SportsBroker review 2026: a licensed British pool betting site

SportsBroker is not a casino and not a conventional bookmaker. It is a pool betting site run by 4C Games Ltd, a company established in the United Kingdom and based in York, and its footer states that the company is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission under account number 62840. Players put their stakes into a pool, bet against each other rather than against the house, and the winners share what is left once the operator has taken its commission. In this SportsBroker review: how a pool pays out, what the licence covers and what the site does not offer.

How pool betting at SportsBroker differs from fixed odds

With a fixed-odds bookmaker, the price is agreed when you place the bet and the bookmaker carries the risk. In a pool, there is no fixed price. Every stake on a market goes into one pot, the operator deducts its commission, and the remainder is divided among the winning entries. Your return therefore depends on how much was staked in total and how many other players picked the same outcome. SportsBroker states a commission of up to 20% taken from pools, which is the figure to weigh against what you would expect from a fixed-odds price.

The licence: account 62840 and what it covers

The Gambling Commission register lists 4C Games Ltd under account 62840 with two activities: pool betting and gambling software. The remote pool betting licence, 062840-R-337939-005, is Active, and the licence dates from December 2023, so this is a young and small operator. The footer gives the company number and York address, which is the level of disclosure you should expect from any GB licensee. Our guide to checking a UK gambling licence shows how to confirm the status on the register yourself.

Is there a SportsBroker casino, app or bonus?

There is no SportsBroker casino: the licence covers pool betting only, with no casino, slots or bingo activity on the account. Anyone searching for slots or a casino welcome offer under this name will not find one here; the online casinos page covers licensed casino sites instead.

Promotions on the site are limited to customers in Great Britain, and their details, including any promo code or no deposit offer, are set out in the operator's own terms, which change. Two GB rules apply to any offer: wagering cannot exceed 10 times the bonus amount, and an offer cannot require you to play across different products. Payment methods, withdrawal times and app details are also set out in the operator's own terms and change often.

Disputes, ID checks and GAMSTOP at SportsBroker

• You must be 18 or over, and your age and identity must be verified before you deposit or bet.
• Every online operator licensed by the Commission must take part in GAMSTOP, so a GAMSTOP exclusion covers SportsBroker too.
• The footer names IBAS, an approved dispute resolution provider. If a complaint is not resolved within 8 weeks, or you receive a final response, you can take it there free of charge. See how to complain about a gambling operator.
