Sky Bet review (UK)
A polished app with quick published withdrawals and no Gambling Commission penalty since 2023. The trade-offs are a narrower payment list and prices that sit around the market average.

What it does well
Sky Bet's app is the reason to choose it. It scores 4.67 on iOS and 4.63 on Android, and the Android figure is unusually strong. Request A Bet and BuildABet are simple to use, and Acca Freeze lets you lock in a winning leg of a five-leg accumulator on selected football markets.
Payments
Sky Bet publishes clear times: Pay by Bank withdrawals are immediate, eligible Visa and Mastercard withdrawals take 1 to 4 hours, and standard card withdrawals take 2 to 5 working days. Revolut Pay is usually instant. Visa and Mastercard debit, Apple Pay, Pay by Bank and Revolut Pay are supported. PayPal and Google Pay are not.
Prices
Sky Bet landed almost exactly on the sportsbook average in our sample. It matched the best price less often than most rivals, so it is worth comparing before you bet.
Changes to know about
The licence moved in late 2025. Sky Bet now sits under SBG Sports Limited, not Bonne Terre Limited, although the App Store listing still shows the old name. Flutter moved Sky Betting & Gaming to a new platform in April 2026, and said this disrupted the brand before recovery from June.
We found no Gambling Commission penalty for the Sky entities in 2023 to 2026. The Information Commissioner's Office reprimanded Bonne Terre in September 2024 over advertising cookies set without valid consent.
