Hopa overview
Hopa is a tier-1-licensed sportsbook tracked in the SharkBetting Atlas. The brand was first registered online in 2001, giving it roughly 25 years of operating history. It holds 1 active licence, from MGA, a tier-1 regulator. Public hosting infrastructure is classified as tier-1 hosting (Amazon.com, Inc.).
Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 71 out of 100 (high 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hopa safe?
Hopa has a Trust Score of 69/100 with high data confidence. It rates in the middle of the atlas: licensing 80/100, reviews 53/100, corporate 10/100, security 38/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.
Who owns Hopa?
Hopa is operated by White Hat Gaming Limited. The same operator family also runs bet-target, betiton, betregal, chezacash and 13 other brands. Verified ownership matters because the parent company holds the regulatory licence, custody of player funds, and final responsibility for dispute resolution; corporate transparency is one of six components in the Trust Score v2 rubric.
What do third-party review platforms say about Hopa?
Hopa appears on multiple independent review aggregators that measure different aspects of player experience. A third-party dispute-mediation service, which mediates player complaints with operators, scores 7.8/10. Open consumer-review platforms reflect sentiment from any consumer who chooses to post; dispute-mediation services reflect how an operator behaves when disputes are escalated, so the two metrics measure different things.
Where is Hopa available?
Hopa 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 Hopa?
Alternatives in the same operator family (parent groups: karamba, aspire-group) include bet-target, betiton, betregal, chezacash, frapapa 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 Hopa's site secure?
Hopa scores 38/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating noticeable hardening gaps. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade D; CDN: AWS CloudFront (+3); hosted on tier-1 infrastructure (Amazon.com, 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.
