Star Sports Sister Sites: Best Alternatives & Offers (2025)

AK Bets used to be operated by Star Racing Limited under a white-label arrangement, which makes it a very good pick here. Since the spring of 2025, the bookie has had a licence of its own but the site hasn't changed, with Playbook Gaming still providing the platform. In short, it's very similar to StarSports.

While StarSports has focused more on special markets, however, you could probably argue that AK Bets has been better in connecting with its audience. The founder is very active on the bookie's social media and you just get the feeling that the site is on top of things. The withdrawals are no different, being near-instant.

BestOdds is one of the new Playbook Gaming offerings, hitting the market in late 2025. Considering that Playbook provides a plug-and-play product, so to speak, the launch date doesn't really matter as the sportsbook is incredibly solid anyway. Of course, BestOdds has helped with the introduction of some promotions too.

StarSports has a slightly fancier look, with more advanced icons and styles, but it doesn't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. That said, BestOdds lacks special markets for TV shows and more, which has become a speciality (pun intended) of StarSports. In short, BestOdds still has some work to do even if it's very good already.

McBookie might not be the best site that Playbook Gaming has to offer, especially since the owner isn't really pushing the brand, but it warrants a mention here as it's operated by Star Racing Limited. This means that it uses the same licence as StarSports, which is what AK Bets used to do before.

In any case, the sportsbook is just what you would expect in terms of the design, depth and navigation. Promotions shine with their absence, though, and that once again ties back to the owner's decision not to push the brand. Those of you who are Scotland-based might find it interesting anyway, given the theme.
