Bob88 overview
Bob88 is a sportsbook tracked in the SharkBetting Bookmaker Atlas. Ultimate ownership traces back to Mr Jonathan Swerdlow through a 2-step corporate chain. Public hosting infrastructure is classified as tier-1 hosting (Cloudflare, Inc.).
Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 42 out of 100 (medium confidence, below-average band). The first thing to check is licensing: we found no active licence we can verify, so any consumer-protection recourse would rest on the operator's own policies. The UK Gambling Commission imposed a GBP 316,000 fine on the operator in 2023.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bob88 safe?
Bob88 has a Trust Score of 50/100 with medium data confidence. It rates in the middle of the atlas: licensing 0/100, reviews 50/100, corporate 80/100, security 10/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.
Who owns Bob88?
Bob88 is operated by TGP Europe Limited and ultimately owned by Mr Jonathan Swerdlow. The licensee is incorporated in England & Wales (company number 15611265). Disclosed corporate chain: TGP Europe Limited -> Mr Jonathan Swerdlow. The same operator family also runs 12bet, betvision, bk8, fun88 and 5 other brands.
What are alternatives to Bob88?
Alternatives in the same operator family (parent group: tgp-europe) include 12bet, betvision, bk8, fun88, sportpesa and 4 other branded clones. Same-family sites typically share the platform, licensing posture, payment rails, and corporate ownership, so a complaint pattern, regulator action, or AML failure at one site frequently recurs across siblings. Compare independent Trust Scores side by side before switching, and check whether the alternative holds the same licences in your country.
Is Bob88's site secure?
Bob88 scores 10/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating noticeable hardening gaps. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade F; DNS hygiene: no SPF/DMARC/DKIM (-5); hosted on tier-1 infrastructure (Cloudflare, Inc.). The security component blends HTTP-header hardening (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), TLS configuration, DNS hygiene (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), CDN/WAF presence, and hosting reputation; it does not assess the operator's internal security or breach history.
