VBET casino review: our verdict

Our VBET casino review verdict: VBET is a large international betting brand with a UK casino, a sportsbook and a simple casino welcome offer of 50 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza for £10 of play, with no wagering on the winnings. The licence holder agreed a £337,631 settlement with the Gambling Commission in 2023 over failings in 2020 and 2021, and sources disagree on whether a promo code is needed. The casino is a side product to a sportsbook-led brand.

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.

VBET 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.

VBET casino welcome offer

The VBET casino welcome offer for UK players is currently 50 Free Spins, No Wagering. Opt in, deposit and play £10, and 50 spins on Big Bass Bonanza are credited, with no wagering on the winnings. One source lists a promo code for the offer, another says opting in is enough. Check the terms for the spin value and expiry.

A separate sports welcome offer gives free bets, and one source lists a combined deal of £10 in free bets plus 20 spins. You can usually claim only one welcome offer, so choose before you deposit.

Is VBET legit?

Yes, VBET is legit in the UK. VBET UK is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission to SCGO Limited, account 44662, which you can check on the public register. The licence requires VBET 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 regulatory settlement of £337,631 over anti-money laundering and player protection failings between October 2020 and June 2021, with extra conditions added to the licence. Press coverage named the VBET operator at the time as Vivaro Limited; the register now lists SCGO Limited. The amount is below the level at which our scoring rule lowers the licence score.

Who owns VBET?

VBET's UK site is run by SCGO Limited, which also holds licences in other countries, including Sweden. VBET is an international brand that operates in many markets with different licences and rules, which is why search results often describe offers that do not apply in the UK. UK players deal only with the UK licence holder.

VBET sister sites

VBET sister sites on the same UK licence are ArrowBet, BrotherBets, Dafabet, HighBet and Lucky Tiger. Several are white labels for partners. They share the licence holder's safer gambling systems, so a self-exclusion with the operator covers all of them. The full list is on our SCGO sister sites page.

VBET casino games

The VBET casino has slots from the large UK studios, including Big Bass Bonanza, plus jackpots, 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.

VBET sport

VBET is best known for its sportsbook, with football, tennis, esports and other markets, plus in-play betting. One account covers sport and casino, so your deposit limit applies to both. Plan your budget for each before you play.

VBET withdrawal time and payments

We have not verified the VBET 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.

VBET app

We could not confirm a native VBET app for UK real money play in the UK app stores. VBET apps for other countries are separate. The UK site works in your phone's browser.

What the welcome offer is worth

Fifty spins at 10p are £5 in stakes, with an expected return of about £4.80 on a slot returning around 96%, paid as cash with no wagering. The qualifying £10 of play costs about 40p on average. It is a small, clean offer for players who mainly want to try the casino side of a sportsbook.

VBET UK and VBET abroad

VBET operates in many countries, and reviews, bonus codes and apps online often refer to those markets. Regulators elsewhere have also taken action against the brand, including a warning in the Netherlands in 2025. Only the UK site, licensed by the Gambling Commission, is covered here.

VBET terms worth reading

Before you deposit, read the opt-in or code step, the games that count towards the £10, the spin value and expiry, and the rule on claiming one welcome offer.

Opening a VBET account

Registration asks for your personal details and runs an automatic identity check. If more is needed, you will be asked for photo ID and proof of address.

VBET customer support

Support is available through live chat and email from the help centre.

Who VBET suits

VBET suits sports bettors who want a casino on the side with a wager-free spins offer. Players who want a casino-first site should look elsewhere.

VBET free spins and quick answers

VBET free spins. The UK welcome offer pays 50 spins on Big Bass Bonanza after you opt in and play £10, with no wagering on the winnings. Sources disagree on whether a promo code is needed, so check the promotion page before you deposit.

VBET casino UK. The UK site runs under a UK Gambling Commission licence and follows UK rules, including the £5 slot stake limit and GamStop. VBET sites in other countries have different offers and terms, and they do not apply to UK players.

Does VBET have a sportsbook too? Yes. The casino and the sportsbook sit on the same site, but each welcome offer has its own terms, and you can usually claim only one of them.

Is the 2023 settlement a reason to avoid VBET? It was below the level that lowers our licence score, but read the details in the licence section before you decide.

Safer gambling at VBET

VBET offers deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion. For a block on every UK site, use GamStop. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and confidential.

VBET casino vs similar sites

VBET is usually compared with other sportsbooks that run a UK casino. Here is how it compares with three of them.

VBET vs Casiku. Casiku gives 50 wager-free spins on Big Bass Splash, but only after £50 of slot play.

VBET vs Royale500. Royale500 gives 100 spins on Big Bass Bonanza for a £10 deposit, at 10× wagering over 30 days.

VBET vs Casino Kings. Casino Kings gives 100 spins on Big Bass Bonanza for £20, with spin winnings capped at £30.
