Bubbles Bet review: what its licence means in Great Britain
Bubblesbet, launched in 2023, markets itself to UK players and cites a Curacao master licence. It has no Gambling Commission licence.
Our verdict
No GB licenceBubblesbet states a Curacao master licence and markets to UK players, but holds no Gambling Commission licence.
Worth knowing
- No Gambling Commission licence despite UK marketing
- No GAMSTOP participation
- No credit card ban or approved ADR route
- No GB slot stake limits
Bubbles Bet, written by the brand as Bubblesbet, is an online casino that markets itself to UK players while holding no Gambling Commission licence. Its own Trustpilot description says it opened in 2023 and works under a Curacao master licence; no licence number or GB account backs that up.
Only adults aged 18 or over may gamble in Great Britain, and for them the question of whether Bubbles Bet casino is safe turns on law, not on its games or offers. That is the focus of this Bubbles Bet review.
The other Bubbles on the register
Searching the register for the name does turn up one result: the trading name "bubbles amusements" under account 25086. That is an unrelated amusements business, not the casino. There is no business, trading name or domain for Bubblesbet itself. Near-matches like this are common, which is why the domain check matters most: a licensed casino's web address appears in its own register entry. How to check a casino's UK licence walks through it.
Taking UK customers without a licence
A brand that markets itself to UK players, as Bubblesbet does, falls squarely within the Gambling Act 2005. Offering remote gambling used in Great Britain without a Commission licence is an offence under section 33. The Commission sends cease-and-desist notices to such operators, refers their pages to search engines for delisting and works with payment firms to cut them off.
Where money and disputes end up
At a GB licensee, gambling with a credit card is banned, reverse withdrawals are banned, and a complaint that is not settled within eight weeks can go free of charge to an approved ADR provider. None of that applies at an unlicensed site. The Commission warns that such sites may block payouts, set withdrawal limits too high to reach and leave personal data exposed. For that reason there are no Bubbles Bet promo code, no-deposit bonus or payment details on this page.
Leaving and staying away
If you hold an account, a written request to close it, with screenshots of your balance, is the record you will need, because no UK body can enforce it. GAMSTOP will not reach an offshore site, so pair it with blocking software; see how GAMSTOP works.

Questions readers ask
Does a Curacao master licence let Bubbles Bet serve UK players?
No. Whatever its Curacao standing, it has no Gambling Commission licence, so it cannot lawfully offer gambling in Great Britain and none of the GB protections apply.
Is Bubbles Bet linked to Bubbles Amusements?
Not on the register. Account 25086 trades as bubbles amusements and is an unrelated amusements business.
Are there Bubbles Bet sister sites licensed in the UK?
None appear on the register. Sister sites are brands that share one Commission account, and Bubblesbet has no account.
