Licence at Bet365

The main details of the Bet365 licence, as listed on the Malta Gaming Authority’s public register:

Bet365 does not accept customers from a number of countries and territories. The restricted territories are: Afghanistan, American Samoa, Angola, Belgium, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Congo Republic, Cuba, Czech Republic, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, France, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Libya, Macau, Martinique, Monaco, Myanmar, Netherlands, North Korea, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, US Virgin Islands, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

In several regulated markets, such as the United Kingdom, Bet365 runs separate websites under local licences, so players there use the locally licensed site. The list can change over time, and using a VPN or other means to get around these restrictions is prohibited.

Bet365 is one brand, but its websites are run by several Hillside companies, each holding its own licence:

• Malta – Hillside (Sports) ENC is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority under licence MGA/CRP/531/2018 (B2C – Gaming Service Licence);
• United Kingdom – UK customers are served by Hillside (UK Sports) ENC and Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC, licensed by the UK Gambling Commission under account numbers 55148 and 55149;
• Gibraltar – Hillside (Gibraltar Sports) LP and Hillside (Gibraltar Gaming) LP hold Gibraltar licences RGL 130 and RGL 129 for customers in other regions.

The company you contract with depends on where you live and is named in the terms and conditions you accept when you open an account. Each licence is supervised by the regulator that issued it.

A licence verification system is available to allow users to confirm the current status and authenticity of the Bet365 licence at any time. You can check the licence directly on the Malta Gaming Authority’s official public register: search for Hillside (Sports) ENC or licence number MGA/CRP/531/2018, or use the link in the Licence Details table above.

The register is a status-check tool maintained by the regulatory authority, not by the operator, and it shows whether a licence is currently active. All texts and materials in the register remain the property of the regulator. For users in India who want to confirm whether Bet365 is legal and properly registered, this system provides direct, verifiable proof of the platform’s licensing status.
