I placed a bet on ruler of the world today over the phone, £150 at 9/1 the operator went via traders like they normally do with me, and confirmed it was on with me and even wished me good luck, I phoned up an hour after the race to confirm my returns as I usually do, to be told no bet has been struck today but there was a phone call off me at 9.05 this morning and it says on there system it was a general horse enquiry, phoned customer services and been told they should get back to me within 72 hours to let me know the outcome, I don't remember the operator asking for my cv2 number off my card, anyone got any clues where I stand here, because to me the bet was on and I can only put it down to operator error, how do hills normally treat their customers.

I cant see how its on if you don't think you've given your cv2 number, unless you already had funds in the acct. but they definetly can listen to the call again. have ypu checked your bank to see if 150 was taken out,

I never check straight away if the funds have come out, I just assumed the bet was on and thought nothing of it until I clarified my returns as usual, surely it's operator error if they've said the bets on but not taken the funds.

the call will be recorded, call back and don't let them hang up on you until they admit the calls are recorded and you have a manager listen to it. if william hill told you the bet was struck they are liable to pay out.

They've already admitted I made the call at 9.05, but said it takes 72 hours approx to go through the process, I asked to speak to someone more senior but was refused.

By:
I did have a call listened to again with lads I think it was, wasn't so much money as yours involved, but they did check the call and admitted their error and paid out, good luck nothing worse than thinking you've won , and nowt in the acct

Best of luck with that,holloway,wh customer services are dire.recently had an underpayment from a price id taken when they paid me sp.i fired 3 emails on consecutive days,never got a reply not even a confirmation of receipt to say theyd look into it.took another 2 phone calls before a/c was grudgingly amended.
|
|
By:
had a problem months ago with a completely useless telephone operator,would not entertain my query, so after having an a/c with them for app 30 years decided no more, not bet with them since or ever again. their loss.
|

By:
would never bet with any of them unless I have the conv. recorded at my end - unscrupulous companies play by unscrupulous means - a simple phone recording kit would cost approx £25 - not much in relation to the ops returns - then if the case had to go to IBAS, Id want my recording, as I wouldnt trust theirs. Hope you get paid out

WH - well there is a surprise - not!!!
Had a run in with them last year over an underpayment of a bet. I was told on 3 different occasions by customer services that they were right and I was wrong. Even after I quoted the T&C's on the website they still would not budge. Eventually after saying I was going to small claims they finally admitted they were in the wrong and the bet was re settled correctly - a hell of a lot of hassle that would of been avoided if their customer service staff were properly trained and the person settling the bets understood their own rules on bet settling. Don't let it lie would be my advice in this matter. |

I've phoned them about 5 times since Saturday but still haven't been informed by anyone if they are going to pay me out or not, just keep getting customer services in Gibraltar, the last time I phoned was at 4.30 today and was told my call had been listened to and they will be in touch within 76 hours, that's actually all they've said to me every time since Saturday, even though I've insisted this is for quite a lot of money and I could do with it dealing with straight away, I have been betting over the phone for around 14 years now and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me, I'm very disappointed the way this has been dealt with by hills making me wait so long as it only takes a few minutes to listen to a phone call and I am 100% sure my bet was laid by them but now fear they are not going to pay out.

By:
is this true, already been 48 hours and they say they've listened and will report in another 76 hours , 5 days to confirm a phone call, absolutely pathetic
|
|
By:
Sorry my bad wording they said 76 hours approx from when I originally reported it, so I should have an answer by 5pm today, but I'm not even confident they'll bother to contact me.

have you checked your bank dtais yet?If Said horse had got beat would you have phoned up and told them they had not taken the money for a losing bet?

in all fairness if they told him the bet was placed they have to pay him out.as long as they dont "lose" the recording.have heard a lot of stories with them recently.accounts being hacked and funds lost in their casino.have not bet with them since myself

WH just seem to have no one willing or able to take a decision,my last problem took a week to sortout,had a similar problem with the irish bookie they rang me back within half hour sorted immediately.

Holloway, I wrote a betting column read by 15000 punters. I'd be interested in highlighting your case and bringing it to the attention of a wider audience. Let me know how you get on... We publish on Thursdays....
|

By:
Hills admitted it was their mistake and have paid me, so fair play to them but I had to phone them up twice again today and they didn't get back to me until 3.30 today to confirm it, so it's taken a full 3 days to listen to the call and get back to me, which in my opinion isn't good customer service and has caused me a lot of stress.
|
|
By:
great result Holloway, I was certain you wouldn't get paid
|
|
By:
Just a pint for me..............
|
|
By:
did they not say it would take 72hours in the first place. does seem rather a long time though and not particulary good customer service but maybe there is a reason behind it.
good result in the end |
|
By:
Same result as for me - only issue was you had to hassle and hassle them - Convinced half the time they are hoping the punter will give up which is appalling!
|
|
By:
Yes I didn't think they were going to pay me to be honest, but in the end it almost feels I've won twice lol, maybe it was the power of the betfair forum that did the trick in the end, I very rarely post on here neither.

Holloway...just for the record did your stake of £150 go through your bank account ?

By:
No the £150 didn't go through my account as the operator didn't take payment off me, but they insisted on taking the £150 off me today before they paid me the full £1500 back.
|

By:
i wudnt say fair play to hills by any means holloway,you have only been given what you were due all along after a lengthly delay..and it seems they had a last throw of the dice for an excuse not to pay you by insisting on taking the £150 stake out!! like what was the point in this i wonder???? ill tell you what,if for any reason you happened not to have £150 in your bank account today the clowns probably would have told you your bet would have been declined anyway so didnt stand!
