Highbet is a casino and sportsbook which has moved to a new platform and licence for 2025.
Highbet is owned by Time Solutions Ltd, a small company based in Malta and so far it’s their only casino brand. Did I say casino brand? I meant casino and sportsbook brand, because it’s one of those sites where casino and sportsbook are of equal importance. Indeed, they have signed former World Heavyweight Champion David Haye as their brand ambassadors.
When Highbet first launched back in 2021 it was on the Aspire Global platform; at that time it was unusual for Aspire Global casinos to have sportsbooks and the presence of a sportsbook was thus an important selling point.
In early 2025, Highbet moved to a different platform, with the licence held by SCGO Limited who were previously known as Vivaro and currently operate just one other UK facing site, vbet.
Registration at Highbet is a three step process.
Many online casinos prompt new players to make a deposit right away but there’s no such pressure at Highbet – you can take a leisurely look around before heading to the cashier screen but do be aware that to claim the welcome bonus, you’ll need to deposit within 14 days of registration.
As well as a huge range of bets on national and international football, Highbet covers plenty of other sports.
For example if (like me) you are interested in motorsport you’ll be pleased to find there are a range of markets going beyond the usual Formula 1. Formula E, Indycar and NASCAR are all available and motorbikes and speedway have their own sections.
Esports also have excellent representation and can be accessed directly from the main sports betting page as well as from a dedicated esports page.
On the other hand there are some glaring omissions – no horse racing, for instance. And the sportsbook has some quirks – it can take a while to work out how to change the odds format (which defaults to decimal) or even find the selection you want.
There’s also Quickbet, which lets you place a bet with a single click on the odds but for obvious reasons should be treated with care.
Highbet has a prominent lobby area for bingo but alas, all that’s in there is a few video bingo games from G Games and Play’nGo, and Eyecon’s slot game My Bingo Hall. It seems a bit odd to give it so much space without any actual multiplayer bingo, especially as there’s a FAQ on the page that is very definitely about multiplayer bingo, so perhaps they intend to add it at a later date.
Despite moving platform so recently Highbet still works with more than 20 different games providers including less well known studios like Thunderkick and Realistic. However, some of the big names they sported while on Aspire are gone – Netent, Games Global, Blueprint – and in the case of some of the providers they do have – Red Tiger for example – the number of games is quite limited. A glance at the New Games area in the lobby shows that they are in the process of adding lots more back catalogue games as well as new releases.
There’s now a lobby area for progressive jackpots (there wasn’t on the old Highbet site) and the best known progressives in there are Dream Drop games by Relax Gaming.
Other lobby areas such as Crash and Scratch Games are fairly sparsely populated at the time of writing (just 4 games in Crash, for example, and none of them are Aviator) but we would expect them to fill up a bit more as they add more back catalogue games in the few months following the platform move.
Over in the Live Casino, there’s no game categorisation at all; blackjack rooms, roulette, table games and game shows by Evolution, Creedroomz and Pragmatic Play are all jumbled up together. It’s just about possible to pick out what you want on a big screen, but on a phone where the game tiles load two at a time it could be extremely annoying if you are only interested in one type of live dealer game.
Unlike at some other sites, the search facility lets you find any game you know the name of, anywhere on the Highbet site – you don’t have to be in the right section first.
Highbet has a page called “RTP Lists” which is linked from the site footer giving the Return To Player of lots of slot games, grouped by the provider (and including many providers that they don’t currently work with). You might expect this to tell you what the Return To Player is on the games in the Highbet casino, but it doesn’t; in the case of slot games with variable RTP (and there are a LOT of them) it gives all the possible values.
To find out what the RTP of a game at Highbet actually is, you’ll need to check the in-game help files. Do that, and you’ll discover an unexpected and most welcome side effect of the platform move; the Return To Player of the version of Book of Dead they now have is 96.21%, whereas the version at Aspire Global (the platform they moved off) has RTP of just 87.25%. Quite an improvement!
Highbet has a promotions page with both casino and sports offers but when we visited the only casino offer was the welcome offer and there wasn’t much else there – you can instead expect to be sent offers via whatever channels of communication you decide to opt into.
The range of deposit methods at Highbet is not great, especially compared to what it was before. If you don’t want to use a debit card your only options are Skrill and Neteller.
No longer just a skin site, Highbet is looking like a great destination for anyone who wants to combine casino and slots with sports betting.
45 x bonus on slots, some games excluded from bonus play (list on site)
Highbet’s Safer Gambling page focuses on security, prevention and external links. Only after that does it come on to the safer gambling tools they offer which are the standard deposit limits, reality checks, time out and self exclusion. Note that a deposit limit will be set for you when you sign up.
