PricedUp is a relatively new betting and casino site in the UK, hitting the market in 2024, and the brand is owned by Sharedbet Limited and operated by Off Course Bookmakers Limited (UKGC Licence: 1776). NRG Bet, another relatively new site, is also owned by the company so a lot of people will be familiar with the platform: Playbook Gaming.
Playbook Gaming is the company behind Sharedbet Limited and focuses on providing its sportsbook and casino platform to UK bookmakers. Clients include the likes of BresBet, Gentleman Jim and StarSports, so it's one of the most recognisable platforms in the country. This also means that PricedUp has several sister sites, and not just NRG Bet.
Since PricedUp is still so new, it might be difficult to pinpoint the exact pros and cons, especially since things might change in the coming months. However, it's clear that the Playbook Gaming platform does a lot of good for the bookie, with punters able to sign up and acclimatise quickly (especially if they have used another Playbook bookie before).
Then, of course, the price boosts have to be mentioned here. PricedUp is still far behind the best horse racing bookies in the UK, but an attempt is clearly being made to build some sort of community among racing punters. And often when you are such a small site, you simply have to pick a niche to succeed.

Below, we have taken a closer look at three of the PricedUp sister sites that we listed above, including NRG Bet which is also owned by Sharedbet.
NRG Bet has only been around for slightly longer than PricedUp, launching at the beginning of 2024, and you could definitely say that it's the new 'allround' brand of Sharebet. Especially after Rhino Bet ceased its operations, having previously been the flagship product of the company. So, how does the yellow-themed bookie stack up?
The £1 minimum deposit, now standard across the Playbook sites, is a great start and it must be said that the sportsbook offering is decent too. Betting margins could be a tad better, even if they aren't bad, and more payment methods will have to be added in the future. Still, it's a decent little brand.
AK Bets has been around since 2021 and similarly to PricedUp, its focus is on horse racing, having been founded by the racing enthusiast Anthony Kaminskas. The platform is obviously the same so there are many similarities between the two sites. The approach of AK Bets is something we really like.
In fact, the founder has made it clear that we aren't just talking about another 'churn and burn' bookie, but rather one that aims to stay for the long run. The popularity within the horse racing community attests to this, and the feeling is that AK Bets will go from strength to strength in the coming years.
Finally, we wanted to pick another site with a horse racing focus, albeit with slightly broader operations. StarSports is the perfect example here as while it started out as a racing bookie, great efforts have been made to widen the scope with the online version. Indeed, politics betting and odds have been pushed by the bookie.
In terms of navigation and style, very little separates StarSports and PricedUp, especially since they both have a dedicated section for price boosts. StarSports does have a separate page with news and tips, though, so it makes the star-themed bookie stand out a bit more than its Playbook competitors.
