Closed since October 2025 - a long-running LatAm operator that did not survive Curacao's licensing reset
Visit Betmotion →Pros
- Operated for 16 years, from 2009 until 2025, with a real staffed support operation
- Held genuine Isle of Man and Curacao licences while trading, rather than operating entirely unlicensed
Cons
- Closed in October 2025 - the brand no longer accepts players and cannot be recommended
- Failed to obtain a Brazilian SPA licence, losing legal access to its most important market
- Did not transition to a Curacao LOK green seal before the 15 October 2025 deadline
- Any welcome bonus still advertised for Betmotion is void, and any live site using the name is unverified
- Players holding balances at closure faced the usual recovery risk that comes with an operator shutting down
Our verdict
There is nothing to sign up for here. Betmotion ran for sixteen years and was a real, licensed, properly staffed operator in its time, but it closed in October 2025 after being squeezed from both ends: shut out of the newly regulated Brazilian market where most of its players were, and then stripped of its Curacao authorisation when the island's transitional seal expired on 15 October 2025. We keep this page published as a record rather than a recommendation, because Betmotion bonus offers are still floating around affiliate sites and search results long after the operator stopped accepting players. If you find a live site using the Betmotion name today, treat it as unverified and do not deposit.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (20%)2.5
Held real Isle of Man and Curacao licences during its 16 years of operation, but ended up unlicensed: it failed to secure a Brazilian SPA licence for its main market and did not transition to a Curacao LOK green seal before the deadline.
Sportsbook & odds (25%)2
Not assessable: the sportsbook is no longer operating. Before closure it offered mainstream sports, live betting and casino to a largely Brazilian audience.
Casino & games (20%)2
Not assessable following closure.
Payments & payouts (20%)1.5
Not assessable. Any operator that shuts down is a payout risk for players holding balances at the time, which is the single most important thing to know here.
Bonuses & value (15%)1
All previously advertised welcome offers are void. Any Betmotion bonus still circulating online is stale marketing for a brand that no longer accepts players.

About Betmotion
Betmotion was a Latin America-focused sportsbook and online casino founded in 2009, best known in Brazil, which grew to over 100 employees and operated under Isle of Man and Curacao licences. It closed in October 2025. Two regulatory events explain the ending. First, Brazil legalised and licensed fixed-odds betting under Law 14.790/2023, and when the bet.br market went live on 1 January 2025 Betmotion was not among the authorised operators, cutting it off from its core audience. Second, Curacao replaced its old sub-licence system with the LOK framework; every legacy sub-licence expired in January 2025 and the temporary orange seal ran out for good on 15 October 2025, leaving operators without a green seal with no right to trade. Betmotion shut down that same month.
FAQ
Is Betmotion still operating?
No. Betmotion ceased operations in October 2025 and no longer accepts players.
Why did Betmotion close?
Two regulatory pressures coincided. It was not granted a Brazilian SPA licence when the regulated bet.br market launched on 1 January 2025, losing its main market, and its Curacao sub-licence lapsed when the transitional regime's temporary seal expired permanently on 15 October 2025 without the brand securing a green seal under the new LOK framework.
I still see a Betmotion welcome bonus advertised. Can I claim it?
No. Those offers are void. Affiliate pages and old reviews across the web still carry Betmotion bonus figures, but the operator is closed. Treat any site currently trading under the name as unverified and do not deposit.
Was Betmotion licensed?
Yes, while it was trading. It held Isle of Man and Curacao licences during its operating life. It ended up without a valid licence, which is why it stopped.
