Established in 2017, BettingInstitute.co.uk is a clean UK gambling site with top SEO, strong affiliate history, great organic traffic & top link profile.

Key Highlights

Live since 2017, BettingInstitute.co.uk is a UK-facing gambling site offering high-quality betting tips, bookmaker reviews, and educational guides.

All content is written by native English writers – no AI – and includes custom visuals and media created in-house.

The site has an exceptionally clean backlink profile, and over €20,000 has been invested in long-term, high-quality link building on UK-relevant sites (mirror.co.uk and others).

Collaborations with top-tier operators like Bet365, 888, Betway, William Hill, Ladbrokes, NetBet, BoyleSports, and others.

SEO structure is carefully optimized and scalable, with internal linking, categories, and pages ranking well for high-intent UK betting queries.

Long-term potential for affiliate monetization or expanding traffic channels through content and outreach.

Owned and built by a well-established SEO agency, this site was treated as a showcase project, never spammed or over-monetized.

⚙️ Operations
The site runs on WordPress and earns revenue via affiliate programs with major UK operators. It includes:

Detailed bookmaker reviews and ranking pages

In-depth guides and educational content about betting

A dedicated tips section with consistent updates

In the last 2 years, we’ve allocated about 2 hours/month for basic maintenance and 10-20 minutes/day for updating the betting tips section.
Numerous pages are well ranked in Google UK, and the technical SEO structure is rock solid, requiring minimal work to maintain visibility.
? Customers
The audience is 95% UK-based – bettors looking for trustworthy, informative content. All traffic is organic, with no paid ads.
Affiliate earnings historically came from top-tier operators:

Bet365: ~€50,000

William Hill: ~€20,000

Betfred: ~€12,000

Others (888, Nitrogen, NetBet, Ladbrokes, etc.): smaller amounts

Over the past 2 years, despite very low maintenance, the site brought in an average of ~€10,000/year, with minimal costs:

~€600/year for hosting

~€200/year for domain renewals, including bettinginstitute.com, .us, .uk, .eu (included in the sale, held for brand protection)

? Financials
We haven’t actively promoted the site commercially in the last few years. Affiliate earnings dropped due to platform changes (e.g., William Hill migration) and passive management, not a lack of potential. We lost our Betfred account a few months ago because we didn’t complete some updates they had requested. We simply missed the emails – we had set up some redirects, but it didn’t work properly.
In the long term, this situation could continue due to a lack of time and attention, which is also one of the main reasons why we’ve decided to sell the project.
This was a side project for our SEO agency – and it performed well even with minimal updates. There’s clear potential to grow revenue by reactivating old affiliate relationships and producing fresh content.
? Additional Notes
We receive dozens of monthly offers to place sponsored content, with agencies offering up to €2,000/article. We’ve consistently declined these to protect the site’s integrity.
We could have easily published 2–3 monthly advertorials and made an additional €15,000–€30,000/year, but monetization was never our focus. As an agency with large-scale client work in Romania, we no longer have the time to give this project the attention it deserves.
The foundation is strong, SEO is clean, and we believe a buyer who brings energy and vision can unlock much more.
