Playbook Gaming casinos

Playbook Gaming casinos formerly included BetZone, BresBet, DragonBet, Planet Sport Bet, Rhino Bet, Vickers and YeeeHaaa under Playbook Gaming Limited’s UK licence account 50122. That operating licence was surrendered on 19 November 2025; BresBet, DragonBet and Planet Sport Bet now appear under separate current UK licence accounts, while the other former domains are not current Playbook Gaming sister sites.

Playbook Gaming sister sites: current status at a glance

The old seven-brand network no longer exists as one licensed family. The useful comparison today is between the three brands that moved to different licence holders and the four former sites that remain inactive on account 50122.

Playbook Gaming licence and operator clarity

Former consumer operator: Playbook Gaming Limited held account 50122. Every gambling permission on that account was surrendered on 19 November 2025, and all seven listed domains are inactive.

Current technology company: Playbook Engineering Limited still holds account 49787 for gambling software and betting/casino/bingo host activities. It has no consumer domains on that account. Its own website sells platform, trading, compliance, payment and KYC services to operators.

Regulatory record: account 50122 received a warning and £250,000 financial penalty in November 2025 for anti-money-laundering, customer-interaction and customer-identification failures covering August 2023 to August 2024. The surrender does not erase that record.

Who were Playbook Gaming Limited?

Playbook Gaming Limited was the consumer-facing licence holder behind the former network. It was incorporated in 2017 as GW Gaming Limited and adopted the Playbook name in 2021. The shared templates, sportsbook markets and casino integrations made the brands look and feel closely related while account 50122 was active.

What is Playbook Engineering Limited?

Playbook Engineering is the continuing business-to-business platform company. It describes a modular service covering player-account management, payment and KYC tools, sportsbook, casino, live casino, virtuals, promotions, CRM and managed services. That technical relationship should not be confused with current common ownership of BresBet, DragonBet or Planet Sport Bet.

The Playbook Gaming Limited Sites

Rhino Bet

Current status: closed in the UK and inactive on Playbook Gaming account 50122. The review below describes the former site.

Rhino Bet logo

Should you ever decide to flit between the various Playbook Gaming Limited iGaming sites in search of the one most deserving of your business, you’ll find that they have several design elements in common. You can pin that on the operator’s use of a fairly rigid template to put its sites together. It would, however, be a mistake to assume that using the same template means always getting the same content. There are several differences between the sites on this network – some significant and some not-so-significant.

The biggest selling point of Rhino Bet is also its biggest drawback in the eyes of some players – it’s a very streamlined site compared to the majority of its siblings. As nice as it would be to have a rhino mascot on the homepage waiting to greet new players, the site looks very plain. There aren’t as many sports to bet on here as you’ll find at some of the other Playbook Gaming sites, and there aren’t quite as many bonuses or betting options. There is, however, a casino section called “Rhino Reels,” which had been expanded shortly before this article was written. The quirk of Rhino Bet compared to the other Playbook sites is that it compiles Premier League football statistics, so if you’re a bit of a “statto” when it comes to football, this is where to look.

BetZone

Current status: inactive on account 50122, with no current Playbook licence to support the old offer. The review below is historical.

BetZone logo

BetZone has taken the full sports betting package that Playbook Gaming Limited offers. That means that if you can’t bet on a sporting matter at Betzone, you won’t be able to bet on it at any of the BetZone sister sites, either. In addition to the gargantuan selection of sports betting options, BetZone has also elected to take on board every slots and casino game that the operator has available. A couple of the other sites on the platform have made the same decision about maxing out their content, but it means you won’t find a bigger betting site on the Playbook platform than BetZone.

Just as Rhino Bet attempts to mark itself out as “different” by including its statistics section, BetZone has a “NewsZone” section that provides all the latest sporting news, all of which has been written specifically for the website. The news section also contains betting tips. If there’s a drawback to BetZone, it might be the fact that whoever designed it chose black and grey as a colour scheme. The net effect of this is that BetZone is a lot less interesting to look at than it should be.

BresBet

Current status: live under BresBet Ltd on account 65252. It is a former Playbook brand, not a current direct sister.

BresBet logo

BresBet is just as open to players who live in the UK as any of the other Playbook Gaming Limited iGaming sites, but we get the feeling from the way the site is laid out that the audience it’s most interested in might be based elsewhere. That would explain why horse racing and football have been deprioritised on the BresBet homepage in favour of sports like basketball. We don’t think BresBet is available in the United States of America, but it’s possible that it’s been formulated to chase players in other European nations.

Like Rhino Bet, BresBet is “stripped down” in terms of content when you compare it to the likes of BetZone, which offers a far more comprehensive version of the operator’s sportsbook. Little niche features like politics betting, which is available at BetZone, aren’t available here. Some players might prefer that, though – it can be frustrating wading through irrelevant betting option after irrelevant betting option in search of the content that you’re genuinely interested in, and that’s never likely to be a problem at BresBet thanks to its streamlined approach.

Planet Sport Bet

Current status: listed as a white-label domain under Planet Bet Ltd on account 65109. It no longer sits on the Playbook Gaming licence.

Planet Sport Bet logo

Planet Sports Bet is a name that’s likely to be familiar to a fair few of you. That’s because of its connection to Planet Sport. Even if you’ve never heard of Planet Sport directly, you might have heard of the media companies that operate under its umbrella, which include Football365 and TEAM Talk. Planet Sport Bet is the company’s official iGaming presence, and it says a lot of good things about Playbook Gaming Limited that it was the company that Planet Sport called upon when the powers that be within the business decided that the time had come to venture into the iGaming industry.

In keeping with the fact that this is a “celebrity” iGaming brand with connections to well-known sports media entities, Planet Sport Bet is one of the “fuller” betting sites on the Playbook Gaming network. It has access to around the same number of betting opportunities as BetZone and presents them with style. It also has a small welcome bonus, which is notable because such things are a rarity right across this platform. If anything, Planet Sport Bet might be guilty of attempting to do too much – the presence of the sportsbook, slots, and promotions on its homepage makes the whole thing look a little untidy.

Vickers

Current status: inactive on account 50122. The review below explains its former Playbook-era product.

Vickers logo

Technically speaking, the Playbook Gaming Limited iGaming network doesn’t have a flagship site. If it were to pick one, it would probably go with Rhino Bet on account of the fact that it’s the only site on the platform that the operator is one hundred per cent responsible for. If we were to denote a flagship site on the basis of how popular and well-known it is, though, Vickers would be the clear candidate. This well-known brand has been around for over four decades as a family business. It’s respected for being a horse racing specialist, and it’s adapted to the internet age like a duck to water.

Even with the “personal” touch that comes from the fact that the family business angle exists, Vickers looks very much like any of the other Playbook Gaming sites, with the only real difference being that it’s green. Content-wise, it’s a close match for Planet Sport Bet. It still leads with horse racing, but it doesn’t actually offer any horse racing betting opportunities that you won’t also find at BetZone or Planet Sport Bet. Still, the trustworthiness of the Vickers name might be the factor that makes the difference for some players.

Which former Playbook Gaming site should you choose?

For a currently licensed racing-led sportsbook: BresBet is the most direct continuation, but it now stands on its own licence and terms.

For Welsh sport and a more regional identity: DragonBet is active under DragonBet Ltd, not Playbook Gaming.

For broad football and sports-media coverage: Planet Sport Bet is the current white-label successor to compare.

For BetZone, Rhino Bet, Vickers or YeeeHaaa: do not rely on archived bonuses, cashier promises or old reviews. The domains are inactive on account 50122, so there is no current Playbook Gaming offer to assess.
