I've been waiting since 9th July for my withdrawals. Over £600 I am owed and a charge back of £39 should be deducted from this amount, yet I am still waiting for the remaining balance. No communication, no reason, nothing. Really bad.

SCAM keep my money
I used my boyfriend's account to deposit £10 for a bet and received a £40 free bet as a reward. On 23rd and 24th June, I won £112 from the free bet. However, when I tried to withdraw the money, my account was banned. I have explained that I need the funds to buy food, and today is 20th July, which means it has been almost a month since I first requested assistance with the withdrawal. Is there anyone who can help me recover my £112? I keep being told to wait because the operations team is processing my case, but they haven't provided any time frame for when it will be resolved. This feels like a scam, and I have no idea when I will get my money back.By Abbie.

4 attempts and locked out of my account
Got Locked out if my account today . They say you have 5 attempts to input the correct password before being locked out . after 4 failed attempts I tried to reset my password via the email on the account but was told it was locked and I needed to contact support. Any other website , when forgetting your password , allows you to reset and change your password with ease by using a link sent via email . Not with betway . Betway was never my favourite website for gambling, hence why I won't bother trying to recover my account. Major improvements needed if they want consumers to be frequently coming back.

My friend and I decided to create accounts for the World Cup final.We read the terms and conditions and met all the requirements for receiving the free bets, but mine only arrived after 20 minutes, while my friend never received his at all. Because of the delay, I missed the chance to place my Bet Builder. Thanks for not mentioning this delay anywhere in the rules.

Neglect of basic user factions
You cannot even do “forgot password” it gets stuck at giving instructions on how to take a selfie but does not move beyond that. As a QA analyst it hurts to the core to see a big organization deploy such a basic bug on app and web.

Betway are disgusting fraudsters
Deposited £10. Won my first bet. Account then got locked. I have uploaded all required document and ID multiple times. Customer service chat takes over half an hour to even get a response and they purposely don’t have a phone number to call. I have sent various emails to all of their email addresses and they will not respond. If you’re an average customer looking to register with Betway. I would advise strongly not to. They will accept your first deposit then will lock your account and make it virtually impossible to log back in. I’ve been trying all day everyday just to get my funds withdrawn and they are just holding my funds with out any access to log in. They will reply to this saying “check your private messages” they will not send you private messages just automated replies. The worst betting company I have ever came across. I’m a military veteran and genuinely Betway have effect my mental health. They have literally stolen from me and many other companies. They have no customer care and are based in Malta to prevent paying tax etc. Just register to Skybet or William Hill, not these absolute cowboys.

Absolutely awful
Absolutely awful. If I could give 0 stars I would. Got a bonus in game, I reloaded the page and the bonus disappeared. That’s a first for me. And all they do is take. Never give back at all. Probably the worst online slots I’ve been on.

I no longer trust this website because it has failed to process my £200 withdrawal.
I requested the withdrawal on 22 June, and after almost a month I still have not received my money. I have contacted live chat multiple times and followed every instruction I was given. I sent all the requested verification documents, but my withdrawal is still pending.Every time I contact customer support, I receive different information instead of a solution. Based on my experience, I have lost confidence in this website and cannot recommend it until they resolve my issue and process my payment.

Betway holding funds hostage via bug: Referring to Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB) for license investigation
I am writing this to warn the public and expose the completely unacceptable behavior of Betway South Africa. Since Sunday, I have been entirely unable to deposit or withdraw my funds.Every time I attempt to request a withdrawal, the platform traps my profile in an infinite loop, redirecting me to the identity verification screen. The catch? My account is already 100% fully FICA verified. This is a severe backend database desynchronization glitch on my specific profile, yet Betway refuses to fix it. When I contacted customer support, I was flat-out lied to. They claimed this is a "known system-wide outage." My own research proves this is a lie—no one else is experiencing this since Sunday, and the platform is working fine for others. Worse still, I have now completely exhausted all available support channels. Every time I reach out to live chat to explain the issue, the agents rudely and abruptly end the chat session to clear their queues rather than escalating a technical script error. I have now downloaded every single chat transcript, documented the names of all the agents who intentionally cut me off, and saved the ignored emails I sent to their support team. Since Betway is illegally withholding my funds, failing to provide basic customer recourse, and ignoring emails, I have officially compiled my chat transcripts and am referring this matter directly to the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (WCGRB) for an institutional investigation into their bookmaker license. Betway, manually clear the blocked payment script on my profile immediately.Registered Mobile number: +27676909475Full Name: Anver-Dru JohannesAccount Number: 27676909475

SPAM - SCAM - Save your money
I do not advise anybody to use their service, after depositing they will ask you to validate your accout by sending them documents (passport / driving license / national id...). I did all that, and they kept asking me to validate my account. I emailed their support, then they gave me another email to send my documents to which I did but to no prevail. This only proves they are SCAM and SPAM.No I do not want to contact you any more because you are fake. You pushed me from one department to another. And at the end nobody replied. I am going to do this my mission to let everybody know. I have screenshots and I will share with everybody.
