The decision by Skybet to reduce the Best Odds Guarantee by offering extra 'places' is a thinly veiled money saving exercise. Extra places will earn me nothing on my bets. Getting coppers on a place double on a lucky 15 or yankee bet has zero appeal. It's pathetic, 99.99999 people will win less.

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 green_tipp 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.

Been with sky bet for a few years, and never ever had a problem with deposits verification, withdrawals free bets etc. I think most of the complaints on here is people don't bother to read T and C's properly. HOWEVER, they were my favourite bookmaker. Until. They changed the BOG on extra place races. I understand BOG is not a punters right, but I would rather take my chances of a reduced minimum field size, than miss out on a drift. Can't understand that decision, and I'm sure it will affect turnover. Surely less extra place races would have been a better alternative. Anyway, will be taking my punting elsewhere. A real shame.

I have been their customer 14 years and received free £5 bet per week if I bet £25. This was until early October when they emailed and told me I was no longer eligible (like Christopher 18/10/2020). I also noted I was now excluded from their other privileges like money back as cash if 2nd/3rd place and the like. When I asked them why they wouldn’t tell me. I told them this just sums up the lopsided relationship they have with their customers. I’ll never use them again.

I was lied to by their customer support operator Richard K, who refused to cancel a bet even though it met all 3 criteria stated in their T's and C's, because.. wait for it...."he couldn't be bothered to contact a senior manager on a Sunday"...wow.

On Sunday I put enough money into Vegas wich is £10 or however much I put in but £10 is what you need to get the megaprze machine wich I didn't get till today so that's complaint 1 complaint 2 is I got a measly 10 pence from the megamachine wich considering I even put more then £10 in is a complete rip off in my opinion they will more then likley say we can't control what happens with the machine but I'm pretty convinced it's fixed plus I'm only getting 10p most of the time on prize machine when I used to get things like 5 free spins or sometimes I'd get a win of £7 on slots of gold I really do believe they have set this up so your winning very little on the prize machine absolute rip off

Promotion glitched and stopped me receiving my reward BUT the customer service was EXTREMELY helpful and has actually left me happier than if the promotion worked they were quick and happy to help , want to specially mention (incase anyone from sky bet reads this) “Christopher C“ from your live chat team was very helpful and is a large part of why I still bet with you. , only not 5 star because of the original glitch.

I placed a £10 bet on over 18.5 corners in a game and they changed it to under 18.5 it ended with 20 in the match.. same with over 10.5 in another match they change that aswell.. and I placed £20 on over 2.5 goals on the 87min on a match the match ended 2-1they changed that to under 2.5..... overall I should be up about £370. Customer support didn't want to help so cashed out what I had in my account and I will never use skybet again 🤬🤬

Terrible company they don’t look after customers give you no decent free bets they keep throwing there 5 pound free bet every week at you as an excuse absolutely useless and don’t want to give you anything a lot better companies out there use 888 sport inter 50 free cash yes cash not free bet each week. Avoid skybet they give you nothing amd staff are unhelpful and they just don’t care.

Don't trust these con artists, if you have an accumulator on and have so many winning I guarantee at least one of your next up and coming games will end up as an in play event so you have no chance of cashing out, how do I know, because they have done it to me on every acc I have put on, I will no longer use sky bet. Only gave 1 star because had to to write this review otherwise I would have given no stars, big company like this so desperate to rip you off, and they bang on about how good their cash out is, I smell something which begins with bull, use someone else if you actually want a chance of cashing out, be warned!!....

Today received email from this company saying they were restricting my bets, withdrawing all promotions and not offering best price guarantee. I can only assume that winning and qualifying for £5 free bet after amassing £25 weekly stakes is not to their liking. Bet elsewhere

Absolutely amateur. I notice 2 of my bets were not best odds guaranteed as advertised missing out on £100 approx. When I messaged them they conveniently sent me an automated message saying they were monitoring my account and no longer entitled to BOG. Closing my account and sticking with a reputable bookmaker

I'm not happy I placed a bet on darts Ross Smith to beat nick Kenny then I deposited £10 I then looked at my balance it said £2.66 so I asked sky bet through Facebook why this is they said they settled my bet wrong they settled it as won when it lost and that's why they deducted £7.34 why not just take away what I'd won instead of securing what I'd just deposited I believe it was purpselly done so they can take more money from medoes this seem right to anyone else ?

If you take advantage of their promotions they will very quickly restrict your account - even if you have been losing overall. Happened to me and several of my friends. Disgraceful company, only want mug punters - should have their license withdrawn.

Reported a fault on there system. They ask me for all 4 bits of my info to talk to me. I said not giving you all 4 will give you bits like a bank would. And will never ask for all your details for security. So I say will not bother telling about the fault on your system then. So they then suspend my account with my money in it. Can’t get my money out and leave them until I send my I’d in. They will then be have more info on me. ID theft will happen next as they don’t have correct procedures. All to spend money with them. DO NOT JOIN.

The latest scam from Skybet is hilarious. I had an 8 fold accumulator where all the bets were winning so tried to cash out early. As I tried to cash out one of the bets on the accumulator mysteriously showed as a loser and when I checked the game was still running (had 42 minutes to go) so there was a blatant "mistake". Whilst they held the bet in suspension AGAIN one of the matches turned and my £652 cash out turned to Zero again. It is the latest in a long line of Skybet Scams.

Not trustworthy.....if you dare to win they will remove promotions and restrict your stakes. Better off using a reputable site like Bet 365 or other big names.

Yet again ripped off on cash out. I do not give a damn when they give there excuses the plain and simple fact is if sky (rip off) bet have a game on there crooked site then it should be eligible for cash out. I had 8 fold BTTS and 1 game after they robbed my stake money with no indication before that one of the games was not eligible. Anyway the so called non cash out game by 60 mins was already won so that should have removed the suspended rubbish for rest of slip. But what do you expect with any LEFTIST company that employs kay burley

Absolute disgrace, taking money from my account that wasn’t even placed in a bet, the odds on games have changed really badly, covid must be affecting sky so that’s why these leeches are not giving fair odds. A shot that hits the crossbar or post isn’t classed as a shot on target, well can someone explain what it is then, as post or crossbar is surely part of the goal. Disgraceful and won’t be using them again and advise others to use a different betting site

After 3+ years of having a sky bet account and no issues apart from the odd slots game not playing a bonus round, so yesterday had an email asking why I had a couple of deposits declined ( was an old card that had last 4 numbers same as an expired one ) told them in the reply email , 20 mins later whilst making some bets they suspended my account with no reason . Many attempts at contact with waiting from position 19 in queue and having been cut off, finally got through and they need my ID all over again ! Money in my sky account but not able to access it ! Terrible customer service!

So creating an account with skybet needs 8 pieces of information. Name, address, dob,Email, phone number, bank card details, then to 'verify' you need to give them passport, driving license or a utility bill, WOW that's almost all your personal data to create an account, this is a betting app not a mortgage application, I don't trust any company that requires that amount of personal information, where does it get stored? is it safe? I don't know, they don't say. I look to have my account deleted but there is no option for this on their website just the contact Us page after you go thru the menu that's not helpful

I have been into sports betting for years, I lost so much money initially when I started until a friend introduced to a guy called Mightytips5 on Instagram who changed my life, he showed me that tips could be 100% accurate always and fixed matches could exist! I have made over 1 million dollars with him and still counting, I couldn't have said this year, but I just wanna help some who wanna win

Same as Faye. Deposited money on Friday night. Said server error and did not update my balance. I could see from my bank account that the money was pending. Spoke to Skybet on 3 occasions over the next 12 hours, after all 3 doubting my integrity and having to prove it another way after being lied to about banking practices, the third person could notapologise enough. Gave me the following assurances: - Security team looking into it and will contact me shortly. The money whilst pending will NOT be taken He would contact me shortly and let me know what is happening. I did not hear anything and raised a complaint. The response advised I would hear something in 72 hours. 72 hours passed.....nothing so contacted the again. Went around in circles the usual rubbish spouted that I have got it wrong, eventually the penny dropped and told me it is a known issue, can't say anymore and could not give me a timescale. Guess what the money has been taken from my account and I have nothing to show for it! I have been with them for years, but they have now lost a customer. What is really annoying, is there is nothing put up anywhere by them to advise of the current issues to allow people to make their own minds up if they deposit or not. Sham company.

Despite having money in my account and having used Sky for years they locked my account and prevented me placing a winning bet. Scummy response and company, refused to honour the bet despite taking ages to verify my account. Avoid like the plague.

Yep agree with all the other negative reviews. Would you believe they settled 5 of my bets completely wrong yesterday. They decided to 'void' a winning bet that would of paid 250/1 and gave me small payouts on 4 bets that clearly lost. Comical!! Upon contacting them through live chat they said they were completely right but as a gesture of goodwill will they would give me ten quid. I have absolutely no confidence in having a sensible bet with them if they can't settle 5 bets properly. Shall be taking my business elsewhere. Be wary everyone!!

Please people stay away from this lot they are an absolute joke of a company They point blank lie During the premier league darts they put a bet up of over 14,5 legs and it was staked at 100-1 as me and my mates where a bit bored we whacked on a fiver but as the darts started I thought hang on the match is best of 14 So that means it’s impossible to be over 14.5 now I don’t mean impossible as 100-1 I mean impossible This was a league game so it could not go the distance!! After realising I contacted sky bet and well this is where they show what they Really are liars They kept disconnecting me from the chat eventually I got through and they told me that the supervisor in charge has said it was a legit bet and could go the distance I sent proof that it couldn’t and there response was yes it can Now what makes it more interesting is that all the other darts matches after had no such bet I took it further and got an email saying they where wrong and gave me ten pins credit Now would they have said anything if I didn’t notice no chance!!!!!!!!

These guys are crooks of the highest order. Took my money when I try to withdraw they wanted to verify and suspended my account. Even after a week of providing documents the account is suspended .(when website says 72 hours for verification). Customer service are useless and they say we don't know how much time it will take...Stay away...Dont know how this business is allowed to run as this theme seems consistent.

Request a Bet and wait ...... and wait ....... and wait ...... see/hear nothing, Request a Bet on different day same outcome of no reply. They're only interested in muggy long shot requests. Customer services are painfully slow and clueless. Getting rid of Best Odds Guaranteed is another reason why i'll be taking my business elsewhere.
