It went live in 2023, holds no Gambling Commission licence, and was not open to UK visitors on 5 October 2026. Its sister sites under the same company are Rolletto, Cosmobet and Zizobet.

Velobet and the UK
Velobet's mirror address, velobet.win, sent UK visitors to a page headed "Access Restricted In Your Region" on 5 October 2026, with the location shown as "United Kingdom" and the status "Restricted". The main velobet.com domain showed a security check page the same day. If you are looking for somewhere similar that is open to you, see our Velobet alternatives guide.
That block is recent. Velobet's terms do not list the United Kingdom as a restricted country, neither in the July 2024 version nor in the current version dated 7 March 2025. Its payment terms still name the United Kingdom among the countries where Mastercard deposits are supported, and it accepts pounds. As archived on 19 March 2026, its promotions page ran a 20% cashback offer on bets on the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two.
The site also keeps a second version of its pages for visitors located in the UK, Ireland and the US. In that version the company page and footer say only "Velobet.com". Santeda's name and licence number are left out.
Who runs Velobet
| Date | What Velobet said about itself |
|---|---|
| April 2022 | velobet.com was a parked domain offered for sale |
| 2023 | Velobet live as a casino and sportsbook. Its welcome offers date from 20 April 2023 |
| January 2024 | "owned and operated by Santeda International B.V." with Santeda International Limited in Cyprus as payment agent, under the Curaçao eGaming licence 1668/JAZ |
| July 2024 | "Santeda International B.V. is pending application by the GCB" |
| 2026 | Operated by Santeda International B.V. under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/1798/1048 |
The licence certificate the Curaçao Gaming Authority issues for velobet.com names Santeda and says Active. The Authority's own register, updated 2 October 2026, lists the same licence as issued 24 June 2025, expiring 24 December 2025, with a status of "Assessment in progress". About 280 licence holders share that status, so it reads as a renewal backlog, but it is not a renewed licence. Santeda is not on the Authority's enforcement register of 14 September 2026.
The Gambling Commission's register has no account, trading name or domain for Velobet or Santeda.
Velobet sister sites
| Casino | Company | Link to Velobet | UK visitors, 5 October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rolletto | Santeda International B.V. | Same company and licence | Access Restricted page |
| Cosmobet | Santeda International B.V. | Same company and licence | Access Restricted page |
| Zizobet | Santeda International B.V. | Same company and licence | Access Restricted page |
| Goldenbet | Reported as Santeda | Named with Velobet in the April 2026 investigation | Not available in your country page |
| MyStake | GTW B.V. since 2026 | Former stablemate, same terms template | 404 page |
| Donbet | GTW B.V. since 2026 | Former stablemate | Security check page |
| Freshbet, Jack.com | Ryker B.V. | Related company | Freshbet: Access Restricted page |
Rolletto, Cosmobet and Zizobet are the sites where your money would sit with the same company as at Velobet. Each has its own page: Rolletto sister sites, Cosmobet sister sites and Zizobet sister sites. MyStake and Donbet still look and work like Velobet, and their terms share whole paragraphs with its terms, but they are now held by GTW B.V. Our MyStake and Donbet pages cover that side.
The 330% welcome package
| Deposit | Bonus | Free spins |
|---|---|---|
| 1st, €10 to €500 | 150% | 300 |
| 1st, €500 to €1,000 | 100% | 300 |
| 2nd, minimum €20 | 100% up to €500 | None |
| 3rd, minimum €20 | 80% up to €500 | None |
The 330% is the three percentages added together. Nobody receives 330% on a single deposit. The largest first-deposit bonus is €1,000, on a €1,000 deposit, so the most the package can pay in bonus money is €2,000.
The conditions:
- Wagering: 30 times the bonus plus the deposit, within 30 days.
- Maximum bet: €5 while a bonus is active.
- Free spins: 30 straight away, then 30 a day for 9 days, and only if you log in. Miss a day and the rest are lost.
- Games: casino only, one bonus at a time.
- Cancelling: the bonus, its winnings and every bet placed since activation are taken off your balance.
A €500 first deposit brings €750 of bonus. Thirty times €1,250 is €37,500 of bets in 30 days. A casino licensed in Great Britain could ask for no more than 10 times the £750 bonus.
Velobet's crypto alternative pays 160% on a first crypto deposit, up to €1,000, but raises the wagering to 35 times deposit plus bonus and excludes ten named slots. Our wagering requirements guide shows why rules that include your deposit cost about twice what the multiple suggests.
18+. These offers are not available from any casino licensed in Great Britain. If gambling stops being fun, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133.
A cap that was added, and a fee that was not there before
Velobet's terms have tightened since 2024.
In July 2024 the terms said a deposit or welcome bonus "is free from maximum withdrawal limitation". The version dated 7 March 2025 says winnings from a deposit bonus are "limited to ten (10) times the deposit that activated the bonus", with anything above that forfeited. Deposit €100, take the bonus, and the most you can withdraw from that play is €1,000.
The inactive account rule changed too. In 2024 it charged €10 a month after 12 months without logging in. The 2025 version shown outside the UK calls an account dormant after 60 days and charges 20% of the balance every month, then takes the lot once less than 10 is left. The version served to UK visitors leaves that clause out.
Other terms in the current version:
| Term | What it says |
|---|---|
| Minimum deposit and withdrawal | €10 each |
| Weekly and monthly withdrawal limits | €7,500 and €15,000 |
| Largest single win | Crypto equivalent of €100,000 per bet or spin |
| Deposits | Must be bet once at odds of 1.3 or more before withdrawal |
| Free spins and no deposit winnings | €100 maximum |
| Cashback and free money | Withdrawals capped at 5 times the amount |
| Account termination | 20% fee on deposits returned |
| Accounts | One per person, household or IP address |
Complaints go to Velobet's compliance team. After that the terms point only to "any independent body, gaming authority or the licensing regulator listed on the Website", and any court case must be brought in Curaçao.
Promotions after sign-up
Velobet listed 14 promotions on 5 October 2026. Two show how the site keeps people depositing:
- Daily free spins: between 5 and 100 spins on login, but only for verified accounts that deposited at least £20 in the last 7 days and opened at least one Velobet email.
- Loyalty bonus: a monthly reward for keeping deposits at the same level for three months running, from 50 free spins at $50 a month to $1,000 for $25,000 a month.
As archived on 13 August 2026, Velobet also ran a 50% cashback aimed at lapsed players: anyone who had registered before 1 August 2026 and not deposited for 30 days got half their next day's losses back as a bonus, up to £100 a day at 5x wagering.
What has been reported about Santeda
In April 2026 Investigate Europe and the Guardian reported that Velobet, MyStake, Goldenbet and connected sites averaged 2.3 million unique monthly UK visitors between November 2025 and January 2026, citing Similarweb. The investigation said Velobet was on regulators' blacklists in France, Italy and Poland, that Santeda had been blacklisted in Greece and Sweden, and that domain records tied web addresses for several of the casinos, Velobet among them, to the software firm Upgaming or its chief executive. Upgaming denied owning the domains or the casinos, and said it had ended its partnership with Santeda in March 2026.
In September 2026 the Guardian reported that leaked Curaçao regulator files name a Georgian, Onise Chimakhidze, as Santeda's owner, list Upgaming email addresses as its contact details, and record €15.59 million in loans from Santeda to a Luxembourg company owned by Georgians linked to Upgaming. Upgaming's lawyers said its business relationship with Santeda had ceased.
What a UK player gives up
| Licensed in Great Britain | Velobet | |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus wagering | Up to 10x the bonus | 30x or 35x deposit plus bonus |
| Slot stake limit | £5 a spin, £2 if you are 18 to 24 | €5, and only while a bonus is active |
| Disputes | Free independent adjudicator | None named. Curaçao courts |
| Self-exclusion | GAMSTOP across every licensed site | By email, 6 months to 5 years, Velobet only |
| Company on the site | Named with its licence number | Left out of the version shown to UK visitors |
Excluding yourself at Velobet does not exclude you at Rolletto, Cosmobet or Zizobet, even though the same company runs all four. GAMSTOP does not reach any of them. If that gap matters to you, blocking software and a gambling block on your bank card work wherever a site is licensed, and GamCare can help on 0808 8020 133.

Velobet alternatives that take UK sign-ups
Santeda's casinos showed UK visitors an access page on 5 October 2026. Two sites with the same mix of casino, sportsbook and big percentage bonus do take UK sign-ups, with a lighter rollover than Velobet's 30 times deposit plus bonus.
JetSetSpins gives a choice on the first deposit: 200% up to £10,000 plus 100 free spins from £30, with 20x wagering on the bonus only and seven days to clear it, or 250 free spins with no wagering at all. Either way the deposit also unlocks the Royal Wheel, one free spin a day for seven days.
NeonStake matches the 200% up to £10,000 plus 100 free spins from a lower £20 deposit, at the same 20x on the bonus, or 200 wager-free spins from £50. It also pays 10% of the previous day's slot losses back every day as cash, with no wagering.
Both are sister sites on one platform, with casino, live casino and sportsbook on a single account. They pay out in crypto only, £100 to £500 per request. Neither names the company behind it, and neither holds a licence we could verify on any regulator's register, so GAMSTOP and the UK complaints route do not cover them. If you have self-excluded, they are not for you. Both offers and their full terms are side by side on our casino offers page.
