New bookies are launching all the time, at least so it seems, and BetWright is definitely among the younger sites on the market. It came to life at the end of 2024, more specifically in December, as the owner Onyx Gaming Limited teamed up with the well-known casino and sportsbook provider Playbook Gaming.
It's a platform that many of you will recognise, as Playbook also works with the likes of AK Bets, PricedUp, StarSports and more. It's not just a recognisable platform, though, but also one that brings a lot of quality. In any case, BetWright has its own UKGC licence through Onyx Gaming Limited, registered under the account number 64666.
With it being such a new casino and betting site, you would think that the welcome offer would be one of the pros. Sadly, however, the bookie doesn't offer any bonus for new customers just yet, which is something we have also seen with other Playbook sites. Furthermore, it doesn't come across as a hugely ambitious site.
On the flip side, BetWright accepts deposits as low as £1 and the withdrawal time is incredibly fast, with the money arriving after just a few minutes in our test. These are two huge pros, you could argue, and the bookie could easily add a welcome offer in the future to match some of its sister. The overall verdict is thus that it's worth giving it a go.

Below, we have taken a closer look at three of BetWright's sister sites, focusing on the ones that have more in common with the bookie.
Seeing as the first thing that springs to mind when we think about BetWright is new, it makes sense to name another recent Playbook addition: NRG Bet. The site also launched in 2024, albeit early in the year, and has become a rather popular option since. Obviously, the fact that it's owned by Sharedbet Limited.
Sharedbet, in case you didn't know, is the customer-facing company of Playbook Gaming which also owns the brand PricedUp. In any case, NRG Bet does actually have welcome offers and just like its sisters, there is a very comprehensive casino as well as sportsbook on offer. There is also an app to download, which is a huge advantage.
AK Bets is one of our favourite Playbook bookies for many reasons, including the fact that it has been around for many years now. Not to mention that it started out as an on-course bookie before adding the online part of the business. With many price boosts and generous odds, there is a lot to like.
The presence on social media is very nice, with the founder himself (Anthony Kaminskas) posting a lot of content around big events and so on. The customer support, in turn, is impressive and very helpful indeed. The site has secured a UKGC licence of its own as well so it should only get better from here.
Returning to another relatively new Playbook site, we have opted for Gentleman Jim as the final pick. The bookie is run by the Lovell Brothers, who also run DragonBet, and there is a clear theme on the site to offer something different from others. It will likely never become a very big brand, but it has a purpose nevertheless.
The sportsbook is comprehensive, like all Playbook sites, and the £1 minimum deposit is very nice indeed. Similarly to AK Bets, as we mentioned above, there is also a family-feel to the site more so than the big brands in the UK. Some will adore these while, for others, priority might be having all the latest features.
