Betzone is owned by a company conveniently named Betzone, but the actual product on the site is operated by Playbook Gaming Limited. Right off the bat, we should say that we have never been big fans of these white-label sites as some of them are on our bookmakers blacklist. On the other hand, punters keep coming back so they must be doing something right.
Betzone was launched in 2021 and to its credit, the owners have been more proactive when it comes to making sure that customers are satisfied. A decent welcome offer has always been offered, unlike other PGL sites, and there is a clear will to do well even if the sportsbook is holding the brand back.
In any case, there are several Betzone sister sites and below, we will take a look at these. Once again, we have never been fans of the Playbook Gaming Limited sites and our stance has not changed, but it could be worth it still for some punters.
The bar is extremely low when speaking about Playbook Gaming Limited-powered betting sites, it cannot be overstated, but if we had to pick one it would be Rhino Bet. This sportsbook simply has to be 'decent' for PGL to survive as it is the only site owned by the company. A flagship product if you like, but then again the product is far from brilliant here too...
Below, we review each of Betzone sister sites and as they are fundamentally the same product, we focus on the differences between them.
Rhino Bet is the only site that Playbook Gaming Limited owns, and not just operates, and punters are right to expect a decent standard. That is exactly what they will find, decent, but nothing more than that as the sportsbook leaves a lot to be desired. There is a blog section which is nice, but it does not move the needle much.
The welcome offer is okay for a PGL site, with £10 credited in free bets if a new customer stakes £25. It is far from the best welcome offers in the UK and, in truth, just shows what PGL is all about at the end of the day. There are some price boosts every now and then, but the overall experience is underwhelming.
NRG BET is one of the newest betting sites in the UK, entering the market at the start of 2024, and it uses the Playbook Gaming platform. It's technically operated by Sharedbet Limited, and not Playbook Gaming like the other sites here, but these two companies are from the same people. In short, NRG BET is definitely a sister site of Betzone.
The sportsbook is exactly the same as the others (what a shocker!), but the best welcome offer of the bunch can be found here, at least in our opinion. Punters can claim a £10 free bet by depositing and staking at least £20 with minimum odds of evens. In other words, this is slightly better than Rhino Bet which gives the same free bet for staking £25.
BresBet was launched in 2021 and is owned by the horse racing enthusiast Nic Brereton. Having said that, the site is operated by Playbook Gaming and thus features the same design as its sister sites. The colour scheme is a bit more colourful but that is the only difference as far as the sportsbook goes.
The bookmaker is actually on our bookmakers blacklist as it suffers from a poor welcome offer - 50% of losses refunded on the first day - and a lack of customer support. The latter can be said for all of the Playbook Gaming sites, to be honest, but some are better than others. As we also stated in our review of BresBet, it is not worth signing up.
Dragonbet is owned by Lovell Brothers Limited and during its infancy, it was actually not operated by Playbook Gaming. After the previous provider was taken over by another company in 2023, though, Dragonbet opted to switch sportsbook providers and it has been under the Playbook umbrella site.
The bookmaker focuses heavily on the Welsh market and while this has attracted some punters, the site is not that impressive. The sportsbook lacks several key features and, above all, there is no betting offer for new customers to claim. Similarly to Dragonbet, we thus recommended other options instead in our review of the site.
Planet Sport Bet hit the market in 2021 and is owned by the Football 365 group, which is responsible for popular news sites such as Team Talk and Planet F1. The site is operated by Playbook Gaming and while famous people such as Robbie Savage have been brand ambassadors, the brand has never taken off.
The bookmaker used to have a pretty good bet £10 get £10 welcome offer for punters to claim, but it has since been scrapped. This lack of a betting sign-up deal, as well as the subpar sportsbook and poor customer support, means Planet Sport Bet has no chance of competing with the big sites in the UK.

New betting sites are often synonymous with welcome offers, as punters look to find deals they are yet to claim, but Betzone's sister sites are not the best for this purpose.
