New Bookmakers – Can They Be Trusted?

All of the new bookmakers on BettingLounge have valid gambling licenses from the UK Gambling Commission (although some are white label) and abide by the strict UKGC regulations. In general, yes, new betting sites with valid UKGC licenses are safe, legal, and secure, but, some new bookies still find ways to make it difficult for players, or break rules and receive fines from the UKGC.

However, this is not a new betting site problem, with many large operators in the industry receiving huge fines for questionable practices. In 2019, bookmakers paid over £19m in fines to the UKGC, and in recent years William Hill, Betway and Flutter Entertainment (Paddy Power & Betfair) have all paid massive fines to the UKGC.

Still, we display and review all of the newest betting sites to launch in the UK, but we do recommend caution when joining some new bookies. At the moment, we recommend reading our reviews before joining Infernobet, InterBet, SponsioBet, SwishBetCasino, BetSteve, and VStarBet.

Progress Play Limited offer a white label solution in which they provide all of the components for an online gambling site, including software, odds experts, customer service staff, payment solutions, etc. The white label solutions make it easier for entrepreneurs to start an online gambling site, which allows for a lot of “different” new online gambling sites. However, it is not possible to find information on the “true” owners of these sites, and they do not tend to stick around for the long term.

We know even the most trusted and established betting sites can rack up hundreds of bad reviews, but, we are concerned about the early player reviews coming from the new bookies operated by Progress Play Limited. Firstly, real players have been in contact with us to let us know that these sites have charged people for certain deposits, with one case charging an extra £300 in deposit charges.

“Appalling I deposited £300 and they went and duplicated the £300 by claiming an additional £300 which meant they took £600 out of my bank account im now in debt via charges”

We mention that all of the new bookies above charge “£2.50” per withdrawal in the reviews, but we did not experience any deposits fees, and are shocked to hear that it is happening to players. Also, all of the Progress Play Limited sites have extremely long withdrawal times with some taking a couple of weeks. For example, with Debit card withdrawals, there is a 3 business day pending time, 1 business day for processing, and 3-7 business days to receive the payment.

Now, it is too early to judge most of these new betting sites, and, is it not uncommon to see similar complaints and reviews on the biggest betting sites in the UK.

On the note of several bad reviews, Mr.Play currently has a 1.8 rating (out of 5) with 10 of our real player reviews. Some players have mentioned Mr.Play not awarding the £10 free bet sign up bonus, and issues with withdrawals and verification. We recommend reading our unbiased review, and the comments before joining Mr.Play.

Currently, these new bookmakers are not off to a good start, and we recommend joining more established “new betting sites” such as SportNation, MansionBet, and QuinnBet to name a few.
