Overview
LiveScore Bet launched in the UK in December 2020 as the betting brand of LiveScore Group, whose LiveScore results service dates from 1998. The group, with LiveScore Group Limited as its parent company, was demerged from Gamesys in 2019. Virgin Bet is its other sportsbook and is licensed separately.
In Great Britain the website and apps are run by LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, which has held Gambling Commission remote betting and casino licences, under account 56859, since June 2020. It is also licensed in Gibraltar.

Sportsbook and casino in one app
Listed on Apple's App Store, for iPhone only, and on Google Play.
Sports & betting markets
LiveScore Bet's UK site lists sports from football, tennis, horse racing and basketball to ice hockey, golf, cricket, both rugby codes, darts, snooker and Formula 1, plus Gaelic games, sumo, chess and politics. Markets open before events and, on many of them, in-play. Virtual racing, tennis and basketball are also offered, and the casino uses the same account.
Football betting
According to its app listings, LiveScore Bet takes pre-match and in-play bets on the Premier League, the Champions League and other UK and international football. Match pages add team stats, line-ups and a live pitch tracker.
Bet Builder, offered on selected matches, includes player markets. If it is placed before kick-off, player selections other than First Goalscorer need the player to start, and one void selection voids the whole Bet Builder. Bet Builder payouts are capped at £10,000 a day, against £1 million on upper-tier football such as the Premier League.
Horse racing
The app listings cover UK and Irish racing from the Cheltenham Festival to Royal Ascot, and greyhounds have their own section. Bets can be struck at a fixed price or at starting price, and the rules provide for forecasts, tricasts, ante-post bets and Each Way Your Way, an each-way market limited to singles.
According to the site's racing information, Best Odds Guaranteed covers the main win and each-way market on eligible UK and Irish races from 10am on race day, with extra winnings capped at £50,000 a day. Ante-post and international racing, free bet tokens, derived markets and cashed-out or void bets are excluded.
If stewards revise the placings before confirming the result, Double Result settles most UK, Irish and South African race bets on both orders.
Live betting
In-play markets cover football, cricket, golf, basketball, tennis and more, with scoreboards beside open bets.
Cash Out settles an unsettled single or multiple early on selected events, pre-match or in-play. Free bets and each-way greyhound bets are excluded, and a request fails if the offer is removed or the price moves during the acceptance delay.
Logged-in customers can watch some events from the in-play Streaming view, and certain streams need a funded account or a bet of at least £1.
Mobile app
LiveScore Bet: Sports & Casino is on the UK App Store for iPhone only, listed under LiveScore Ltd., rated 18+ and requiring iOS 15 or later. On Google Play it appears under the LiveScore Betting & Gaming name, with LiveScore Group Limited given as developer and a PEGI 18 rating.
Both listings pair the sportsbook with slots and live dealer tables, and the brand's download page highlights real-time notifications, live scores and statistics.
Safer gambling
Deposit limits are set per day, week or month, on either gross deposits or deposits net of withdrawals. Reductions apply at once, while increases take at least 24 hours and must then be confirmed.
A cool-off lasts 24 hours or one, two, three, four or six weeks. The self-exclusion periods are six months and one, two or five years, effective within 24 hours. When the period ends, reopening can only be completed by phone with the Player Protection Team.
A casino block on request, reality checks for casino sessions and account closure are also available. GAMSTOP covers every participating online operator licensed in Great Britain.
Frequently asked questions
Is LiveScore Bet part of the same business as the LiveScore app?
Yes. Both are brands of LiveScore Group, whose parent is LiveScore Group Limited. Virgin Bet is the group's other sportsbook and is licensed separately.
Which company holds LiveScore Bet's Gambling Commission licence?
LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, account 56859. Its remote licences for betting on real and virtual events and for casino have been active since 19 June 2020.
What happens to a LiveScore Bet Bet Builder if one selection is void?
The whole Bet Builder is void and the stake is returned. In a slip of several Bet Builders, each counts as one leg, so the others still stand.
Does LiveScore Bet have betting shops?
No. Its operator holds remote licences only, and the Gambling Commission register lists no premises for it.
Does a LiveScore Bet self-exclusion cover other LiveScore Group sites?
Its terms say the operator takes reasonable steps to stop self-excluded customers using accounts on other LiveScore Group websites in Great Britain. GAMSTOP extends a block to other operators.
