    About

    Launched in 1997, Sportingbet quickly established itself as a significant player in the burgeoning online gambling scene. Founded by Mark Blandford, the company initially operated as an independent entity and was even listed on the London Stock Exchange as part of the FTSE SmallCap Index. This period of independent growth and market presence eventually led to its acquisition by GVC Holdings, a move that marked a new chapter for the brand within a larger corporate structure.

    Today, Sportingbet operates under the ownership of Entain plc, a global leader in sports betting and gaming. While it no longer trades publicly as an independent company, the Sportingbet brand continues to offer a wide array of online betting services. It provides odds on over 90 different sports, alongside casino games, live casino experiences, and a selection of slot titles. The platform is recognized for its user-friendly interface, catering to both new and experienced bettors, and is particularly noted for its mobile betting options and extensive sports betting markets, with a strong focus on popular sports like soccer and tennis.
