About Us
BresBet is the trading name of BresBet Ltd, a company formed in Sheffield in March 2021 with its registered office at Office 624, Block 2 Spaces, Pennine 5, 20-22 Hawley Street, Sheffield, S1 2EU.
Who we are
For five years we ran a sportsbook and casino for customers in Great Britain under a Gambling Commission licence, account number 65252. On 4 September 2026 we surrendered that licence, and we no longer accept bets. This page explains who we were, what we built and where things stand now.
Where we came from
The brand was founded by Nic Brereton, a racing man, and it showed. Our first customers came from the racecourse and the greyhound track, our earliest sponsorships were of race meetings, and our trading desk was built to take a real bet on a Saturday afternoon rather than to close accounts that won.
Remote permissions under our own licence were recorded in February 2025, and by then the sportsbook had been joined by a casino with slots, live dealer tables and bingo, a mobile app and a promotions calendar built around the racing season.
What we set out to do
We wanted to be the bookmaker that answered the phone. Customer service was run from our own office, prices on the big meetings went up early, and we tried to write promotion terms that a punter could read in one sitting.
Whether we always lived up to that is for our former customers to judge. The people who worked here were proud of the racing product in particular, and that pride is the honest part of this page.
The Team
A small company runs on a handful of people, and these were ours.
Nic Brereton
Established the brand in 2021 and returned as a director in 2023 after a period away. Brings an extensive background rooted deeply in racing and traditional UK bookmaking.
David Henderson
Oversaw daily operations, strategic development, and compliance during our core licensed period, ensuring alignment with regulatory frameworks and racing partnerships.
Carl Watson
Specialized in sharp pricing models, early boards for major racing events, and maintaining a risk policy that welcomed genuine punters.
Emma Lawson
Managed in-house support desks, payment processing, and account verification checks with a focus on speed and transparent communication.
Where we are now
BresBet Ltd is not trading and will not reopen under this licence. Our remaining obligation is to our former customers: returning balances, answering account and data queries and cooperating with the Commission’s expectation that nobody is left out of pocket. That work runs through [email protected], and it is the only channel we operate.
What we are not
We do not run any other betting brand. Bet St George Ltd, a separate company that shared our founder and our office, surrendered its licence on the same day and is equally closed. Any website that describes itself as a new BresBet, a BresBet sister site or a relaunch is not connected to us, and we would ask you not to give it your details.
