Are the former TGP Europe sites still UKGC licensed?

No, not through TGP Europe. As of 6 August 2026, the company has no active domains on its Gambling Commission record. Its remote casino, gambling software and betting permissions are all marked Surrendered, with an end date of 15 May 2025. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

The Gambling Commission said TGP Europe left the British market following an investigation. It said the company surrendered after being told it would need to pay a £3.3 million penalty and make significant improvements, and warned that sites previously run under TGP were unlicensed for GB consumers after the exit. Read the Commission’s announcement. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

This means an old TGP Europe footer, licence statement or logo is not proof that a former domain is currently licensed for players in Great Britain.

Former TGP Europe brands and domains

TGP Europe’s inactive domain list includes well-known names such as FUN88, SBOTOP, BK8, Stake UK, Sportsbet.io, SportPesa, 12BET, BC.GAME, Duelbits and DEBET. The complete list is:

  • 12bet.uk, 138.co.uk, 6686sports.co.uk, 8xbet.co.uk, 96uk.com and bcgame.uk
  • betvision.com, bj-88.co.uk, bk8.uk, bk8now.uk, bob88.co.uk and de-bet.co.uk
  • duelbits.co.uk, fun78.com, fun88.co.uk, kaiyun.co.uk, nova88bet.co.uk and sbotop.co.uk
  • sportpesa.uk, sportsbetio.uk, stake.uk.com, tlcbet.co.uk, tlcbet.com and uk-wl.co.uk
Every domain above is recorded as inactive under TGP Europe. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

Players often call these sister sites, but that can be misleading. The Commission records no formal trading names for TGP Europe, and described its business model as running gambling sites using branding supplied by other businesses. The safest description is former white-label domains operated under the same TGP Europe licence, not a confirmed list of brands with one ultimate owner. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

Who owns TGP Europe and its white-label brands?

The legal company named on the former GB record is TGP Europe Limited. It acted as the licensed operator for the listed white-label websites, while other businesses provided the consumer-facing branding. That does not prove TGP Europe owned FUN88, SBOTOP, BK8, Stake or every other connected brand. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

The Gambling Commission has confirmed that it holds information about TGP Europe’s ultimate ownership, but it does not publish those details beyond information already available to the public. There is therefore no publicly verified individual ultimate owner we can name with confidence. Read the official ownership response. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

How to verify TGP Europe on the official register

Open the official TGP Europe register page and match account number 38898. The licence summary should show all four remote activities as Surrendered, ending on 15 May 2025. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

Check these details before trusting an old licence claim:

  • Business name: TGP Europe Limited
  • Current GB status: surrendered, not active
  • Listed domains: all marked inactive
  • Trading names: none recorded
  • Head office: Douglas, Isle of Man
(gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

How to contact TGP Europe

The head office address shown on the Commission’s record is TGP Europe Limited, 22A Castle Street, Douglas, IM1 2EZ, Isle of Man. Use the exact former brand or domain name in any written correspondence so the company can identify which account you mean. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

TGP Europe also maintains a corporate contact page. It appears aimed mainly at general or business enquiries rather than being a dedicated player helpdesk, but it may be useful if the original brand support page is unavailable. (tgpeurope.com)

For an account query, include your username, registered email address, exact domain, disputed balance, relevant dates and transaction references. Keep copies of every message, and verify the recipient before sending identity or banking documents.

How to complain or chase an account balance

Start by sending a clear written complaint to the former brand or TGP Europe. State what happened, how much money is involved, what evidence you have and the outcome you want. Screenshots, withdrawal records and copies of previous support chats can help.

The Gambling Commission says players should complain to the gambling business first. Its standard process allows up to eight weeks for a resolution, after which you may be able to use the relevant Alternative Dispute Resolution provider. The Commission does not decide individual betting, balance or withdrawal disputes. Follow the official complaints guide. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

If a former TGP Europe domain is accepting registrations or deposits from people in Great Britain without another active GB licensee, use the Commission’s confidential reporting service. This is for reporting potentially unlicensed activity, not for deciding whether a player should be paid. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

What if a former TGP Europe site still opens?

An opening homepage, app, redirect or old UKGC footer does not prove current authorisation. Match the exact domain and legal company against the live Commission register before logging in, depositing or providing personal documents. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)

None of the exact domains listed on this page is active under TGP Europe’s record. If one now names a different GB operator, verify that company and domain separately. If you cannot match it to an active Commission record, do not deposit. (gamblingcommission.gov.uk)
