Updated: 2026-11-07

On the UK Gambling Commission register, Sky Bet's sports betting licence is recorded against SBG Sports Limited, account number 67370, status Active from 6 October 2025. The earlier record, Bonne Terre Limited, number 38718, is noted as Surrendered on 31 October 2025. Both entries come from a reference note dated 6 November 2026, not yet re-read on the register.

## What changed on the register

The table sets the earlier record beside the current one. Read the status and date columns first, because they decide which company a licence check should name.

**Sky Bet licensee records · source: reference note of 6 November 2026, based on the UKGC public register · page date 7 November 2026**

| Item | Earlier record | Current record |
|---|---|---|
| Licensee | Bonne Terre Limited | SBG Sports Limited |
| Account number | 38718 | 67370 |
| Status | Surrendered | Active |
| Date noted | 31 October 2025 | Active from 6 October 2025 |
| Activity for betting | Not verified | General Betting Standard – Real Event Remote |
| Register re-read on the day of publication | Not verified | Not verified |

**The short version:** the register names SBG Sports Limited as the current Sky Bet licensee, and the earlier company is shown as surrendered.

## Where the information comes from

We rely on two kinds of source. The first is the register card for each account number, which shows licensee, status and dates. The second is the Commission's list of regulatory actions on the same card.

The register cards are at [account 67370](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register/business/detail/67370) and [account 38718](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register/business/detail/38718). Neither card has been re-read for this page, so the table above is marked accordingly.

We do not state why the licensee changed, because the register does not say and we have no document that does.

## Who this affects

Anyone who checks a bookmaker's licence before betting. If you search the register for the old company name, you will find a surrendered record, which is not a sign of a problem on its own. The current account is the one to read.

Our own pages are affected in a narrow way. The Sky Bet profile and the licence record must name the licensee that is Active on the day we publish. See the [Sky Bet profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/sky-bet/) and the [Sky Bet licence record](https://eachwayatlas.uk/licence/sky-bet-licence/).

**The short version:** use the account that shows Active, and ignore a surrendered record for the same brand.

## How to check it yourself

1. Open the Gambling Commission public register of businesses and search by account number 67370.
2. Confirm that the status reads Active and that the activity covers betting.
3. Read the trading names and domain names on the card, and compare them with the site you use.
4. Look at the regulatory actions on the same card before you deposit.

The full routine is on the page about [how to check that a bookmaker is licensed](https://eachwayatlas.uk/licence/how-to-check-a-bookmaker-is-licensed/). Our dated register records are in the [licence snapshot](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/licence-snapshot/).

## What changes on this site

Until the register is re-read on the day of publication, the Sky Bet licence status on this site stays Not verified. We will replace that marker with "Licence checked on" and the date once the card has been read.

This note is kept in the [change log](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/changelog/), and the checking rules are on the page about [how we check our facts](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-we-check/).
