The Brillbet sister sites in a nutshell
Brillbet went live on 7 September 2026 as the only brand of UK Digital Bookmakers Ltd, a London company on Gambling Commission licence 101570, so on paper it has no sister sites. In practice, it runs on Swifty Global’s betting software, and that engine ties it to Swifty Sports, Vickers, Tigerbet, MetaBetting and Stakewise.

The Brillbet sister sites
These five bookmakers share Brillbet’s software platform rather than its licence, and each one belongs to a different owner, so I’ve profiled them with that relationship made clear.
Swifty Sports
- Relationship: A sister by software and the platform’s own shopfront; Swifty Global (UK) Ltd, licence 58957, is the company whose technology runs Brillbet.
- The family elder: Online since 2022, the group’s most experienced brand.
- A different welcome: Its sign-up deal returns your £10 as a free bet only if your first bet loses, where Brillbet pays its £10 free bet win or lose.
- Two passports: A separate Dublin-based company serves Irish customers under an Irish licence, an international reach that nobody else in this family has.
- Best for: Bettors who like what Brillbet offers but would rather give their money to the family’s longest-serving brand while the newcomer earns a reputation.
Vickers
- Relationship: A sister by software, separately owned; J R & S Leisure Ltd of Darlington, licence 66877, with no regulatory actions.
- Real bricks behind it: The UK register confirms an actual Bet Vickers betting shop in Middleton St George, and the founding bookmaker’s personal licence ran from January 2009 until the new company took over in July 2025.
- Racing comes first: The homepage opens on UK and Irish racecards rather than football, with best odds guaranteed from 10am and extra places on selected races.
- Acca bonus up front: A 50% football accumulator bonus leads its bonuses, a simpler pitch than Brillbet’s twenty-rung boost ladder.
- Best for: Racing bettors who want the one brand in this family with a betting-shop pedigree behind the website.
Tigerbet
- Relationship: A sister by software; TigerPlay Ltd, licence65319, licensed for betting and casino since June 2025.
- The loud one: Black and orange with claw marks through the logo, easily the most themed brand on a platform that tends towards plain dress.
- Its own bass to catch: New customers get 50 free spins on Big Bass Amazon Xtreme, a different entry in the same slot series Brillbet’s spins are tied to.
- Course-by-course boosts: It offers price boosts for named meetings such as Goodwood and Bangor, a more local flavour than Brillbet’s standing offers.
- Best for: Players who want Brillbet’s toolkit with a little more trading history behind it and a bit of showmanship on top.
MetaBetting
- Relationship: A sister by software; Clarkson Bell Ltd, licence 61486, trading as Regency Betting Group, with betting permissions since March 2023.
- Somebody answers the phone: A freephone betting hotline, 0800 678 1888, is advertised across the top of the site for bets and exclusive odds, in a family where nobody else offers a phone number at all.
- Cashback as the headline: Its lead promotion is 5% back on net losses, a retention deal Brillbet doesn’t currently match.
- The abandoned empire: Its operator once oversaw a whole family of messaging-app bookmakers, including TikTok, WhatsApp, and Snapchat betting names. MetaBetting and the telephone service are what’s left.
- Best for: Bettors who’d rather ring a bet through to a person than tap it into an app.
Stakewise
- Relationship: A sister by software; Rocbrook Limited of Newcastle, licence 100802, licensed in April 2026.
- The nearest twin: The other 2026 newcomer in the family, five months older than Brillbet and dressed in black and lime green instead of navy.
- Word-for-word sign-up deal: Its £10 free bet comes with the same small print as Brillbet’s, down to the punctuation, which tells you how much of both sites comes off the same shelf.
- Sweeter spins: Its casino welcome offer pays 50 free spins on Candy Rush rather than a Big Bass title, the one point where the twins part company.
- Best for: Players weighing one Brillbet sister site against another before either has much of a record; this is the closest like-for-like swap.
How this Brillbet review was made
Every claim here comes from a source I can point you at, so you can judge the page on its evidence. My full approach is on the About Us page.
Rob Hill
Personally tested from a UK connection: every figure is taken from the document that binds it, offer numbers come from each promotion’s own detail terms rather than its marketing, and corporate and licensing history comes from official public records. Where the operator’s sources disagree, both versions are quoted. Account opened, deposit made.

101570
The live brillbet.co.uk site: homepage, the offers page and each promotion’s detail panel, the full Terms of Use, the Betting Rules document, the FAQ, safer gambling and contact pages, and the casino lobby; the Gambling Commission register entries for licences 101570, 58957, 100802, 61486, 65319, 66877 and 2203, all tabs; the Companies House record for company 16567828, including officers and control; the live Swifty Sports, Stakewise, MetaBetting, Tigerbet and Vickers sites, including Swifty Sports’ betting rules; Trustpilot; google.co.uk results for the brand; the imitation Brillbet sites and where their sign-up buttons actually lead.
8 September 2026, first published version
A racing bookmaker first, a casino second
The Brillbet site is navy and light blue, plainly dressed, and organised the way a traditional bookmaker would organise it: the top menu runs Sports, In-Play, Casino, and the homepage stacks Champions League fixtures, the US Open, UK and Irish racecards with best odds guaranteed flagged from 10am, greyhounds from Romford to Towcester, and MLB for the small hours. The betslip docks on the right with the boost banners beside it. It reads like a book built for people who bet on horses and football every day, not a casino wearing a sportsbook costume.
The betting product is more complete than such a young brand has any right to be, because the platform behind it has been running sportsbooks since 2022. The Betting Rules document covers thirty-two sports from horse racing to speedway, cash out is built in, and the promotions suite is the full bookmaker’s set: best odds guaranteed capped at £1,000 a day, first past the post on UK and Irish racing, extra places, money back as a free bet when your horse finishes second, a Lucky 15/31/63 bonus scheme, and 2UP paying you out as a winner when your football team goes two goals clear.
The casino side is a tight, big-name lobby rather than a warehouse. Seven providers are named on the filter: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City, Red Tiger, Evolution, plus NetEnt’s extended catalogue. The rows lead with new releases such as Judgemental, Harvest Moon Grave Profits and Ra vs Osiris alongside Starburst and Sweet Bonanza 2500, game shows run from Crazy Time to Monopoly Live, and there’s a crash-games row with Spaceman and Red Baron. Evolution offers the live games in a branded “Dynasty Lounge”: Dynasty Lightning Roulette, Dynasty Roulette and nine numbered Dynasty Classic Blackjack tables. The Big Bass series gets a whole tab of its own, which fits a site whose casino welcome offer, weekly loyalty spins and crash row all lean on Pragmatic Play’s fishing franchise.
Ownership, licensing and the UK position
UKGC Licensed, UK Digital Bookmakers Ltd (101570), click to verify
The paperwork for this brand is young. UK Digital Bookmakers Ltd was incorporated on 8 July 2025, its remote betting and casino licence went Active on 15 June 2026, its Terms of Use are dated 23 July 2026, and the site itself opened on 7 September 2026. Companies House exposes the bones of a small operation: one director, Christopher Fellas, who also holds over 75% of the shares, registered at 128 City Road in London. The register lists one trading name, brillbet, and two domains, brillbet.co.uk and brillbet.com, which are the same site at two addresses. There are no regulatory actions, which after twelve weeks of licensed existence tells you nothing either way.
What the licence doesn’t show is the machinery. Brillbet runs on the platform of Swifty Global (UK) Ltd, account 58957, a Sunderland-headquartered company that has held a remote gambling software licence since March 2022 and runs its own bookmaker, Swifty Sports. The connection is confirmed in the documents: Brillbet’s Betting Rules are Swifty Sports’ rulebook with the name swapped out, and the swap was done carelessly enough that Brillbet’s copy still reads “We’s Cash Out facility” and “We does not have to match” where Swifty Sports’ own version says “Swifty Sports’s”. A few other seams show. The rules define the daily cap on best odds guaranteed against a Central European clock, the 2UP terms exclude bets placed “through retail branches” at a bookmaker with no premises, and the Terms of Use render their quotation marks as commas, so the customer funds clause literally reads “subject to, not protected, segregation”. None of this changes what you’re owed; all of it tells you the rulebook went live without a proofread.
So the family is six bookmakers, six owners, six separate UK Gambling Commission licences and one shared platform: Brillbet, Swifty Sports, Stakewise, MetaBetting, Tigerbet and Vickers. No two share a licence, and a self-exclusion at one doesn’t carry to the others, though GAMSTOP covers all of them. For what it’s worth, none of the six licensees has a regulatory action recorded against it, and the shared platform means Brillbet’s odds engine, markets and cashier have four years of live service behind them, even though this brand has almost none.
Bonuses: two welcome offers with small print
The sports welcome offer is as simple as they come: place a £10 cash single at evens or bigger, and once it settles, you get a £10 free bet win or lose, credited within 24 hours. The free bet must be used as a single £10 pre-match sports bet. The stake isn’t returned with any winnings, and what it wins goes straight to your cash balance with no wagering attached. One clause contradicts itself: the homepage banner says the free bet lasts 48 hours, while the offers page and the offer’s detailed terms both say 72, and I trust the terms more.
The casino welcome offer needs more consideration. Deposit and wager £25 on eligible slots within seven days of registering and you get 50 free spins on Big Bass Blast at 10p a spin, valid for 72 hours and playable in one session only. Winnings are credited as cash with no wagering, which is the good half; the other half is a cap. Anything the spins win beyond £100 is void. Roughly the same thing happens with the weekly “Stick Around With Brillbet” deal, where staking £100 on a list of twenty named slots between Monday and Sunday earns 30 more Big Bass Splash spins, worth £3 at face value, with winnings capped at £250. The arithmetic is worth spelling out: that’s £3 of spins per £100 wagered, and both spin deals require a positive cash balance to activate.
The betting boosts are ladders, and the advertising banners only promote the top rung. The bet builder boost pays 5% extra on a winning four-leg builder and only reaches the advertised 50% at fifteen legs; the football acca boost runs from 5% at four-folds to the full 100% at twenty-folds, on three markets across around thirty named leagues. Both cap the bonus at £1,000 and take cash bets only. Racing gets the Lucky Boost, paying 15%, 31% or 63% on a fully winning Lucky 15, 31 or 63 at minimum odds of 2.0, capped at £2,000, with double the odds on your one winner as consolation. The casino bonus rules are published too, and something got my attention: slots contribute 100% to any casino bonus wagering, but roulette and blackjack contribute 1% and baccarat nothing, so table players effectively can’t clear a casino bonus here.
Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins network promotion rounds out the casino calendar with daily tournaments and weekly prize drops through to March 2027. Brillbet’s banner headlines the pool as £25,000,000; the promotion’s own terms denominate it as €25,480,000 shared across every casino in Pragmatic Play’s network worldwide, with the weekly prize tables in euros. The £ sign on the banner swaps the currency without changing the figures.
Payments: no fees, a £5 minimum withdrawal, and three answers on speed
Deposits run on Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, Maestro and Faster Payments bank transfer per the terms. The FAQ adds Open Banking, and Apple Pay is also an option. The minimum deposit is £10, the maximum single deposit is £5,000, everything goes through 3D Secure, and the site applies live affordability checks under its own terms. There are no fees in either direction.
Withdrawals go back to the method you deposited with, and the minimum is a friendly £5, or your full balance if that’s lower. On speed the site gives three answers depending on where you read: the terms say requests are “typically processed within 24 hours” and received within one to three business days, the FAQ says debit card withdrawals arrive in one to five working days, and Open Banking deposits must settle for about 24 hours before the money can come back out. Treat the slowest published figure as the most likely if you want to avoid disappointment. The ceilings are high for a small book: £50,000 in withdrawals per day, matched by £50,000 daily caps on both casino winnings, progressive jackpots aside, and sports winnings.
There are two things you need to know about how Brillbet handles banking. Customer funds are held in a dedicated account but sit at the Commission’s “not protected: segregation” rating, which is standard at this end of the market and quoted here from clause 1.33, commas and all. And the dormancy policy is kind: no fees ever, thirteen months of inactivity before a zero-balance account closes, and positive balances held for at least seven years with an email warning first. On paper, this is a clean, modern, fee-free cashier; in practice, it needs customers, and it doesn’t have many yet.
Support and complaints
Support is limited to an email address, support@brillbet.co.uk, with a postal address at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. There is no customer support phone number. The contact page confirms its service targets: identity and source-of-funds documents reviewed within 48 hours, promotional credits within 24 hours, and general enquiries answered within 72 hours.
The complaints route is properly built for a site this young. Complaints go to customer services within six months of the event, get acknowledged within 24 hours and answered within two working days, can be escalated to senior management, and end at the Independent Betting Adjudication Service, named in the terms, linked in the footer and free to use, with the panel’s decision binding on both sides. The terms also state that all disputes are reported to the Gambling Commission quarterly. It’s the full UK dispute ladder, present and correct from day one, and it’s exactly the checkable protection the imitation sites in the next section can’t offer.
The Brillbet sites that aren’t Brillbet
Search the brand name on Google, and the first results aren’t the licensed bookmaker at all. A cluster of sites at brillbet.casino, brillbet.net and brillbet.org present themselves as “Brillbet Casino”, advertise 100 free spins on sign-up and a 150% bonus up to £1,500, and say in their own small print that they’re run by a “Brillbet Casino N.V.” under an overseas “master licence” number of a class its named regulator stopped issuing years ago. None of those addresses appears on Gambling Commission licence 101570, which covers brillbet.co.uk and brillbet.com only.
The giveaway is the sign-up button. Click Register on brillbet.casino, and you land on a different casino entirely, Revery Play, at a different web address, with tracking codes in the link; a Gambling Commission search for that name returns no results. I can’t confirm who runs these sites, but the pattern speaks for itself: they borrow the name of a newly licensed British bookmaker to catch its search traffic, then pass the visitor to a site with no British licence. If you want Brillbet, type brillbet.co.uk, and treat any “Brillbet Casino” with a bonus the licensed site doesn’t run as a road going somewhere you don’t want to go.
What I like, and what I don’t
What I like
- Day-one transparency: operator, company number and a clickable licence link in the footer, with IBAS named as the dispute adjudicator.
- A fee-free cashier with a £5 minimum withdrawal, no dormancy fees, and balances held for seven years rather than swept.
- Both welcome offers pay winnings as cash with no wagering attached.
- A proper racing promo suite from launch: best odds guaranteed, first past the post, extra places and money back on seconds.
What I don’t
- Because the brand is so new, every promise on the site is untested, including all three of its published withdrawal timescales.
- Free-spin winnings are capped at £100 on the welcome offer, and £250 on the weekly deal, and anything above is void.
- Roulette and blackjack contribute 1% to casino bonus wagering, and baccarat nothing.
- The rulebook still says “We’s” where another bookmaker’s name used to be, and no phone number backs up the login-walled chat.
My Brillbet sister sites verdict: sound paperwork, empty logbook
Judged on its documents, Brillbet is a better-prepared launch than most I’ve reviewed these past few months: full footer disclosure, a linked licence, IBAS in writing, a fee-free cashier with player-friendly minimums, wager-free winnings on both welcome offers and a racing product with unusual depth for a launch. However, when it comes to performance there’s nothing to judge; the site opened the day before I wrote this, its Trustpilot page is empty, and the sloppiness that does show – a rulebook that says “We’s” where Swifty Sports’ name was, commas standing in for apostrophes, a Central European clock in a British book’s terms – is cosmetic rather than costly. The fairest thing I can say here is that you’re really betting on the Swifty Global platform, which has run British bookmakers since 2022 without a regulatory mark against any of its six licensees, fronted by a brand-new company.
If that appeals, the racing desk is where Brillbet earns its place: best odds guaranteed, first past the post and extra places is a combination plenty of bigger names don’t match, and the £10 free bet costs little to try. If you’d rather let someone else be the first customer, the family gives you ready-made options: Swifty Sports for the same machinery with four years of service behind it, Vickers for the version with a betting shop in its bones, and Tigerbet if you’re OK with just a year of history and a louder theme. I’d start small anywhere in this group, watch your first withdrawal land, and let the record catch up with the paperwork.
Brillbet sister sites FAQ: your questions answered
What are Brillbet’s sister sites?
Strictly, there are none: UK Digital Bookmakers Ltd’s licence covers only Brillbet. But the site runs on Swifty Global’s platform, which also powers Swifty Sports, Stakewise, MetaBetting, Tigerbet and BetVickers, five bookmakers with five separate owners and licences, and those are the family worth comparing.
Who owns Brillbet?
UK Digital Bookmakers Ltd, a London company incorporated in July 2025 with one director, Christopher Fellas, who holds over 75% of the shares. The software comes from Swifty Global (UK) Ltd, the Sunderland company behind Swifty Sports.
Is Brillbet safe and licensed?
It holds Gambling Commission account 101570, with betting and casino permissions Active since 15 June 2026 and no regulatory actions. Customer funds sit at the “not protected: segregation” rating, disputes end at IBAS free of charge, and GAMSTOP self-exclusion applies. What it doesn’t have yet is a track record: the site launched on 7 September 2026.
What is the Brillbet welcome offer?
Two run side by side. Stake £10 on sports at evens or bigger and a £10 free bet follows whether the bet wins or loses; separately, £25 deposited and played through eligible slots inside your first week earns 50 spins on Big Bass Blast at 10p a turn. Spin winnings arrive as cash with no wagering, capped at £100.
Is Brillbet Casino at brillbet.casino the same site?
No. Only brillbet.co.uk and brillbet.com are on the UK licence. The sites at brillbet.casino, brillbet.net and brillbet.org imitate the brand, advertise bonuses the licensed bookmaker doesn’t run, and their registration buttons lead to a different casino with no Gambling Commission record.
