    What do Ladbrokes and Skybet have in common?

    A) They are both Prisoners Of her Majesty.
    B) They will only lay you peanuts.
    C) They no longer accept Belgian ************.
    D) They seem to have South Africans working at their customer support.
    Or is it that their support centre is in South Africa?
    E) They email you a confirmation of sending them an email.
    F) And last but not least: THEY DO NOT PAY!

    Cvnts!

    F not true. D also not true. Not sure what you mean by A. B is true for anybody has half a clue, but that's also the case for any other big European book.

    Been betting with both for years and never had a single issue with getting paid - admittedly I dont use Skybet that often these days as I am quite limited there, though can still get to win between £100-£200ish depending on sport/market which is high enough for some of my bets, just a pain for outrights betting (which is a shame as they are often slow to move their prices!).

    Laddies I am not limited at yet but again they have always paid me fast...

    i find ladbrokes an excellent , they say they will pay in 6 hours and it must be some automatic system because the payment is never a minute early or late always six hours, may be it is different for large payouts , not sure

    A complete waste of time post, both books may limit you, especially Skybet, however not get paid? what utter rubbish.......the only way you will not get paid at either book is if you have violated the t & c's.

    They both have good rewards to regular users but if you use them to often you get limited. It's their way of showing their appreciation for your loyalty.

    But if they aren't paying you then it's probably just an ID issue which you need to sort out. They are more A rated, IMHO, than many of the SBR A rated books at the moment given the uncertainty over the US gaming situation, as they don't take US customers and so have no threat hanging over them.

    They pay pretty fast. However, you're true regarding the first ones.

    I think they both limit, but Skybet tend to do it a lot faster.

    G) More than a week has passed and money is still on the betting account.
    H) When asking why it is taking them so long to make a 1-minute online bank transfer: Your request is still pending, admin is too busy.

    Both books! I am not kidding!
