SBOBET casino review
SBOBET holds a licence from the Tobique Gaming Commission, a lighter-touch regulator, and scores 5.8 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 1 published action against SBOBET or its predecessors, which we count against the score, and we are still checking the remaining regulators in its markets.

What regulators have done about SBOBET
These are the actions we have found so far. We have not yet finished checking every regulator in this brand's markets, so treat this as a partial record. There may be more. Its trust score reflects what is listed here.
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (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.
