Promotions immediately removed.

As others have said they almost immediately send you an email after sign-up saying theyre withdrawing your rights to promotions with no explanation of why. Also despite offering slightly better odds than some presumably to lure new customers their cash out value for a bet with them vs the same bet with a more legitimate online betting company was also crazy.

AVOID….. Lure you in with the welcome offer then…

Lure you in with the welcome offer then refuse to give you any promotions. Get email in junk mail after reviewing account for business purposes you’re not eligible for any offers. Glad my perfectly legitimate deposit and stake won took money and ran! Worst Gambling site ever thieving scum.Brian Chapman10 Mar 2026 15:52 GMTCan you explain why I have received a message saying Im not eligible for promotions?I have opened a new account and get this message!

Denied account creation

All account details were correct and over 18 but would not let me open an account and when I asked them why in the live chat they replied with “Simply a business decision made following a review of the application”

Easy to navigate website and good sign up offers

After placing a bet and it winning I then read the reviews and thought I may never see my money However I was pleasantly surprised.Amazing sign up offers and easy to deposit/ withdraw.

Customer Reviewer

Pathetic

Pathetic useless individualsI opened an account in November 2024. I deposited £12. I have not used the account until today when I access my details and log into the account. I see sporting index have set a deposit limit of £50 per week without even consulting me about itYou’re a bunch of pathetic lowlife individuals I’ve closed the account and considering you only have a review score of 1.5 on this website. It just goes to show You think you can do whatever you want.You won’t last very long. The gambling commission will put its hand up your ass and pull your spine out.

Confusing

This companys business strategy is somewhat puzzling. I was offered some good sign up offers so I signed up. Deposited £20 and got some of the free bets offered ok - but not all of them - all lost but no complaints there. I then went to make a bet with my remaining balance and was told that I wasnt set up for online betting! Ill just stick to the exchanges from now on who needs these weird outfits!

100% a scam

100% a scam. Signed up as they had a decent welcome bonus and had seen the ranked in the top 10 right now. After depositing my account said I wasn’t set up to bet (what even is that on a betting site). I have the withdrew my money but haven’t received it and now can’t even log back into the account. To add to this in order to resolve the issue they want me to send them a photo of the back of my back card 3 months bank statements and a copy of my passport. This place is the biggest scam going avoid they are just trying to steal from you.

Immediately banned with no explanation

After opening an account with them for the first time I deposited £10 into my account. Within 30 seconds of this I was immediately banned from ALL promotions from their site for no apparent reason.

Demanding emails

been a customer for over 20 years. They have recently started sending emails that my account is overdue even though I am no where near my credit limit.Have complained before and they just make the excuse of the emails are automatic computer ones. Well maybe get the robot who cant think for themselves to judge each case as an individual.Have got tired of trying to reason with these people so have told them theyll receive a poor review on here every time I receive one of their demanding emails.Im 60+ not 6 years old so am capable of managing my own finances without their interferences.

Clayton

They Instantly Removed My Welcome Bonus

made my account with their offer and not even a minute after the account was made they decided that i did not qualify for the promotion and i wont be able to claim any other promotions offered now not to overreact but i literally just made the account what could i of done within that 30 second timeframe for them to decide this guy clearly is a threat to our betting siteoverall waste of time thanks for that

Don’t waste your time opening an account. They stop you using the site at random times claiming max stake limit without any justification. Many more betting sites available with a better service.

Johnny TheOne

Scam Bookmaker

Same as everyone else is saying. Signed up placed my first bet and then they said that they would not honour the welcome offer. Gave no reason apart from telling me that Id done nothing wrong?Here is a copy of the chat that I had with one of their agents:15:19:05) *** Dougal joined the chat ***(15:19:05) Dougal: Hi. I joined the site yesterday and placed my first bet. I have logged back in today expecting to receive the welcome offer free bets but cannot see them anywhere? Could you let me know what is happening please? Thanks Dougal.(15:19:15) Rudi : Hi Dougal(15:19:20) Dougal: Hi(15:19:20) Rudi : Please could you confirm your username or account number?(15:19:57) Dougal: DoJa42 BA6145Z(15:21:41) Rudi : Unfortunately we sent you an email upon creating the account informing you that you would not be eligible for the sign-up offer or any other promotions moving forwards(15:22:22) Rudi : This was a decision taken after a marketing review by our accounts team apologies for any disappointment.(15:22:55) Dougal: Yes I saw that which I didnt understand? But it also stated that you would honour any promotions that I had already started so I was still expecting to receive the welcome offer?(15:23:37) Rudi : The email was sent at 13:33 your bet was placed at 13:36. So you were informed about this prior to placing the bet(15:24:02) Dougal: So was there any reason for this?(15:24:25) Rudi : This would just be a business decision after a review by our marketing team(15:24:39) Dougal: What does that mean? Did I do something wrong?(15:25:58) Rudi : You did not do anything wrong this would just go down as a trading decision. I can not elaborate anymore than that Im afraid.• Sporting Index reserves the right to exercise its sole discretion as to whether or not to open account facilities for any prospective client.

But okay not to worry thanks for your help.(15:28:04) Rudi : Sorry about this Dougal have a good afternoon and thanks for contacting us(15:28:15) Dougal: Could I get you to e-mail me a copy of this chat thread please?(15:28:27) Rudi : Sure I will do this as soon as the chat ends.(15:28:32) Dougal: Great thanks.

They don’t honour the sign up bonus

They don’t honour the sign up bonus no reason given I met all the criteria but they just took my money and said I am not eligible. I complained and that also fell on deaf ears. Avoid at all cost!

They have a confusing website that lets you go in to debt I placed a £10 bet at what I thought was 2.4 odds and it turned in to a negative balance of £230 I called within a minute if the incorrect bet being placed and they say there is nothing they will do and I have to clear the negative balance up. I have a deposit limit of £10 for sporting index and they have told me the deposit limit doesnt apply to spread betting and I need to clear the balance seems like a scam to me and customer services were a joke no empathy or an ounce of decency avoid at all costs

Unhappy

Rubbish

Dont fall for the promotions you wont get themAbsolute Joke

AVOID AVOID AVOID

So my husband normally uses sky bet and came across this website ! Unlucky for him he never read this reviews and what he thought was a £20 bet turned into £180 ! Within minutes of not realising why and so confused on what had happened he immediately stopped the bet. Contacted customer service! They were rude and unhelpful and a waste of time and for the privilege of coming across this rip off company we are now at a £180 loss for a bet he didn’t even continue with and should have only cost £20. Website very confusing and misleading I will be notifying watchdog and speaking to my bank .
