Betfair Sister Sites: Only 1 Real, 7 Cousins (2026)

Betfair has exactly one sister site: Paddy Power. They are the only two brands on Betfair’s own account. Seven more brands, Sky Vegas, Sky Bingo, Sky Casino, Sky Poker, Sky Bet, tombola and tombola arcade, share Betfair’s parent company but sit on different accounts, which is why every other list you will read disagrees with itself.

Every brand in the Betfair family

Betfair’s own offer sits outside that table because it is the reason to read this page, and it is covered next.

Paddy Power Games is the only brand of the group that publishes a game count, and it publishes two: 1,200+ on desktop against around 150 in the app.†

Betfair sister sites no deposit bonus

Betfair itself has the strongest offer in the family, and it is unusual on two counts at once: 50 free spins with no deposit and no wagering requirement, credited on joining with the promo code CASF51. The spins are valued at 10p each. A further 50 spins follow if you deposit and spend £10 on eligible games.

18+. New customers only. Opt in and promo code required. Free spins valued at 10p. Further T&Cs apply.

Paddy Power Games runs the other genuine no-deposit offer in the family, at 60 spins on registration, with 100 more for a £10 deposit. Its spins must be claimed and used within seven days.

Those two are the family’s real draw. No-deposit and no-wagering together is rare at this size of operator, because it is the version that can actually pay a new player cash.

What “sister site” means here, and why lists disagree

This is the part that trips up every competing page.

Betfair and Paddy Power share one account, held by PPB Games Limited. On the register that account carries two web addresses and two trading names. Nothing else.

Betfair also appears on a second account of its own, held by Betfair Casino Limited, carrying the same brand again. A single brand on two accounts is normal for a large operator and does not add a sister.

The Sky brands and tombola are owned by the same parent as Betfair, but each sits on a separate account under a separate company: Sky Vegas, Sky Bingo, Sky Casino and Sky Poker under one, Sky Bet under another, tombola and tombola arcade under a third.

So both answers you will see are half right. One brand shares Betfair’s account. Seven more share its owner. Lists that give you a single flat number are collapsing two different questions.

Why the difference matters to you

It is not a technicality. Three things follow from which account a brand sits on.

Your money is held by the company on the account, not by the brand on the door. At Betfair and Paddy Power that is the same company. At Sky Vegas or tombola it is a different one.

A restriction or a closure applied by one of those companies does not automatically follow you to a brand on another account, even under the same owner. Treat Paddy Power as the same operator as Betfair. Treat the Sky brands and tombola as related but separate.

Welcome offers are one per account in practice, so Betfair and Paddy Power will not both pay out as new-customer offers for the same person.

What carries over, and what doesn’t

Bonuses and wagering across the family

The family splits cleanly into offers that pay cash and offers that do not.

Betfair’s 50 spins carry no wagering, so whatever they win is withdrawable. That is the best structure available in this group.

Paddy Power’s spins are the largest count without a deposit at 60, and its follow-up of 100 spins for £10 is the biggest second tranche in the family.

Sky Vegas’s 50 spins come with a £10 stake and deposit requirement to be met within 30 days of opting in, and its separate £10 live-casino bonus is non-withdrawable with winnings paid as cash. How wagering requirements work covers why “winnings paid as cash” and “no wagering” are not the same promise.

tombola takes a different approach again, capping bingo tickets at £2 a game and stating that its bonuses carry no wagering requirements. For a bingo-led group built the opposite way, on one shared platform, Fabulous Bingo’s family is the comparison.

The names on the register that no longer trade

A fourth company in this family is still listed and worth a moment, because it shows how long paperwork outlives a product.

Paddy Power Holdings Limited holds an account carrying three names, Paddy Power, Deal or No Deal and Dial-a-Bet, and all three are marked inactive. Dial-a-Bet was a telephone betting service. Deal or No Deal was a television tie-in.

Neither takes bets today, and neither belongs on a list of Betfair sister sites, but both turn up on pages that scrape the register without reading the status column. If a list offers you a brand you cannot find a working site for, that is usually why.

Are they actually different?

More than most groups on this site, and the reason is that they were built as separate businesses and bought later rather than spun up from one platform.

Betfair began as a betting exchange, and the exchange is still the thing it does that no other brand here does. It is the clearest single reason to prefer it rather than treating the group as interchangeable.

Paddy Power is a bookmaker with a casino attached. tombola is a bingo operator that builds its own games rather than renting a lobby from a supplier. The Sky brands run on their own platform under the broadcaster’s name.

That is unusual. Most sister-site groups covered on this site are one platform in several skins, where the honest finding is that the brands are near-identical. Here they are not, and the choice between them is a real choice about product rather than about artwork.

If you self-excluded on one, are you blocked on the rest?

Yes, on all of them, and this is the one area where the account boundaries stop mattering.

Every brand named on this page is licensed in Great Britain, so all of them take part in GAMSTOP. One registration at GAMSTOP blocks Betfair, Paddy Power, all four Sky casino brands, Sky Bet, tombola and tombola arcade together, along with every other operator licensed to serve Great Britain.

A direct self-exclusion taken with Betfair covers Paddy Power too, because one company holds both. It does not automatically reach the Sky brands or tombola, which sit with different companies, for those, use GAMSTOP rather than relying on the operator-level block.

If a bet is settled wrongly

Complaints go to the brand first. Because Betfair and Paddy Power share one company, escalating from one to the other gets you the same complaints team.

If that does not resolve it, the dispute goes to an independent adjudicator rather than to the regulator, which does not rule on individual bets. IBAS handles gambling disputes for operators inside the British system and publishes its decisions, and every brand on this page falls inside that system.

How to check which account a brand is on

The register makes this checkable in about a minute, and it settles arguments that affiliate pages get wrong.

Search Britain’s public register for the brand name. The result gives you the operating company and an account number. Two brands with the same account number are the same operator; two brands with different numbers are not, however similar the branding.

Run that on any of the Betfair sister sites and the pattern falls out immediately: Betfair and Paddy Power return one number, the Sky brands return two others, and tombola returns a fourth. See 888’s account, where four live brands sit beside 74 retired addresses.

It is also the fastest way to spot a brand that has stopped trading, because the register marks each name active or inactive and most affiliate lists do not.

Drawbacks and gaps

Only Paddy Power publishes a game count, and it publishes two that do not agree with each other. The rest give a reader no way to compare libraries before signing up.

Betfair’s headline offer needs a promo code, which is easy to miss and cannot usually be applied afterwards.

The Sky brands publish their welcome terms unevenly: Sky Vegas states its requirement plainly, while Sky Bingo, Sky Casino, Sky Poker and Sky Bet published no new-customer figure on the pages read on 15 August 2026.

Sky Vegas’s own help pages say it “may” run offers with no qualifying deposit or no wagering, which is not the same as having one live today.

Which Betfair sister site should you pick?

Betfair, on its own offer. 50 spins with no deposit and no wagering is the only combination in this family that can turn into withdrawable cash without you funding an account first.

Take Paddy Power Games if you want the largest no-deposit spin count rather than the cleanest terms, at 60 spins with a further 100 for £10. Take tombola if you came for bingo, because it is the only brand here that builds its own games and caps what a ticket can cost you.

Those three cover the three different products in the family. For a group where the shared platform makes the brands genuinely interchangeable, Betfred’s network is the contrast, and what sister sites actually means explains why an owner and an operator are not the same thing.

Who runs these sites

Betfair and Paddy Power trade on Gambling Commission account 39411, held by PPB Games Limited, which carries those two web addresses and those two trading names and nothing else. Betfair also holds a second account of its own under Betfair Casino Limited.

The Sky brands and tombola belong to the same parent but sit on separate accounts.

Sky Vegas, Sky Bingo, Sky Casino and Sky Poker are held by Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, Sky Bet by SBG Sports Limited, and tombola and tombola arcade by Tombola (International) Plc. A fourth company, Paddy Power Holdings Limited, still exists on the register with three names against it, Paddy Power, Deal or No Deal and Dial-a-Bet, all marked inactive.

All of it is checkable on the public register, read on 15 August 2026.

† The desktop and app counts come from Paddy Power’s own pages, which publish two different totals. Where this site marks a count with a dagger it means the figure is quoted as published rather than treated as settled.
