Is Sky Bet Down?

If our Sky Bet monitor says that the website is up and you are still unable to access the website there are a number of steps you can take to identify what is preventing you from using Sky Bet’s service.

1. To start with run some tests on Sky Bet from other locations, which you can do here or here. Our system detects if the website is working in the USA, Australia, Germany, Finland, Japan and Australia.

2. You will need to check if Sky Bet is restricted in your territory, as some countries may be blocked from accessing Sky Bet via internet service providers or by the Sky Bet website itself. To check if your territory is restricted you will need to try to access Sky Bet using a VPN service. Note that doing so may violate local gambling laws and/or Sky Bet’s T&Cs and is done at your own risk.

3. If you are already using a VPN try disabling it. Sky Bet may have blocked the IP ranges used by your VPN service.

4. Check the Sky Bet Twitter page. They will report significant periods of website downtime on Twitter.

5. Check security and access settings on the device you’re using to access Sky Bet. This should include firewall settings, anti-virus software and parental control settings.

6. Reconnect to the Internet. Try turning your device on and off, and if possible also turn the modem or router connecting you to the Internet on and off.

7. Clear your browser cache and cookies. You can find out how to do this here.

8. Try using a different browser to bypass your existing browser cache and settings. For example if you usually used MS Edge, use Chrome.

9. Open an incognito/private session on your existing browser. This can bypass browser settings preventing you from accessing the Sky Bet website.

10. Clear your DNS cache. A guide to clearing the DNS cache is available here.

11. As a final resort you can change the Ips on your DNS server. This is a little more technical than the other steps above, so remember to record your DNS settings before you attempt to change them. You can learn how to do this here. A list of alternative DNS server IPs is available here.
