Read the review →PricedUp has one sister site, and it is Star Sports. Both are run from the same building in Hove, and the Gambling Commission’s register carries the two of them as separate accounts at one address: Star House, 255 Old Shoreham Road, BN3 7ED.
That is the whole family. There is no chain of a dozen lookalike casinos behind PricedUp, which makes it one of the smaller British betting groups we have looked at. Checked on 31 August 2026, here is what sits on each licence.

The two accounts, and why there are two
PricedUp’s own footer names its operator: “This site is operated by Off Course Bookmakers Limited (licence number 001776)”, with the Hove address printed underneath. That matches account 1776 on the register exactly.
Star Sports prints the same kind of line, with a different number: “Star Sports (licence number 009177)”. Account 9177 is Star Racing Limited, and the register gives its head office as Star House, 255 Old Shoreham Road, Hove, BN3 7ED. The same building.
| Off Course Bookmakers Ltd | Star Racing Ltd | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | 1776 | 9177 |
| Brand | PricedUp | Star Sports |
| Active domains | pricedup.bet | starsports.bet, starsportsbet.co.uk, starsportsbet.com, plus mobile.starsportsbet.com |
| Remote betting since | 29 September 2022 | 5 July 2010 |
| Casino and bingo since | 26 April 2024 | 1 June 2018 |
| Trading name “star sports” | Held, Inactive | Held, Active |
The detail in that last row is the useful one. Off Course Bookmakers still holds “star sports” as a trading name, marked Inactive. The two companies are close enough that the same trading name has been registered on both accounts, which is not something unrelated businesses do.
Star Sports is the older operation of the two online. It has held a remote betting licence since July 2010, where PricedUp’s account only added remote betting in September 2022 and casino games in April 2024. Off Course Bookmakers itself goes back further, holding a non-remote betting licence since the register began in 2009, which fits a business that started in betting shops and on racecourses.
What is actually on each site
PricedUp runs a full sportsbook with in-play, virtuals, casino, live casino and bingo sections, which lines up with the four remote licences on account 1776. As of 31 August 2026 the site is open to UK visitors and serves its full lobby.
Star Sports leads with racing and football content, and starsportsbet.com forwards to starsportsbet.co.uk. The betting itself sits on starsports.bet.
They are not the same product with two skins. Star Sports is built around racing, with named tipsters and a podcast; PricedUp is a broader sportsbook with a casino attached. Shared ownership does not mean a shared platform, which is a point our guide to what sister sites actually are keeps coming back to.
The three domains that left
Star Racing’s account also lists three Inactive domains, and each one is a brand that has gone somewhere else.
| Domain | Status on account 9177 | Where it is now |
|---|---|---|
| akbets.bet | Inactive | Active on Akbo Limited, account 66030, Dublin |
| ne-bet.com | Inactive | Listed as a White Label on ProgressPlay Limited, account 39335 |
| mcbookie.com | Inactive | Still resolving, not Active on any account we can find |
AK Bets is the interesting one. It was on the Star Sports licence and now runs on its own Irish company, which we have written up separately in AK Bets sister sites.
ne-bet.com moving onto ProgressPlay’s licence is a different kind of change. ProgressPlay runs a white-label network with more than a hundred brands on one permission, and was fined £1,000,000 in May 2025. Our Mr Slot review explains how that arrangement works from a player’s side.
What this means if you play at PricedUp
The short version: if you already have an account with PricedUp, opening one at Star Sports gets you a genuinely different sportsbook rather than the same site in new colours. That is worth more than it sounds, because most “sister sites” in this industry are one platform with the logo swapped.
Both sit on Active British licences, so both are inside GAMSTOP and both answer to the same complaints route if something goes wrong. Neither has a regulatory action recorded against it on the register.
One practical caution applies to any group like this: a self-exclusion you set with one operator does not automatically carry to the other, because they are separate licensees. GAMSTOP covers both, but an operator-level exclusion may not.
If gambling stops being fun, GAMSTOP, GamCare and Gamban are the places to start, and the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133.
Frequently asked questions
Does PricedUp have sister sites?
One. Star Sports, run by Star Racing Limited on account 9177, has its head office at Star House, 255 Old Shoreham Road, Hove, which is the same address the register gives for PricedUp's licensee, Off Course Bookmakers Limited on account 1776.
Who owns PricedUp?
Off Course Bookmakers Limited. The site's own footer says so: 'This site is operated by Off Course Bookmakers Limited (licence number 001776)', with the Hove address printed underneath.
Are PricedUp and Star Sports the same website?
No. They share an address and an owner but not a product. Star Sports is built around horse racing, with named tipsters and a podcast, while PricedUp is a broader sportsbook with casino, live casino and bingo attached.
Is PricedUp covered by GAMSTOP?
Yes. Off Course Bookmakers Limited holds Active British licences on account 1776, so PricedUp is inside GAMSTOP and inside the British complaints route.
What happened to AK Bets and McBookie?
Both are listed as Inactive domains on the Star Racing licence. akbets.bet is now Active on a separate account, 66030, held by Akbo Limited of Dublin. mcbookie.com still resolves but is not Active on any account we can find.
