If you feel that gambling is causing you problems, or you're spending more than you can afford, please reach out for help. You are not alone.
IsBetDown is purpose-built for punters who need to know if their bookmaker is down — right now. Unlike general-purpose tools such as Downdetector that monitor thousands of websites, we focus exclusively on UKGC-licensed betting sites. We check not just primary domains but the infrastructure providers behind them (Cloudflare, AWS, Akamai, Fastly, Google Cloud), and show you UKGC-licensed alternatives that are currently online.
Online betting platforms can experience downtime for several reasons. High traffic during major sporting events like the Premier League, Grand National, or Cheltenham Festival often overloads servers, causing temporary outages or slow response times. Server maintenance is another frequent cause — bookmakers regularly update their platforms, usually during off-peak hours. DDoS attacks, payment processing issues, CDN outages, and regional ISP problems can also make a betting site appear down even when it's operational in other regions.
If your bet was confirmed before the outage, there is no need to worry. Under UKGC regulations, licensed operators must honour all confirmed bets regardless of technical issues. Your bet is recorded on the bookmaker's servers and will be settled normally once the service is restored. If you were in the middle of placing a bet when the site went down, check your bet history once it's back online.
If your preferred betting site is experiencing issues, you have a few options: wait for it to come back (most outages resolve within 15 to 30 minutes), try accessing via a different device or network, clear your browser cache, disable your VPN (some bookmakers block VPN traffic), or use an alternative UKGC-licensed bookmaker that's currently operational. We monitor all major UK-licensed platforms so you can quickly find a working alternative.
We only list betting sites that hold an active licence from the UK Gambling Commission. This ensures all operators on our platform meet strict regulatory standards for player protection, fair gaming, and responsible gambling. Each bookmaker shown on IsBetDown displays its UKGC licence number, which you can verify directly on the Gambling Commission's public register.
