VBet is owned and operated by SCGO Limited in the UK. The bookmaker was founded in 2003 and entered the UK market in 2017, when the parent company SoftContruct decided to expand its betting division BetConstruct. Thanks to various sponsorships in the world of sports, VBet is now relatively well-known around the world, as well as in the UK.
Those who like the product will be happy to hear that VBet has quite a few sister sites. In addition to Dafabet and Highbet, which are operated by SCGO Limited under a white-label agreement, the likes of CopyBet and Hollywoodsbets have licensed the BetConstruct sportsbook. In other words, the sportsbooks look more or less identical on most of these sites, as well as the casino sections.
VBet has been on the scene for a very long time and as we all know, this is more often than not a very good sign when evaluating a betting site. BetConstruct has become a gambling giant since the launch and it's no surprise to see other bookies licensing the product. Personally, it's not my favourite but I can understand why some like it.
The bookie has two good welcome offers, which require no promo codes, and the overall quality of the sportsbook as well as the casino section is high. These things are enough to understand why some would want to sign up for sister sites, especially since a few of the bookies have just licensed the product (higher chance of different welcome offers).
Below, we review each of VBet's sister sites, including the sites that have licensed the product from BetConstruct. The sportsbooks are indeed very similar, so we have decided to focus on the differences instead.
CopyBet, while still considered by many as one of the new betting sites, actually launched before VBet in the UK (2016). It has gone from strength to strength since, mainly thanks to having one of the best welcome offers around, but the sportsbook also provides a certain guaranteed quality for new customers.
Having said all of this, while there is definitely potential here, there are some caveats. Winnings from the welcome offer free bets are capped at £500 each and it must be claimed using the Instant Banking payment method. Furthermore, we have encountered some lagging and slow loading times on the site before.
Hollywoodbets, just like VBet, has been around for a long time (2000) but entered the UK market relatively recently, launching there in 2019. It now uses the BetConstruct technology as CopyBet and it has become relatively popular. With the sports welcome offer being far from the best, more casino players have signed up than punters.
There are quite a few good promotions for existing customers, which is nice to see, but at the end of the day Hollywoodbets is very similar to VBet. But while punters might not see any huge reason to sign up on the site, casino players will probably see it differently thanks to the no wagering free spins.
Unlike the previous bookies mentioned, Dafabet is actually operated by SCGO Limited under a white-label agreement. Interestingly enough, the sportsbook does not appear to be provided by BetConstruct, which means it does not look the same as the others. We have never been fans of this bookie, though, and do not recommend joining.
