only bet casually small money maximum £25 a week to get the free £5 bet. A waste of time avoid. I had been with them for years. And that’s how they repay loyalty by banning me from promos.

Skybet suspended my account for reason that I do not know!!. Made many attempts through chat lines, e mail and provided all the documents that they sasked for but to no avail. My account is now suspended for 6 days (YES SIX!!!) and I am locked away from my money!!. Suggest you also tweet or facebook to shame the shameless Skybet.

Just announced that Biden won, just because CNN announced it, that’s not how it works… he’s not the president yet. That’s cheating!!! Also my account got suspended… for what?!?
Sky bet it’s a fraud as well!!!

So far so good, loads of great offers, one of my favourite bookies. No problems so far. fingers crossed it stays that way.

Amazing the amount of similar reviews, which I’d not previously read. I’ve had an account for around 20 years, used sparingly the last 5 years. Tuesday I deposited 200 for a patent extra places all 3 races. Had some cash left so played on slots, won 3k. Withdrew 2k. Within an hour got an email saying my account was suspended and I needed to provide the usual (which I would have done years earlier) sent all documents over promptly and still no response 5 days later. Surely this is theft??
