Betclic review: Is it scam? Is it legal? Warning: Blacklisted

When looking at the BetClic offers and the reviews of those offers the common theme is that whilst you will be given a bonus when you deposit, the ways in which you have to wager it are unfair and the chances of you actually being able to withdraw any winnings is very slim.

This is a longwinded way of saying that the bonuses at BetClic are rubbish. Check out the Betfred deposit bonus, SkyBet promo code, and Betdaq bonus code for better examples of operators that actually play fair.

The BetClic website lacks any real effort to make it stand out or benefit its customers. Sure, they have a theme and they're sticking with it, but the theme is just "RED". There appears to be very little in terms of effort, and should be your first indication to stay away from this terrible betting site.

Betclic payments are weird. You can allegedly deposit money through Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Maestro, Neteller, PaySafeCard, and direct wire transfer. There will apparenly be no fees applied to any of your deposits. When it comes to withdrawals things are different. The site says it will apply fees to all withdrawals. It doesn't, however, say what those fees will be. Just that they will “vary” by withdrawal. They do say that they will tell you what the fee is before you decide to make your withdrawal. That all seems a little bit strange, right?

We haven't seen that on other sites before and it means that Betclic cannot be trusted. As noted before there is no Betclic bonus code at this time. Withdrawals through Visa and MasterCard can take up to five days - if you get paid at all. Withdrawals through direct wire transfer can take up to seven business days if you're lucky.  All of which gives us plenty of reasons to kick BetClic over the edge of a particularly high cliff.

Betclic has pathetic customer service. They give you two ways to try and contact them. One is through 'live chat' that seemed pretty dead to us.  The other way to contact them is through email but we didn't get a response here either. All of which shows that BetClic doesn't care about its customers.  The best way to deal with problems with BetClic is to just never use the site in the first place.

As you might have seen in our Is Netbet safe and Is RubyBet legit guides, checking the licensing and security of providers is one of the most important tasks when we create our reviews.

The UK Gambling Commission refuses to allow Betclic to operate in the UK and for good reason. Even though Betclic is run from France but licensed in Malta, it's clearly a dodgy bookie. Plus it is also not allowed to operate in the United States. Take this as enough evidence to stay well away from BetClic.

You can compare these miserable findings with our other provider reviews, such as our Is PartyPoker reliable? guide.

BetClic does not have any VIP program at all and we can only hope that's because none of their customers stick around long enough to use one.
