Quick answer

Use only the contact details shown on the bookmaker's official website or app, such as live chat, its published phone or WhatsApp number, or its support email. Include your user ID, what happened, the amounts, dates and reference numbers, and screenshots. Never send your password, PIN or one-time code.

Find the official channels

Open the bookmaker's official website or app (type the address yourself or use a bookmark) and look for:

  • Help, Contact us or Support in the menu or footer
  • Live chat inside the site or app
  • A published phone or WhatsApp number
  • A support email address
  • Betting shop addresses, if the bookmaker has retail branches

Our bookmaker reviews list the contact details we found on each official website, with the date we checked. See the bookmakers directory.

Beware of fake support

Scammers create Facebook pages, WhatsApp numbers and Telegram groups that look like a bookmaker's support. They reply to people who complain publicly, then ask for login details, one-time codes or a "processing fee".

Warning signs:

  • They contacted you first.
  • They ask for your password, PIN or OTP.
  • They ask you to send money to "unlock" a withdrawal.
  • The number or page is not listed on the official website.

Write a message that gets solved quickly

Include:

  1. Your user ID or registered phone number (not your password)
  2. What happened, in one or two sentences
  3. Amounts, dates and times
  4. Reference numbers: deposit or withdrawal ID, bet slip ID, EcoCash transaction reference
  5. Screenshots of the error, bet slip or SMS
  6. What you want: for example "please credit the deposit" or "please tell me which rule was applied"

Keep a record

Save chat transcripts, emails and screenshots. Note the names or IDs of agents if given. If the problem is not solved, you will need this for a formal complaint. See how to report a bookmaker complaint.

Be patient, but follow up

Some bookmakers state response times in their terms (for example within 24 to 48 hours). If you have not heard back within that time, reply on the same thread rather than opening many new requests.

Summary

Use only official channels, protect your codes, give full details and references, and keep records of everything.
