New Betting Sites Coming Soon: All Pending UKGC Licenses (May 2026 Update)

On this page page, we provide a regularly updated list of new betting sites, tracking all pending and newly approved licenses from the UK Gambling Commission.

We monitor the latest applications to identify new UK betting sites before they go live, as well as operators that have recently entered the market.

The newest betting site to launch in the UK is BetAhoy, which went live on May 7, 2026.

While the UKGC issues licenses across multiple sectors, this page focuses only on betting. Specifically, we track 'General Betting Standard Real Events' and 'General Betting Standard Virtual Events' - the main types where operators can offer online betting.

Whenever a pending license becomes active, we immediately add it to our full list of UK betting sites.

As part of our commitment to deliver the UK's most in-depth directory of betting sites, our team regularly scours the market to find any major changes to the landscape.

That can include bookies trialling new things like Betfair's beta prediction market platform or checking the latest betting sites to offer best odds guaranteed on horse racing in the UK & Ireland.

We've put together a master list of UK betting sites that ultimately makes it easy for us to track any changes, as well as all new betting sites entering the market.

There are two main types of licence applications with the UK Gambling Commission: personal and operating.

Personal licence applications are for individuals who either work in certain roles in the casino industry ot hold specific management roles across the gambling industry.

This page focuses on operating licence applicants, though, and they are not speedy processes.

The UKGC website states that applications "can be complex and take up to 6 months or longer" to assess and process.

That's where we step in!

If, while checking our master list, we spot a 'pending' licence has switched to 'active', that usually means they also have their website active too.

Once that happens, we immediately add the new licence to our list of new betting sites.
