The register names the licensee as Hillside (Europe) ENC, and lists one trading name: bet365. The brand on the site is a trading name of that licensee.

The group behind the licensee and its country of registration come from the company page. They are not yet sourced, so this page states neither.

The card on the [GRAI licence register](https://www.grai.ie/register/licence-register) is the primary source. Our snapshot is awaiting a recheck against it.

## What does it publish?

The table shows the five groups we record. A group is filled only from bet365's own pages for customers in Ireland, never from reviews.

**bet365: the five criteria groups and their status. Source · Checked: not yet sourced**

| Group | Items we record | Status | Source · Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| L Licence and transparency | Licence number on the site, licensee named in the terms, terms version or date | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced |
| R Safer-gambling controls | Deposit limits, time-out, self-exclusion, reality check, link to Irish help | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced |
| P Payments and withdrawals | Methods from a list of eight, withdrawal limits, processing time, fees | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced |

- [bet365 safer-gambling tools](https://bookieledger.com/operator/bet365/safer-gambling-tools/)
- [bet365 cash out and settlement](https://bookieledger.com/operator/bet365/cash-out-and-settlement/)

Every cell stays at the standard marker until we have read the operator's page and recorded its URL and the date.

## Which claims by others can we not confirm?

AI assistant answers in our research described bet365 as strong on market depth, in-play and live streaming. Those are third-party claims, and we do not repeat them as findings.

Criteria M1 to M3 record only whether bet365's own pages describe its sport categories, in-play and streaming. That lets each claim be tested against a published source, with a date.

## How does it score?

Ledger score not yet calculated · weights v1.0

The score adds points over 19 criteria in five groups: licence and transparency (20), safer-gambling controls (25), payments and withdrawals (20), markets and product (20), and support and complaints (15). The maximum is 100.

A criterion we cannot verify earns zero points, and the text does not call that a fault.

bet365 stays out of the ranking if more than three of the 19 are not verified. The score measures what an operator publishes, not odds or service quality. See [Ledger score criteria](https://bookieledger.com/methodology/scoring-criteria/).

## What did we not check?

We have not yet read bet365's responsible gambling, payment, sport menu or contact pages for Ireland, so none of those criteria carries a value.

Still to do: recheck the register card, source the licensee's group and country, and record the version or date of the terms.

We did not open accounts, place bets or measure payment speed. We publish no odds, no promotions and no app ratings.

## What changed?

No changes recorded between these snapshots.

This is the first snapshot, so there is no earlier version to compare. Changes to the licence, payment or terms pages will appear in the [terms change tracker](https://bookieledger.com/terms-diff-tracker/) and the [data changelog](https://bookieledger.com/data/changelog/).
