BresBet is not taking bets. Its homepage still carries the notice that licence 65252 was suspended with effect from 28 August 2026. The Commission’s public register has since moved on: all four of the company’s remote licences were surrendered on 4 September 2026.

So the sister-site question has changed shape. BresBet Ltd never ran a second brand, and it has no other domains to move to. The sites people mean when they search for BresBet sister sites are its former stablemates from a different company, and those are still trading. Here is the whole picture, rechecked on 6 September 2026.

What the licence surrender means for money in your account

Surrender means BresBet Ltd no longer holds these remote licences. The register gives 4 September 2026 as the end date for its bingo, casino, real-event betting and virtual-event betting permissions. It publishes no reason for the surrender, and the account still lists no regulatory action.

What that leaves a customer with is the operator’s own inbox. The older notice on the site names support@bresbet.com and nothing else, and there is no lobby to log into behind it.

Both domains behave the same way. bresbet.co.uk answers with a 503 and hands you to bresbet.com, which serves the notice. There is no cashier, no account page and no live chat.

If you had a balance, the practical steps are the ordinary ones: email that address, keep a copy of what you send, and keep any screenshots or statements showing the balance. British licensees have to keep customer funds separate from their own, and the level of protection each one offers is published in its own terms. What that protection is actually worth is the part our guide to what British oversight buys you goes through.

The Commission's register on 31 August 2026. It then showed the suspension; the live register now records all four licences as surrendered on 4 September.

Does BresBet have sister sites?

Not under BresBet Ltd. Account 65252 lists two domain names, and both of them are BresBet. There are no trading names on the account at all, which is the register’s way of saying this company ran one brand.

That is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly, because most of the operators we write about hold anywhere from three to a hundred domains on a single permission. BetWright is one of the few others with a single live site.

But BresBet did not start on this licence, and that is where the sister sites come from.

Where BresBet came from

Until late 2025, bresbet.com sat on a licence belonging to Playbook Gaming Limited, account 50122, alongside six other betting brands. On 10 November 2025 the Commission fined Playbook Gaming £250,000 and issued a warning. Nine days later the company surrendered all six of its licences.

The brands scattered. BresBet took out its own licence in February 2025, ahead of the collapse, and the others went their separate ways. Those are the sites a search for BresBet sister sites is really reaching for, so here is where each of them stands today.

Former Playbook brand Today Licence
BresBet Offline BresBet Ltd, account 65252, four licences surrendered 4 Sep 2026
DragonBet Trading DragonBet Ltd, account 64908, Cardiff, three Active licences
Planet Sport Bet Trading Planet Bet Limited, account 65109, Harrogate, four Active licences
Vickers Trading, as Bet Vickers J R & S Leisure Ltd, account 66877, five Active licences
Betzone Closed None
rhino.bet No DNS record None
yeeehaaa.bet No DNS record None

These are not sister sites in the usual sense. They share a history rather than an owner, and each one now answers to a different company. That distinction matters if you are chasing a balance, because a complaint follows the licence, not the logo. Our guide to what sister sites actually are sets out the difference.

The BresBet name that is still licensed

One more BresBet exists, and it is not affected by any of this.

Account 20804, held by Gary Wiltshire, carries the Active trading name “bresbet on course” alongside “fairway bookmakers”. It is a non-remote General Betting (Limited) licence, held continuously since 13 May 2009, and it covers betting at racecourses rather than online.

So the racecourse pitch and the website are two different permissions held by two different licensees. The online company was suspended on 28 August 2026 and surrendered its licences on 4 September. Someone searching the register for BresBet will find both, and they are easy to mix up.

What to do now

If you have money with BresBet, email the address on the notice and keep records. Do not go looking for a mirror domain or an alternative address claiming to be the same brand; there is no second BresBet site, and anything presenting itself as one is not run by the licensee.

If you were simply looking for somewhere to bet, DragonBet, Planet Sport Bet and Bet Vickers are all trading on their own Active licences, and each is covered by GAMSTOP and by British complaint routes.

The register now records the surrender as the final status of account 65252. We will recheck the page if the company or either domain changes hands.

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

Is BresBet still open?

No. BresBet's own homepage carries a notice reading: 'The operating licence 65252 has been suspended by the Gambling Commission with effect from 28 August 2026.' Both bresbet.com and bresbet.co.uk are offline, and the Commission's register shows all four of the company's remote licences as Suspended on that date.

Does BresBet have sister sites?

Not under BresBet Ltd. Account 65252 lists two domain names, both of them BresBet, and no trading names at all. The company ran one brand.

How do I get my money back from BresBet?

The only contact route the operator gives is support@bresbet.com, which appears on the suspension notice. Email that address and keep a copy of what you send, together with any screenshots or statements showing your balance.

What happened to the other BresBet brands?

They were never BresBet's. Until late 2025 bresbet.com sat on the licence of Playbook Gaming Limited alongside DragonBet, Planet Sport Bet, Vickers, Betzone, rhino.bet and yeeehaaa.bet. DragonBet, Planet Sport Bet and Bet Vickers are trading today on their own separate licences.

Why is there still a BresBet on the Gambling Commission register?

Account 20804, held by Gary Wiltshire, carries the Active trading name 'bresbet on course'. That is a non-remote betting licence for racecourse betting, held since 13 May 2009, and it is a different licensee from the online company.
