Does anyone honestly get a bet on with this mob? I was offered a pound double on Apples and Eric to win at Cheltenham, it is false advertising, they are a fooking joke, then again with that clown Shinners working for them its no suprise

There is no point keep complaining on here, as it solves nothing.

You need to write to the minister of sport:-

You will get a standard reply that Bookmakers under their terms and conditions are allowed to refuse any bet etc etc; but if enough people write letters it will start to have an effect. My last point was to Tracy Crouch and I said that it made no sense that Bookmakers could refuse bets because they perceived one punter may be "luckier" than another punter.

The other option is to start a petition for it to be discussed in parliament but we will need 100K signatures and I don't think this is currently the right moment to raise it.

I know mate ^ I have contacted Mr Millington and Mr Shinners, and no reply, I never expected one to be honest, just wanted to vent my anger, its a farce, and they pay people fortunes to advertise on their behalf

To not allow even £1 win double should disqualify you from holding a bookmaking licence imho.

Sorry I meant to only offer £1 double should .....blah blah blah

Joke outfit, im just a small time recreational punter and was about £300 in profit with Skybet for the last 12 months around October time. I have had the account since it was Surrey Sports about 18/19 years ago. I noticed my usual £5 free bet wasnt in my account on the Monday and sent an email asking where it was. Later that day got an email stating "after a review by our trading team it had been decided that this account requires tighter liability management and will no longer be eligible for our free bet offers." It then went on to tell me i was no longer eligible for best odds guaranteed and other promotions!

On this latest offer from SkyBet i cant even get £1 on as my account isn't eligible. Joke outfit who treat its long term loyal customers like trash. I presume they just want to attract the casual mug punter. I've taken my business elsewhere.

I’ll take 5-10 mins to contact them tonight.

Knowing that it’s a waste of time, anything is better than nothing.

Imagine Tesco looking in your trolley seeing that you are price sensitive and barring you, I stress again, joke industry.

I’d much rather they bet to 120-130 or even 140 and everyone can be on.

ItsMeSwaddle,
Never take your Aldi or Lidl shopping into Tesco, always leave it in your car so they cannot see it. If by some miracle you spot some value at Tesco, say a tin of beans on offer. When you take it to the till, if they see your Aldi or Lidl shopping, they will open the tin and tip a lot of beans out, leaving you just 2 or 3. It's barely worth doing the toast.
