1 star awarded due to unacceptable behaviour. It's only a minor infringement on their behalf by withdrawing my "Best Odds Guarantee", it's blinkered and petty and I will report it to the Gambling Comm... See more

They're the only company I've ever come across that forces you to spend your entire deposit before you can withdraw. So, say you deposit £50 and you only decide to spend £20, you then have to sp... See more

Worst on-line betting company ever (IMO), website either doesn't work or is very slow. It's also very difficult to navigate around. After I had placed my bet it took over an hour to register on their... See more

188bet Korean agencies are crooks and criminals

188bet managers have illegally confiscated customers' rebates twice and still haven't paid me!
It's the same as the act of eating and running!

The 188bet reputation has fallen to the bottom and will soon be destroyed
188bet managers will destroy you all!

188BET is full of scammers

188BET is full of scammers. After winning on a football match I tried to withdraw it but suddenly they need to verify my account after they closed my account for unknown reason and deducted 1.2k of my account what a scam! Hope they enjoy that money.

absolute scammers.

This bet provider is an absolute joke. Limited after first normal bet that I made (and even have lost). And after that they refuse a withdrawal. They say proof of address is not okay even though I uploaded everything that was required. Bank statement, utility bill and further even an official signed document from authorities. Not accepting anything makes it impossible to withdraw. --> AWARE, REAL BIG SCAM

I hardly wagered 100 usd there

I hardly wagered 100 usd there, just by making two normal sport bets, and they limited my maximal stake limit by 1USD without ANY reason. WHAT NONSENSE! I suggest everyone to avoid them!

Worst worst worst betting site ever I…

Worst worst worst betting site ever I have used... They will try every possible way to lock your money so that you cannot with withdraw. Why the f#ck I have to verify the account when I win something big? Why not before? And after providing legit documents even they are not approve... Their market tretagy is terrible, they think that they are the only betting site exit in this earth... Very limited market able, I highly recommend you guys don't even open account with this betting site...

Got scammed out of 450 pounds

Tried to withdraw funds before they pull out of UK market, sent them all the documents they asked for, contacted the customer service multiple times to make sure they get it approved.
They didnt do it and the day after the end date told me theres nothing they can do and its basically my fault.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND
they scam you out of your money and pretend its not their fault

Dishonest

I thought I'd give 188bet a go when I noticed their sign up offer via Google, I signed up via the offer which was displaying on their site. However they refused to credit me saying the offer had been withdrawn the previous day despite the offer clearly being on their site the day after. Very dishonest and would not honour the offer.

Customer service wasn't overly impressive either, I'll stick with my current bookie.

Ditto to other views.

Ditto to other views.
Can't take money out unless you have bet with it first!
Can't withdraw pence.
I deposited then changed my mind!
I waged war by betting a 1/50 shot then drew money out. I now have a balance of 7p and am working out how to get it. Any ideas?

Cr*p limits

Cr*p limits
Deposited and wanted to bet a game on the handicap. Couldn't get 100 on so tried to withdraw my money back
3 days later I check and its still in my account. Emailed them and said I need to bet the money I deposited before I can withdraw
I said how can I do that when you wont take the bet. Its in the terms and conditions nobody ever reads.
Utter fools. Avoid
