Bets.io review: an Anjouan-licensed crypto casino
Bets.io is a crypto casino and sportsbook licensed in Anjouan. It has no Gambling Commission licence and is not licensed for Great Britain.
Our verdict
No GB licenceBets.io is licensed in Anjouan, previously under a Curacao sub-licence, and holds no Gambling Commission licence.
Worth knowing
- No Gambling Commission licence
- Crypto payments, which the Commission treats as high risk
- Not covered by GAMSTOP
- No UK dispute resolution
Bets.io is a crypto casino and sportsbook that holds no Gambling Commission licence, so it is not licensed to offer gambling to anyone in Great Britain. For this Bets.io review the licence history matters: the brand launched in 2021 under Bets Entertainment N.V. with a Curacao sub-licence (master licence 365/JAZ) and later moved to a licence from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, numbered ALSI-202410047-FI2 and naming Tessera Limited SRL.
Two offshore licences, no GB one
Moving from one offshore licence to another does not bring a site any closer to the GB market. The register files of 2 November 2026 hold no entry for Bets.io, Bets Entertainment or Tessera. Whether the site accepts GB sign-ups is not clear from public sources; either way, without a Commission licence it is not authorised to serve this market.
Crypto and the GB rules
The Gambling Commission treats cryptoassets as a high-risk payment method for money laundering, and no mainstream GB-licensed casino offering crypto deposits has been identified. A crypto-only casino that accepts GB players is, by definition, unlicensed for GB. The Commission said in February 2026 that crypto is one of the two biggest searches leading GB gamblers to illegal sites.
Bets.io review: what a GB player would not have
- No GAMSTOP: a national self-exclusion does not reach the site.
- No free ADR service if a withdrawal dispute stalls.
- No £5 per spin slot limit, or £2 for players aged 18 to 24.
- No Commission oversight of game fairness, terms or payouts.
The Commission warns that players on unlicensed sites can face blocked payouts, withdrawal limits set too high to reach and risks to personal data.
Telling a licensed site apart
A GB licensee prints its Commission account number in the footer, and the register confirms the status, the activities and the domains. The steps are in our guide to checking a casino's UK licence. If you are looking for sites that do hold a licence, the online casinos UK section lists only those.
Gambling is for over-18s only. If it is getting out of hand, GAMSTOP covers every GB-licensed site, and our responsible gambling page points to free, confidential help.

Questions readers ask
Is Bets.io licensed anywhere?
Only offshore: it holds an Anjouan licence and earlier used a Curacao sub-licence. It has no Gambling Commission licence, so it may not lawfully offer gambling to people in Great Britain.
Who operates Bets.io?
It launched under Bets Entertainment N.V., and its current Anjouan licence names Tessera Limited SRL. Neither company is on the GB register.
Does this review list a Bets.io promo code or no deposit bonus?
Offers are only covered for operators licensed in Great Britain. GB-licensed bonuses also carry the 10x wagering cap, which offshore offers do not.
Can GB-licensed casinos take crypto?
The Commission does not ban crypto outright but treats it as high risk, and no mainstream GB-licensed casino taking crypto deposits has been identified.
