All Playbook Gaming Sites 2024

Vickers

You only need to take one look at Vickers to realise that this is a comprehensive sports betting website. If you can’t bet on your chosen sport at Vickers, you probably need to double-check to make sure that your chosen sport exists and that you haven’t just made it up. The long list of available sports on the left-hand side of this pea-green Playbook Gaming casino is truly impressive – and no, we haven’t made a mistake by calling Vickers a casino. Its homepage might be dedicated to sports betting, but if you cast your eye to the top of the screen, you’ll notice that Vickers also hosts both an online slots and table games casino and a live dealer casino section to go with it.

Vickers welcomes gamers of all types and provides options for all of them. Horse racing is the site’s bread and butter, which is why the bulk of the homepage contains a list of races ordered by start time, but the full list of sports includes hurling, Gaelic football, volleyball, and even a section for TV-related and special bets that have nothing to do with sports whatsoever. Vickers is a well-run, well-established family bookmaker with a history that goes back more than thirty years – long before the arrival of the internet in most people’s homes – and has taken to the digital world like a duck to water. There are still some physical Vickers bookmakers and betting shops in the UK, but the company now does the bulk of its business on the internet – and this is the site it does its business on.

Bet Zone

Comparing the screenshots above and below, you might think that BetZone is a reskin of Vickers with a different colour scheme – and you wouldn’t be far wrong. Both of these Playbook Gaming Ltd casinos operate on a white-label basis, meaning that Playbook provided their owners with a template and then allowed them to stamp their own logos on it, with a few adjustments made in both cases. While the layout of BetZone is identical to that of Vickers, you’ll notice there’s a greater focus on football betting and in-play betting at BetZone. Horse racing is still given the lion’s share of the spotlight, but most of the promotions are football-related, and there’s a wider selection of football bets available via the link at the top of the homepage.

Aside from that, the range of sports betting options you’ll find at BetZone ought to look very familiar. The online slots casino and live casino options are more of the same, too. BetZone is the official online presence of Bet21 Limited, which was formerly known as Stan James. The company operates almost fifty betting shops in the UK and has been taking bets on sporting matters since 1973. Much like Vickers, BetZone and Bet21 have embraced the online format rather than shying away from it and are reaping the rewards of that policy via this website.

BresBet

If you’re visiting these Playbook Gaming sites in order, the template should already have begun to look very familiar by the time you arrive at BresBet. However, the template probably hasn’t looked quite this pretty before. The blue and purple colour scheme is an attractive one and brings the slightly-crowded layout of the Bresbet homepage to life. As is always the case when you’re dealing with white-label casino sites, though, there are subtle but important differences between the casinos. You’ll find that the list of available sports to bet on at Bresbet is shorter than at the other two sites we’ve looked at thus far, and political betting is off the menu.

Nevertheless, all the popular sports are covered, and to make up for the absence of the ones that are missing, there’s a “Bresbet boosts” section for special bets. These are enhanced-odds bets that you won’t find at the other Playbook Gaming  sites. Horse racing must be the default choice of focus for the Playbook white-label range because it’s presented front and centre at Bresbet just as it is everywhere else. The site is a recent addition to the Playbook Gaming range and was launched in 2021 by gambler-turned-entrepreneur Nic Brereton. Nic also owns greyhounds and racehorses, and a proportion of the money he makes from this site goes to the Bresbet Foundation, which supports animal welfare charities. This is the least experienced of the Playbook Gaming Ltd casino sites by some distance – and also the least experienced owner from a digital point of view – but the early signs are that the lack of experience isn’t counting against the site.

Rhino Bet

It would be easy to write Rhino Bet off as yet another lookalike Playbook Gaming site, but that isn’t the right way of looking at it. Rhino Bet isn’t a copy of the other casino sites in the Playbook range. All of the other casino sites are copies of Rhino Bet. That’s because Rhino Bet is the only casino site in the family that’s wholly owned and operated by Playbook Gaming Ltd. It’s the company’s flagship casino site and also, in effect, a walking billboard. Rhino Bet undoubtedly makes money for Playbook, but it’s also the site that prospective partners look at before they decide whether they’d like to invest in a white-label Playbook Gaming Ltd casino site of their own. That makes it all the more curious that it has a much smaller range than any of the white-label sites. The list of available sports to bet on is noticeably shorter than any of its sister sites, and there are fewer options across the top of the screen, too.

Still, all the basic options are covered, and the casino sections are still present, so the core of the Playbook range is here. Considering this is the only directly-owned Playbook Gaming site in the range, it might surprise you to learn that it launched relatively recently – and smack-bang in the middle of a global pandemic. They say that their streamlined approach allows them to focus on the sports and bets that matter most to their customers and that covering fewer sports allows them to focus on providing superior customer service and spend more time coming up with excellent customer incentives. Customer reviews indicate that you might sometimes be able to find better odds on big sporting fixtures here than you’ll find at some of the bigger sports betting sites on the web.

Planet Sport Bet

After checking out the relatively reserved betting selection of Rhino Bet, the next Playbook Gaming Ltd casino site on our list gives us the longest list of them all. It’s hard to imagine that there’s a sport in the world that isn’t covered by Planet Sport Bet, but then the site wouldn’t be worthy of the name “Planet Sport Bet” if it didn’t offer players a whole world of sports to bet on. Football betting on this website is so comprehensive that it goes all the way down to the Lithuanian A-League, and you can expect similar depth on whatever other sports you might wish to bet on. It isn’t the most memorable casino site you’ll ever come across, offering a fairly plain take on the standard Playbook Gaming template, but most players know that content trumps good looks when it comes to casino sites.

The offering at Planet Sport Bet is more than substantial, and coupled with the range of live and non-live casino games and slots, there ought to be more than enough here to keep the vast majority of players entertained. Planet Sport Bet is linked to Planet Sport – the same independent sports network that owns TEAMTalk and Football 365. The company has existed since 1997 and has worked with many sports betting firms in the past, so the fact that they’ve decided to move to the Playbook Gaming Ltd platform is a real vote of confidence in the network company and the white-label platform. The lack of reviews for Planet Sport Bet at Trustpilot (all of its sister sites have been reviewed multiple times) indicates that this might be the least popular site of the five on the network, but it does enough business to stay afloat and is regularly promoted by the company behind the brand.

DragonBet

DragonBet is the only one of the Playbook Gaming sites to have a past life on a different iGaming network. Until about halfway through 2023, DragonBet belonged to a network company called EGG Limited. It was a delightful name, and if we’re honest, we still miss being able to make egg puns when we write about DragonBet. That’s by the by, though. EGG Limited belonged to the same family who’ve owned the DragonBet brand since the moment of its launch, but 2023 was the year that the family decided that the time had finally come to grow their burgeoning brand’s horizons.

Up until the point that DragonBet made its big and bold move to become one of the Playbook Gaming sites, it had been almost exclusively focused on Welsh sports. Other sports were still covered, but if you loaded the old DragonBet website and went looking for football odds, you’d see Welsh football before you saw English Premier League football, which might have made this the only sports betting website in the world where things appeared that way round. Welsh horse racing is still featured above horse racing elsewhere even today. The site promises more coverage of Welsh sport than any other betting company, and it stands by that promise even now that it’s got a new network and format.

YeeeHaaa

With a name like Yeeehaaa, it’s probably fair to accuse this most recent arrival in the Playbook Gaming sites family of being a little bit giddy. It’s also taking a risk with its name, because you can’t Google the name of a betting site if you can’t spell it, and remembering how many vowels there are in “Yeeehaaa” isn’t easy. Yeeehaaa Bet (that’s the brand’s full name) is clearly very proud of its name, though, and uses it to make several name-related puns on its homepage. In fact, not entirely taking things seriously is pretty much Yeeehaaa’s calling card.

In the “about us” section of the Yeeehaaa Bet website, the brand promises to serve as a friendly face in what it sees as an increasingly busy and daunting world of faceless betting firms. That’s despite the fact that there isn’t a single human face to look at on the Yeeehaaa Bet website, which is another questionable branding move. Regardless of whether you meticulously research every bet you make or you just go with gut instinct, Yeeehaaa Bet is on hand to provide you with a fun experience.

Playbook Gaming Latest News

17th April 2024: Playbook Gaming Ltd’s sportsbooks may not frequently make the news, but they do make news on their own platforms, such as the latest blog from Dragon Bet detailing Wrexham’s potential for clinching another promotion. This comes after a spectacular season that could see them celebrating consecutive promotions for the first time in their club history. The possibility hinges on their next match against Forest Green Rovers at home. Should they win and rivals MK Dons and Barrow falter in their respective games, Wrexham’s leap to a higher league will be secured. Despite the high stakes, manager Phil Parkinson emphasises maintaining focus on their own performance without distraction from external outcomes. The odds are certainly in their favour, with DragonBet sister sites listing Wrexham as firm favourites against the struggling Rovers.

Currently sitting second in the league table and buoyed by four wins in their last five matches, the team is in strong form. This includes stellar contributions from Paul Mullin, the club’s leading striker, whose recent accolades include the League Two player of the month. Mullin, alongside right wing-back Ryan Barnett and key player Elliott Lee, are pivotal to Wrexham’s push for promotion. Their imminent success could not only mark a historic moment for the club but also validate the ambitious vision set by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who aim to propel the club back to prominence. With just one more victory needed and potential celebration on the horizon, Wrexham stands on the brink of ascending to League One for the first time since 2004, a fitting climax to this chapter of their storied legacy.

5th January 2024: This week, the sports betting community OLBG reviewed Dragon Bet, a member of the Playbook Gaming Limited family. Dragon Bet, self-proclaimed as the “Bookmaker of Wales,” offers unique markets not found elsewhere in the UK, particularly focusing on Welsh sports and events. The review by OLBG provides a comprehensive look at Dragon Bet’s offerings, including key facts, new player offers, features, and a balanced view of its pros and cons. For new UK customers, Dragon Bet presents a welcoming offer: Bet £15, Get £10. This offer is available upon signing up with the promo code bet15get10, requiring a minimum deposit and first bet of £15 on sportsbook markets with minimum odds of 2.00+. The bonus expires in 7 days, subject to full terms and conditions.

The review highlights Dragon Bet’s strengths, including excellent customer service, a user-friendly app and website, and its unique focus on Welsh sports. However, it also points out some limitations, such as the absence of esports betting and limited payment method options. The deposit and withdrawal processes are straightforward, with funds typically returned to accounts within 48 hours. The primary withdrawal methods are via bank card and bank transfer. Dragon Bet’s live betting and streaming services are noted for their quality, particularly for horse racing and greyhounds. The betting odds are competitive across various sports, including football, racing, rugby, and tennis. The mobile app is praised for its functionality and ease of use, catering to both novice and experienced bettors. The review by OLBG provides a detailed and balanced perspective, making it a valuable resource for bettors considering Dragon Bet.

BoyleSports offers a combined sports and casino bonus, giving bettors £20 in Free Bets plus a £10 Casino Bonus when they bet £10.

Rhino Bet, with its Bet £25 Get a £10 Free Bet offer, stands out for its straightforward and user-friendly approach. This offer is particularly appealing to those looking for a simple yet rewarding betting experience.

14th December 2023: Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of the iGaming industry can be a daunting task, especially with the constant influx of new casinos to keep track of. However, this week, the reputable platform, Bojoko, has simplified this process by compiling a comprehensive list of the best new casinos in 2023. This list serves as a definitive guide to the most notable newcomers in the online casino world, highlighting those that have made a significant impact. Although it is worth noting that not all sites are brand-new for 2023; some simply came to iGaming fame. Among the myriad of new entries, several sites under the Playbook Engineering umbrella, including Rhino Bet, have garnered attention for their innovative approach and user-friendly platforms. These sites have been recognised for their commitment to providing a seamless gaming experience, coupled with a diverse range of games and attractive bonus offers.

The inclusion of Rhino Bet and its sister sites on Bojoko’s list is a testament to their quality and the positive reception they have received from players. The importance of such lists cannot be overstated in an industry where staying updated with the latest and most reliable online casinos is crucial for players. These new casinos not only bring fresh gaming experiences but also introduce advanced features and interfaces, setting new standards in the online gambling sector. Bojoko’s efforts in curating this list provide a valuable resource for players looking to explore new gaming avenues, ensuring they have access to safe, enjoyable, and potentially lucrative online casino options as we head into 2024.

6th December 2023: talkSPORT has recently highlighted Rhino Bet, a platform by Playbook Gaming Limited, as a standout choice for online betting in December 2023. This recognition comes amidst a surge in new betting sites in the UK, each vying for the attention of punters with innovative offerings and competitive odds. Rhino Bet, established in 2021, distinguishes itself with an intuitive user interface and a mobile-focused design, ensuring ease of navigation and betting on a variety of sports, including horse racing, football, and snooker. The platform’s user-friendly approach is complemented by a range of promotions designed to enhance the betting experience. These include accumulator boosters, free bets, and money-back offers, catering to a diverse range of betting preferences.

However, Rhino Bet is not without its limitations. One notable drawback is the relatively limited range of sports markets compared to some of its more established competitors. This could be a point of consideration for punters seeking extensive betting options across a wider array of sports. The talkSPORT article also delves into other new betting sites, each with their unique strengths and weaknesses, offering insights into the evolving landscape of online sports betting in the UK. The other sportsbooks mentioned in the article include Sky Bet, BetVictor, and Luckster Sports. The focus on Rhino Bet by talkSPORT underscores the platform’s potential in providing a compelling betting experience, albeit with certain areas for improvement. As the industry continues to grow, such platforms are poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of online sports betting.

24th November 2023: Slingo Space Invaders, a game by Slingo Originals and Gaming Realms, is a unique blend of classic arcade gaming and modern Slingo mechanics, and has arrived at the Playbook Gaming Limited casinos this week. This game, inspired by the iconic 1980s arcade game, features a 5×5 grid with up to 12 winning lines and an engaging bonus round. It’s designed to evoke nostalgia while offering a fresh twist with improved visual and sound effects, maintaining the original design and feel of the classic game. The gameplay involves a standard Slingo format where players mark off numbers on a grid, aiming to complete as many Slingo lines as possible within 12 rounds. Special symbols like Wilds and Super Wilds add to the excitement, allowing players to mark off numbers more strategically. The game also features a unique bonus round where players engage in a shootout with aliens, reminiscent of the original Space Invaders gameplay.

In terms of rewards, the game offers a pay ladder with 11 steps, each offering different prizes ranging from cash coins to bonus game multipliers. The first two Slingo lines don’t award anything, but subsequent lines provide increasing rewards. Additionally, players can earn bonus lives to use in the minigame, enhancing their chances of winning. The Slingo Space Invaders slot also includes a feature for buying up to 8 Extra Spins at the end of the 12-line cycle, allowing players to extend their game for a price, adding an element of risk and strategy to the game. Overall, Slingo Space Invaders stands out as a significant release in the iGaming landscape, showcasing Slingo Originals’ ability to innovate and adapt classic games into modern hybrid online slot experiences.

13th November 2023: In a strategic move set to bolster its operational framework, Playbook Engineering, operating alongside Playbook Gaming Limited, has welcomed a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) to its ranks. The news, as reported by SBC News, highlights the appointment of Jonathan Chilton, a figure with a formidable track record in the iGaming industry. Playbook Engineering stands as a beacon of innovation in the gaming sector, offering bespoke technology solutions that enhance the customer experience and drive business growth. The firm’s latest executive team member, Chilton, comes with an impressive dossier of accomplishments, including significant stints at prominent gaming firms where he played a pivotal role in steering operational success and technological advancements.

With a proven leader at the operational helm, the company is set to further solidify its position in the market, delivering on its promise of technological excellence and customer satisfaction.

2nd November 2023: Earlier this month, talkSPORT did what it does best; chewed the fat on which new UK sportsbooks are worth your time and money, and which should be left to fade into obscurity. After pointing out that the online betting landscape in the UK is undergoing a transformation, they elucidated how the heart of this evolution beats to the drum of one of the most popular platforms belonging to Playbook Gaming Limited, we are, of course, talking about Rhino Bet, which has distinguished itself as one of the foremost betting platforms in a time when sports bettors constantly seek innovative platforms to enhance their betting experiences. Regardless of the deluge of competition, Rhino Bet has a major cross-over appeal and has the ability to resonate with bettors across the spectrum.

Why the buzz around Rhino Bet? For starters, it’s not just another sportsbook. It exemplifies a marriage of user-friendly interfaces with robust functionalities, ensuring that bettors, whether rookies or seasoned, find what they’re looking for effortlessly. Its diverse range of betting markets means there’s something for every sports aficionado, from football to tennis and beyond. Moreover, Rhino Bet prioritises the security and privacy of its users, so bets are not just potentially profitable but also safe. Rhino Bet also never skimps on bonuses and promotions. The platform is generous, rolling out enticing offers that serve both to welcome new users and to reward loyal punters. This blend of comprehensive features and user-centric services makes it evident why Rhino Bet stands tall amid the burgeoning competition.

26th October 2023: This week, Casino Alpha rounded up several of the best fast-withdrawal casinos in the UK, and multiple sites belonging to Playbook Gaming Limited featured on the list. With its 4.2 / 5-star review, Planet Sport Bet entered the list at number six; in the snapshot overview, the casino expert alphas mentioned the 50 free spins on Starburst for all new players who sign up and deposit a minimum of £20. The platform was also lauded as being one of the better ones for bettors who like to split their bets between football wagers and hitting live dealer tables and roulette wheels.

Rhino Bet charged in hot on the heels of Planet Sport Bet at number 7; however, this platform was recommended over the former for high-rolling bettors, plus, there is a handful of extra free spins on the cards to anyone who qualifies for the promotional package. At Rhino Casino, you will receive 75 free whirls of the slot game which is single-handedly responsible for the Megaways mechanic legacy, Bonanza, by Big Time Gaming. As an additional perk, the wagering requirements also tend to be lower. Other sites which are capable of dishing out the wins the very same day – depending on the withdrawal method – include Casushi, Bally Casino, and Betfred Casino. Whichever you choose to give your custom to, it is unlikely that you will be disappointed by the experience – at least in terms of payout waiting times, they all boast an almost unbeatable track record with record-speed withdrawals.

12th October 2023: The iGaming industry thrives on collaborative partnerships, so it was apparently major news when European Gaming brought it to public attention that Playbook Engineering (the developmental side of Playbook Gaming Limited) will be embarking on a brand-new venture with DragonBet. European Gaming declared this new collaboration as a major boost to the online presence of the leading global betting platform provider, which is hardly a revelation, given that this is how all new ventures are touted, when is it ever expressed as the opposite? Nevertheless, there is plenty of optimism lingering within the prospect of Playbook Engineering supplying its solution to DragonBet.

If you have read our previous news updates, you will already know that DragonBet has been flying its Welsh flag under the Playbook Gaming Limited banner for quite some time – it is practically the spitting sportsbook image of Rhino Bet and the other sites in Playbook’s portfolio! The CEO of Playbook still argued that the betting brand is always eager to develop exciting new alliances with brands, and it is great to count DragonBet as a partner, given its highly promising up-and-coming status. According to the CEO, DragonBet already has a significant footprint in Wales, and she hopes to stretch that footprint throughout the UK and beyond into the international market. On the flip side, the DragonBet CEO also attempted to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes by stating that significant changes will be made to the user interface, and the sportsbook will continue to evolve into one that helps the brand grow.

The Playbook Proposition

The full range of services available through Playbook includes full player account management, payment solutions, full “Know Your Customer” assistance, bespoke promotion and bonus offers, and an enormous sportsbook hosting thousands of events each week, including in-play markets. All Playbook’s business partners also receive a CRM system with a visual dashboard to manage their casino and live casino content. This is a long-winded way of saying that if somebody wanted to have their name stamped on a sportsbook or casino website but leave the running of that website entirely to somebody else, Playbook can make that happen. This might have been the attraction that brought Vickers, BetZone and Planet Sports aboard with the brand.

The technology that Playbook Gaming Ltd uses in its day-to-day operations is described as “best in class” and is used to solve what the company refers to as “fascinating challenges” across its many platforms every day. A full list of the specific development and infrastructure technologies used by Playbook is available to peruse on their website, but we won’t list it in full here.

Careers at Playbook

If you have an interest in the casino industry and you like the sound of Playbook, you might be interested to know that the company is in a constant state of hiring. We’ve mentioned that the head offices of this casino network company can be found in London, but Playbook also has a second office in Krakow, Poland, and is interested in finding new people to work at both sites. There are currently vacancies in the product, engineering, and operations teams. You can even get to know some of the people who already work for Playbook by clicking on the profiles that can be found in the “careers” section of the website, all of which link directly to the LinkedIn profiles of the individuals in question. Very few casino network companies make their staff accessible in this manner, so it’s a sign of how proud the company is of its people and also how sure it is that angry customers won’t go looking for them that it has the confidence to list those profiles here.
