Visit BillyBets →Pros
- Above-average 7.3 Casino.guru Safety Index
- Some reviewers describe an excellent casino/sportsbook experience with good odds and quick payouts
Cons
- Ownership is inconsistently reported across sources (NovaForge LTD / Casolinia Group / Liernin Enterprises LTD)
- Some Terms and Conditions clauses flagged as unfair
- A serious allegation describes a permanently self-excluded account being reopened with no explanation
- Documented complaints of a 2-month account-closure struggle and slow, sometimes cancelled withdrawals
- No locally regulated welcome bonus - operates offshore/unlicensed in Norway's state-monopoly market
Our verdict
BillyBets holds Casino.guru's above-average 7.3 Safety Index, but we want to flag two real concerns directly. First, ownership is reported inconsistently across sources - a genuine transparency gap rather than a clean single-operator picture. Second, and more seriously, one documented complaint alleges a permanently self-excluded account was reopened, allowing further deposits, with the operator providing no explanation or accountability - a serious responsible-gambling failure if accurate. Other complaints describe a lengthy, unresponsive account-closure process and slow or unexpectedly cancelled withdrawals. Some reviewers do describe BillyBets very positively, praising good odds and quick payouts, so this is a genuinely mixed picture. There is no locally regulated welcome bonus in Norway, where BillyBets operates offshore and unlicensed. Given the inconsistent ownership reporting and the serious self-exclusion allegation, we'd recommend real caution with BillyBets, particularly for anyone who has previously self-excluded from gambling.

About BillyBets
BillyBets is a casino and sportsbook launched in 2024, running on the IG Play software platform. We want to flag a real transparency issue directly: ownership is reported inconsistently across sources - variously as NovaForge LTD, Casolinia Group, or Liernin Enterprises LTD - a discrepancy that suggests a complex or opaque corporate structure. It operates under Anjouan Gaming Authority and PAGCOR (Philippines) licences. Casino.guru gives BillyBets an above-average 7.3 Safety Index but flags some Terms and Conditions clauses as somewhat unfair. We are naming a serious specific complaint directly rather than treating it as routine: one Trustpilot reviewer alleges their permanently self-excluded account was reopened, allowing them to make multiple further deposits, with BillyBets providing no explanation or accountability despite the player submitting evidence - a serious responsible-gambling failure if accurate. Other documented complaints describe a 2-month, 10-request struggle just to get an account closed, slow withdrawals with only a 4-business-day review promise, and a specific case where a withdrawal was cancelled unexpectedly after a 96-hour wait. Some reviewers do describe BillyBets as an excellent casino/sportsbook experience with good odds and quick payouts, making this a genuinely mixed picture. In Norway, no locally regulated welcome bonus exists since Norway's gambling market is a state monopoly, and BillyBets operates there offshore and unlicensed.
