Virgin Bet UK review: UKGC-licensed (54310) sportsbook from LiveScore Group, with Bet Builder, football payout offers and sports plus casino in one app.
We haven't finished our hands-on test of Virgin Bet yet, so there's no score. Everything below comes from regulator records, Virgin Bet's own published information and the sources linked on this page.
Who runs Virgin Bet
Virgin Bet launched in 2019 and is now run by LiveScore Group. The group also operates LiveScore and LiveScore Bet. LiveScore Group Limited is named as the parent company, and the Virgin name and logo are trade marks of Virgin Enterprises Limited, used under licence.
The group's own timeline says it moved its sportsbook to Kambi in July 2024, and that Virgin Group became a shareholder in October 2024. It also says Virgin Bet launched in South Africa, with licences issued in 2026, though that is a separate market from the UK.
Licensing and safety
Virgin Bet Limited holds UK Gambling Commission account 54310 and runs on its own account rather than sharing one with another brand. The group describes the operating company as based in Gibraltar and licensed by both the Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar regulator.
For a UK player, the Gambling Commission licence is the one that matters. As with every licensed operator, you can register with GAMSTOP at gamstop.co.uk to block access to gambling accounts.
Sports and betting features
The iOS app listing highlights football, with major leagues such as the Premier League and Champions League, pre-match and in-play markets, stats and live scoreboards. It also covers tennis and other sports, and you can build accumulators on the bet slip.
The football promotions it names are Bet Builder, Sub Payout, 2Up Payout and Super Boosts. Cash out and streaming are not listed in the app description.
Offers and promotions
The listing mentions Daily Free Games, which it says need a £10 deposit to play, and a game called Virgin Bet Fives. It also names casino spin offers, cash drops and tournaments.
Check the current welcome offer and its terms on the Virgin Bet site before you sign up, because offers change often.
Payments and withdrawals
Check the cashier for payment methods and withdrawal times. The app listing mentions a £10 deposit for Daily Free Games.
App store reviews are mixed. One user praises smooth deposits and withdrawals while another describes a long verification process that delayed a payout. Those are single accounts, but they are a reason to upload your documents early.
App and support
Sportsbook and casino are in one app, rated 4.7 from about 19,000 ratings on iOS, which needs iOS 15 or later. The developer is Virgin Bet Ltd, and there is also an Android app. The listing links to GamCare and tells users to bet only what they can afford.
Check the site for support hours and channels.
Who it suits
Virgin Bet suits football-focused bettors who like payout-style offers, and people who want sport and casino in one app. If you need to check specific payment methods or withdrawal times, look at the cashier before you sign up. We haven't finished our own hands-on test yet.
