The Skybet website is packed full of stuff. It’s like a gift that you received with the wrapping paper tearing because it quite can’t contain the overflowing parcel inside. The Sportsbook is great, as it is very extensive. The extras on the Skybet side are really commendable, from blogs to Microsites on big sporting tournament, to radio, to Skybet Extra (full of latest betting news). The betting calculator is there, and the horse racing form and football stats are highly commendable (including Opta Stats for the football). There is the famed SkySports Score Centre which you can open to keep a track on things, plus plenty of games, poker, casino and everything else you would expect to find at your online bookmaker. However, and this is the crux of things with Skybet, sometimes it feels like there is too much, or that is has just not been organised well enough. The site is presented in white and blue, which looks good, but from the betting slip, to the organisation of the menus, and the constant barrage of links to other things wherever you go, it makes the site feel claustrophobic in a way. It is a bit of a disappointment that things just aren’t a little bit clearer, because Skybet have the feel of something special, but it’s not quite been presented in the best manner for ease of use. Some punters may well like all of the business going on there, but there is a lot to be distracted and frustrated by. When you stand it up against straight forward, no-fuss online betting sites, it looks very cluttered and confusing. It is a bit niggling, but if you can get past it, and take some time to feel your way around the website itself, there is plenty on offer there.
