GGBet informed players about closing UK services. The company gave up its Gambling Commission licences in early January.

GGBet is shutting down its UK operations after giving up its licences with the Gambling Commission earlier this month. They’ve told customers the closure is planned, not a surprise, and the process has already started. On its UK website, GGBet says it’s closing down in a careful, responsible way. The company ran its UK site through Rednines Gaming LTD, which held two licences, one for Casino, the other for Real Event Betting. GGBet surrendered both licences on December 13, exactly five years after first getting them. In their announcement, GGBet stresses this isn’t a sudden exit. They’re following a managed process, aiming to protect customers and wrap up any outstanding obligations before pulling the plug for good.

Customer Accounts and Withdrawals

GGBET.co.uk is going out of business while it still has a UK Gambling Commission license. We have a team in place to make sure all players’ funds are out and that we also provide support before the site fully shuts down. GGBet from 12 Dec. They stopped accepting new customers’ sign-ups from 12 Dec. Also, on that date, we saw the existing users’ access to fund deposits and betting, which includes slots, live casino games, and sports, be disabled. As for what happens to your account if you were an existing user, you can still log in to see your balance. Until 9 Jan 2026, you’ll still have access to withdraw any leftover money.

The company promised to process withdrawals as fast as possible, using your original payment method if they can. Bets that wrap up before the site closes will be settled just like always. If you’ve got bets on events happening after the shutdown date, those get voided, and your stakes go right back into your account. This move comes as no surprise. The UK gambling market expects more shake-ups, especially among smaller companies, after the government hiked the online casino tax rate to 40% starting April 2026, with sports betting duty set to increase the following year.

Before GGBet, the business ran as Dr Bet. That changed in July 2023, when Rednines Gaming, now the parent company, took over and rebranded the site. With more operators thinking about leaving the UK, there’s growing interest in snapping up assets from those pulling out, whether it’s customer lists, brands, or even entire businesses.
