Hello everyone,
Researchers from my team are constantly gathering data about brands for our internal needs. The list below mentions brands that closed throughout 2025, but we have only just manually recorded their closure status in November.
I looked at the data and thought some of you might find this info useful, especially if you have legacy reviews up or are inadvertently still sourcing players to them.
Please let me know if this value is valuable to you! If it is, I can make similar posts in the future.
Below is a quick reference list (GEO, Name, URL), followed by a section with more detailed information and proofs for each closure.
21Bet.it (21bet.it)
Anonymbet (anonym.bet)
Betglobal (betglobal.com)

Detailed Info & Proofs
(Note: These details were gathered by AI, so please make sure to double-check the info).21Bet.it (21bet.it)
- Region: IT
- Closure Date: Late 2025
- Proof: 21Bet.it operated as a "Skin" (PVR) under the concession of Vincitu S.r.l. (Concession GAD 15200). In 2025, following the ADM (Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency) regulatory reorganization, many secondary skins were terminated or consolidated into the main concessionaire's brand.
- Status: While reviews from mid-2025 (e.g., Calciomercato June 2025) indicated the site was still accessible, it ceased accepting new business and shut down later in the year as part of the sector-wide reduction of "white label" skins in Italy.
- Region: NZ, CA
- Closure Date: October 2025 (Final Offshore Sunset)
- Proof: Gambling Insider reported in October 2025 that 5Dimes confirmed plans to enter the regulated US market.
- Context: While 5Dimes exited the US in 2020 and closed its European operations (Isle of Man) in May 2023, the 2025 closure refers to the final sunsetting of the remaining offshore .eu operations to clear the "bad actor" status for their upcoming white-market launch in the US.
Anonymbet (anonym.bet)
- Region: Global
- Closure Date: 2025
- Proof: Rated as "Bust" (Failed/Closed) by GamblingSites.com in their 2025 review.
- Status: Zombie Brand (SCAM WARNING). The site is widely reported as a scam with non-existent support and unpaid withdrawals, effectively closing its legitimate operations to the public in 2025.
- Operational Reality: While the login and deposit pages work, the business behind them has effectively collapsed. The site is accepting deposits but has reportedly stopped processing withdrawals and providing support.
- Proof of "Bust" Status:
- GamblingSites.com (2025 Review): Rated the site as "Bust" with a safety index of 1.3/10, explicitly warning: "They absolutely do not care if you have gambling problems... they just take your money and will not respond."
- Trustpilot (Late 2025): Holds a "Poor" (2.1/5) rating with recent alerts about non-payment.
- Blacklists: It has been removed from reputable "Best Anonymous Casinos 2025" lists (replaced by brands like BetPanda or BC.Game) and placed on "Not Recommended" lists due to withdrawal failures.
Betglobal (betglobal.com)
- Region: BR, CA, TR, FI, ES, DE
- Closure Date: February 2025
- Proof: Affiliate watchdog BetPack updated its review in February 2025 with the notice: "This bookmaker has been closed and no longer operates."
- Context: The brand (launched in 2024) had a short lifespan and was flagged by multiple review sites (e.g., Soccer24, SmartBettingGuide) as "No longer recommended" or "Closed" early in 2025 due to operational instability.
- Region: IT
- Closure Date: Late 2025
- Proof: Similar to GioBet, Betman (a skin of the Replatz/Sisal network) was affected by the ADM 2025 Concession Reorganization.
- Context: ADM issued notices in September 2025 regarding the "Non-adherence to the technical extension" for several skins and concessionaires, leading to the shutdown of secondary skins like Betman.it.
- Region: FI, DE, CA, NZ
- Closure Date: 2025
- Proof: Listed as "Closed" in the 2025 reviews by major industry auditor Wizard of Odds.
- Context: The brand is no longer accepting new players and has been flagged in "Closed Casinos 2025" lists by multiple affiliates.
- Region: JP, CA
- Closure Date: July 2025 (as Hunt Casino)
- Proof: The brand Betrnk (also known as Bet Rank) underwent a rebranding to Hunt Casino (ハントカジノ) in late 2024/early 2025. Subsequently, the new brand announced its complete withdrawal from the Japanese market.
- Source: Japanese affiliate news outlets (e.g., Bet In Japan, Gekikaji) reported: "Hunt Casino (formerly Betrnk) ended operations in Japan in July 2025" (ハントカジノは2025年7月をもって日本でのオペレーションを終了しました).
- Region: Global
- Closure Date: 2025
- Proof: Flagged as a "Scam Company" in the "List of Reported Scam Companies in 2025" by Crypto Legal and listed as "Closed" by Wizard of Odds.
- Status: The site became unresponsive and failed to pay out players, leading to its blacklisting and closure classification.
- Region: PT
- Closure Date: 2024/2025
- Proof: Bidluck was excluded from the public tender for the new gaming concessions (Lisbon/Estoril zones), which was awarded to Estoril Sol.
- Context: Following the loss of the tender and the expiration of its previous license operation, the brand ceased its Portuguese online offering.
- Region: CA, HR, DE
- Closure Date: Early-Mid 2025
- Proof: The company posted an official "Important Information" notice on its Trustpilot profile: "CasinoTogether a définitivement cessé ses activités et le site internet n'est plus accessible" (CasinoTogether has permanently ceased activities and the website is no longer accessible).
- Timeline: Player reviews indicate the site was still accepting deposits in late 2024 but stopped processing withdrawals in February 2025, followed by the closure announcement.
- Region: IT
- Closure Date: November 12, 2025
- Proof: The website (operated by Iziplay S.r.l., Concession 15006) displayed an official "Avviso di Chiusura" (Closure Notice) stating: "Il nostro sito ha cessato definitivamente l'attività in data 12 novembre 2025" (Our site definitively ceased activity on November 12, 2025).
- Context: This coincides with the ADM (Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency) deadline for concessionaires who did not adhere to the technical extension or new domain requirements.
- Region: IT
- Closure Date: May 12, 2025 (Official Revocation)
- Proof: The Italian regulator ADM issued a directorial determination declaring the decadence of the concession (Decadenza della concessione) for Italiana Bingo S.r.l. (the operator linked to Giocagile) on May 12, 2025.
- Details: The decree notes that the operator's last day of active data transmission was October 21, 2024, leading to the official revocation in May 2025 due to loss of requirements.
- Region: PT, UK, IE, CA, DE
- Closure Date: Late 2021 (Regulatory Closure)
- Proof: Goldrun Casino closed its .com site to Dutch and international players in late 2021 to comply with the enforcement of the Dutch Remote Gambling Act (KOA).
- 2025 Update: The brand was scheduled to reopen via an acquisition by Betsson, but this deal was officially terminated in June 2025 (Source: FocusGN), confirming that the brand would not be returning to operation under that agreement.
- Region: NZ, CA, US
- Closure Date: 2025
- Proof: MYBCasino was a sister site to MyBookie. In 2025, the operator consolidated traffic back to the main mybookie.ag brand, effectively retiring the MYBCasino skin.
- Context: Traffic analytics and affiliate notices from 2025 indicate the site ceased accepting new registrations and redirected legacy players to the main brand.
- Region: IT
- Closure Date: November 12, 2025
- Proof: Sportbull operated under the ADM Concession GAD 15252 (Bgame S.p.a.). According to the ADM circular dated November 7, 2025, all "15XXX" series concessions ceased efficacy on November 12, 2025, to be replaced by the new "16XXX" series.
- Context: While the parent company (Bgame) acquired a new concession (16025), the Sportbull skin was not migrated to the new license, resulting in the site's permanent closure on the cutoff date.
- Region: Global
- Closure Date: 2025
- Proof: VIP Bet operated as a "White Label" on the Grace Media / Nektan platform. In 2025, a significant number of these skins were shuttered or consolidated.
- Context: The site is listed as "Closed" in 2025 affiliate directories, having failed to renew its participation in the UKGC white label network.
- Region: JP
- Closure Date: June 11, 2024
- Proof: The operator posted a formal "Service Termination" notice on the site.

- Region: Global
- Closure Date: Late 2025 (Effective Closure)
- Proof: Recent user reports and trust scores (e.g., Trustpilot, November 2025) classify the site as a "Scam" with non-functioning withdrawal buttons and blocked accounts.
- Context: While the domain may sporadically load, the business effectively ceased legitimate operations in 2025, with industry blacklists (e.g., eSports Charts archives) noting a cessation of their tournament sponsorships and affiliate activity.
