Is Silkbet legit in the UK?

For the licence check, yes. The exact addresses silkbet.bet, silkbet.co.uk and silkbet.com sit under Silkbet Limited. That confirms the operator connection for those domains, not every website using a similar name.

Silkbet Limited has active remote permissions covering casino games, real-event betting and virtual-event betting. All three activities have been active since 7 May 2026. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

The licence connection is genuine, but that does not mean the customer service is fully open. The current Silkbet website remains a launch page and says the brand is launching in 2026. (silkbet.bet)

A check on 22 September 2026 found different levels of availability across the three registered domains:

• silkbet.bet: This displays Silkbet's public launch page rather than a working sportsbook or casino lobby.
• silkbet.co.uk: This redirected to silkbet.bet during the check.
• silkbet.com: This sits under the same operator but did not return a usable public customer page during the check.

The current setup looks pre-launch. Wait for the exact site to publish a working account area, full terms, withdrawal rules, customer support and a complaints procedure before depositing.

Silkbet Limited is the UK company behind the official Silkbet domains. Its Companies House profile lists it as an active private limited company incorporated on 24 October 2025. (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk)

The company's public control filings show Edward Robert Samuel Kelly holding more than 50% but less than 75% of the shares and voting rights. He also has the right to appoint or remove directors and is the sole current director shown on the company record.

James Charles Hughes holds more than 25% but not more than 50% of the shares and voting rights. These filings state control bands rather than exact ownership percentages. (find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk)

A public announcement from Digitain identifies Ed Kelly as Silkbet's CEO and says Digitain is supplying turnkey betting and casino technology. That is a supplier partnership, not a statement that Digitain owns Silkbet. (digitain.com)

No separate trading names or additional brands are confirmed for Silkbet Limited. The three registered addresses are different domains for the same Silkbet brand, not three separate casinos or bookmakers.

There are no confirmed sister sites to list at present. Do not assume another Silkbet-style address belongs to the company unless the exact domain appears on its official Gambling Commission record.

Open the official Gambling Commission record for account 101183. Check that the business name is Silkbet Limited and that the head office is in Grosvenor Square, Southampton.

The casino, real-event betting and virtual-event betting activities should all show as active and current. You should also confirm that the exact Silkbet domain you are visiting belongs to the company.

If the website footer names a different operator, uses another regulatory record or sends you to an unlisted address, stop before registering, uploading ID or making a payment.

Start by sending a formal complaint through the support or complaints channel on the exact Silkbet site you used. Save copies of the relevant terms, account balance, deposits, withdrawals, bets, screenshots and every message exchanged with support.

The Gambling Commission says players must complain to the gambling business first. The operator normally has up to eight weeks to resolve the complaint, after which you may be able to use the Alternative Dispute Resolution provider named in its complaints procedure. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

The Commission does not decide disputes about gambling transactions or customer service itself. Its official complaints guide explains the correct route. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

• Use one of the three exact domains connected to Silkbet Limited.
• Make sure the site has moved beyond its launch page and offers a working account area.
• Check that the footer names Silkbet Limited and links to the correct official record.
• Read the withdrawal, identity-check, payment and complaints terms before paying in.
• Confirm that customer support is working and keep copies of anything important.

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and use limits or self-exclusion if gambling stops feeling manageable.

Casinos can be hard to contact, if you're struggling to get in touch with them via email then you can try writing to the address they've provided on file. This is listed under the UK Gambling Commission and so should be a mailing address which will respond to any requests.

Here's all the live domains running under Silkbet Limited. They're all actively licensed under the UK Gambling Commission.

The below domains are no longer marked as active for Silkbet Limited. It is highly recommended you do not use them, as they may have been registered by a third party among many other reasons.
