Sporting Bet casino still offer games that are provided through Spielo G2/Finsoft and as such we would advise players to avoid this venue.

SportingBet hold the following gambling licenses :
- United Kingdom Gambling Commission - The UKGC are widely considered to be the most reputable regulators involved in the online gambling market. They do not manage complaints for players directly, instead requiring their operators to appoint a UKGC accredited Alternative Dispute Resolution service. As such the value of this license for players depends largely on the professionalism of the ADR service utilised. SportingBet currently use IBAS. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies here.
- Malta Gaming Authority - In our experience the MGA is the best regulatory authority in terms of the management of player complaints. Their complaints team is open and cooperative in the discussion of player issues and we've managed to resolve a number of credible player issues working with the MGA. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies here.
- Gibraltar Gaming Commission - The GGC is one of the more reputable online gaming regulators, but we are aware of a serious software issue where they failed to uphold their own technical standards. You can find further information regarding this regulator's complaint policies here.

Sporting Bet casino publish the RTP/House Edge figures for all their slots games.
The Sporting Bet comp point system awards points as follows;
- 1 point for every £2 on Slots, Hi-Lo, Scratchcards & Games
- 1 point for every £3 on Table Games & Roulette
- 1 point for every £5 on Blackjack, Baccarat & Video Poker
Comp points can then be cashed in on a sliding scale depending on your VIP level with a minimum of 1000 points being required to receive £5.
This program is substantially weaker than the standard Playtech comp point program for low VIP level customers and becomes much better as you reach the higher levels.
As long as Sporting Bet are offering games from a provider that has been shown to program their games in an intentionally misleading fashion, we would advise all players to avoid their casino.
