VBET sister sites, and the deposit rules that change between them

Updated November 2026 · 3 sister brands

Which VBET sister sites share the same rules?

Arrowbet, Brotherbets and Highbet share VBET's licence holder and its regulatory duties, but each sets its own offers, deposit floor and payout time. VBET itself leads with sport, beside slots, Slingo, keno and live tables. Its casino welcome is 200 free spins worth 10p each across 4 Big Bass slots, with no wagering on winnings, for new, verified customers who opt in, deposit £100 or more in one go by debit card or Apple Pay and stake it on slots the same day. The spins are claimed by hand and last 5 days.

Brand	What it leads with	Casino lobby	House rule to compare with VBET
Highbet Verified sister	Sportsbook with a racing section	Slots, crash and fishing games, Slingo, tournaments, live casino	£10 minimum deposit, withdrawal requests processed within 48 hours
Arrowbet Verified sister	Sportsbook with a special-bets section	Slots from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO and other suppliers	May charge a withdrawal fee that varies by payment method
Brotherbets Verified sister	Sportsbook with a short menu	Mostly Pragmatic Play slots and live tables	£5 minimum deposit and a £0.10 minimum bet
Midnite Independent recommendation	Sportsbook and racing	Games, live casino and virtuals	One payment method at a time, £5 minimum deposit on each
Virgin Bet Independent recommendation	Sportsbook with price boosts and a daily free game	Casino and live casino	Aims to process withdrawals within 24 hours

Midnite and Virgin Bet are independent recommendations from other operators, not sisters.

Who is behind the SCGO casinos?

SCGO Limited, a company registered in Malta, runs vbet.co.uk and holds the Gambling Commission licence, licence 044662-R-324273-023, that Arrowbet, Brotherbets and Highbet also trade under as white-label sites. It's a small group of SCGO casinos: one licence holder, VBET and 3 verified sisters.

Keep VBET UK apart from the wider VBET brand, which began as Vivaro in Yerevan, Armenia, in 2003 and says it later took licences in Curaçao, Malta and France. Other operators' brands are listed in our A to Z of sister-site groups.

The shared licence brings shared duties: age and identity checks before you play, self-exclusion duties across your accounts with SCGO, and a complaints route that Arrowbet and Brotherbets both send to IBAS. It doesn't bring shared offers, lobbies, deposit floors or payout times. Two more white-label sites on the licence, dafabet.co.uk and luckytiger.co.uk, are not compared on this page or counted among the 3.

In January 2023 VBET's UK licence holder, then named Vivaro Limited, agreed to pay £337,631 in a regulatory settlement with the Gambling Commission over failings in its anti-money laundering and safer gambling processes.

What changes at each VBET sister site?

Each VBET sister site sets its own price of entry. The profiles below put one money rule from each brand against VBET's, from the qualifying deposit for a welcome to the clock on a cash-out.

Highbet: a smaller deposit for casino spins

Highbet pairs its sportsbook with a racing section and a casino lobby of slots, crash games, fishing games, Slingo and tournaments, close to VBET's mix. The money difference is the first deposit. Under Highbet's casino welcome terms, you opt in, make a first deposit of £10 or more by debit card within 7 days of registering and stake £10 of real money on slots the same day. That brings 50 cash spins on Big Bass Splash at 10p each, credited within 24 hours and claimed by hand in your Bonuses section. Winnings are paid as cash with no wagering, and the spins expire 7 days after they land. Crash, table and live games don't count towards the stake, and you take the sports or the casino welcome, not both. Next to VBET, you put down a tenth of the deposit for a quarter of the spins.

Arrowbet: a special-bets tab beside the sportsbook

Arrowbet keeps sport at the front, with Special Bets as the first item on its menu, ahead of casino, live casino, sports and in-play. Its popular-games row mixes Pragmatic Play, Games Global, NetEnt, Play'n GO, BOOMING Games and POPOK Gaming slots with Evolution's First Person Red Baron. Arrowbet's general terms send withdrawals back to the deposit method wherever possible, can ask for ID on a first or large withdrawal, and reserve the right to charge a withdrawal fee that varies by payment method, a clause Brotherbets' terms share. VBET's withdrawals page sets the same return-to-source rule, so the money goes back the way it came at both, while Arrowbet's fee clause means the amount that reaches you can depend on the method you used. Our Arrowbet sister sites page covers the same group from Arrowbet's side.

Brotherbets: Pragmatic Play slots and small deposits

Brotherbets keeps a plain menu of in-play, sports, casino and live casino, and its casino front page is almost all Pragmatic Play slots and live tables, a narrower supplier mix than Arrowbet's popular-games row shows. Where VBET shows any minimum by payment method in its Deposit section, Brotherbets publishes one figure, £5 per deposit, with a £0.10 minimum bet. Withdrawals are mostly done within 2 to 3 working days, and identity checks can add time before one is approved. Fees come with two answers. Its FAQ calls deposits and withdrawals free, though e-wallets or banks may charge, while Brotherbets' general terms keep the right to charge a withdrawal fee by payment method. Deposits normally show at once, though some methods can prompt an ID request before the funds are accepted. Set against Highbet, that's half the minimum deposit per payment.

What do the account rules say at each brand?

Each brand publishes its own account rules, and across the VBET sister sites these are the ones that touch your money:

• Duplicate accounts. Arrowbet and Brotherbets each allow one account per person at any one time, and can close duplicates and void any bonus tied to them.
• Verification. VBET requires verification before a deposit and puts most checks at under 24 hours, with some taking a number of days. At Arrowbet and Brotherbets, a first or large withdrawal, or new payment details, can bring a fresh ID request.
• Welcome offers. VBET's and Highbet's welcomes can each be claimed once, and each is limited to one person, household, IP address, email, address and device.
• Deposit limits. Raising a limit takes 24 hours at VBET, Highbet, Arrowbet and Brotherbets. Under the Gambling Commission's rules a licensee must be able to apply financial limits across all of a customer's accounts with it, so a limit at one SCGO brand can reach the others.

What do welcome offers at sites like VBET require?

Of the sisters, Highbet's casino welcome is the one compared here, and like VBET's it pays spin winnings with no wagering. Qualifying takes the stated deposit and same-day slot wagering, and that qualifying stake is your own money at risk. Side by side:

• VBET: 200 free spins at 10p each, 50 each on Big Bass Splash, Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe and Bigger Bass Splash, for depositing at least £100 in a single payment, by debit card or Apple Pay, and wagering it on slots that day once you've opted in. Under VBET's welcome terms, the spins arrive at 11:00 the next day, carry no wagering requirement and expire 5 days after you receive them. VBET's homepage summary also names Trustly, but the full terms count only debit card and Apple Pay deposits.
• Highbet: 50 cash spins at 10p each on Big Bass Splash once you opt in, make a first debit-card deposit of £10 or more within 7 days of registering and put £10 on slots that day, with winnings paid as cash, no wagering and 7 days to use the spins. You take this or Highbet's sports welcome, not both.
• Both: the spins are claimed by hand in your Bonuses section and can't be withdrawn unplayed.

Worked example: at VBET a £100 deposit staked on slots brings 200 spins with a face value of £20, which is 20p of spins for every £1 you deposit. At Highbet a £10 deposit and £10 stake bring 50 spins worth £5, or 50p per £1. Neither figure is cash in hand. It's the stake value of the spins, and what they return depends on the slot.

How long do withdrawals take at each brand?

Among the SCGO brands compared, Highbet processes withdrawal requests within 48 hours, Brotherbets says a withdrawal is mostly done within 2 to 3 working days, and VBET gives two figures of its own. Its homepage FAQ says withdrawal requests usually take up to 12 hours, while its withdrawals help page puts requests at up to 72 hours, and the table uses the longer one.

Some brands also give times by payment method or for the whole withdrawal. Highbet's homepage puts the whole withdrawal at 1 to 5 business days depending on the method, with e-wallets often within 24 hours. Virgin Bet aims to process requests within 24 hours, after which it estimates 1 to 4 hours for Visa, Mastercard and Pay by Bank and lists Apple Pay, Revolut Pay and PayPal as "Instant", estimates that can stretch with your provider, especially at weekends and on bank holidays. Midnite's payments table lists processing times by method, up to 5 business days for debit-card withdrawals and up to 72 hours for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Revolut Pay.

VBET pays only back to the method you deposited with, offers no direct-bank withdrawals and doesn't let you cancel a request. Credit cards can't be used at any UK-licensed site, these included.

Which VBET sister site fits the way you play?

The best VBET sister site for you depends on what you deposit and how soon you want the money back, because that's where the 3 brands differ most. Each pick below comes with its cost.

• You want a casino welcome on a smaller deposit: Of the two welcomes compared in the offers section, Highbet's needs the smaller deposit, though every spin is tied to Big Bass Splash.
• You want a short stated processing time: Highbet states 48 hours for withdrawal requests, though its homepage puts the whole withdrawal at up to 5 business days for some methods.
• You top up in small amounts: Brotherbets publishes a £5 minimum against Highbet's £10, though it points you to its logged-in Deposit and Withdraw sections to see which payment methods it takes.
• You want slots from several suppliers: Arrowbet's popular-games row mixes Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO and others where Brotherbets' casino front page is almost all Pragmatic Play, but its terms leave room for a withdrawal fee by payment method.

VBET alternatives that keep separate rules

Midnite and Virgin Bet are sites like VBET from other operators, each on a Gambling Commission licence of its own, chosen because both pair a sportsbook with a casino and publish their payment limits in pounds. They are independent recommendations, not sisters.

Midnite: one payment method at a time

Midnite Limited puts sports, racing, games, live casino and virtuals in one menu. Its casino welcome gives free spins on Big Bass Splash for a qualifying slot spend with a sign-up code. Every listed method takes deposits from £5 and pays out up to £5,000, and Midnite aims to process withdrawals within 72 hours. The catch is one active payment method at a time, and switching needs a balance under £3, no open bets and no unfinished casino rounds. Where VBET shows any minimum in its Deposit section, Midnite fixes one £5 floor, which is simple to plan around if you pay with a single card or wallet anyway.

Virgin Bet: a daily free game beside the sportsbook

Virgin Bet Limited runs Virgin Bet, which puts a daily free game, Virgin Bet FIVES and price boosts beside its sportsbook, casino and live casino. You pick a welcome at registration and have 14 days to meet its conditions. Virgin Bet publishes a starting deposit minimum of £5, which varies by payment method, with the exact amount on your account's deposit page. It charges no deposit fees, and withdrawals run from £5 to £20,000 on each method with no withdrawal fees and a 24-hour processing aim. Our guide to Virgin Bet's sister sites covers the brands it shares a licence with.

How the brands were compared

We set each brand's welcome terms, payment and withdrawal pages and account rules against VBET's, using the Gambling Commission register and each brand's own terms and help pages. A brand counts among the VBET sister sites when it trades on SCGO Limited's licence and its own pages name SCGO as its operator, and the 3 are ordered by how closely their product mix matches VBET's. Midnite and Virgin Bet were picked as sites like VBET for their sport-and-casino mix. Our wider approach is set out in how we rate casinos.

How do safer gambling and self-exclusion work at SCGO?

A self-exclusion you set at VBET or one of the VBET sister sites covers all your gambling with SCGO unless you limit it to some accounts, and under the Gambling Commission's self-exclusion condition SCGO must take all reasonable steps to apply it to accounts with its group companies. The house rules above decide what a deposit buys. The tools below decide how much you deposit at all, and every site here is for adults 18 or over.

• Deposit limits: daily, weekly or monthly at VBET, Highbet, Arrowbet and Brotherbets, set in your account.
• Reality checks: from every 10 minutes to every 8 hours at VBET, and offered at Highbet, Arrowbet and Brotherbets too.
• Time-outs: 1 day to 6 weeks at VBET, and 24 hours, a week, a month or 6 weeks at Arrowbet and Brotherbets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sites are the VBET sister sites?

Arrowbet, Brotherbets and Highbet are the 3 verified VBET sister sites. SCGO Limited, a company registered in Malta, runs VBET's British site and holds the Gambling Commission licence they trade under as white-label sites. They share regulatory duties such as self-exclusion and the complaints route, but each sets its own offers, deposit minimums and withdrawal times.

How many accounts can you hold at Arrowbet?

Arrowbet allows one account per person at any one time, and if it finds duplicates it can suspend or close them and void any bonuses tied to them. Brotherbets has the same rule, so opening a second account at the same brand puts any bonus money you hold there at risk.

Is there wagering on Highbet's casino spins?

Highbet pays winnings from its 50 cash spins on Big Bass Splash as cash, with no wagering. You opt in, make a first deposit of at least £10 by debit card no later than 7 days after registering, then stake £10 on slots that day. The 10p spins expire after 7 days, and it's this or the sports welcome.

How long does a VBET withdrawal take?

VBET's withdrawals help page puts requests at up to 72 hours, the longer of its two stated figures, while its homepage FAQ gives up to 12 hours. The money goes back only to the method you deposited with, direct-bank withdrawals aren't offered, and a request can't be cancelled once you've submitted it.

Is VBET UK the same as the international VBET brand?

VBET UK is one company's British operation: vbet.co.uk is run by SCGO Limited under its Gambling Commission licence. The wider VBET brand, which began as Vivaro in Armenia in 2003, says it took licences in Curaçao, Malta and France from 2014 onwards. This page covers only the British site and the brands on SCGO's licence.

Does a self-exclusion at VBET also cover Brotherbets?

A self-exclusion at VBET covers Brotherbets too, because SCGO Limited holds the licence for both, unless you limit it to some accounts. SCGO must take all reasonable steps to apply it across its group companies. To block every other GB-licensed gambling site as well, you can register with GAMSTOP, which is free.
