The only thing Skybet does better over…
The only thing Skybet does better over some companies is it gives you better "actual odds" than most. As for the negatives, there's lots. Doesn't give you an easy to follow bet history unless you want to aimlessly scroll for minutes to find a 2 week old bet.... Only extensive match options is football, as for the rest like tennis.... Lists sometimes one tenth of the matches of Bet365. Most importantly i placed a bet, won, gave me half the winnings that it should have. Attempting to find out where the rest has gone, good luck trying to get a live agent. Clicked through 4 pages before i found somewhere you could type a request for help. Typed in full what the problem was. Took me through to another page no closer other than patronising self help advice but wiped everything i typed. Typed "live agent" nothing, refreshed "live chat" refreshed, "chat help" clicked through 5-6 more pages before i repeatedly knew clicking on or requesting the live chat graphic lead me no closer to chatting to a bot, never mind a human!! End result, i'm owed money and no way of getting it. Bet365 has a lot of error faults, littered with them but they're very reliable and it's been my go to company for 17 years. Go with them instead.
Edit, it's now the dreaded rule 4... Got told it's "because a horse was withdrawn all the other horses have a better chance of winning". Maybe so but a 19 horse race, where the favourite was still running and many other short odds horses and now my winnings were knocked down by a third. Disgraceful. When i eventually found the live chat, i wanted didn't even have the chance to reply in a mini kind of appeal, but midway through typing, midway through the live agent chatting, the chat gets knocked onto "post chat" no way of screenshotting the chat or talking to the agent, no way of backing up, just a blank screen. Getting wound up the more i look into this.

Had a sky bet account for years and now because I had self excluded myself from another site years ago which has now merged with sky bet I am now unable to use sky bet again
Unscrupulous Bookies
Had account for 14 months, I don't bet on horses or football that much, only if there is a free bet up for grabs, but 'spend' a lot more on the casino side. Over the last year I am up on the sports side by around £1800, got a bit lucky a couple of times, but only bet when there is a freebie of some sort attached. On the casino/slots side I am £2800 down, so overall they have made £1000 from me in 12 months, not a great amount but still profit for Sky. So what does the nice bookmaker do, they ban me from all promotions and restrict my stakes on all bets on all sports but allow me to have promotions on the casino side! That just shows how unscrupulous these bookies are, I know they are a business but they ban you from one thing because you won a bit and not from another thing because you lost a bit. Well Sky, my casino betting will be done elsewhere now.

A shambles, had bets on the Open, finished over four hours ago, refreshed my account page many times, still no funds paid into my account, what’s going? Always always delays in payments, they scam enough with sky sports channels, now this.
Awful customer service

False advertising...
I had used sky bet for years and mainly availed of their promotions as the standard odds they offer are always worse than Bet365 and other companies. I had placed a bet on 'money back of your horse is second' and in this case my horse did come second but no refund. I had to contact them to find out why and apparently these has been an exclusion places on my account that I wasn't aware of as they had not informed me.. they now say that the money will not be refunded and without promotions there is absolutely no reason why anyone should use these cowboys. I cannot think of a reason why I should be excluded bar the fact that I'm up over 400 quid for the year in profit and they maybe don't like that. If you fancy a bet online stay away from this shambles of an outfit.

SHOCKING & DISGRACEFUL
SHOCKING & DISGRACEFUL, their odds on golf are so bad, final major of 2022 in the open championship and because they go 11 places each way they think they can offer 33-1 when others are offering 100-1.. many of betfairs odds who are giving 12 places each way are better than skybets, its shameful.. do not bet with these people and please read all reviews.. i have just opened a betfair account as at least i am getting an extra place and better odds on some golfers.
Their promotions are so so bad too, bad customer service all in all i would rate 0 out of 10

They verify you before you are allowed to play and pay out immediately. Avoid 99% of the rest.

I won 20p and the next thing I know is they e banned me from all promotions. When I complained I was basically told tough, we can do whatever we want. Clearly I don’t ‘lose’ enough so they don’t want me.
