Betfair Website Annual Grand National Meltdown Time

fücking disgrace

rancid outfit.

Does seem unstable!

This happens year after year after year

after year

Absolutely predictable

'Ladies and Gentlemen we are crashing now' - The Betfair Pilot

grinding like a bag of nails here - pages coming up all deformed and out of whack

ffs can't even look at the odds graph....

Went in to check on my 'Bets' and it came up as "Sorry for the inconvenience but betfair is busy right now but our betfair tech ninja's are working hard to solve the problem"

ffs, coating it with ninja humour doesnt make it nay better betfair.

Same circus, same clowns

About time someone was sacked for this shambles

No API for Geeks Toy either!

'there sre currently no events'

Absolute disgrace this website

virtually nobody seems to be posting either - maybe the forum is down for most

nobody is fcking posting even.  is me and westender the only people left?

The Betfair Downtime message is even wrong FFS

Well, this is awkward.
The site is pretty busy at the moment, so we can sometimes struggle to update our bet results page. We've got a crack team of tech ninjas working on the problem right now, so suggest you check back in an hour or so


The tech ninjas are on crack

People may not be able to log in if the server is busy

Incredibly the Sportsbook site has zero problems.

Think this downtime is deliberate myself

supposedly 117 people viewing the forum - but only 2 or 3 with the capacity to post

thats incredible westender - they have deliberately crashed us then.

... still nobody has posted

markets on again, account infos are not jet

so wont be refunded then?

what do you mean 'refunded' - if you placed a bet, it stands.

then website was down for 20 mins of the game...

More worrying is the fact that I have won 3 bets in the last hour and the winning not showing up in my account and not showing up in current bets....I know this is very awkward for you Betfair and you have your ninjas on the case but could you please sort it out.

Bingo! Money in..the ninjas must have read the forums.

Betfair really are a shambles of a company

lol theyre a complete joke was talking to one of the retards on chat he had no answer so decided to send me a 'you have no responded...' auto response and cut me off little c*nt

crashes are neither here nor there. if a bet is placed - well thats the end of the matter.

The website was wobbling from 2 pm through to 5 pm.

People were logged out at least 4 times and the site was unavailable to use at least 5 times today.

rancid outfit, sure i tried to place a lay bet at 2.5 and it was matched at 2.8???

exactly @westender i wasnt able to cashout of my lay bet so doesnt matter if i placed the bet the feature theyve made avaliable was unavaliable to me as a customer, so here or there is a load of crap

It was exactly the same for the past 5 years on Grand National day and they fail to deal with the issue.

The Betfair Sportsbook website was always available today and the priorities are all wrong.

This give a clear message that they don't care about the Exchange or customers.

i was unable to get on to sportsbook.  it wasnt just exchange i can assure you sir

Every time I checked the Sportsbook when the Exchange went down and it was working fine every time.

Crashed in Apr 2002 although that was supposedly a DNS attack

no the sportbook was definitely screwed to, all over the place, barely use it but the the few times I have in the last 6 months it goes into meltdown mode.

if any other company treated their customers like betfair they would have gone under many moons ago

maybe one day we will have a viable alternative

The sad thing is the following:

1. It has happened every year for a number of years now on Grand national day and other large events.
2. Betfair Customer Service give the annual apology plus a pledge to get things right.
3. The customers know it is going to happen but Betfair either don't or don't care.
4. The same thing will happen this time next year.

organise a protest westender and well march down to hammersmith and tso can supply the bacon to feed the troops

i bet on the betfair sportsbook for the psg game cos the exchange was playing up and the w@nkers still aint settled by bet. i want to reconcile my accounts and then go to bed.

bet they dont get it done until tomorrow morning.

It is down again FFS

We're really sorry, we know there are a few things going on with our website at the moment. Due to some work on our network, we're having intermittent issues which seem to be impacting how long it takes for our web pages to load.

Rest assured that we are working very hard to resolve this and get the site back to normal for you as soon as possible.


No prior warning to customers that there was to be work on the network and now the site is down.

Absolutely shocking customer service.

There is obviously something more to it and they are not saying. They don't want to start a mass frenzy or worse still a mass-debate on the issue.

But seriously, you can understand the site freezing due to the amounts of traffic it received on Grand National day but still site issues today? A bug or hacker has wormed its way into the system, me thinks.

I guess it's not their fault considering they are experiencing a DDOS attack.

all losing bets should be voided

on the mugbook anyway

Still cant get on the echange

can get on the forum but not he exchange 

can get on the forum but not he exchange 

What a disgrace...

Still cant get on the exchange!!!!!!!!!!!

When will the exchange be back up???

hopefully its going to be up for valencia and liverpool game

if its doss attack it could go for days if im not wrong

Wouldn't be surprised if it's from a disgruntled customer

Jesus christ who are these vermin doing this DOS attack? Why dont ehy go and target the sites that are brainwashing people instead and do something good for the country

no way one person could take down betfair, you would need a team of people all attacking at the same time

still not working? this is a disgrace

the old DDOS attack chestnut

Can be done by 1 person, all they need to do is order 10 thousand hacked computers to request a website simultneoiusly at the click of a mouse button

well I've finally managed to log in at betfair.com/exchange, but all footie and racing just has the spinning circles and the 'loading' sign.
