WARNING - SkyBet Grand National

[denchomsky]

-- Do not sign up for the £10 free sky bet offer with Sky-bet on this page - http://www.skybet.com/skybet?offer=142&aff=681 because they wont honour it.

The page specifically implies that you will get a free £10 bet if you sign up 'Today' through the page which shows Grand National imagery.

I signed up did not get the £10 so contacted live support who basically denied that they had any offers running to do with grand national.

When I told them that I signed up through this page directly to them and deposited money, they said that there website states that they have no offers running so basically hard cheese and they wont honour it.

I persisted, calling them scammers and in the end they terminated the live chat, it was only at this point that I reconnected and swore at them!

Their website has this statement on it on the contact us page:


Grand National Welcome Free Bet

Please be aware we do not have a Welcome Offer running on Sky Bet today. However, all customers can qualify for our dedicated loyalty scheme - choose from free bets or money off your Sky TV bill - and we're also paying 5 places on the race itself.


I think they have put this up since my rant, but the sign up offer page is still accessible and contradicts this message.

Most do downgrade or suspened there normal offers as once a year punters dont pay for them.
But this seems blatent false advertising to me.

Check out BetVictor Paying 6 places plus £25 match to new customers
Or PaddyPower £20 free match to new customers and Paying 5 places

Reply from Sky Customer services:

Hi .........

Thanks for your e-mail.

I'm afraid you did not use this link to join our site or any other link.

If you had the free £10 bet would be on your account.

As you have now joined I am afraid it is too late for this offer to be credited.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

So basically calling me a liar, and contradicting themselves again by insinuating that if I did sign up through that offer then the £10 bonus would be in my account.
