The United Kingdom’s Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has officially welcomed CopyBet as its newest member, reinforcing efforts to raise industry standards and promote safer gambling.
CopyBet Joins the BGC to Strengthen Responsible Gaming Initiatives
CopyBet, an innovative betting platform, has become a member of the BGC, demonstrating its commitment to responsible gaming and fair regulation in the UK. The move follows its recent membership with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), underscoring its dedication to maintaining high industry standards.
Launched in 2016, CopyBet offers a unique betting experience, allowing users to copy wagers from other players, fostering community engagement within its platform. The company provides both pre-match and in-play betting and holds a full UK license, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
By joining the BGC, CopyBet now stands alongside leading regulated gaming operators, reinforcing its commitment to consumer protection and ethical gaming practices.
Industry Leaders Welcome CopyBet’s Inclusion
Grainne Hurst, CEO of the BGC, praised CopyBet for its commitment to high standards and welcomed its addition to the council’s diverse lineup of members.
“We look forward to collaborating with CopyBet, and all our members, as we work together to raise industry standards and advance responsible gaming.”

Anton Ivanov, CopyBet UK’s business development director, also expressed enthusiasm about the membership, emphasizing the company’s eagerness to partner with fellow BGC members to promote a culture of safer betting.
BGC’s Continued Efforts to Combat Illegal Gambling
The BGC has long advocated for collaboration between operators and regulators, stressing that coordinated efforts are essential to curbing illegal gambling practices. Earlier this year, CEO Hurst highlighted the dangers of the growing black market, calling it a shared challenge that demands action from both operators and authorities.
She warned that unchecked black-market gambling endangers consumers, undermines legitimate gaming operators, and can even facilitate criminal activity.
By welcoming CopyBet, the BGC continues to expand its coalition of responsible gaming stakeholders, aiming to strengthen industry oversight and promote sustainable betting practices.
