Great Customer service

I had issues withdrawing and could not receive my profits, I went to customer service and Simon helped me get it all sorted, it was an easy, simple, efficient and fairly quick process to get it all straightened out - and now I can withdraw all funds freely. No complaints at all, very satisfied

Disgusting invasion of privacy

Have been using the site for a couple of months, fully verified. Suddenly, my account is suspended without explanation, and I am asked to provide a payslip to prove my earnings. I did as requested, I was then asked to provide a bank statement to prove my pay is being deposited. I did as requested. They then proceeed to question transactions between myself and family members and asking for an explanation as to why I trasnfer money to my partner etc. This was a step too far for me. I contacted them and asked them to close my account with immediate effect, plenty of other sites around to use! I am still waiting for the account to be closed after 2 or 3 days. Joke of a company - I recommend you avoid and stick to the main sites if possible.

Not a bad app to bet on. The live betting can get a little glitchy but not too terrible. My only complaint is that my my wagers keep getting limited.

Please DONT use SBK!!!

Yet again please don’t use SBK. I put on some horses for Grand National and then today the final line up got announced in which 2 of my horses were no longer racing so contacted SBK to get the bet void and my stake back to use on other horses only to be told they keep my money as counts as a loss if horse doesn’t run lol This better app is an absolute joke! Couldn’t care about its customers just wants to make up its own rules to get customers money. It’s a disgrace. Please don’t use this betting company!!!

Do Not Trust this betting website!!!!!

Do Not Trust this betting website!!!!!
Got a £30 new customer promo offer, went though everything they asked me to do, transferred £10 and placed £10 bet. Now being told that I have to place another £10 bet as the first one didn’t count as it needs to be over 2.0 odds which that don’t put in the promo, but have in the t&c

Just messaged your customer support like you said. Sean has said You’re not going to do anything. Like I said DO NOT TRUST this betting site!!!
