bet365 or Ladbrokes: a side-by-side of the published details

bet365 and Ladbrokes both appear on the GRAI register as remote betting (RB) licensees: bet365 under Hillside (Europe) ENC, Ladbrokes under LC International Limited. Both licences were issued on 1 July 2026. We have not yet checked tools, payments or sport menus for either brand, so those rows carry the standard marker.

Which licences do they hold?

Both brands sit in the same register cohort. The register lists each under a different licensee, with its own licence number.

  • bet365: Hillside (Europe) ENC, GRAI-0539-RB-26-0001.
  • Ladbrokes: LC International Limited, GRAI-0622-RB-26-0001.

The brand name on a site is a trading name of its licensee. Confirm each pairing on the GRAI licence register before you rely on it.

What does the criteria table show?

Each row uses one criterion from the matrix. Rows with a register entry are filled; the others carry the standard marker until a public page is sourced.

Where do they differ?

On the register, the two entries differ in licensee and number, not in type or issue date. Each is a remote betting licence issued on 1 July 2026.

The criteria that could separate them sit in the rows marked above: deposit limits, withdrawal terms and the sport menu. Until those are sourced, this page does not rank either brand.

Assistant answers gathered in our research made claims on live streaming and on GAA value. We treat both as unverified; the matrix only records whether each menu and streaming description is published.

Who does each one suit?

If you want one brand that is easy to place on the register, compare the licence rows first: both are listed. The remaining rows will decide the rest.

If safer-gambling controls matter to you, wait for the controls rows or open the safer-gambling controls data. If menus matter, see market coverage.

This page makes no pick between the two.

Where are they the same?

Both hold a remote betting licence on the register, both with an issue date of 1 July 2026. Both are scored on the same 19 criteria with the same weights, and neither score is calculated yet.

No cell in the table is a judgement of service quality. The comparison covers published information only.

In short

Bottom line: bet365 and Ladbrokes share the licence type and the issue date; they differ in licensee and number, and every other criterion awaits a source.
