HighBet casino review: our verdict

Our HighBet casino review verdict: HighBet is a bookmaker and casino that runs as a white label on the SCGO licence, the same licence as VBET. The casino welcome offer is 50 spins worth 10p each on Big Bass Splash for staking £10 on slots, with winnings paid as cash and no wagering. Sources disagree on whether the stake is £10 or £20, and the spins expire after five days. The licence holder agreed a £337,631 settlement in 2023.

This is a provisional review, based on the UK register, the published terms and public reporting. We will replace the score after our own test.

HighBet casino score breakdown

This is a provisional score, based on public information about the licence, offers, payments, games and apps. It will be replaced by a full score after our hands-on test. Weights and criteria are explained on how we score casinos.

HighBet casino welcome offer

The HighBet casino welcome offer is currently 50 Free Spins, No Wagering. Opt in, deposit and stake £10 on any slot, and 50 spins worth 10p each are added for Big Bass Splash. Winnings carry no wagering and are paid as cash. The spins expire if not used within 5 days. One source says they are credited within 24 hours and claimed from the Bonuses section; another says they are added automatically.

Two sources give a £20 qualifying stake on a single debit card deposit instead of £10. You must choose between the casino offer and the sports welcome offer when you register.

Is HighBet legit?

Yes, HighBet is legit. It is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission to SCGO Limited, account 44662, which you can check on the public register. The licence requires HighBet to verify every player, test its games, offer deposit limits and time-outs, and take part in GamStop. Complaints not resolved within eight weeks can go to the dispute service named in the terms.

In January 2023 the Gambling Commission announced a £337,631 regulatory settlement over anti-money laundering and player protection failings between October 2020 and June 2021. Press coverage named the VBET operator at the time as Vivaro Limited; the register now lists SCGO Limited as HighBet's licence holder. That is below the level at which our scoring rule lowers the licence score.

Who runs HighBet?

HighBet runs as a white label on the licence of SCGO Limited, the licence holder behind VBET. A partner supplies the brand, while the licence holder runs the games, payments and checks. Your account and any complaint are with the licence holder.

HighBet sister sites

HighBet sister sites on the same licence include ArrowBet, BrotherBets, Dafabet, Lucky Tiger and VBET. A self-exclusion with the operator covers every brand on the licence. The full list is on our SCGO sister sites page.

HighBet casino games

The casino has slots from the large UK studios, Megaways titles and jackpots, plus table games and a live casino. UK slot rules apply: a £5 maximum stake per spin, or £2 for players aged 18 to 24, and no autoplay or bonus buy.

HighBet sportsbook

HighBet also takes bets on football, racing and other sports, with in-play markets. A recent sports offer is described as bet £10, get £30 in free bets. You cannot combine it with the casino spins.

HighBet withdrawal time and payments

We have not verified the HighBet withdrawal time ourselves yet. The total time depends on the approval step and on your payment method. Payment methods we have confirmed are Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit; the cashier may list more. Your account must be verified before your first withdrawal.

HighBet app

We could not confirm a native HighBet app in the UK app stores. The site works in your phone's browser.

What the wager-free spins are worth

Fifty spins at 10p are £5 in stakes. On Big Bass Splash, which returns about 96% at its standard setting, they pay back about £4.80 on average, as cash. The £10 of qualifying slot play costs about 40p on average, so the offer is worth about £4.40, small but clean.

HighBet welcome offer: casino or sport?

The HighBet welcome offer comes in two forms, and you pick one when you register. The casino route gives the 50 wager-free spins on Big Bass Splash; the sports route has been bet £10, get £30 in free bets. If you mainly play slots, the spins are the simpler choice because their winnings are cash. If you mainly bet on football or racing, the free bets give more value, but you will not be able to claim the spins later.

HighBet quick answers

Do I need a HighBet promo code? Sources do not list one for the casino spins; you opt in when you register.

Is HighBet a sister site of VBET? Yes. Both run on the same licence.

Can I claim both welcome offers? No. You choose sport or casino at sign-up.

Why could the register crawler not reach HighBet? Our register data shows the site as unreachable from outside the UK, which is common for UK-only sites. Check the address before you log in.
