The CopyBet sister sites in a nutshell
CopyBet is the only child in this family: Copybet UK Limited‘s Gambling Commission licence covers exactly one domain, copybet.com, a London-registered sportsbook built around following and copying other bettors’ wagers, with no casino attached and no second brand anywhere.

There are no CopyBet sister sites for me to profile, so the four profiles below are licensed UK bookmakers chosen as CopyBet alternatives, each trading on its own separate licence.
Betfair
- Relationship: An alternative, not a sister site; Flutter Entertainment’s exchange brand, run by PPB Entertainment Limited on Gambling Commission licence 39426.
- The exchange: Betting against other bettors rather than a bookmaker, backing and laying at prices the market sets, which takes CopyBet’s odds-first pitch further than CopyBet does.
- A working welcome offer: Bet £10 and get £50 in free bet builders, accas and multiples with a 30-day life, fifty pounds more than a new CopyBet customer receives.
- Its own family: Paddy Power is its one sister site, so the pair cover the analytical and the entertaining ends of betting between them.
- Best for: Bettors who came searching for a CopyBet sister site with the same data-first attitude, and who’d rather set their own odds than take anyone’s price.
William Hill
- Relationship: An alternative on its own licence; WHG (International) Limited, UKGC account 39225, within the Evoke plc group.
- The opposite of new: A bookmaking name with decades of history behind it, where CopyBet dates from March 2021.
- Everything under one roof: Sports, Vegas-style slots, casino, bingo, and poker all run under one William Hill account, a product spread CopyBet doesn’t offer.
- Racing desk: One of the most established racing operations in British bookmaking, with the depth of markets that comes with the history.
- Best for: Players who trust a bookmaker their father could have used, and want tradition, breadth and a name that predates the internet.
Betfred
- Relationship: An alternative, not a sister site; Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited, licence 39544, with no active sister sites of its own.
- Offers everywhere: The promotional temperament runs opposite to CopyBet’s restraint, with a Bet £10, Get £50 sign-up deal and a rolling stack of extras behind it.
- Racing roots: Built out of a betting shop business, and it still reads like one online, strongest around the day’s racing.
- Full spread: Sportsbook, casino, bingo and pools on one account, where CopyBet’s licence includes no casino activity at all.
- Best for: Punters who like a busy shop window and want their bookmaker throwing promotions at them rather than a single daily boost.
BetUK
- Relationship: An alternative on LeoVegas Gaming PLC’s UK licence, account 39198, the MGM-owned family that includes BetMGM.
- The closest temperament: A plain, sports-first site with racing on the homepage, the nearest thing in this set to CopyBet’s stripped-back style.
- Sports welcome offer: Bet £10 within a week of registering and get £40 in free bets, four £10 tokens split between football accas and sports multiples.
- Same protections, more family: IBAS disputes and medium-protection funds like CopyBet, but with five licensed sister sites around it rather than none.
- Best for: Players drawn to CopyBet’s plainness who still want a welcome offer and a bigger network standing behind the brand.
How this CopyBet 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, working from primary sources only: every figure comes from the document that binds it, promotional numbers are taken from the operator’s own published terms rather than summaries of them, and the corporate and licensing history comes from official public records. Where the CopyBet terms and conditions disagree, both versions are quoted. Account opened, deposit made.
3 September 2026, on a Windows laptop using Google Chrome
Copybet UK Limited, company 10949712, named in the site’s own footer with its Baker Street address; the Commission’s register still shows an older Gray’s Inn Road head office.
53774
The live copybet.com site: homepage, the promotions page and each offer’s own detail page, the general terms, promotional terms and platform-features documents, the dispute resolution page and the sign-up form; the CopyBet help centre; the Gambling Commission register entry for account 53774, all tabs; the Companies House record for company 10949712, including officers and control; AFC Bournemouth’s club partnership page; Trustpilot; the Google Play listing; google.co.uk results for the brand; the live BetUK site; the register entries for accounts 39426, 39225, 39544 and 39198; my Betfair, William Hill, Betfred and BetUK reviews.
3 September 2026, first published version
Minimalism as the product
The site is dark navy with lime green accents and almost nothing else: a menu of four entries, a sports strip, a search box and a betslip docked on the right. No carousel, no pop-ups, no countdown clocks. The commitment shows in the numbers on the sports strip, which listed over 1,200 football matches and more than 500 races on one September afternoon, with tennis, cricket, snooker, baseball, basketball and volleyball behind them and fifteen sports in the tips section’s filter. It’s a working tool first and a bookie second, and for a certain kind of bettor that’s precisely the appeal.
The distinctive machinery is the tipster layer. A Signals feed shows ranked tipsters’ open bets as they’re placed, each entry naming the event, bet type and time, with a Follow button beside it; subscriptions can be free or paid, and copying scales your stake by a coefficient of the tipster’s rather than a fixed amount, which the help centre confirms in a single sentence: “No, it is not” possible to do otherwise. A weekly leaderboard ranks tipsters by net profit, topped in early September 2026 by an account showing £1,164.29 of profit from fourteen bets, and the top three win modest cash prizes of £25, £10 and £5 that can be withdrawn as money. Horse and greyhound racing streams play for anyone with a positive balance or an open bet, and an editorial desk publishes previews, Goodwood and the US Open among recent subjects. The apps carry the same product, and the mobile application is where the few promotional mechanics live.
Ownership, licensing and the UK position
UKGC Licensed, Copybet UK Limited (53774), click to verify
Copybet UK Limited was incorporated in London in September 2017, and Companies House classifies its business as software development, IT consultancy and data processing before it lists gambling: this is a technology company that became a bookmaker, not the other way round. The paper trail agrees. The operator took its remote gambling software licence in June 2019 and only added the betting permission in March 2021, and it surrendered a non-remote software licence in July 2025, leaving the online operation as the whole business. The register lists one domain, one trading name, no premises and no regulatory actions.
Control of the business lies with Vitaly Avtaykin, based in Limassol, who has held over 75% of shares and voting rights since May 2019 per the Companies House record; the founding Cypriot director and a Seychelles-registered corporate secretary both left in August 2025, when Mark Smith, a British director, was appointed. The brand has been spending on visibility since: in July 2026 AFC Bournemouth named CopyBet an Official Betting Partner for the 2026/27 season, announced on the club’s own partnership pages with Mark Smith quoted as managing director. The footer discloses the company, its number and the licence in full, and GAMSTOP applies as it does at any licensed British bookmaker.
Bonuses: no welcome offer anymore
CopyBet has no sign-up offer. The promotions page lists seven deals, and none are for new customers. The registration form sells nothing but the account, and the help centre says it in plain English: “CopyBet no longer offers the Welcome Offer Free Bet. This promotion is not currently available and cannot be accessed or claimed.” The retired deal was a bet-£20-get-£20 free bet, and its paper trail hasn’t been fully swept: the full terms still sit inside the operator’s promotional documents, and the company’s own Trustpilot profile still advertises “BET 20 GET 20” beneath its blurb. Neither fact changes what a new customer gets, which is nothing.
What everyone gets instead is a standing architecture, fully priced in the operator’s own terms. Best odds guaranteed runs all day, every day on UK and Irish racing: take an early or show price and the bet pays at the starting price automatically if that ends higher. A Daily Profit Boost of up to 15% is granted for each day you sign in, applied by a betslip toggle to singles and accumulators up to a £30 stake. The ACCA Booster adds a cash bonus to winning accumulators of three or more legs at minimum odds of 1.3 apiece, climbing a ladder from 5% at three legs to 100% at twenty or more, capped at £5,000 of bonus per bet, and a boosted leg made void simply drops the bet down the ladder. Occasional promo codes carry their own printed limits, minimum odds of 2.0 and a £100 maximum stake, and a weekly football Prediction Challenge pays a shirt or a £50 free bet. Free bets, where they appear, are stake-not-returned, with winnings capped at £500 and a seven-day shelf life. It’s a portfolio priced for people who bet daily, and worth nothing to anyone who was only ever going to visit once.
Payments: some of the friendliest terms in British betting
Four methods are available the cashier: instant bank payment secured by TrueLayer, UK-issued debit cards (Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Maestro and Mastercard), Skrill and Neteller, with credit cards barred as UK law requires. The minimum deposit is £10; the minimum withdrawal is £1, which the terms explain covers the administrative cost of processing, and the operator covers the payment systems’ commission in both directions. Withdrawals are returned via the deposit method. Make a deposit through TrueLayer’s instant banking, and the help centre commits to instant withdrawals. Every other route is handled within two working days by a payment desk that works 9am to 6pm.
The extended terms are equally friendly. Customer funds sit in a dedicated segregated client account, and the terms name the Commission’s medium protection tier outright, linking to the official explanation of what that means on insolvency. Daily payout ceilings are printed by sport: £100,000 on top-flight football leagues, £50,000 on UK and Irish racing with a full official service, £25,000 on other sports and £10,000 on overseas racing without one. An account takes 365 days of inactivity to become dormant, and the operator’s first move is to try to return your balance to your last payment method; only 30 days after that attempt does a £2 monthly fee begin, and logging in at any point ends it. The one potentially sticky gate worth knowing about is verification: the terms make completed identity checks a precondition of withdrawal, and as the reputation section shows, that gate is where this bookmaker’s complaints live.
Support and complaints
Support runs on email, info@copybet.com, printed in the footer of every page, plus a help centre widget on the site; there’s no customer support phone number. The dispute resolution page commits to processing queries within one business day and sets out the escalation process: if a complaint deadlocks, you request a Deadlock Email with a reference number and take the case to IBAS, the Independent Betting Adjudication Service, free of charge, and the general terms make a resolution reached with IBAS binding on both sides. GAMSTOP, GamCare, GambleAware (months after its closure), Gordon Moody and TalkBanStop all appear in the footer, alongside membership marks for the Betting and Gaming Council and the International Betting Integrity Association.
CopyBet’s reputation: where the minimalism stops being charming
CopyBet’s Trustpilot rating stands at 2.2 from 577 reviews, with 73% at one star against 15% at five, on a profile the company has held since 2021. The dominant complaint is consistent and specific: accounts frozen for verification immediately after sign-up or deposit, with money inaccessible while checks run. One reviewer in August 2026 described depositing £2,500 on a Saturday morning before Ascot and having the account frozen within seconds; another, writing on 25 August 2026 and describing himself as nearly 80, refused a repeat verification request and was blocked with a winning bet outstanding. A review posted the day this review was written makes the worst claim of all for a tipster platform: that topping the weekly leaderboard brought stake restrictions within a day and removal from the board. These are player stories, not confirmed findings, but the pattern across them is the point.
The full record has softer edges. The company replies to 97% of negative reviews, some marked resolved, though typically within a month rather than days, and the app’s Google Play rating sits at a kinder 3.4 from 437 reviews. For the sake of completeness, the first page of Google search results for the brand notes that nine results were removed under three separate legal requests logged with the Lumen database. I can’t confirm who filed them or why; I note only that the public record you can see is not the whole of the public record there once was.
What I like, and what I don’t
What I like
- Best odds guaranteed all day, every day on UK and Irish racing, with no start-time small print.
- A £1 minimum withdrawal, no payment fees either way, and instant withdrawals on TrueLayer deposits.
- A dormancy clause that tries to return your money before any fee starts, at £2 a month when it does.
- A clearly explained dispute route ending at binding IBAS adjudication, free to the player.
What I don’t
- A 2.2 Trustpilot rating whose central theme, frozen accounts at verification, is a gambler’s biggest irritation.
- No welcome offer, while the company’s own Trustpilot profile still advertises the withdrawn one.
- Email-only support with no phone, and a payment desk that keeps office hours.
- The strongest offers reward daily sign-ins, a loyalty mechanic dressed in minimalist clothes.
My CopyBet sister sites verdict: an original idea, but a niche product
The design brief for CopyBet was admirable, and the site largely delivers: a licensed London bookmaker that builds its own software, runs one product, uses some of the friendliest banking terms in British betting, and refuses to play the sign-up-bonus game at all. If everything worked as the terms say, this would be an easy site to recommend to the serious, daily, racing-first bettor its designers clearly imagine. The player review record is what stops me. A 2.2 Trustpilot score built on frozen-at-verification stories, and a claim that leaderboard success attracts restrictions, describes friction aimed at exactly the engaged bettor the product courts, and with no sister sites there’s no second brand to look to for corroborating evidence.
So my recommendation is split. If the copy-betting layer is what interests you, there’s nothing licensed in Britain quite like it, and the all-day best odds guarantee is a real reason for a racing bettor to open an account here, funded through TrueLayer where withdrawals are instant. For the a main betting account, the alternatives above are capable of more: BetUK for the same minimalist approach with a welcome offer and a network behind it, Betfair if the data-first instinct runs deep enough to want the exchange, William Hill and Betfred for breadth and heritage CopyBet doesn’t even pretend to offer.
CopyBet sister sites FAQ: your questions answered
What are CopyBet’s sister sites?
There aren’t any. Copybet UK Limited’s Gambling Commission licence, account 53774, lists exactly one domain, copybet.com, and one trading name. The closest licensed comparisons are alternatives on separate licences: Betfair, William Hill, Betfred and BetUK.
Who owns CopyBet?
Copybet UK Limited, company 10949712, incorporated in London in September 2017. Companies House records Vitaly Avtaykin, a Cypriot national, as holder of over 75% of shares since 2019, with British director Mark Smith appointed in August 2025.
Does CopyBet have a welcome offer?
No. The help centre states the old bet-£20-get-£20 free bet “is not currently available and cannot be accessed or claimed”. New and existing customers get the same standing deals: daily Profit Boosts, the ACCA Booster and best odds guaranteed on racing.
How does copy betting work at CopyBet?
A Signals feed shows ranked tipsters’ open bets as they’re placed. You can follow a tipster free or by paid subscription, receive notifications of each bet, and copy with your stake scaled by a coefficient. A weekly leaderboard ranks tipsters by net profit, with small cash prizes for the top three.
Is CopyBet safe for UK players?
Structurally, yes: it’s licensed by the Gambling Commission with no regulatory actions, GAMSTOP applies, customer funds sit segregated at the medium protection tier, and IBAS rulings bind the operator. Its Trustpilot rating is poor at 2.2, with verification friction the dominant theme, so keep balances low and verify early.
