If you’re reading this don’t bother. Sporting bet don’t deliver anything they promise. If the Gambling Commission are reading this, this place needs to investigated and shut down. They have their own rules which certainly doesn’t mirror the set guidelines.

How are these companies legally allowed…

How are these companies legally allowed to operate its absolutely baffling. This is the problem with gambling commision they just allow these thieving companies to just do what they want. I don't think anyone has ever had a positive experience on this site and yet there still just left to do what they want its a joke. Wish everyone would close their accounts so they go bankrupt and close down

worst experience

Worst of the worst experience. They accepted my money when I deposited funds. They verified my account and allowed me to use the site. Then when I win money they get all weird and verify account which I supplied details required. I won over £471 and wanted to withdraw that. Then my account got closed no reason given and funds seized. I asked for a reason and an email with customer support and they ended the chat. The worst service I have ever seen. Please don’t use this site, they are robbing winners of funds and giving no reason for account closure while seizing funds. All they say is it’s a reason on the terms and conditions but there are over 27.4 different clauses there so I’m none the wiser.

I would give them minus one if …

I would give them minus one if it was available,
Probably the worst bookmaker i have ever signed up to,
Up to now they have not bothered to give me the bonuses as promised.
After a lengthy chat via live chat and was told dont worry it will be added a further 3 days later still nothing, even the boost bonus was not available as promised, all in all zero,
I have also 3 days ago sent them 2 emails all ignored,
They should be reported to trading standards i might just do that wednesday as i have a day off from work,
The final kick in the teeth was a sales email i saw this morning which prompted me to do this review,
It said make another deposit for a further bonus,
who are these people, dam rip off,
give me what i am owed you robbers

Sportingbet Ignores Player Protection & Customer Complaints!

I trusted Sportingbet to respect the responsible gaming limits, but they allowed me to deposit far beyond the regulated amount. This is a clear violation of German gambling regulations.

Other reputable betting sites acknowledged similar issues and refunded the excess deposits, but Sportingbet refuses to take responsibility. Even after the GGL confirmed that their system failed to enforce limits properly, they continue to ignore my requests for a fair resolution.

Instead of protecting players, Sportingbet chooses to delay, ignore, and deny. If something goes wrong, don’t expect any help – you’re on your own! Avoid this platform at all costs.

Absolute total waste of time

I opened an account on Monday 17th depositing £30. I did five bets of £5 with a total return of £13.80. On Tuesday the 18th I went to have a bet on the site and placed a stake of £10. I was informed that I had been restricted to a stake of 84p. I am old enough to be aware of gambling problems and the effects they can have, but to restrict someone to a stake of 84p is a joke and an insult. I am more than happy to provide photographic evidence of their customer service. This is not a slur job on Sportingbet as I actually thought their site was aesthetically pleasing and well set out. They are in fact the only bookmaker to restrict me and I have been betting since the days when you had to pay 10% betting tax.

Terrible

Terrible.
I couldn't even complete the signup challenges to get the free bets because they said I'm no longer eligible.
Also restricted to 84p max for bets.

Engrained incompetence at every level.

Engrained incompetence at every level.

I was repeatedly told by LC International agents that my bank was blocking withdrawal payments. I then tried to withdraw to paypal which also failed. An agent eventually admitted that they had problems processing withdrawals which had been acknowledged by their technical team and that they were trying to resolve

Getting my winnings from SportingBet, Coral and Ladbrokes has become hell recently. It used to be within four hours everytime, now it's days and only after initiating conversations with support. The icing on the cake is that on two occasions they have declined to give me a free bet despite me telling them of severe inconvenience and dissatisfaction with my experience. Unfortunately the UK gambling market is too competitive to invest any further time in companies like LC International and thus I have proceeded to close my accounts across all brands.

Very bad business towards a long term customer who has been betting with you for many years.

Good day.

Restricted me immediately

I deposited £40 and placed a total of 3 bets on here. 1 on an Arsenal game, 1 on Tottenham and 1 on a premier league ACCA. Apparently, this warrants completely restricting my account so that I can place a maximum of £0.84 on bets!? Ridiculous. Probably just because all 3 of my bets happened to win they didn't like that. Didn't even withdraw either as I was continuing to use their site, but apparently I'm not welcome. Bet365 is better anyway.

What can I say lol

What can I say lol . Luckily I only deposited £12 so I can’t be accused of being a bad loser and my review isn’t valid . Like I said played with £12 win over £200 on slots withdrew 200 and from that exact moment BOOM . No access to account . Spoke to online chat . Sent documents needed to be verified . Was told I have to ring them to get back access to my account . Spoke to a nice lady was told I could log back in within the hour . Logged in fine back on site went to play a game nothing loaded . Logged out logged back in YOUR ACCOUNT IS BLOCKED ! And surprise surprise no response on web chat at all , all of a sudden there’s no one available to answer my calls and every email I try to send it fails with an internal issue lol need I say more people ?? I’m so glad I did this early on like I do on all my sites to test withdrawal times and issues etc . They could’ve and would’ve had 1000,s from me but screwed me over after £12 lol I doubt I’ll see the withdrawal or the remainder of my balance . Join at your own risk guys . £12 well spent to know how bad these people are lol .
