SkyBet Review

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 to say they are not fair with cash out. Don’t bet with them. I think it is the people that work there. Hate seeing people win. They get bonuses. Absolute cheat. Not a fair chance to win. CHEATS.

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!!

i would give them 0 if i could happy to take payments from my card as soon as i won and tried to withdraw winnings blocked account.
unable to talk with anybody beware!

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.

i got the itv7 up 118.90 guess what wouldnt pay you out added my info wouldnt except it and i got angry now my account suspended typical sky rip-off and robbing biostards they are SKY cant be trusted

Been playing for a few months get a call today to say they want my bank statements and provide them my income as I am down on my account so I went through it all and told them all information needed and they want my wage slips and stuff. I said I am not willing to sent private information and they said if I don’t they are closing my account so basically they took my money then closed my account. Be careful with them.

Do not play any slots or scratchcard games on any gambling sites they are all the same they will give you little wins to keep you playing and then take it all back. It does not matter how much the stake is or how much money you spend on any of the games. It is all false advertising to make you think you are going to win. You will never win the top prize. The companies say that the wins are all random and that it is possible for you to win the top prize but do not let that fool you because they are trained to speak to you a certain way.

I’ve been on this platform for more than 6 months now and I’ve won close to £62,000, and all payments were duly paid. I met a man on Instagram: fixed_albright , he gives 100% fixed and safe games and all his games are available for payment after winning. You all should try him out.

3 days now where skybet have cheated their way out of free daily spin. It don't take 3 days to update.

Absolute joke of a site!!! Made a deposit from bank for it not to go in my account. Been over 24 hours now and keep being told it’s a technical issue which will be resolved. No money back nothing. I would advise new customers to go to other betting sites as the customer service is a joke and they really don’t care about you. Also if you ever deposit your money and it doesn’t go in your account you will be spending a very very long time trying to get it back. I strongly recommend now people stay away from this site and use paddy power from a personal point of view.

Have to agree with the negative reviews given below. I have played casino games through a few sites, and by far Skybet has the worse payout and the bonus provided in the games is rarer than Haley’s comet.
Am giving up playing their site and using others.

There pay out percentage is a joke. 100 stake to get 8 quid back. I have used sky bet for years but now I'm literally going to virgin games so check it out people. I'm not saying this in spite. I just want people aware that there casino games are a scam. And there bonuses are shocking. Good bye skybet another customer lost to your greed.

Reply

They give you a free spin or whatever you win jack so they expect you to put money on after for it to just be rinsed from your balance… yeah alright… and I have mug written across my forehead? You think this sites gonna be giving money out in the middle of a pandemic people are daft 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I chatted with mark who got my account up and running . No probs . After some security questions and validation with i d checks . I got my account open . Great service .

Happily to take a couple of hundred quid of me but as soon as I got lucky on a couple of high odd horses and got up to £1000 instant suspension and cancelled my withdrawal, provided bank statements, selfies and Id but still suspended and keep saying they need more verification! Bunch of robbing 🤬 , I have reported them to the gambling commission but sky seem to be a rule to there own

I play 20p state on eye of Horus megaways !!! I put limit to £25 daily cause how bad they have became!! Every £25 played on eye of Horus megaways and once in weeks had a bonus which paid me 44p lol a bonus ?? It’s definitely skybet as I use another with no limit and very great site a lot of bonuses. It’s so bad now I literally write this as no longer care if they stop my account as £700 down at £25 a day limit (not playing everyday) and nothing at all. To play 20p state with £25 every single time and don’t get a game from it sometimes it’s not quite right is it!!! It’s on tight mode big time and generally a lot of #### now. Since the virus took advantage and greedy with it honestly if reading this before u open account, go somewhere else enjoy the experience and at least get a game not dead spin after dead spin. !!!

How can sky not class rashfords shot for the penalty against sevilla a shot on target. Needed 2 shots for boost and he also had a free kick on target.
Absolute joke

Terrible customers service. I send them my proof of address and id . And they dont want to accept that, i send letter from city council they declined that and ask for utility bill, i send thats to . Again declined that . From costumer senior manager: Seven trent no more provider but debts collectors.

Sky contacted me to ask if I would discuss with them my income sources to see if I could afford to gamble the way I was. I have been with them for years and it's never concerned them before. Nobody in their right mind would agree to this. So they have frozen my account and have effectively got rid of me. Appalling. I know it's hard to believe this, but it's absolutely true.

I am afraid if you still have open accounts with no restrictions with any bookmaker you have got a gambling problem and seek help immediately, because in the long run you will be losing money.

Skybet amongst others all hate customers gambling solely on the horses. I have been gambling on horses with them for about 8 months and have now had my account limited and BOG and other promotions stopped. I wonder why?

Call themselves bookmakers, they are all the same, if you are not doing your conkers on the online casino and games they are not interested.

Ok I have copy and pasted this with my bet365 review, but both companies have done the same thing to me.

Joke firm.

No problems with them. Everything seems to run smoothly. Never had to contact their support as the app has never let me down.

Used sky bet for several months, had a small win, withdrew some of the winnings. It took 7 days for those winings to find their way into my bank account. A week later tried to put some money into my account and sky bet told me there are on card details in my account. Find that strange as they paid money into my account. Something not right here. I've now put my details in and I'm in the process of closing my account.

Avoid avoid avoid. Don't pay out on clear winning bets. Use Paddy power or anyone else. They'll worm their way out of paying you. Apparently De Bruyne had no shots on target but according to opta who skybet use they're not counting them. They're making it up to get out of paying.

Terrible odds and then sneaky terms and conditions on certain races like no bet odds etc. I got banned from promotions after i had a £10 double win for £275 then from the weekly free £5 won £116. Then I was banned. Joke

Terrible site don't pay you out when you win, never use sky bet!!

Reply

This company will happily take your money but when paying out for valid winners they will find any which way to avoid paying out. If you can do anything, do not sign up to this betting company. You’re better off with more honest companies or just save your hard earned money instead

Great sports betting site. Most user friendly I've used and great free bet offers

If you win a few times on football, they will lower your favorite odds from 2.0 down to 1.2 or 1.3 which is not worth a bet then you end up building the multi bets with 3 games just to get that 2.0 odds. Also, those C@unts have completely removed my cashout option on all games. When I joined them they had cashout on all games even multi tickets with 6-9 games in one ticket. Now after a few wins, they lowered the odds to the minimum and removed my cashout fully. my phone or internet crashed a few times and made the same bet twice for no reason and no cashout was possible on a single game that starts in 5-6 hours. Thank you c@unts for cheating, there is a reserved spot waiting for you in hell!

Hi, I'm trying to reach them for a few days now, but 0 success. I made a bet at 2.626 odds, and they changed it in the middle of the game to 1.33, which is fraud. If someone from Skybet is reading this please contact me to resolve this.

Do not use this site, they are not honourable they withhold your winnings if you win big.

Dont bother with this site any issues you have withdrawing or even deposit is an issue. Customer service is the worst I have even spoke to. Deleting my account now.

Reply

Join at your own risk.. constantly hacked and customer services don’t give a 5h1t or know anything- clearly just read from a script or are computerised auto replies- completely useless

Reply

Have happily given this company money over the years, enjoyed my betting experience on the whole, however they have sneakily changed their best odds guaranteed to 9am same day. Didn’t really notice until I won!! No value now trying to place early morning bets..

Their live races don’t always work , if you punt on multiples you can’t see the race and it seems they are even shaving the odd price here and there .. has someone bought them? Under new management? Paddy Power all the way now

Skybet are criminal.My account was restricted as soon as I've had a small winning spell.They are abusing the KYC(know your customer) and using it to their advantage to close/stall my account.I received an email saying they will be contacting me to discuss my account(Ive had a few wins recently).When I was losing as betting through the cards they were happy.Now I have started to be sensible and bet a single then cash out it is flagging up I'm making profit which believe me I'm still well down for the last few years.I have been a mug customer for years.There are many companies to bet with who will not treat you like a criminal spending your hard earned cash.I actually thought Skybet were one of the fairer companies but upon reading this how wrong was I.They do not welcome winning accounts and will block them.It starts off with restricting bets on certain selections and the ones they don't are losers anyway.The bookmakers are obviously in cahoots with trainers/info.

Since Lockdown has eased in England the question must be asked, What has happened at Skybet? Best odds guaranteed on horses gone until 9am of the days racing, always used to be the day before, albeit with a little point shaving. Yesterday at York in the listed’ race best odds guaranteed wasn’t included!! Withdrew from my account on friday, early afternoon, and at time of writing this it’s still not in account. Even with the weekend this is unlike Skybet. Used to be overnight by 3 in both my accounts. Anybody else also noticed the decrease in the extra place races’ that were available, loved nicking fourth in low grade races that were already 1/5 odds each way. Must have got burned too many times. Two years ago I had Skybet number 1 by a mile. Now PADDYPOWER smashes you out the park I’m afraid to say. Thanks for the good times though Skybet.

Skybet are useless, customer service even worse, told me a match was finished and sent me a dodgy photo of it, checked it myself and it was abandoned, 😒

IN PLAY 2 MINUTES BEHIND same bet on 365 they perfect do your homework

Definitely one of the better bookmakers. I've been with them a few years now and no real problems at all. They have good markets , they do lots of enhanced places on horse racing – more than the others. They even refund or void bets as a goodwill gesture sometimes ie a horse was very late in leaving the stalls and had no chance. Withdrawal times are fast and Customer support has always been pleasant if I've had to contact them.

As a casual punter I've had occasion to use Sky Bet and the experience hasn't been wholly unpleasant. As long as you are losing everything is trouble free. As soon as you win a tenner your bets start getting held up until they can change your odds to something less favourable. This made me uneasy but to be fair I was able to withdraw the money from my account with no problems.
