Overview
LeoVegas Group dates its founding, by Gustaf Hagman and Robin Ramm-Ericson, to 2011 and its Swedish launch as a mobile-focused casino to 2012. LeoVegas Group became part of MGM Resorts International in 2022.
In Great Britain the operator is LeoVegas Gaming PLC, registered in Malta and licensed under Gambling Commission account 39198 for remote casino, bingo and betting. It holds no premises licences, so there are no LeoVegas shops, and the same company also runs BetMGM, BetUK, Pink Casino, Slot Boss and 21.co.uk.
Casino games still lead the homepage, but leovegas.co.uk has its own Sports section. In August 2026 the group moved it onto Tiger, a sportsbook it built in-house, and bets fall under LeoVegas's Sportsbook Rules dated 23 September 2026.
Key features
Bet Builder for football and basketball
Goals, cards, corners and match stats from one game in a single bet; one void leg voids the whole Bet Builder.
Flex Combi
A multiple where you choose how many legs must win, such as any three from five.
Cash Out before and during play
Selected singles and multiples can be settled early at the value offered, pre-match or live.
Bet Builder for a single race
Win, place and other picks from one race combined into a single bet, on selected races.
Race streams for bettors
Logged-in customers who have bet on a race can watch it live from a few moments before the off.
Conditional Best Odds Guaranteed
Selected UK and Irish races marked with a BOG symbol, for race-day bets and for customers LeoVegas selects.
Exclusion shared across sites
Self-exclusion and deposit limits apply across every LeoVegas Gaming PLC site; time-outs do not.
Sports & betting markets
Beyond football and racing, LeoVegas's betting pages cover basketball from the NBA to leagues in Turkey, the Philippines and South Korea, plus tennis, golf, darts, UFC and esports. Its rules also cover cricket, snooker and ice hockey.
Bets can be singles, combinations, system bets or Flex Combis. Net winnings are capped at £250,000 per bet and per customer per day.
Football betting
LeoVegas lists football markets on the Premier League, all three EFL divisions, the Champions League, the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bet Builder combines goal, card, corner and match-stat selections from one match, and the sportsbook team adds pre-packs, ready-made combinations based on current trends.
Player markets cover scoring, assisting and being carded, but a pre-match player bet stands only if that player starts. Booking markets count a yellow as one card and a red as two.
Horse racing
Racing covers the UK and Ireland plus the USA, Australia, the UAE, South Africa, Japan and Hong Kong, with ante-post markets and racecards showing form, jockey, trainer, owner and live stats. Win, SP, each-way, forecast and tricast bets are offered, and each-way terms reach four places at a quarter of the odds in handicaps of 16 or more runners.
Best Odds Guaranteed is discretionary: selected UK and Irish races carrying a BOG symbol, race-day bets only, no ante-post or enhanced prices, and selected customers only. In the racing Bet Builder, BOG applies to each winning pick's price, not the combined odds.
Live betting
In-play odds update continuously, and LeoVegas's rules warn that pictures and data feeds can lag the action, a risk the customer accepts when betting live.
Cash Out works before and during play on selected events, and LeoVegas can suspend or withdraw it at its discretion. The group lists partial cash out among the new sportsbook's features, but racing Bet Builders can only be cashed out in full. Race streams are open to logged-in customers with a bet on that race.
Mobile app
The App Store app, LeoVegas UK Online Casino, is subtitled Sports Bet & Real Money Slots, comes from LeoVegas Gaming p.l.c., is rated 18+ and was last updated on 30 September 2026. On Google Play, LeoVegas UK: Online Casino is rated PEGI 18 and was updated on 29 September 2026.
Both lead with casino games, but the Google Play text also describes the sportsbook, and LeoVegas says the apps carry its betting markets on the same account as the website.
Safer gambling
LeoVegas offers deposit, net deposit, loss and stake limits, set daily, weekly or monthly; a cut applies at once, while an increase waits 24 hours and must be reconfirmed. Deposit and net deposit limits count across all LeoVegas Gaming PLC sites.
Session limits log customers out, and Reality Check pop-ups run at intervals such as 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes. A Time-Out of 24 hours to six weeks covers only the site where it is set, whereas self-exclusion (six months up to five years) covers every brand on the licence. Reopening afterwards involves a phone call and a 24-hour cooling-off period, and LeoVegas also points customers to GAMSTOP.
Frequently asked questions
Which company holds the licence for LeoVegas in Great Britain?
LeoVegas Gaming PLC, a Malta-registered company licensed by the Gambling Commission under account 39198. It belongs to MGM Resorts International's group.
Is LeoVegas only a casino, or does it take sports bets?
It takes sports bets as well. Casino games remain prominent, but leovegas.co.uk has a sportsbook, which has run on LeoVegas Group's in-house Tiger platform since August 2026.
How does a Flex Combi work at LeoVegas?
You choose how many legs must win, so a five-leg Flex Combi set to three pays if any three of them win. Void legs reduce the size of the bet.
When does LeoVegas pay Best Odds Guaranteed?
Only where offered: selected UK and Irish races with a BOG symbol, win and each-way bets struck on race day, and customers LeoVegas selects. Ante-post bets and greyhounds are excluded unless stated.
Does a LeoVegas self-exclusion cover other sites?
Yes. It covers every site run by LeoVegas Gaming PLC, including BetMGM, BetUK and Pink Casino. A Time-Out must be set on each site separately.
