I lost 5 thousand pounds in a few months playing casino games, just a waste of time, I wasted the little money I had on credit cards, now I have to pay a lot of commission. I closed the application, I don't recommend it to anyone, only they want to always win.

A very disheartening experience
Zero transparency after a Beat The Drop promotion win sparked an account review (after over twenty years of custom) and repetitive intrusive questions that I answered in good faith. Not even a fraction of the same level of honesty has ever been given back. End result is that I have been excluded against my wishes and understanding. I've tried to engage with thoughtful correspondence but it's a waste of time. There are some good people working at Betfair but the overall system is so anti-customer service (delays, being sent around the houses but still not being allowed to speak to anyone accountable, lack of any smidgeon of information or reassurance about "under review" issues, agents seemingly in awe of their superiors as if upsetting the traders by asking them questions is a bigger fear than upsetting customers, a complaints process that ends with safe/defensive verdicts like "no evidence could be found" instead of giving a definitive denial of any accusations or even giving any kind of explanation for actions taken at a specific time) and riddled with so much hypocrisy and toxic smugness from the top that any good is stamped down on by a huge amount of bad.

Use your local betting shop
Never even got a chance to place many bets. Same all over; the verification process is a mess of failed AI. I wanted a little entertainment, not my details being handed all over the web for a fiver by who knows.

I sent the following to Betfair: Unfair Account Closure, Poor Customer Service, Escalate issue.
I sent the following to BetfairHi BetfairRespectfully, I firmly disagree wuth the decision to cloe my account especially without explaination. I contacted customer service and this seemed to make the issue worse as their limited abilities to resolve this issue.I had closed my account for a couple of months to focus on new avenues. I tried to create a new account thinking that the closure was permanent like a deletion. I explained this to the customer service representative who said that was impossible so I reactivated my old account.I never intended to breach any conditions and was very transparent and honest with your customer service team. I would never have intentionally breached any Betfait terms and conditions.I was promptly emailed and to my disappointment banned me for without. Explaination. No reason provided and whenbIasked would not provide any answer. I elected to have a break and closed my account for a couple of months. Again, I elected. That's it. When I tried to reactivate I was treated rudely and nastily like some loony. Very poor customer service and equally poor management. Horrible experience making me feeling depressed and mistreated. I feel very strongly that this decision is very unfair and would respectfully like to escalate this further to resolve this suitably with my desired outcome being my account reopened.Kind regardsHugh Sahlstrom*********************04********Their response:Dear Hugh,Thank you for contacting the Betfair Complaints Team.We have reviewed your complaint regarding the closure of your account, including the circumstances you have outlined and your request for the account to be reinstated.We appreciate that you strongly disagree with the decision and that you would like a more detailed explanation.

Betfair is not fair.
Betfair said my bet was not matched however I took a screenshot to show that it was. They refused to pay £172. Account closed as they don't play fair and , if there is no trust, then they should not be in business.

Support is top class
Support is top class, depends who you receive - i received Agent Gajula and Zoe and they are absolutely top of the top, helped me with manual verification and unblocking withdrawal, money arrived instant (review would be 5 star if they improve UI and Design of the app)

Quit simply a zero star firm
Quit simply a zero star firm. It’s an insult to 1 star having to select that as a minimum, it implies Betfair are doing something right whereas across all metrics zero is the perfect denomination just like their scamming website where Re payouts zero too - AVOID
