Gamebookers overview
Online since 2000, Gamebookers runs as a sportsbook in the SharkBetting Atlas. Its primary domain has a verifiable online record dating back to 2000. It holds 1 active licence, from UKGC, a tier-1 regulator.
Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 71 out of 100 (medium confidence, above-average band). One gap worth noting: we found no disclosed ownership on record, so there is no named parent company behind the brand to hold accountable.
How Gamebookers became part of Entain
Our automated ownership check found no named parent, but Gamebookers' corporate lineage is well documented. It was one of the early European online sportsbooks, acquired by PartyGaming in 2006, which merged into bwin.party, was bought by GVC Holdings, and was renamed Entain plc. The brand therefore now sits inside Entain, a publicly listed FTSE company.
For a player the signal is that a large, regulated, publicly traded group stands behind the brand rather than an anonymous operator. As with any listed-parent brand, that corporate strength speaks to solvency and accountability and does not by itself decide an individual account dispute, which is handled through the licensing regulator.
Reading Gamebookers as a legacy brand inside a major group
Gamebookers is best understood as a legacy brand absorbed into a much larger operator through a long chain of industry consolidation, rather than an independent book competing on its own today. Its main significance is as part of the Entain portfolio.
For a player the practical implication is that the customer experience, compliance and account handling are shaped by the parent group's infrastructure rather than a standalone operation. The trust-relevant fact is the regulated, listed parent behind it; the brand's older identity is mostly historical context.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gamebookers safe?
Gamebookers has a Trust Score of 71/100 with medium data confidence. It rates well on independent signals: licensing 80/100, reviews 50/100, corporate 10/100, security 48/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.
Is Gamebookers licensed?
Gamebookers appears in regulator registers classified by the Trust Score v2 scorer as UKGC (tier-1). The licensing component scores 80/100 in Trust Score v2. Tier-1 status means strict KYC, AML, segregated player funds, and mandatory dispute resolution. Tier-2 covers Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Alderney, Kahnawake, and KSA-NL. Tier-3 covers Curacao-style light-touch frameworks.
When did Gamebookers launch?
Gamebookers was first indexed online in 2000 on the domain gamebookers.com, giving it roughly 26 years of recorded web history. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine is the source for this first-snapshot evidence; corporate registration may predate the first archived crawl. 26 years on the public web is a long-established operator history relative to the rest of the atlas, which spans operators founded between the late 1990s and the present.
Where is Gamebookers available?
Gamebookers accepts players from 1 jurisdiction per atlas data, including United Kingdom. Availability lists are derived from public terms-of-service pages and licence registers; geofencing rules can be tighter than what is publicly stated, and accounts opened from restricted IPs are usually voided. Always verify your specific country on the official site before depositing.
What are alternatives to Gamebookers?
Alternatives in the same operator family (parent groups: bwin, entain) include betboo, betmgm, borgata, bpremium, bwin-dk and 12 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 Gamebookers's site secure?
Gamebookers scores 48/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating a mid-tier security posture. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade D+; HSTS + CSP (+5); CDN: Cloudflare (+3). 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.
