Betway

if you want a chance to get a legitate bet voided after is won, these are your men

genuine advice   stay away from them.

A previous thread on the same subject.......

http://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/30342915/anyone-have-an-account-with-better-way?post_id=543650023#543650023

There was a thread where one of their reps came on here to try and explain that they were trying to improve, but he hasn't been seen since. At least by me.

dont bet with them

avoid like the plague, in fact you would be better off contracting the plague than betting with them

beware gerbils.

stay away

My gut reactions were that they were not trustworthy. They offer a free £50 bet for joining up but impossible to find T&C or even any mention of the offer on the Home page. Also a lot of the text seems to be a bad translation and doesn't make much sense.

An example which doesn't fill you full of confidence.

Accept higher oddsIf you select Accept higher odds you agree to automatically increase the odds of your game request and concluded that it is confirmed. If the odds decreases between gambling inquiry and confirmation, you must give your consent before you can make the bet.

I understand that Corals are positively anal when it comes to grammar bix, they only employ honours English graduates in their call centres, so that's probably the bookie for you.

They put a sneaky 25% bonus bank into deposits without your acceptance.

They don't tell you that you must wager (deposit + bonus x 100) before you can withdraw anything.

Any bet they deem to be an arb or even placed utilising Oddschecker at best price, they can confiscate all monies in your account.

CLOWN OUTFIT, AVOID !!!!!!!!!

I've had a few small bets (£10),with them BOG.No problems so far.

Have you tried to withdraw at all?

What's the point of betting with a firm who might not pay you?

they are a disgrace...need 88 different forms of id to withdraw.

If I win on a Monday I expect the money in my account on Wednesday. Never mind filling in forms and sending photos.

Think you would need to send them a "Tweet"  SPARROW. 

I would avoid them at all costs.

They received a rating of 2.2 out of 10!

And yet they are sponsoring the Queen Mother Champion Chase, difficult to believe...........

Asked to close my account yesterday.......it was nearly as hard as making a withdrawal!

people moan about over-regulation killing business etc...can you imagine what these grubby little companies would be like if there wasnt a certain level of regulation?

New marketing slogan "betaway but your a big price to get paid"

No one has ever been allowed to win with Betway..

ive a 50 euro barca treble on with them , this tread does not fill me with confidence ,plus i put my free bet on barca cuppa league double ,i like to think should either come in they will be honored ,plus ive used bwin as well for a messi ball d winner 2015 this tread now has me slightly worried about that too .

"Have you tried to withdraw at all?"

No.Not yet.Evidently these companies based in Malta are only required to make punters jump through hoops to withdraw ,if the withdrawal sum is £500 or more at one time.I haven't anything like that in my account.

I had a phone call from them yesterday, welcoming me and sending various offers. I think I'll ask them about their requirements for withdrawal before depositing but more likely I will be giving them the elbow.
And I thought Spoilsports was bad!
The only reason for my interest was because they were out on a limb with the price of a horse I was going to back.

Is it more important to get an extra point or two than to get paid?

I know the answer to that one sparrow which is why I didn't take their price and haven't put them to the test yet and probably wont.

sparrow there are some punters on here that have to try to get on as the alleged Major "Bookmakers" are unwilling to take a bet...

Ask me about any of them as I have had at least six accounts with each..

Unfortunately given current technology it is impossible to get a bet on.

I have had more computers than the BBC Weather Centre, more disguised IP addresses than ISIS and more friends than Wayne Rooney on Twitter..

The game has gone...

Alex Steedman moaning on Twitter that his first bet with them was reduced to £42 on a 9/1 shot.

It would seem that Betway don't even like the gravy train !

These start ups have been infiltrated by staff that have moved from other firms as lets face it they are chasing the Pound as the alleged "Bookmakers" have decided on an automatic trading system.Those that remain do not get a wage increase year on.

They all steal lists of those "that know" and then ingratiate themselves with their new employers..

The result is that no-one can get a bet on...

Highly illegal but hey...

ttt

Absolute disgrace of a bookmaker, the worst i've ever used. Shower of ****.

Yeah, they're to be avoided. I have won with them, but they're flim-flammers, their T and C's were written up by Mr. Tulkinghorn.

I did manage to retrieve my winings from them but I wouldn't use them again. The real issue here is why the BHB have allowed these shysters to sponsor the Champion Chase without checking their credentials (its called 'due diligence, BHB) Lesser issue is why Oddschecker seem to let any outfit on their site regardless.

I opened up an account with them the other day and had £40 on champagne fever and with my free bet had 40 on Windsor park.

Fever then gets withdrawn so asked them if my free bet is affected...answer was no all fine.

Windsor park wins so had 180 winnings plus 40 from initial deposit in account....then had 20 on something else before looking to withdraw.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the 180 and 20 remaining of my initial bet available to withdraw...thought that they would at least prevent me from withdrawing the 20 remainder of my initial deposit.

So I withdrew the full 200.

Read this today and worried that through withdrawing the other 20 would have fooked the free bet and give them wriggle room to knock me back....shouldn't have let me get at it though if that was the case.

anyway, got onto the online help and have been reassured that the full 200 was released to my card today!!!

I'll update as to whether it was!

did deposit,got free bet won,withdrew..........didnt have a problem.
I thought they would be ok given they sponsor so much I had no idea of there background after reading this lot and other stuff on the net,glad i was in and out before i new all this!

Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole having previously read their terms and conditions. Unfortunately it says a lot about the state of the bookmaking industry that the high street bookmakers will happily sponsor whole cards on the all-weather for buttons but have left a race like the Queen Mother to this outfit

If you are a recreational player then give them the Spanish Archer...

You only bet with them if you are a winner..

And we all know where that will go...

What about 'you win'

'won't'

There overrounds are terrible. Mug punters only.
