Not fit for purpose
Not fit for purpose. Uses every trick to beat us. Unsubscribed and blocked. Feel ancient laggy and no freedom to bet how i want. Winning bets take to long to settle while losing bets settled instantly. Promotions dont work smoothly and 4 selections is the deal breaker. Our business is no more.

Hi Paul, we’re really sorry to hear about this experience. We take verification and withdrawals very seriously and would never intentionally hold a customer’s funds. If your verification was rejected, it’s usually due to a mismatch in submitted information, and we’re happy to resolve that quickly.
Please contact our support team via email at support@getsbk.com with your account email so we can look into your case and make sure your deposit is returned and check the verification query as well.

Their marketing is “bet £10 & get £40 in free bets”.
Once I wagered the bet, I received an email which I have pasted below. They claim it’s in their T&C’s.
I will be emailing to complain and once I don’t get satisfaction I will report to the gaming commission and trading standards.
ANOTHER SCAM ONLINE BOOKMAKER.

Trash scam company put my £ 10 deposit…
Trash scam company put my £ 10 deposit in as soon as I bet the 10 within half an hour they emailed me telling me I was not eligible for the bonus,
So I closed the account with these scammers.
To let you know I didn't put the £10 on as one bet I split into two £5 bets and i read later bet must be £10 on one horse of 2/1 over so really my fault, but I have seen all these negative complaints and decided to delete my account. Everyone don't go near this terrible company.

Opening an Account
I tried to open an account today with SBK. The first page went OK, I was able to enter personal details, then I went to enter debit cards details - the only part of it I could fill in was name. So I decided to email support. When I went to my email account I had already received an email from SBK with the following 'Following a review of your SBK account, we regret to inform you that you are not eligible to receive the welcome bonus offer on SBK. This decision was made after careful consideration and is in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.' I received this message probably 1 minute after set up, I'm not sure what I did to cause them such angst in less than 1 minute. I emailed them back but, needless to say, no response to my email. I'm reminded of the Fr Liam sketch - 'Cowboys Ted, they’re a bunch of COWBOYS'
Edit: 2 minutes after posting the above I got an email response from SBK - absolutely no explanation just a copy and paste from their Terms & Conditions. I'm reminded of the Fr Liam sketch - 'Cowboys Ted, they’re a bunch of COWBOYS'

I reached out to get a parlay settled
I reached out to get a parlay settled. I had two player props involved in this 2 leg parlay bet and they both completed what they were supposed to. Just wanted to get my bets settled since it’s been done for about half an hour or more. Sam was very helpful in assisting that my bet would get to the correct team to look into my bet!

Scam site
Signed up through their welcome offer advertisement. I deposited money, and right after they suspended my account for 'account duplication', even though I haven't previously created an account with them. I messaged their support but got no response so far.
Seems like a scam as they allow you to deposit money and ban you as soon as the money's gone out of your account and there doesn't seem to be a way of getting it back. Avoid.

Verification jokes
Previously had a full verified, fully funded account but underwent a self exclusion to focus on uni and work. Tried to deposit for the first time since and was required to show THREE forms of ID excluding the bank account I was trying to use. I managed to get two mortgages in the time I was excluded with fewer restrictions and questions
