What this means for players
Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites. Check each brand’s terms before you rely on a self-exclusion; a national scheme (such as GamStop in the UK or Spelpaus in Sweden) covers every licensed site in that country.
Does a self-exclusion at bwin cover Optibet?
Not through one national scheme. bwin is covered by GamStop, as it is licensed in Great Britain (UKGC licence). Optibet holds no licence with a national self-exclusion scheme in our data. An exclusion set only in your bwin account may not cover Optibet.
