Betzone shuts down UK

Betzone has announced its decision to cease operations in the UK, four years after launching the brand, amid an increasingly competitive market.

After pausing most of its marketing back in October, Betzone announced on December 7 (2025) that the decision to shut down the site had been made. While it seemed to be heading in that direction before, it's possible that the new tax regulations for gambling operators played a part.

In any case, it's a bit of a shame as Betzone partnered up with Metric Gaming at the start of the year to get its own platform, having previously worked with Playbook Gaming. An exclusive licence was also secured at the time.

Betzone before closing down

It goes to show how quickly things can change for a bookie, from being up-and-coming to having to close down the site. For existing customers, there is an FAQ page on Betzone's website that gives instructions for withdrawing any remaining funds and more.

If you are looking for an alternative now that Betzone has closed down, we have picked out some of them below. As alluded to before, there were no sister sites prior to the closure, so that's why similar alternatives are the way to go.

I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of FindSisterSites. After exploring how betting and casino sites are structured for another project, I felt that there was a gap in the market, more specifically for correct, reliable and up-to-date information on the companies behind each site.

As such, I'm responsible for identifying the 'hidden' sister sites and debunking a lot of the incorrect information that spreads around the web. My background in journalism certainly means that I have the perseverance to find the right answers, which helps in this case.
