My £4 free bet vanished out of my account. Thomas sorted everything and I'm happy to say I got my £4 back. It's not a fortune but it's a couple of my little bets. Thanks Thomas and PP.
Latest Negative Reviews
Terrible site ... coin sink ... just put 20 in to change my mind .. £1.14 back from £20 ! Never mind all the other money ive spent on this site ... disgusting tbh ... on par with tombola absolutely terrible slots site only thing good about it is the varity of games
The most ridiculous customer service. I deposited £30 (no check on ID, just straight in for a bit of fun). Ended up coming out on top so went to withdraw my original £30 and the £10 I won (not part of any promotions, free spins/bets etc). One week on, I'm no in a loop having to send proof of address, proof of payment details, drivers license and pretty much my inside leg measurements! Never coming back to them, was fun playing for an afternoon but clearly they DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK.. despite plaing fairly and honestly and having a bit of luck.
