Who owns LiveScore Bet?
LiveScore Bet is operated by LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, a company registered in Gibraltar at 3.01 World Trade Center, 6 Bayside Road, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA. For UK customers, the operator holds a remote gambling licence from the UK Gambling Commission under account number 56859, covering casino, general betting on real events, and general betting on virtual events. All three permissions have been active since 19 June 2020. The company also holds Gibraltar Remote Gambling Licences RGL 122 and RGL 123, issued by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. This dual-licence setup — UKGC for the domestic market plus Gibraltar for the wider operating structure — is common among operators with a Gibraltar-based corporate presence and a UK-facing consumer brand.
The operating company sits within LiveScore Group Limited, which itself forms part of the wider Anzo Group. The primary shareholder behind the group is Noel Hayden, the founder of Gamesys, whose background in online gaming operations predates the LiveScore acquisition. Swiss media company Ringier AG holds a minority stake in the group following a £50 million investment made in 2022, a deal that brought additional media and content distribution capability to the LiveScore ecosystem, which began life as a football live-scores app before expanding into sports betting and casino products.
Understanding this ownership structure matters for anyone trying to identify LiveScore Bet's genuine sister sites, because the LiveScore name is used across several distinct products — the original scores and news app, the sportsbook, and a casino sub-brand — that are not all separate gambling operators in the regulatory sense. Some of these are simply features within the same licensed platform rather than standalone entities with their own accounts and licences.
How we identified genuine sister sites
Sister-site status was assessed using three primary criteria. First, we required shared corporate ownership under the same ultimate parent, LiveScore Group Limited, operating within the Anzo Group. Second, we required confirmation of a valid and active UKGC remote gambling licence for each brand under consideration, checked against the UKGC public register. Third, we required corroboration across at least two independent sources before including any brand in this guide.
The UKGC public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk was the primary reference point for licence numbers and account holder names. LiveScore Bet's own Terms and Conditions page and About Us footer were used to confirm the operating entity and the Gibraltar licences. Only brands with documented corporate lineage back to LiveScore Group Limited were included in the sites list below. Brands mentioned on third-party affiliate pages as merely 'similar' or 'alternative' betting sites — including bet365, BetMGM, BetVictor, or DAZN Bet — were deliberately excluded, because being a competitor or a partner integration is not the same as being under common ownership. DAZN Bet, in particular, has been referenced by at least one source as part of a wider LiveScore ecosystem following a 2023 integration, but this has not been confirmed as operating under the same UKGC licence holder, so it does not appear in the verified list.
This conservative approach means the list below is short. Readers used to sister-site guides for larger groups such as those covering Ladbrokes sister sites or William Hill sister sites, where portfolios can stretch to a dozen or more brands, will notice LiveScore Group's structure is far more compact. That is a deliberate feature of how the group is run, not a gap in our research.
Confirmed sister site: Virgin Bet
Virgin Bet is the sole confirmed sister site to LiveScore Bet within the LiveScore Group Limited / Anzo Group portfolio. It launched in 2019 as a UK-focused flagship sportsbook, operating under a brand licence from Virgin Enterprises Limited, meaning the Virgin name is licensed for use rather than owned outright by the betting operator. Virgin Bet holds a UKGC remote betting licence under account number 54310, alongside Gibraltar gambling licences consistent with the group's regulatory footprint. This licence number is cited by at least one independent review source and is attributed to the Virgin Bet / LiveScore Group entity, though it was not independently re-verified from the UKGC primary register page within this specific research sweep, so readers should treat it as reported rather than freshly primary-sourced at time of writing.
Virgin Bet's sportsbook runs on the Kambi platform, the same third-party sports betting technology provider used by LiveScore Bet. This shared infrastructure explains why odds formatting, bet-builder tools, and live-scoring integration feel broadly similar across both sites, even though the brands are marketed very differently — one carries LiveScore's data-driven, stats-heavy identity, the other trades on Virgin's consumer lifestyle branding. The Kambi partnership was confirmed via a press release from the platform provider in October 2023, alongside independent betting review coverage.
Despite the shared technology and shared ultimate ownership, Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet are operated as fully separate consumer-facing products. Accounts, balances, KYC verification records, and bonus histories are kept entirely separate between the two brands. This means a player who has never previously registered at Virgin Bet remains eligible for its welcome offer even if they already hold an active, long-standing LiveScore Bet account — and the reverse is also true. There is no shared wallet, no cross-brand loyalty scheme, and no automatic account linking between the two.
Virgin Bet does not carry a casino product of comparable size or depth to LiveScore Bet's casino and Vegas offering. It is primarily positioned as a sportsbook, with some casino-style features layered in, rather than a dual-strength sportsbook-and-casino operation. Players who value a broad slots and live-dealer library alongside sports betting are likely to find LiveScore Bet's own casino section, or its LiveScore Vegas sub-brand, more developed than anything currently available at Virgin Bet.
Responsible gambling tools at Virgin Bet mirror those found at LiveScore Bet, which is expected given both operate under UKGC oversight. Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, and GamStop self-exclusion are all available. Because GamStop operates as a national, cross-operator self-exclusion scheme, a player who self-excludes via GamStop is excluded from both LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet simultaneously, along with every other UKGC-licensed gambling site in the UK.
LiveScore Vegas: sub-brand, not a separate sister site
LiveScore Vegas is worth addressing directly because it appears in several third-party sister-site databases as though it were an independent brand, when in reality it is the casino arm of the LiveScore Bet platform itself. It operates on the same livescorebet.com domain and is run by the same operating company, LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, under the same primary UKGC licence account number, 56859. No additional or separate UKGC licence is required for LiveScore Vegas to operate, because it is a product section within the existing licensed platform rather than a distinct legal entity.
The casino section marketed as LiveScore Vegas offers slots, live dealer tables, and instant-win games sourced from well-known studios including Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and Playtech. The live casino carries recognisable Evolution titles such as Lightning Roulette and Infinite Blackjack, giving the platform a reasonably strong live-dealer presence compared with some standalone sportsbook-first operators. Players who already hold a LiveScore Bet account access LiveScore Vegas using the exact same login credentials, with no separate registration, deposit account, or KYC process required — it is, functionally, one product with two marketing names.
We include LiveScore Vegas in this guide specifically because it is listed separately in some industry databases and marketed under its own distinct 'Vegas' identity, which understandably causes confusion for players trying to map out the LiveScore Group's actual sister-site structure. For clarity: it is not a sister site in the sense that Virgin Bet is. It shares an account, a licence, and a domain with LiveScore Bet, whereas Virgin Bet is a genuinely separate registered product under common ownership.
Comparison table: LiveScore Bet and its sister site
| Brand | Licence Type | Licence Number | Safety Index | Core Product | Relationship to LiveScore Bet |
|---|
| LiveScore Bet | Dual | 56859 | High | Sportsbook and casino | Primary brand |
| Virgin Bet | Dual | 54310 | High | Sportsbook-led, limited casino | Confirmed sister site, separate account and licence, shared parent group |
| LiveScore Vegas | Dual | 56859 | High | Casino, live dealer, slots | Sub-brand of LiveScore Bet, same licence and account, not a separate entity |
The table above illustrates the key structural point of this guide: only Virgin Bet qualifies as a genuinely separate sister site with its own account infrastructure. LiveScore Vegas sits inside the same regulatory envelope as LiveScore Bet itself.
Licence and safety review
Both LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet hold dual licensing arrangements, combining a UKGC remote gambling licence with Gibraltar-issued permissions. This dual structure is standard for Gibraltar-headquartered operators serving UK customers and does not indicate any additional risk — the UKGC licence is the operative regulatory framework for UK-based players regardless of where the parent company is registered. Both brands carry a High safety index rating in this review, reflecting active UKGC oversight, segregated player funds, and participation in GamStop.
No regulatory actions have been recorded against LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited as of the time of this review, according to independent regulatory tracking. This is a relevant data point for players weighing up operator reliability, since UKGC enforcement action — fines, licence conditions, or public statements of failing — is a matter of public record and would be visible on the regulator's own site if it existed.
Player funds at LiveScore Bet are held in segregated accounts in line with UKGC requirements, meaning customer deposits are kept separate from the operator's own operational funds. This is a standard consumer protection measure across all UKGC-licensed operators and applies equally to Virgin Bet as a fellow UKGC licence holder.
Bonus terms and caveats
LiveScore Bet's own welcome offers and Virgin Bet's welcome offers are structured differently and should not be assumed to be interchangeable, despite common ownership. Virgin Bet's current headline offer is a 'Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets' promotion, split between a £20 sportsbook free bet and a £10 Bet Builder free bet, with a minimum odds requirement of 1/2 and the initial stake not returned. As with all welcome offers, players should read the full terms before opting in, since wagering requirements, qualifying bet types, minimum odds, and expiry windows can change without much notice and headline summaries do not always capture every exclusion.
LiveScore Vegas, being the casino section of the main LiveScore Bet platform, carries its own promotional mechanics distinct from the sportsbook welcome offer — for example, a 'Spend £10 on slots, Get 100 Free Spins' promotion tied to a specific game such as King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas Jackpot King, with a 10p spin value, a requirement to accept spins via an in-platform pop-up within 24 hours, and a 3-day expiry window once credited. New members only restrictions typically apply. Because this is a casino promotion within the same account as any existing sportsbook activity, it does not require a separate registration, unlike Virgin Bet's offer.
A general point of caution for anyone tempted to treat LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet as a single pool of bonus opportunity: operators specifically design KYC and bonus-abuse detection systems to catch players attempting to exploit shared ownership for repeated sign-up bonuses using the same personal details, payment methods, or devices. Since Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet maintain separate account systems and separate bonus eligibility checks, using the same identity to register at both is generally permitted precisely because they are legally distinct products — but this should not be confused with an invitation to create duplicate accounts within either individual brand, which remains against both operators' terms.
Payment methods and account notes
LiveScore Bet accepts deposits via Visa and Mastercard debit cards, PayPal, and other standard e-wallet and bank transfer options common to UK-facing operators. Deposits are typically processed instantly, and the minimum deposit accepted is £5. According to reviewed sources, LiveScore Bet processes withdrawals internally within 24 hours, although the actual time funds take to reach a player's bank account or e-wallet depends on the payment method used and the receiving institution's own processing times. In line with UK Gambling Commission rules, credit cards are not accepted for gambling transactions on LiveScore Bet or any UKGC-licensed operator.
Virgin Bet supports the same core payment methods as LiveScore Bet — Visa, Mastercard debit, and PayPal — which is unsurprising given the shared parent group and broadly similar target market. Players should still verify current payment options, deposit limits, and withdrawal timescales directly on each site before relying on this summary, as available methods and processing times are subject to change and are not always updated simultaneously across sister brands.
Mobile access at both LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet is provided through responsive mobile web platforms alongside dedicated apps, reflecting the mobile-first betting habits of most UK sports bettors. Given the shared Kambi sportsbook infrastructure, the in-play betting experience, bet-builder tools, and live-score integration feel structurally similar across both apps, even though the visual branding differs substantially between LiveScore's data-led design and Virgin's more lifestyle-oriented presentation.
Responsible gambling controls across the group
As a UKGC-licensed operator, LiveScore Bet is required to provide a full suite of safer gambling tools. These include deposit limits that can be set daily, weekly, or monthly and which take effect immediately when a player chooses to reduce them, loss limits, session time reminders, reality checks that appear during extended play sessions, and full self-exclusion options. LiveScore Bet supports GamStop, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, which simultaneously excludes a registered player from every UKGC-licensed gambling operator in the country — this includes Virgin Bet, since it too holds a UKGC licence.
Players seeking additional support can access external organisations including GamCare, BeGambleAware, and Gambling Therapy, all of which are typically linked from the footer or help section of UKGC-licensed betting sites. Because these tools and support pathways are a regulatory requirement rather than a brand-specific feature, players should expect broadly equivalent responsible gambling functionality whether they are using LiveScore Bet or Virgin Bet, even though the visual presentation of these tools within each app may differ.
What this means if you already hold a LiveScore Bet account
For a player who already holds a LiveScore Bet account and is considering trying Virgin Bet, the practical takeaway is straightforward: they are separate products requiring separate registration, separate identity verification, and separate deposits. There is no cross-brand loyalty scheme, no shared balance, and no automatic perks for holding accounts at both. The main advantage of the shared ownership, from a player's perspective, is consistency in underlying sportsbook technology — both run on Kambi — which means bet types, in-play markets, and cash-out mechanics will feel familiar to anyone moving between the two.
Anyone specifically interested in casino games rather than sports betting is better served exploring LiveScore Bet's own casino section, marketed as LiveScore Vegas, since Virgin Bet's casino offering is comparatively limited. Because LiveScore Vegas sits inside the existing LiveScore Bet account, there is no additional sign-up step required for an existing customer to try it.
Brands excluded from this guide, and why
Several brands are occasionally mentioned alongside LiveScore Bet in third-party 'similar sites' or 'alternative sites' articles, but were deliberately excluded from the verified sister-sites list here because they do not meet the ownership and licence-corroboration standard applied in this review. DAZN Bet has been referenced by at least one source as part of a wider LiveScore ecosystem following a 2023 integration, but this has not been confirmed as operating under the same UKGC licence holder, so it is excluded pending clearer primary-source confirmation. Larger UK operators such as bet365, BetMGM, BetVictor, and other well-known sportsbooks are sometimes grouped with LiveScore Bet purely because they compete in the same market or offer similar promotions — this is not evidence of shared ownership and such brands are not part of the LiveScore Group / Anzo Group corporate structure.
This is a markedly different situation to some of the UK's larger multi-brand gambling groups, where dozens of skins or white-label sites can share a single underlying platform and licence. Readers comparing the LiveScore Group's structure against, for example, Betfred sister sites or Coral Casino sister sites, will notice those groups typically carry a longer list of verified associated brands, reflecting years of acquisitions, mergers, and white-label partnerships that LiveScore Group has not pursued to the same extent.
According to sister-site tracking sources reviewed for this article, only one active domain — livescorebet.com — operates under LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, with no additional white-label domains identified under that specific licensed entity. This supports the view that the group's UK-facing footprint is intentionally narrow: one core sportsbook-and-casino platform, plus one genuinely separate sister sportsbook in Virgin Bet.
Verdict
LiveScore Bet's sister-site network in the UK is small and easy to summarise accurately: Virgin Bet is the only confirmed, independently licensed sister brand under the same LiveScore Group Limited / Anzo Group ownership. LiveScore Vegas, while marketed with its own identity, is a casino sub-brand operating within LiveScore Bet's existing account and licence rather than a separate sister site. Both LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet carry High safety ratings in this review, hold active UKGC licences, and provide equivalent responsible gambling protections, including GamStop participation and segregated player funds. Players switching between LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet should expect a familiar Kambi-powered sportsbook experience but must treat each brand's account, KYC process, and welcome offer as entirely independent of the other.
