There are currently 48 independent bookmakers in the UK, as of .

Our list of independent bookmakers focuses solely on companies that offer online sports betting services and operate independently from any shared ownership group or UKGC licence

Some independent bookmakers may use the same sportsbook software as other operators, but they remain independently owned and managed rather than being part of a larger betting group.

We keep our list up to date with new independent bookmakers added instantly, as well as removing any sites that have closed down or if they've changed ownership.

Why Some UK Betting Sites Aren't Independent Bookmakers

Many more betting sites operate under their own UKGC licence, but that doesn't necessarily make them an independent bookmaker.

Sky Bet, for example, operate under its own UKGC licence - SBG Sports Limited - but is owned by Flutter Entertainment, which also owns Paddy Power, Betfair and PokerStars.

William Hill and 888Sport are also excluded from the list despite having their own individual licences because they are a part of Evoke PLC

Similarly, 32Red and Unibet are both part of the Kindred Group, while LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet are both owned by the LiveScore Group.

What Are Independent Bookmakers?

Independent online bookmakers are companies that offer digital sports betting services and have full control over their own operations. They have no sister sites, do not operate additional white-label brands and ultimately control their brand.

Some independent bookmakers use third-party sportsbook software, as listed above, while others develop their own platforms.

All independent bookmakers featured on this page are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and offer online sports betting to customers in the UK.

How We Check Independent Bookmakers

Our list of independent bookmakers is built using the same research and data that powers our directory of all UK betting sites.

Our directory is checked and monitored daily for any new betting site that launches or bookies that close down.

With our current system in place, we can confidently track all 46 independent bookmakers and make changes as soon as we spot them.

Independent bookies have lots of freedom to set their own odds on whichever markets they want. That means you can sometimes find better prices on a more interesting selection of markets at these bookies.

Some independent betting sites also provide a much more personalised service than major corporate brands.

Most independent bookmakers featured on this page have mobile apps for either iOS or Android devices (or both).
