SBOBET casino review
SBOBET holds a licence from the Tobique Gaming Commission, a lighter-touch regulator, and scores 4.7 out of 10 for trust against other casinos in its own licensing class, a figure that is not comparable with the scores of casinos licensed by top-tier regulators. Its fastest withdrawal is 24 hours via Skrill, measured end to end from the withdrawal request to money in hand — not the operator's processing window alone. The minimum deposit is $5. Regulators have taken 4 published actions against SBOBET or its predecessors, which we count against the score.

What regulators have done about SBOBET
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (observed) | Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP/HGC) | sbobet.com | — | The Hellenic Gaming Commission maintains a Register of Unlicensed Providers (Blacklist) of websites offering online gambling in Greece without an HGC licence; it is published as a searchable register on hgc.gov.gr and contains 15,449 rows, each flagged as Blacklist, licensed operator (Whitelist) or affiliate of a licensed operator. Queried on 26 July 2026, one row matches "sbobet" - https://www.sbobet.com/, flagged Blacklist. That is SBOBET's own primary domain, so this is recorded as DIRECT. The register names websites rather than licensee companies, so against_entity is the domain rather than Entrope S.R.L.. Rows carry only a bulk record-creation timestamp of 24 June 2026 and no per-entry listing date, so the retrieval date is used and date_precision is observed. source |
| (observed) | National Gambling Office of Romania (ONJN) | sbobet.com | — | Romania's National Gambling Office (Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc, ONJN) publishes a blacklist (lista neagra) of domains that offer online gambling to Romanian players without an ONJN licence and which Romanian ISPs are required to block. The full list, read on 26 July 2026 from the ONJN-hosted text file Lista-neagra.txt (the complete A-to-Z file, running from numeric entries through to zoncasino.com), includes sbobet.com. Recorded as DIRECT: sbobet.com is this brand's own primary domain. The blacklist is a bare list of domains with a sequence number and no company name or per-entry date, so against_entity is the domain rather than Entrope S.R.L., and the retrieval date is used with date_precision observed. source |
| (observed) | National Betting Authority (NBA), Cyprus | sbobet.com | — | The Cyprus National Betting Authority publishes a machine-readable blocking list of domains that Cypriot internet service providers must block for offering betting services without a Cyprus licence. The edition retrieved on 18 July 2026, whose file header reads "#Last updated on 20/07/2026" and which contains 22,436 domains, includes 19 SBOBET domains: www.sbobet.com, casino.sbobet.com and m.sbobet.com, plus www.sbobetasia.com, m.sbobetasia.com, sbobet.gratis, www.sbobet.gratis, www.sbobet.co.uk, www.sbobet.tv, www.sbobet.mobi, www.sbobet.net, www.onlinesbobet.com, www.sbobetph.com, www.sbobetsg.com, www.sbobeteu.com, www.sbobetth.com, www.sbobethk.com, www.sbobetid.com and www.sbobetuk.com. Recorded as DIRECT: these are SBOBET's own primary domain, subdomains and country-specific domains. The NBA blocks by domain and names no company, so against_entity is recorded as the domain rather than as Entrope S.R.L.. The date is the list's stated last-updated date, not a date of an individual decision against this operator, hence date_precision is observed. source |
| (exact) | Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) | Celton Manx Limited | GBP 3,937,500 | By public statement dated 3 July 2025, issued under section 19 of the Gambling (Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism) Act 2018, the Isle of Man GSC required Celton Manx Limited (the Isle of Man-licensed operator of SBOBET and SBOTOP, licensed since 1 August 2008) to pay a discretionary civil penalty of GBP 3,937,500 - a GBP 5,625,000 penalty discounted 30% for early admission and cooperation - for systemic AML/CFT Code contraventions: failure to evidence that Network Partners applied equivalent standards, inadequate customer/business risk assessments, deficient ongoing customer monitoring, insufficient enhanced due diligence, weak identity verification, inadequate compliance monitoring and testing, and insufficient AML/CFT staff training. Celton Manx surrendered its Isle of Man licence on 9 May 2025, shortly before the penalty was published. Recorded as DIRECT for SBOBET: Celton Manx was SBOBET's licensed operator during the relevant period. NOTE: the penalty equally covers the sister brand SBOTOP under the same operator, and the SBOBET brand has since reportedly moved to Entrope S.R.L. under a Tobique Gaming Commission licence. source |
Actions against a sister brand or a wider group are listed for context but do not affect this brand's score. Only actions against the brand itself or the company it grew out of do.

Questions people ask about SBOBET
Is SBOBET licensed, and by which regulator?
SBOBET is licensed by Tobique Gaming Commission. The licence was active when we checked the regulator’s own public register on 26 July 2026. You can check it yourself in the register entry we used. SBOBET's Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission licence, held by Celton Manx Limited since 2008, was surrendered on 9 May 2025; current reviews report the site is now operated by Entrope S.R.L., which is listed as an active B2C licensee (expiry 12 June 2027) on the Tobique Gaming Commission register, though that register certifies the company rather than the specific website.
Who owns SBOBET?
SBOBET is owned through Entrope S.R.L. (operator). Ownership of these companies changes by takeover faster than most registers update, so we date it: this is the structure we recorded on 26 July 2026. Source: the filing we read.
Has SBOBET been fined by a gambling regulator?
Yes. We have recorded 4 published enforcement actions against SBOBET or the company it operates under. The most recent was by Hellenic Gaming Commission on 26 July 2026. Read the regulator’s published decision. Every action we hold is listed with its date, amount and source further up this page.
How long does a withdrawal from SBOBET actually take?
The fastest route we recorded is Skrill at 24 hours. The slowest is Bank Transfer at 5 business days. These are end-to-end times: from requesting the money to it being spendable, including the operator’s own review window. They are not the “instant” figure a cashier screen shows, which times only the last step. Source: the operator’s published terms.
