I signed up for sportingbet on the 24/03/2024 and was immediately electronically verified and was allowed to deposit and play.Since then I have deposited around £750 playing slots. Yesterday I won £2000 and tried to withdraw my winnings. After almost 24 hours without payout I contacted support and was advised I needed to send documentation to verify my account. I sent the documents even though UK Gambling Commission rules state;"A gambling business can't ask you to prove your age and identity as a condition of withdrawing your money if they could have asked you at an earlier point. However, there may be occasions where a gambling business can only ask you for information at that time in order to fulfil legal obligations.If a gambling business needs more information before you can withdraw your funds, for example, for anti-money laundering checks, then they should ask promptly and not only when you want to withdraw your funds."After sending the requested documents, I received an email from sportingbet stating they have made a business decision to close my account and confiscate the balance quoting terms and conditions sections 14, 16 & 17. Having read these, I have not placed any fraudulent bets nor have I reached any other terms and conditions. Email after email, customer service chat after customer service chat and I'm getting automated repetitive responses or told to contact the email that is giving me the automated responses.

Bet placed 17 February taking odds offered under Best Odds Guaranteed promotion. Starting prices for two winning selections were better than BOG odds and return should have been circa £600. However bet was settled using shorter BOG odds and Sportingbet only paid out £410. Despite providing clear evidence BOG promotion rules applied they simply respond saying bet settlement is correct and give no explanation. My experience with this bookmaker was terrible and if I could have given them no stars I would have done. Avoid at all costs!

I made a 500 deposit, received an additional 400 bonus.. Placed a few bets n got it up to 1400, placed some more bets n got it back down to around 1000.. A few days later my account balance was zero.. I queried it with the live chat and got the following responses: Thank you for your patience, i regret to inform you that an amount of R R 602,57 plus R 400 was claimed back when your Bonus expired before you could complete your wagering... And: With regards to the above funds were claimed back when your Bonus expired, we will not be adding these funds back due to this action being inline with the terms of the bonus, to take this further you can contact the Western cape Gambling board. What a scam!

This is just a knock off version of coral and ladbrokes but 10times worse (if that's even possible). It really isn't worth signing upto all they want is your money they have no interest what so ever in letting you win. Closed my account after 1 day of it being open

Do not register with this company. They will limit your stakes to laugh at you after first won bet. Stay away. Nothing new here, another company of deceiving crooks.

This company is a scam. I placed 2 bets on springboks going to the finals. Was supposed to get paid 2850rand. Then when i checked my bet history the bet is gone and I cant even see lost or won. Than i went to transaction and it shows i won but than some bs was made up on expired bonus or some bs that took away the exact amount. Stay away people

Please understand that there is a reason for 1 star reviews!!!! This is the worst company i have ever placed a bet on! Username: costeacipri After winning a bet on over market, a odd of 2, nothing crazy, i have been voided, they stole my money, not giving me the profit but this is not all. They blocked my withdrawals and blocked my account(unable to login) with 330 pound on it. I have been 4 times with agents on the chat, they are saying a superior needs to solve this issue but nobody is helping, I have also emailed them and no response.Literality stealing your money in 2023, i cannot believe those companies are still on the market. STAY AWAY!! If you get lucky they won't pay you! Read not only this review but all the reviews and find another betting site. I WILL COME BACK WITH AN UPDATE!

Asked for verification as a condition of withdrawal. Already uploaded and still unwilling to payout. If anyone else is having issues with this you can contact the gambling commission and refer to section 17.1.1 which they are in breach of

I have no idea why Sportingbet has such low reviews I’m totally bemused! Mark my word! Ditch your likes of William Hill, Bet 365, Betway, Paddy Power etc! I wasn’t paid in anyway to write this review I’m just happy I found a Betting Company that make life simpler! I’ll rarely review a gambling app or Company due to my bad experiences and overall hassle from the likes of Coral, McBookie, Ladbrokes and a few other of the big boys!Let me tell you this company has exceeded my expectations! They verified simply with making me feel like an Airport interrogation search. The App is Slick, Modern and looks nice on the eye. It is slightly laggy and slower than others but I’d recommend trying them out.Also they use Fast Payouts and you get your funds within 1 hour at the most, you won’t emailed and asked for your Mothers, Mothers, Mothers birth location either. They stay true to there word and I’ll no where else from here on out.THANKS SPORTINGBET FOR SHOWING ME THERE STILLL IS GOOD BETTING COMPANIES OUT THERE!!

Deposited £250. Won £650.77. When the bet settled my account was suspended and they asked for verification. This was not accepted and I was then told Sportingbet would be keeping both my deposit and my winnings. Should have read other reviews before opening an account. Can't believe they are part of the Ladbrokes brand. Avoid I beg you.

Do not go onto this platform, I promise you, you will regret this!This platform has to be in the top 5 worst platforms ever.It takes absolutely ages for you to get a bonus, if you do, the game stuck.I lost about £3k before I realized what a joke this platform is, do not be like me.If you wanna place a bet on sports, it takes ages for it to load, so if you play live, you lose the opportunity of betting.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLATFORM!

I was a member for months of sporting bet. My account was never in profit until one day I had a reasonable win that made me £400 in profit.The moment this happened sporting bet froze my account and have refused to pay me my money.I have received over 63 apologies and 20 different promises that the money was sent, they even supplied me with a false banking transaction number.At one point I was even threatened by an advisor called Viktor and had my bank details embezzled using my funds as bribery.This has been going on along time now.What ever you do don't deposit with these criminals.

I wish I had read these before I opened an account, dont even open an account. 3 bets, 1 winner, broke even and now they want every statement in the world for me to withdraw my money. They have limited my account to 60p stakes to boot.Surprised they haven't asked for my nans bank statements from 1942

Opened an account, I was fully verified through agecheck.com and told I could deposit/withdraw freely. Deposited £200 and won £1100 over 4 hours of play. Withdrew the money and sent DL and utility bill. I was then told that I had previously had an excluded gala bingo account and my withdrawal was not valid, what is that about!? I staked £200 fairly, no bonus, just risk of my own funds, if I lost this then nothing would of ever been said. The only fair thing to do would be pay me what is rightfully mine, you verified my account and sent it to me in writing, then after withdrawal process spotted a 'problem'. I have just paid the £80 to take this to small claims court and if I don't receive payment within 1-3 working days I will take it to the newspaper and social media.

Would rate 0 if you could created the account Saturday let me place bets play slots etc Sunday morning I placed all my bets for the Sunday football matches then received a message to send proof of identity which I sent over 30 minutes after requested then told it takes 72 hours to review this couldn’t access my account to check the bets or anything live chat does answer only way to contact them is through twitter which is around a 2 hour wait for a response , it’s now Tuesday still can’t access the account and just saw they have now self excluded my account until 2027 I have free bets and money on the account they are not willing to speak to me about with no reason why this has been done please please stay away so many better bookies out there for example bet365 Ladbrokes William hill don’t make the same mistake as me !!!!!

Terrible company. Under the LC Brand and like the others they have closed my account without giving a reason. but what’s worse if they are withholding my money and despite sending the ID they requested are now saying I withdrew more than I deposited overall. That’s meant to be the point of placing bets! I am disgusted and this should not be allowed. I will be going with this all the way to the Gambling Commission if I don’t get my money back. Avoid this company like the plague and do not trust your money in an account with them as would not want anyone else to go through this.

Simple: avoid it at all cost.Followed the process to verify my account with all the documentation needed, but my withdrawal requests are not being processed. Not only that are not giving a proper explanation, the support does not exist:- email them 4 days and 1 day ago, with no reply at all- chat support gives contradictory inform, and no respect to timelines they mentioned. E.g. They said I would receive a follow up by email in 24 hours, and nothing; an agent tell me the withdrawals were processed, and then proceeds to tell me right after they are not.I am in contact with the gambling commission from my country. So please, read the reviews and avoid them like plague.

Worst gambling website, I had a treble and they all won, the last race they reverse the placing as an amendment result and they didn't pay me. The only one who doesn't pay first past the post. I contact the costumer service to find out why everyone else pays first past but not them and they were so unprofessional and useless. Absolutely gutted! Avoid them at all costs!

Appalling customer service. Let me register, deposit and bet then when I woke it it said account suspended. Asked for address proof which I sent three times. Now the account is locked and won’t let me log in. I have over £300 sat there and nobody will let me withdraw. It’s a scam.

AVOIDI opened an account this morning with £50.I tried placing my 1st bet with a £10 accumulator, but it wouldn't accept my bet. Tried another bet, same result.After 15 minutes trying to access Live Chat, explained what had happened and asked for my account to be closed.Advisor said she'd look into it.She has closed my account, but has not completed the task of giving me my £50 back.It has been passed to "the Risk Team"I have no faith that SportingBet will get back to me based on my short experience with them.I don't see why I'm a risk to have my own money back.Avoid SportingBet as ghetve just wasted 45 minutes of my life and so far keeping my deposit of £50.Don't be lured in by them.Now they're asking for photo ID.Suspicious of that to add to incompetence

Avoid ANY Casino owned by the Ladbrokes & Coral Group, Trust me I've tried them all and I can ?% Confirm that every Spin and Bonus payout is Scripted. They give you a small win of around 250x early on but after that EVERYTHING dries up completely. And if you do manage to make a small withdrawal, NEVER EVER EVER go back there. Save yourself time and stress and go with a better unscripted Casino. Coral & Ladbrokes have overtaken William Hill as the worst in my opinion. In fact I hit a 2000x win on William Hill just the other day, much to my total shock. Try Bet365 or Slotnite also as I hit a 4400x on Bet365 and a 3000x on Slotnite. I am going to upload all the Video evidence I have on the Ladbrokes & Coral group to my YouTube channel asap so you will all see what I mean by scripted.

Absolutely atrocious - currently been on the phone and chat for over 1 hour waiting for incompetent people to redeem the rewards that I have wagered against - like talking to a brick wall. What is the point of sending promotions if you don't honour them and your staff can't see visibility of even when it's been sent via email and via my sportingbet message account? I have invested about £120 in getting these £30 rewards! SCAM - do not trust anything that comes from these guys!
