SkyBet Review

Have caused nothing but stress. I signed up for an account. 2 days later I deposited my funds via debit card. After 10 mins without even doing anything Sky bet suspended my account. I was requested to send in ID. Bank statement. Passport. Credit card statement. All this has been done. I have asked for my funds back whilst this is being addressed. Still no response. I am disgusted by this way of operating. I have requested my money back as I have little confidence in them going forward. Still no reply. Stay away from this company at all costs

Joke of a company – AVOID!

Signed up and deposit a substantial sum of money to have my account instantly suspended and documents requested.

Fair enough requesting documents I thought but they took a week to review the documents and refused to deposit my money back to the original payment method.

Eventually sorted and withdrew straight away – AVOID!

Been using skybet for years on July 5th i attempted a £230 withdrawal got server 500 error did not process to bank but was still taken off my balance they admitted they had issues with withdrawals from 430 to 530 that day but inspite of this have still not released funds even though my bank nationwide have confirmed there are no payments pending from skybet and all transfers to nationwide go in via faster transfer in 2 hours. A complete disgrace

I have used SkyBet's sports book for years. The issue I have had is with a bet on a tennis overs market. The same totals markets that are offered on tennis normally were displayed on this match. The format of the match however was a very abnormal format that is never used in the regular season. Normally it is best of three sets. This was best of three but a tiebreak is played as the third if both players win a normal set. In this case, my selection would have won in the normal format that is used all year, as both players won a set and a third set would have been played for my total. In this unusual format, the total went under as the third set isn't played to it's full games potential. There was absolutely NO clarification on the match listings that this very unusual format of tennis was being played, yet they still were offering the exact same total markets that are used in the regular format of tennis. This is very poor on their part, as they should take some responsibility of at least making customers aware of changes to sports formats, particularly ones that almost never happen. Failing this, they could have, at the very least, lowered the totals they allowed us to wager on, but used the regular totals they display in full best of three tennis. I most certainly would have NEVER bet on this market if I had known this, and when I expressed this to customer support, their trading team essentially admitted that they werent making customers aware of this significant change to the format on the listings, and I was offered no help or consolement on the issue that cost me a lot of money. While this is not exactly a scam, its hardly short of that. Very bad practices on their part that allow customers to lose out under unjust circumstances. Disappointed as a loyal customer.

I’ve used skybet for years. Just had a £41 win . Waiting on my winnings clearing I saw I had a placed bet and then another and another. Basically 3 Bet’s totalling £81 which I hadn’t placed. Online chat guy saying fraud team won’t speak with me because the bets were placed from the same IP address? Not a chance. So they closed my account and told me to contact police. They’ve taken 2x £20 out my bank and my £41 winnings then just lock me out. Absolute disgusting

The funds will be withdrawn to the card on the account, I am sorry to hear that Leslie but no funds will be refunded due to this, the account would of been suspended regardless of the funds.

They don't even entice you with a fair chance! The roulette is tacky and basically downright awful. If you don't believe me, waste your money with these mugs.

Sky bet stole my money.
User=Everton2021
Through some link they have with a poker account, they did not have years ago, but years ago I excluded from this poker account, they since joined with it, now in retrospect, they froze me and stole my money.

Small claims court next. Thieving bar stewards.

Don't touch them, they will twist everything in their favour, even when things look absolutely a mistake.
They are a disgrace.
See you in court THIEVES!!!!!

If I could give ZERO I would.

Sky Bet robbed me of £2000 a few years back. Uncaring company and now I'm on GAMSTOP. GAMSTOP was a great decision.

THIS WEBSITE IS A CON. They have kepted my balance for over 5 and half years. I am permanently self excluded. They make a permanently self excluded member ring them after he stopped gambling i have emailed and rang them so many times but they stolen my balance.

I been asking for my balance from the start. I quit gambling after the shocking experience here. They stole my balance and never resolved it. They made a problem gambler who quit to keep coming back to them to ask for balance this is against responsible gambling. It does seem fair that they got fined for keep self excluded members money but they did it to me before this and ukgc should investigate everything.

My second point is a self excluded. After my terms was nearly up i went on live chat to open my account during the process the chat disconnected. They should have suspended my account until they could confirm that the process was complete. I went on to chat and the agent agreed that they would suspended the account until all protocol where followed i have screenshot s7of this.

I will post the court date here. If anyone has had any experience please

My account was hacked and someone managed to deposit £50 into my account from my card details.
They then placed a £60 bet, which is totally against my betting habits.
When trying to claim this back, it took four live chat sessions over two days to be told in the 3rd that the fraud team tried to refund my card. However, I had 'frozen' my card pending the outcome. This 3rd session was ended by their agent prematurely not giving me time to respond.
On the 4th chat session I was told that the fraud team had decided that they weren't going to refund my money and refused to re-instate my account and I was to 'respect their decision'.

So much for customer care or service – I'm the victim but take the pain!

Feeling somewhat aggrieved and ripped-off.

I will 'respect their decision', just as long as they respect my decision to change my entertainment supplier – bye bye Sky!!

Had a Sky bet account for a few years now. My favourite bookie, never a problem with payouts on winnings. Only bet on sports, would never touch the casino stuff, but that's a personal choice. Even gave customers a free bet when a horse didn't come out of the stalls, and when he did junp he was already 10 lengths or more adrift. Not many would do that. I garuntee all the moans on here are people not reading terns and conditions properly. Top bookmaker.

I have been with a sky a while now, I find most customer service rude, I have on few occasions now been wrongly paid via offers , you try to speak to these people half the time they don't know what offer, a few times I have had in play 10 percent of the winnings up to £50 in a week I have 2 of these football and general 10 percent of in play, you speak to customer service they just say we go on spread sheet but common sense say you get 10 perce in play back you get that , ok cash out and games not started don't count but as most people know to start in play get 10 percent if win example last wee I won £343.10p in a week not including stakes on in play part only I received 5.71 now to knowledge that's £34..03p I should have got not to mention no money back slot now for the 1o percent offer on football, now I do find you speak to staff it's more or less tough don't like don't play ,not the best attitude in the world , now I'm sure theres some nice customer service operators, but this is my review and would be curious to see if it's just me not receiving proper in play money back

Excellent service, always keep to their terms and side of the deal, NEVER a problem with payouts on promotions and bonuses unlike some other sites, good offers, free games and easy to use site.

Dirty thieving scumbags. Don’t use! Never pay winnings out and they steal your money. Scott from the fraud team is a complete and utter c**t who thinks fraud on your card is perfectly ok.

Bad customer service. Not helpful what so ever. Suspended my account and even after proof of documentation they still wouldn't sort anything. Spend my money elsewhere

Reply

Very poor customer service. I had a genuine query and was fed a standard response by their chat operators. I questioned the fact and in response they suspended my account because my wifes debit card was being used. A card that I had been using for months without them complaining. Beware of this company they are vindictive and fail to look into genuing querys

Same as another reviewer! Cant win nothing on slots etc for about the last 10 weeks( since lockdown) definitely been switched to tight mode! Other sites more generous👍 something very dodgy going on at sky bet?

decent application and good promotions…5 free after 5 free bets, although incredibly annoyed that you have to keep opting in! Also they're player is useless, I often place bets on live football but can never see the matches..They provide basic help scripts to troubleshoot. Been a member for 5 years and never worked on an system, PC, Phone or tablet..

Was ok ,on start-up of Sky bet app turns my off.errrm useless it is.unbelievable Jeff.

I played live casino for about 4 hours, worked my way up to about £130. When It then said your bet wasnt placed, I repeated process about 5times, still same message. I signed out of account then back in to see if that resolved my problem. Upon signing back in my account was at £1.50. When I complained I was basically called a liar.
Sky are a criminal organisation

Sky bet is a total rip off .all it does is take your money never ever pays out any win for instance it will take 200 pounds and give you a total return of 10 pounds if your very lucky

Reply

Found the slots to be total theft, you have no chance to win at all. Bonus games when they do happen, pay out less than the cost of the spin.
Worst online gaming experience I've ever had. In my opinion they should be charged with fraud.

Reply

Would give 0 stars if i could, no such thing as a win on sky, you just get rinsed for every penny you put in. Daylight robbery. The tables especially the virtual roulette are extremely rigged against you. Bunch of scamming hooligans and thats put nicely. It loves to give you a run of 14 blacks when you put red everytime but never gives you the same runs in your favour. Deleted the app and removed my card details. Will be advising people to stay away.

Went on sky bet to discuss why I havnt been paid out for one of my bets. They informed me there were no knock downs in the fight, however on video it shows both fighters going down after being hit, which is the definition of a knockdown.

My chat cut off to where I had to reconnect with someone else. While on this chat I said the wrong maiden name due to personal circumstances, my mother has multiple that are spelt differently.

Rather than understand that people may have there own personal issues for things, he stated that you can only have one maiden name. Which clearly isnt true in my circumstance. Refused to ask me another question and went straight to asking for my ID.

I asked to speak to a manager where he told me they do not deal with chats. Then he (Adam) told me I can if I send him my ID.

So the chat advisor lied to me by saying i couldn't speak to a manager but then i could if i sent my ID? I no longer trusted this advisor with that level of personal information and required he put me through to a manager and I assured him it was not about my personal information, but to simply complain about the service I have had.

Instead he continues to tell me I need to send my ID, which I wasnt because I didnt trust the individual and then he just ended chat suddenly.

He had no right to end the chat, and I DO NOT have to send a picture of my ID to speak to a manager. If I do, please show me in your terms and conditions where it says that.

Ridiculous wait times, being told I'm a liar, being lied to, having my chat suddenly ended and not being paid £110 for a bet I clearly won.

I will never be using sky bet again, I have been a customer for about 10 years. Now I am never ever using, advise everyone else avoids them.

Do not pay you out for your bet, and also treat their customers terribly.

100% MUST AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
