SponsioBet

SponsioBet is an online gambling platform that launched in 2020, according to its domain registration. The site states it offers slots, live casino, sportsbook, jackpot games, and video poker, along with a VIP programme and wagering competitions. Their website describes their aim as providing entertainment in a "fun, safe, fair, regulated and secure" environment, though their operator's recent regulatory record tells a more complicated story.

The site is operated by ProgressPlay Limited, which has held a UKGC licence since November 2014, giving it over a decade of regulated operation in the UK market. The operator's UKGC licence covers casino, general betting, and bingo activity across its brand portfolio. Despite the long licensing history, ProgressPlay Limited has faced regulatory action that significantly affects how the operator's standing should be assessed.

ProgressPlay Limited holds three active UKGC licences covering SponsioBet's operations. The Remote Casino licence, granted in November 2014, permits online slots, table games, and live dealer products. The General Betting Standard (Real Event) licence, granted in December 2018, covers the sportsbook. A Bingo licence was added in August 2024. All three are currently Active.

ProgressPlay Limited received a £1,000,000 financial penalty from the UKGC on 9 May 2025. The Commission found the operator had breached anti-money laundering (AML) provisions and social responsibility code requirements. Alongside the fine, the UKGC issued a formal warning and attached an additional condition to the operator's licence requiring a third-party compliance audit. This is a serious regulatory outcome that applies across all brands ProgressPlay Limited operates, including SponsioBet.

ProgressPlay Limited is the licensed operator behind SponsioBet. The company has held UKGC authorisation since November 2014 and its UKGC status is currently Active. Its operator category covers mixed gambling products including casino, betting, and bingo. No Companies House information is available in the public data for this operator.

Despite more than 11 years of continuous licensing, ProgressPlay Limited's regulatory record has been damaged by the 2025 enforcement action. The UKGC's imposition of a mandatory third-party audit as a licence condition signals the regulator's concerns about compliance standards at the company. Consumers should weigh the long licensing history against this recent enforcement outcome.
