TLDR Some BresBet customers are having trouble withdrawing funds, according to the UK Gambling Commission. The regulator suspended the licences of BresBet Ltd and Bet St George Ltd on 28 August 2026 over suspected social responsibility and anti-money laundering failings. Both operators surrendered their licences on 4 September 2026. Administrators from BTG were appointed at Bet St George on 16 October 2026. Bet St George customers owed money are told to email betstgeorge@btguk.com, while the regulator awaits more information on BresBet.
Some customers of online betting firm BresBet are having trouble getting their money out, according to the Gambling Commission. The UK regulator says it is aware of the problem and will share more details when it has them.
The issue follows a licence suspension in late August. BresBet and a second operator, Bet St George, both lost the right to run their gambling businesses in Britain.
Why the Licences Were Suspended
On 28 August 2026, the Gambling Commission suspended the operating licences of BresBet Ltd and Bet St George Ltd. BresBet runs bresbet.com, and Bet St George operates betstgeorge.com.
BresBet Ltd held operating licence number 065252-R-340096-002. Bet St George Ltd held licence number 067818-R-341699-001.
The regulator said the move followed its own enquiries. Those enquiries revealed suspected social responsibility and anti-money laundering failings at both firms.
The Commission said it would review both licences under section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005. It added that the suspension would stay in place until it was satisfied the businesses were compliant.
At the time, the regulator told both firms they must treat customers fairly. It also said they had to keep customers fully informed about any changes affecting them.
The suspension took effect right away. However, it did not stop either operator from letting customers access their accounts
