Is AK Bets legit in the UK?

Yes, in the licence-check sense. As of 5 August 2026, akbets.bet is live and appears as an Active domain under Akbo Limited on the UK Gambling Commission register.

The same entry shows active casino, real-event betting and virtual-event betting activities, all starting on 27 March 2025. This confirms the domain and company match, but it does not guarantee that every player complaint will be settled in the player's favour.

  • Public brand: AK Bets
  • Active domain: akbets.bet
  • UK licence holder: Akbo Limited
  • Listed activities: casino, real-event betting and virtual-event betting

Who owns and runs AK Bets?

For UK player checks, Akbo Limited is the key company because it is the licence holder attached to akbets.bet on the regulator's register.

A public interview with AK Bets identifies Anthony Kaminskas as the brand's founder. More recent betting industry coverage describes him as its chief executive.

That establishes a clear management link, but it is not proof of personal share ownership. The practical answer for players is that Akbo Limited holds the UK licence, while Kaminskas is publicly identified as the founder and CEO.

Why does the AK Bets footer mention Star Racing Ltd?

The live AK Bets footer currently names Star Racing Ltd in its UK licensing wording, while the Gambling Commission entry connected to that wording names Akbo Limited. Those two public references do not line up cleanly.

For a current licence check or formal complaint, use Akbo Limited and match the exact akbets.bet domain. Do not treat the Star Racing footer reference alone as proof that Star Sports or another Star Racing brand shares Akbo Limited's licence.

How to verify AK Bets on the official GC register

  1. Open the official Akbo Limited register entry, account 66030.
  2. Confirm that the company name is Akbo Limited.
  3. Open the domain-name section and check that akbets.bet is marked Active.
  4. Check that the casino and betting activities still show Active before depositing.

Use the live regulator page if it differs from a review, search-result snippet or licensing statement in a site footer.

How to contact AK Bets or make a complaint

Start with the official AK Bets Help and Support page. If you cannot use the logged-in contact route, the site also lists a public Give Us Feedback page.

For a formal complaint, clearly label it as a complaint and include dates, amounts, bet or transaction references, screenshots and the outcome you want. Keep copies of every message and ask the operator to confirm that the case has entered its complaints process.

The Gambling Commission says you must complain to the operator first and that a business has up to eight weeks to resolve the case. If you remain unhappy with the final outcome, you may be able to use an ADR provider, so follow the official gambling complaint guide.

For written correspondence, the address listed by the regulator is Akbo Limited, 186 Harolds Cross Road, Terenure, Dublin 6W, D6W X381, Ireland. Include your account email and complaint reference, but send sensitive identity documents only through an official secure channel.

Does AK Bets have sister sites?

There are no confirmed sister sites under Akbo Limited's UK licence. The regulator lists only akbets.bet, with no other active or inactive domains and no separate trading names.

A similar site design, shared supplier or historic business link is not enough to prove common ownership. Treat another gambling site as an AK Bets sister brand only when current regulator or company records connect them.

Quick checks before depositing

  • Make sure the address is exactly akbets.bet, not a lookalike domain.
  • Match the domain to Akbo Limited on the official register.
  • Read the current AK Bets terms and conditions before playing.
  • Save copies of important account messages, transaction records and complaint references.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and use the site's safer gambling tools if play stops feeling manageable.
