How I know they are connected
Reported by gambling trade press. Each point below is backed by a source listed at the end of the page.
- BetOnline acquired SportsBetting.ag in 2012. The two sites share ownership, infrastructure and almost identical software, so their lines and markets are very similar.
- Both sites belong to the Chico Poker Network, a shared player pool that also includes TigerGaming.
- Both say they are licensed in Panama; I could not see the licence number on either site.
Compare the sister sites head to head
Why sister sites matter to you
Sites in the same group usually share a cashier, a support team and a player database. In practice:
- Problems travel. If one site is slow to pay or quick to void bonuses, its sister sites tend to behave the same way. Judge the group, not just the logo.
- One bonus, one person. Group terms often limit welcome bonuses to one account per person, household or IP address across all sister sites.
- Closures and self-exclusion carry over. A ban or self-exclusion at one site can apply across the group.
- Switching rarely solves a dispute. If your withdrawal is stuck, opening an account at a sister site will not speed it up.
