About GBbet
GBbet is an independent guide to betting in Great Britain. We read the terms attached to bookmaker offers, check which operators actually hold a UK Gambling Commission licence, and explain how markets are priced – so that the decision to place a bet, or not to, is made with the same information the bookmaker has.
How we are paid
We are an affiliate. When you follow a link from this site to a bookmaker and open an account, that operator may pay us a commission. This is how the site funds itself, and it creates an obvious conflict of interest, so it is worth being precise about what it does and does not change:
- It never costs you anything. Offers reached through our links are the same offers the operator publishes on its own site.
- Commission does not buy a position. The ordering of bookmakers on this site is set by the product and the terms, and an operator cannot pay to move up.
- We list operators we would not recommend, and say so in the review.
- Where an operator has lost its British licence or withdrawn from the market, the page comes down or carries a warning. A dead brand is worth nothing to a reader and nothing to us.
What we check before a bookmaker appears here
Every operator on this site must hold a current licence from the UK Gambling Commission – not a licence from Curaçao, not one from a sister company, and not one that lapsed last year. We verify the licensee name against the Commission's public register rather than trusting a badge in a footer.
After that, we read the bonus terms in full. The figure in the banner is the least interesting number in a welcome offer. What decides its value is the minimum odds on the qualifying bet, how the free bets are split, whether the stake is returned, and how long the clock runs. Since 19 January 2026 the Commission has capped wagering requirements at ten times and banned promotions that tie a sports offer to a casino one, so any page still advertising a 40x rollover or a “free bets plus free spins” bundle is out of date, and we say so rather than copy it.
What we do not do
We do not sell tips, we do not run a tipping service, and we do not publish predictions dressed up as analysis. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to bet. We do not accept payment to write a favourable review, and we do not take content supplied by an operator and publish it as our own.
Corrections
Terms change without notice, and offers we describe accurately in September can be wrong by November. If you find a figure on this site that does not match what the operator is showing you, tell us through the contact page and we will check it and correct the page. We would rather be told than be wrong.
The obvious
You must be 18 or over to gamble in Great Britain. Betting is entertainment that costs money, not a way to earn it, and the odds are set so that the bookmaker wins over time. If it has stopped being entertainment, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, and our page on gambling harm lists the tools that work.
Written and checked by the GBbet editorial desk
Licence numbers are checked against the Gambling Commission public register; bonus terms, minimum odds and payment limits are read from the operator’s own published pages. Nothing here is a personal opinion, and no page is rated by stars — how we work · about the desk.
