I opened an account and made a few bets, lost them all and they informed me I'm no longer available to bet fixed odds there. Ridiculous site.

I opened an account and made a few bets, lost them all and they informed me I'm no longer available to bet fixed odds there. Ridiculous site.
Take your Money and then restrict account so can't bet with bonus
I registered with Racebets after seeing they were offering the best odds in a horse running the next day, most bookies were offering 20/1 but racebets offered 33/1, but there was a catch, I signed up and I read the promotion advertised in their website that you can get a matched free bet of upto £50, all standard payment method and wagering terms applied as expected, I made my first deposit of £50 via PayPal and added my selection to the betting slip, I tried to place a £25 E/W bet but a message appeared in screen to say I couldn’t place more than £20 each way at those odds, I’m wasn’t all that bothered since I was still getting much better odds than other bookies, an hour later I received an email saying my account was restricted and I could no longer place bets at fixed odds but rather at the SP and their decision was final and no further communication on the matter would be discussed, but it did state that although I could no longer opt in to any further promotions for free bets but the welcome offer that matched my first bet I could still receive, I did phone the company and I spoke to a guy who was very polite and helpful and I had mentioned I had read so many negative reviews about the company and his tone automatically changed and he took offence as if it was his company I was critizing (it could very well be him running it from his basement somewhere lol) and he assured me that wasn’t fair and the overwhelming majority of customers had a great service and experience with racebets, I went to opt into the new customer offer which I was still entitled too and of course! My account was not allowed to opt into it like the email said, from what I can gather the email I received is the same every single customer receives after registering or depositing and placing a bet, my selection didn’t win and although I feel cheated by a fake promo and a dodgy bookie god only know what would’ve happened if I won and tried to withdraw my winnings, I’m not a disgruntled punter, I simply trusted the company and the promotion as advertised through attheraces.com but I guess it’s best to stick to the big bookies like sky bet or bet365 they have decades in the business and a good reputation, take my advice if you are thinking of registering with a bookie for a new customer free bet promo or for slightly better odds, there are dozens or reputable bookmakers out there, it’s a shame that all new customers get that generated email about restricting accounts because you could’ve had loyal punters using your service for years to come, just thought I’d give my opinion

I agree with all the negative comments on here. My account was restricted within 10 minutes of opening because I tried to place a couple of bets at their advertised prices. Obviously they do not want winners or losers at any price, in fact I don't know why they are in business if they do not want any customers. I think the description of bookmaker is slightly flattering for these morons. Don't they understand that there are plenty of bookies out there making a good few quid by allowing punters to actually place bets with them!
Very very bad, stay away. Placed a bet this morning and then got an email 5 mins later saying that I could not place a bet on fixed odds anymore. First bet with them.... DO NOT USE. Get them closed down. Bookmakers like this do not deserve to be in business.
I would recommend that you avoid this company. I opened an account at 5pm, tried to place a bet which was refused at 6.30pm. I contacted their support line who got back to me to say restrictions had been place on my account !!!!!!!!!!!!! I had not even placed one bet. I have never experienced anything like it. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.
I wish I had read these reviews first the worst company in the world I don't know why they are still operating would give them no stars if I could. Placed my bet £12.50ew 2nd 12-1 returns £50 claimed my welcome bet and got email back I have been banned from all bonuses only had one bet and they refused to pay obviously you are supposed to loose shocking experiences.

Honestly I've gambled with some shoddy bookmakers before but racebets take the cake, they informed me I wasn't eligible for any promotions, after my first bet. Now they've informed me I'm not eligible to use their site even without best odds guaranteed or any bonuses. They're trading team must be petrified. They don't update odds quick enough so perhaps if they spent less time checking their clients and more on their product maybe it would have been a more mutually beneficial relationship. Credit where credit's due though, their site is a genuine pleasure to use. Thoroughly impressed with that side, just a shame you can't use it for long!
Absolute disgrace of a company, nearly every time you go to place a bet it loads for 30 seconds and says the odds have changed, this happened to be on 10 occasions in a row. I got credited with a free bet for £50 to which I tried to place it and guess what the odds changed every time, then i got an email to say I can no longer use fixed odds and can only bet £4.39. This company is a pure scam to try and extort money of people using this offer, surely no one can regularly use a site where the odds change every time you use it. If you read this review or any others PLEASE dont bother with this awful company, it’s a total waste of your time and money
Signed up, as they seemed to have decent odds and offered a signup bonus. Tried to place a £50 bet on a great tip. They declined my bet after a 30 second limbo. I tried again, after their odds had dropped. They accepted it. Within minutes and long before the bet had settled, they emailed me to tell me that I had been disqualified from fixed odds bets and any bonuses. Total jokers. Avoid like the bubonic.
A first I really enjoyed the concept of racebets: a bookmaker offering only horse racing markets. In theory it's a good idea. However, just like a lot of of average bookmakers a lot of simple things are so frustrating. Firstly, there is no option to withdraw on a mobile device. They tell you to use desktop version but the iPhone doesn't load it. How hard is it to add withdrawal to mobile device? I think they knew what they were doing with this. Secondly, they have the pending withdrawal thing. This only benefits the bookmaker and they tell you they are processing it. It's a lie. No bookmaker needs three days to process a withdrawal. A lot can do it instantly to PayPal. However, they dangle the carrot to tempt you into cancelling. Two very sly tactics used by a bookmaker to improve their profit. Not sure how the gambling commission allow this but all the bookmakers have the commission in their pocket anyway. It's so easy and quick to deposit but withdrawing it like pulling teeth.
Avoid Racebets. I deposited £100 to my account. When I went to place my bet the odds changed from 6-1 to 4-1. I decided to not go ahead with the bet and withdrew my £100. Racebets then emailed me to say they won't let me withdraw my own money unless I bet the £100 with them !!! They quote some dodgy rule in their "terms and conditions". I have never encountered this with any other bookmaker and am sure it is not legal. They plague you with emails stating they are the "fresh face" of bookmaking. Well they are definitely fresh and very very dodgy. AVOID.
Opened a betting account with Racebet, deposited £50 and the bet lost. Racebet then give me a £50 free match bet once the first bet was settled. The free bet lost so I'm down £50 of my own money! I deposit another £50 and try to place a bet and they restricted me to £2.27 for no reason what so ever. I called them and they said its a traders decision so I decided to withdraw my £47.73 remaining, however the mobile APP does NOT have WITHDRAW yes you heard that right NO WITHDRAW and had to spend another hour to eventually get my £47.73 BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS COMPANY I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND AND IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLAINING TO THE GAMBLING COMMISION! AVOID RACEBET
This bookmakers is a SCAM They ripp off clients using two methods First is that they do not alow you to see the prices of the bets you have matched in your betting history and almost every payout is cut at the price significantly lower than the price client matched. For example you match your bet at 1,80 price and later they pay 1.50 Second method the use is simply converting winning bet in to a losing by changing the data. 16.07.2017 i placed bet at Cherles Town horse race 2 on Mr. Jacoby horse nr 4 at price 2.2.for 100 USD. They changed this bet in Charles town race 4 on My City horse nr 7. wich was losing bet. Of course i didn't placed any bet on this horse and this race. Somebody should remove this scam out of the market and put them in jail.
Die Seite ist inzwischen viel zu aufwendig, bracht ewig. Der Service war immer gut, sie sind super zu erreichen. Der Haken allerdings wie bei allen Buchmachern außer onextwo: Limitierung sobald man regelmäßig gewinnt. Mt anderen Worten: Hier werden sie geschröpft. Wenn sie nur 2-Euro-Wetten machen, zu empfehlen, für alle ernsthafte Wetter ein kurzes Vergnügen.
I am quite proud to see that Racebets is the 1st bookmaker , over two decades , to realise in advance what an excellent punter i am , and instantly exclude me from all offers . Sadly therefore i will not make my fortune from them on this occasion
CON ARTISTS: Opened an account because of the generous £50 free bet offer, Placed a £50 bet on a fav on English horse racing, Then my limits were cut to ridiculous amounts so i could not place my free bet on any selection. Reported them to the governing body that adjudicates them, That was over a year ago and have heard nothing from them!
