Skybets boosts never win

Skybets boosts never win, they always seem to lose by 1, which indicates to me that they are fixed and they know exactly what's going to happen. Thieves, I'm sticking with bet365 now, because I'm tired of the rubbish. It's crazy how a player can get 1 shot on target in the first 45mins, then not do anything for 45mins being the teams main striker for the next shot on target. Clearly you have these scams planned out.

I have created an account last week

I have created an account last week. Sent all the documents, and as normal, they said that it was all ok to play.
After a big win, (bet 200 and won 1200), my account was suddenly suspended and they are saying that they will investigate it for up to 2 weeks.
It is quite frustrating, because my funds will be there locked all of this time.
SkyBet need to improve on this. How can they approve your ID and docs, and on the next day, suspend your account, because they need to verify you again? Why they don't do a stronger verification process in a way that they don't need to do more verifications after?

Sky bet is an absolute rip off and…

Sky bet is an absolute rip off and everything wrong with gambling industry. I have had two bets in the last month where they have suspended my bet. Once because their system had an issue when my bet would have won. Second time because a match was postponed. I understand this is beyond their control but they don’t even offer you your stake money back as a gesture of good will. Really rubbish

Scammed

Scammed. Put a bet on for Manchester united to win v Liverpool in the FA cup.
Manchester United won.
Sky bet didn't pay out as the claim bets only payable for 90 minutes.
When I placed the bet on a win there was no information made available about this apparent rule.
Scam. Once bet account is empty they can do one.

WORSE BETTING SITE - DO NOT USE!

Both myself and my partner use Sky Bet to play Super6 but today my partners account was suspended and closed permanently, without a single explanation as to why. My account was also suspended and closed a while back, with an open bet, and they were just going to take the money I had placed. After about 5 sessions on Live Chat, I managed to get mine re-opened but still constantly locked out and having to change my PIN.

Do yourselves a favour and DO NOT BOTHER OPENING AN ACCOUNT with these crooks. I would also suggest if you already have an account with them, close it before they do!!

robbers

Absolute robbers. Do not bet on this site. Placed a bet on Mullins to have 9 or more winners at Cheltenham and they changed the bet on the receipt to say over 9 winners. I have proof of this and will be taking it further. Don't waste your money on this site!!!

Worst odds by far

Worst odds by far, and they are happy to take thousands of pounds off you, but as soon as you win a large amount they suddenly need a DNA test to confirm your identity.

Worst customer service Ive used…

Worst customer service I've ever had to deal with. Spent over 30mins trying to get my account back to then be told to wait another 2-3 mins which took almost 15 mins for them to close the Chat on me anyway.

Use Bet365 if you can, honestly 10x better then these. Not that any bookies are Good but none as bad as Sky.

SKYBET MAKING BETTING WORSE FOR YOU BETTER FOR THEM! DONT BE A MUG PUNTER!

And ill be having my fiver on for the moneyback as cash and if i win withdrawing the winnings to get better value elswhere and if i dont use the fiver cashback for the rest of the meeting and withdrawing that too! So basically skybet wont get a penny out me! Poor prices poor value poor promotions!!

Shocking company. Spend £30 and I received 50 free spins on Fishin frenzy.

They asked me to change my pin for security reasons which I did. Then wouldn’t let me login with my new details. The chat wasn’t very helpful. I lost money because I wanted to cash out on an accumulator , but they didn’t want to know. I won’t be using this site again

I've been with Skybet for around 10+ years, great to begin with, get you in with good promotions, over the last 3 - 4 years this has changed and not for the better. promotions are rubbish now compared to other sites, they change their rules without advising anyone , so now i have closed my account, i can see a lot of people following also.

The worst major bookmaker in the UK

The worst major bookmaker in the UK and it isn't even close. No customer service, restrict you the moment you win, happy to let you lose hundreds but winning hundreds is forbidden and will result in an account closure. It is a bizarre downfall as they were genuinely one of the best around 5 years ago.

I would give 0 stars but can not on…

I would give 0 stars but can not on here. I had a self exclusion in place as years ago i never had a bet on line, I used my local bookie Ladbrookes. How ever I was able to registar with skybet for the free ITV 7 bet. So actually putting money on a horse i,d never done with sky bet. I used Paddy Power for myself, and Betfair with myself and one other. the betfair was used only for an E/W L15 with me and one other on saturdays TV racing, and I used the PP for myself, this was usually only about £6 on a saturday. I had an iffy fit with a free bet issue with Betfair so closed the account, and went to sign up with Skybet. I checked on what they needed I up loaded photo ID, Driving licence, and for proof of address they wanted something like utility bill, bank statement etc, so for that I uploaded letter from Nationwide, just the heading with my name and address on and the date letter was sent (Feb this year) they said it should take about 5 hours to verify, but maybe 12hrs if they are busy, I waited over 24 hrs so went on their chat line and they were most unhelpful. so I rang the relevant number and explained all to the guy that answered, he said he will email me and if I attached the relevant docs to the email he will make sur they go straight to the relevant team, so this I did. so I had sent docs via email uploaded both docs twice on their web site, then last night I received an email saying "We have closed you account" sorry for inconvienence. No explanation or nothing. sadly this had also blocked me from Betfair and PP, as they are under the same umberalla. So I was back on the chat with both Betfair and PP I admitted that I closed Betfair in an iffy fit, they were very good and understanding, and set about reopening my account then I was told that a self exclusion had been applied, I stated I had not done this and explained what had happened, the lady helping me was very understanding, and got things hopefully sorted, but because of this self exclusion I now have to wait "24 hour cooling off period" so will try to log back in tonight around 7pm when cooling off period ends. The above scenario was the same for PP, their chat line people were also very helpful and understanding. But for both I had to give annual income and accept a monthly limit for 6 months all because I just tried to join skybet. I only spend about £5/6 a week on a saturday to watch tv racing. I am a senior citizen that has always had a little flutter on a saturday. I just can not understand why skybet did this, no explanation or nothing, their was nothing offensive in any phone calls, or chat, so just to be told we are closing you account even stopping me doing the free ITV 7. Like I
said Id never had a bet with them using a betting app all I did was apply to join. WHAT AN AWFUL COMPANY, AS OTHER HAVE SAID PLEASE STAY AWAY IF YOU USE ANY OTHER COMPANY UNDER THE SAME UMBERELLA.

go woke go broke

this company has now gone too far. Delving into people's public finances. Gambling has been around since time began, 99% of people gambling for fun. Now because skybet has gone woke they have spoiled a hobby people have had for a lifetime. Who is in charge of these organisations? Stop treating us like children.
