    SkyBet wont pay out.

    Okay, basically i'll cut a long story short.

    I deposited £1000 into my SkyBet account at the start of September.

    I was betting on the US Open, and by the end had turned the £1000 into £8000.

    I then went to withdraw the money, and my account got suspended and I was asked for front back of my card etc.

    Assumed this was normal, so sent it off. Then they asked for my ID, and another form of ID.

    Sent my passport and provisional.

    Then they wanted to check my signature etc.

    It's now a month later and they are showing no sign of paying me back...

    What do i do?

    Very safe company and they not that new. Very surprised with your story, not heard anything like that before about sky, of course always 2 sides but if you are playing a straight bat you have no worries.

    Hey guys!

    thanks for you're replies.

    I made a complaint and have emailed again asking for an explanation.

    I also rung them up and they said they were still getting my signature examined which is done by a different company or something?

    Pain in the ass this.

    It saves a lot of headaches and ************ are a real pain in the ass
