Novibet Review 2026 🇬🇧 UK Availability, Licence and Sports Betting Explained

Novibet has left the UK market: the UK licence was held by Novigroup Ltd and was surrendered in 2022. The brand is now operated by Logflex MT Limited, a Malta-based, non-UK operator.

That change matters for anyone searching for a Novibet UK login or a Novibet casino account. The operator behind the brand today is not the company that held the UK permission, so a familiar name should not be read as continuity of UK protections. Anyone who wants a Novibet log in route should treat it with caution and check the operator's own current terms for UK residents first.

The brand's founding year is 2010, so the Novibet name is long established. Its UK presence is the part that ended.

Novibet holds Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/CRP/186/2010, but it holds no licence valid for the UK, so it is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. The Malta licence can be checked on the Malta Gaming Authority's official public register.

So is Novibet legit? As a company with a Malta licence, it exists and is supervised in Malta. But "Novibet safe" is a different question for a UK customer: UKGC rules, its complaint routes and its player-protection requirements are not what applies to a Malta licence. We would not describe the brand as regulated for the UK market.

The brand's apps are rated 4.4 on the App Store and 4.3 on Google Play, which speaks to app usability rather than regulatory standing. The site uses SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption. The minimum age is 18+. The practical takeaway: if UKGC oversight is a requirement for you, a UKGC-licensed operator is the better fit, and you should check GamStop coverage before choosing.

For UK players there is no welcome offer available today. Third-party site thepunterspage reports that the intro text still mentions a £10 free bet for the sportsbook and £150 plus 15 free spins for the casino, but these are not live for UK sign-ups.

That is a clear drawback for anyone comparing Novibet reviews against UK-licensed rivals: the headline figures can still appear while the offer cannot be claimed. Details of bonus terms are on the bonus page. The minimum deposit is not published by the brand, and the same goes for deposit routes for UK customers; see payments for what is stated.

Novibet slots, bingo and poker are not detailed in the information available for UK customers, so we make no claims about them.

Novibet sports betting is a sportsbook product with a £10 free bet mentioned in its intro, but that offer is not available to UK players. Novibet betting is therefore a question of access first and odds second.

The brand publishes no UK-specific market list in the details we hold, so we do not name leagues or odds. A Novibet sports review for UK readers comes down to one trade-off: an established brand, founded in 2010, against the absence of a UK licence and UK welcome offer.

The native Novibet app is available on iOS and Android, with a download size of 244.3 MB, and the app page covers it. For help with an account, the contacts page lists the verified channels. Anyone worried about their gambling can contact the GamCare National Gambling Helpline.
