Sorry you’re having trouble with this. Our Security team has advised that we would not be looking to reactivate your account. I hope you understand, though this is an executive decision and is now out of my hands; your account will, however, remain closed indefinitely. I apologize for the inconvenience with this. We’re sadly not able to give reasoning for this at this time.

Presumably you use the same log in details as Slybet H ?

Is it related to not using Slybet for business and just using it for watching race videos ?
Report howard June 26, 2025 2:19 PM BST
I haven't got an account with them. Just 2 other bookies. Only used SL to watch the videos.  Anything wrong with that ? They're supposed to be free.
Report howard June 26, 2025 2:22 PM BST
the log in thing was a pain anyway.  Will now have to use rtv/atr  or even pay RP.   This might make some pack in betting on horses. Is that what they want ?
Report Hayden June 26, 2025 2:32 PM BST
Only suggested because i've only ever watched SL videos through a Slybet a/c
Report LoyalHoncho June 26, 2025 2:34 PM BST
I do the same Howard.
Report howard June 26, 2025 2:36 PM BST
I started ages ago just with SL.  They then linked the site with Slybet. Never had a bet with them.  Maybe that's the problem but I didn't think you needed to bet to watch the videos. Looking like you do.
Report LoyalHoncho June 26, 2025 2:41 PM BST
My mate was binned by Slybet so can’t get into the vids.  I closed my Slybet a/c but can still get into SL.  Doesn’t seem to be any consistent rhyme nor reason to their decisions.
Report Hayden June 26, 2025 2:42 PM BST
I've not used Slybet for many many months but just checked SL via them and the videos play fine as does the live racing on the Slybet site itself

i was wondering if the reason he's been picked up is multiple sign ins but his vpn is using a diff ip address each time, so they think his acc is being used by numerous people

not using a vpn elise that's hayden
Report howard June 26, 2025 4:07 PM BST
The question is why did I have to sign in 7 or 8 times in an afternoon.  Something wrong somewhere. Someone on here suggested computer setting and mentioned a possible fix but it didn't work.  Looks like I will stick with rtv/atr for now because RP ultimate about £35 a month. Mainly a trader/layer so don't really need to see massive number of vids.

howard, do you not watch a horses previous races on the videos supplied on here by betfair?

maybe they are restricting time on their server, over stay they boot you, does seem odd tho

yes hayden.  And my other 2 computers. Too late now elise.  Looks like if you want to sign up with SL you are also with slybet and kyc identity address check etc.  Tiger do you really use that sh1t ?

how much u pay per year irons ?
Report uptheirons June 26, 2025 8:06 PM BST
Ultimate Membership is £49.95 P/M which gives you unlimited access to all UK replays and form.
I have done a deal for half price.
If you don't ask you don't get.
If you are a serious player it is a bargain,howard
Report Tiger Tiger June 26, 2025 8:07 PM BST
howard - you can watch all replays right here on betfair, click the arrow to the left of the horses name and from the drop down list of races go to the right hand side, click the orange arrow and you can watch any replays of the horses last six races.
Report howard June 26, 2025 10:16 PM BST
thanks v much tiger. I never knew about about that because I use RP for all form.  That's more like it irons. They still have a 25% off with code but it's a waste of money for me because I aren't bothered about the paper or tips etc. Or pedigrees going way back.  Just want the basic form which at the moment you can get just registering.  You mention serious player but what in particular do you take it for ?
Report uptheirons June 26, 2025 10:24 PM BST
Unlimited ability to watch all replays in the UK as often as I want howard and lifetime form on any horse with one click.
I have zero interest in tipsters of any kind and pointed this out in negotiating a deal
Report howard June 26, 2025 10:33 PM BST
Depends how you work really. It is possible to get full replays of all races using rtv and atr ( without registering for either )  but I suppose it's handy having it all in the same place.
Report uptheirons June 26, 2025 10:39 PM BST
Exactly,howard.
I regard it as a bargain to have the facility to do so on one Site for such a paltry sum

Facts, I will, but I've still lost the must be 80 or so horses I've noted in the Sporting life My Stable tracker. Can't remember all of them.
Report LoyalHoncho June 27, 2025 1:26 PM BST
Subscribe to Timeform SOUL.  Free.  Excellent tracker service.  All other services carry a charge but are optional.
Just my opinion but eighty horses is a lot.  Do you not get avalanches of emails?
Report SOULDANCER June 27, 2025 4:03 PM BST
Yes lots of emails but only couple of minutes to clear them all. I probably only bet 2% of my alerts. I wait for the right race, right price. I find the longer you know a horse the less you're wrong.
Report LoyalHoncho June 27, 2025 4:10 PM BST
I agree with much of your philosophy.  I find the trouble is that the list becomes loaded very soon.  Needs constant paring and strict reviewing.  In general what I note becomes old hat after a while.  Too much can be just that, too much.
For me the timeform facility would be great if it allowed the storage and highlighting of jockey info. too.

That's it. But now suspended.

Mine was suspended on Friday. I contacted them about the suspension on "Chat". I then was transferred to an agent, and then my suspension was cancelled. I only use SL for watching some race replays.

for someone that only bets on the last 20 yards of a race and photo finishes you were pretty desperate to get the old SL thing back up and running.
