Launched at the start of 2024, NRG Bet is a new bookie on the market but the product will look very familiar to some punters. This is because NRG Bet is owned and operated by Sharedbet Limited, which is part of the Playbook Gaming Limited empire. The latter is known for white-label services but it actually owns NRG Bet, as is the case with Rhino Bet.
Sharedbet Limited is licensed and regulated by the UKGC under account number 63635, and this company also used to host Rhino Bet. The latter has since been moved to the Playbook licence, but indirectly remains under the same ownership as NRG Bet. In short, those of you who are familiar with Playbook Gaming will have understood by now that there are several sister sites.
NRG Bet relies on the strong foundation of Playbook Gaming, which comes with several pros. These include familiarity and comprehensive offerings on both the sports and casino front. On the flip side, the bookie certainly looks very templated and this might put off punters who are looking for something different, and not what is essentially the same product.
The promotions for existing customers also aren't great, while the welcome offer is just decent, and some luxury features found on the best betting sites are missing. The fact that it's new weighs heavily, though, so we expect many punters to sign up even if the product isn't always the best. It's still decent, just not the best.

Below, we review each of NRG Bet sister sites and as they are fundamentally the same product, we focus on the differences between them.
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 sports 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 even on our list of ones to avoid 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. In our opinion, 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 since.
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 BresBet, 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 £10 in free bets up for grabs, but this welcome offer 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.
