New Membership Reinforces Responsible Gaming Standards and Market Legitimacy
Online betting platform CopyBet has officially joined the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), further embedding itself into the UK’s regulated gambling landscape. The move aligns CopyBet with around 90% of the UK’s licenced betting and gaming industry, positioning the operator among a coalition of companies committed to promoting safer gambling standards, consumer protection, and market integrity.
CopyBet: Innovation Meets Regulation
Founded in 2016, CopyBet distinguishes itself with a social betting model, allowing users to replicate the bets of high-performing tipsters directly through its platform. These tipsters are ranked by profitability and betting accuracy, creating a unique dynamic of strategy-sharing among bettors.
With features including both pre-match and in-play markets, CopyBet has grown in popularity and now holds a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, ensuring its operations meet rigorous regulatory standards.
As Anton Ivanov, Business Development Director at CopyBet UK, stated:
“We look forward to working with other members [of the BGC] to help raise industry standards and create a culture of safer betting.”
Strengthening Industry Ties with IBIA Membership
Alongside its BGC inclusion, CopyBet recently joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), a move aimed at reinforcing its commitment to fair play and sports betting integrity. The IBIA monitors global betting markets and flags suspicious activity, giving operators like CopyBet additional tools to prevent match-fixing, insider betting, and corruption in sport.
This dual membership demonstrates CopyBet’s proactive stance in ensuring a secure, transparent, and accountable betting environment, both for customers and stakeholders.
Endorsement from BGC Leadership
BGC CEO Grainne Hurst welcomed CopyBet’s addition:
“We are thrilled to welcome CopyBet as a member of our expanding and diverse membership at the BGC.”
The BGC represents major operators across retail and online gambling sectors, advocating for effective regulation, customer protections, and responsible innovation.
Official Sports Partnerships and Market Expansion
CopyBet is also the official front-of-shirt sponsor for Queens Park Rangers Football Club, providing a strong branding presence within the UK sports scene. This partnership reflects the operator’s growing ambitions and commercial footprint.
With increasing consumer scrutiny around betting sponsorships and responsible gambling practices, CopyBet’s involvement with the BGC and IBIA reinforces its long-term commitment to ethical engagement and compliance.
Conclusion: Responsible Growth in a Regulated Future
CopyBet’s strategic memberships with both the BGC and IBIA signal more than industry alignment—they reflect a forward-thinking approach to trust-building, compliance, and long-term market sustainability. As the UK gambling sector evolves amid regulatory reforms and technological innovation, operators like CopyBet are poised to shape that future—where innovation is balanced by accountability and player protection.
