BresBet and Bet St George are to shutter their UK platforms after their licences were suspended by the Gambling Commission (GC).
Both operators have informed customers of the decision, alerting them that they have until 30 September to claim any funds owed.
Communication sent to customers by BresBet on 4 September read: “We’re sorry to bring you some difficult news.
“Following the suspension of our licence by the Gambling Commission, we’ve had to make the tough decision to stop operating. Thank you for betting with us. It genuinely meant a lot.”
Bet St George sent out a similar notice to customers, emphasising the 30 September deadline to eligible accounts.
The GC suspended BresBet’s and Bet St George’s licences after an investigation uncovered “suspected social responsibility and anti-money laundering (AML) failings”.
In a ruling published on 28 August, the regulator announced both operators would be subject to a review under section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005.
The suspensions were due to remain in effect until the GC was “satisfied the businesses are compliant”.
Both platforms were unable to operate while the licence review took place, with each displaying a notice explaining as such on their respective homepages.
BresBet first launched in 2021 under a white-label agreement with Playbook Engineering, before migrating to its own licences in February 2025.
The GC granted the firm four different licences to operate bingo, casino, sports betting and virtual sports products.
Bet St George, which sits under the same BresCorp umbrella as BresBet and operates out of the same Sheffield office, received the same licences in December 2025.
EGR has reached out to Bet St George and BresBet for comment.
The licence suspensions represented the latest set of disciplinary actions doled out by the GC.
The regulator announced QuinnBet would make a payment in lieu of financial penalty totalling £609,104 last month over social responsibility and AML failings.
Adult Gaming Centre operator Holland Park Leisure was also on the receiving end of a £150,000 GC fine in August for “failing to comply with self-exclusion requirements designed to reduce gambling harm”.
The regulator also confirmed in July that supplier Evolution will pay a £4.75m settlement after its games were found on sites belonging to unlicensed operators targeting the UK market.
