Sportsbet.io India

Licence OGL/2023/110/0072, held by MBet Solutions N.V., issued December 24, 2025, expiry Indefinite. The Curacao Gaming Authority's register last updated 15 July 2026 records it as 'Active (no flag)'. Reading the register: Curacao issues many licences on six-month terms, and a lapsed term does not mean an operator is unlicensed - the register's STATUS column marks most of those 'Assessment in progress', meaning a renewal is being worked through. Some entries carry no end date at all and are recorded as indefinite. Judging by the dates alone, in either direction, gets it wrong. We are stating this precisely because we got it wrong earlier today: a parsing error made us attach another company's licence data to several brands, including telling readers that six operators held expired licences. None of the brands we checked is marked Expired. That claim has been removed and the scores restored.

Treat Sportsbet.io with real caution despite its genuine scale. It holds a Curacao eGaming licence, but Trustpilot is seriously low (1.2/5), with a strong, recurring pattern of accounts blocked and funds confiscated after winning. There's also real reported uncertainty about the parent Yolo Group's future as of late 2025.

Yes, seriously. A strong, statistically significant volume of Trustpilot complaints describes accounts blocked and funds confiscated specifically after players win, plus KYC verification demanded only at withdrawal time and then repeated for documents already submitted.

As of late 2025, industry press reported that founder Timothy Heath was considering shutting down or selling the entire Yolo Group (Sportsbet.io's parent) amid growing pressure on Curacao's gambling regulatory model. This is a real, material development worth monitoring before depositing significant funds.

Sportsbet.io generally runs a Clubhouse loyalty program with odds boosts rather than a classic welcome bonus (correctly showing no bonus in Japan, for example). In India, however, it offers a real 100% first-deposit crypto bonus up to 300 USDT.

Sportsbet.io is operated by mBet Solutions N.V. under Coingaming/Yolo Group, founded in 2016 by Timothy John Heath. The group also operates Bitcasino.io.

The Curacao system this brand's licence came from no longer exists, and that is worth understanding before you read any 'Curacao licensed' claim. Curacao passed the National Ordinance on Games of Chance - the LOK - which came into force on 24 DECEMBER 2024 and replaced a framework dating from 1993. Under the old system a handful of master licence holders issued SUB-LICENCES to hundreds of operators, which is where numbers like 8048/JAZ and names like Antillephone come from. That master licence system was ABOLISHED ON 1 JANUARY 2025, the legacy sub-licences have expired, and the transitional 'orange seal' permissions expired permanently on 15 OCTOBER 2025. Since 1 January 2026 operators must also meet physical presence requirements on the island. Licences are now issued DIRECTLY by the Curacao Gaming Authority, whose register showed more than 330 active licences in early 2026 - and it is refusing a meaningful share of applicants, having approved 87 of roughly 140 direct applications by April 2026, a rejection rate near 38 percent. WHAT THIS DOES AND DOES NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SITE: it does NOT mean this operator is unlicensed. Many have moved to direct CGA licences. It means the specific credential we originally recorded belongs to a system that has been wound up, so if licensing matters to your decision, check the operator's current entry on the Curacao Gaming Authority register rather than trusting a sub-licence number in a website footer.
