Dabble

Dabble started out in Australia, and its big idea is a betting app that works like a social network. It came to the UK in spring 2025, when Dabble Sports UK Ltd got its Gambling Commission licence in April and the app went live on the App Store the following month. Its pitch is simple. Instead of betting on your own, you follow other punters, scroll through their bets in a feed, copy the ones you like with one tap and argue about the results in its Banter chat rooms. Dabble says it has more than four million users around the world, and the UK app is rated 4.7 on the App Store and 4.4 on Google Play. The reviews on Trustpilot are a lot less kind, though, so we’ve taken a closer look.

Dabble Welcome Offer

New customers get “Bet £10, Get £10 in Free Bets”, using the code B10G10. Place a single real-money bet of £10 or more at odds of 1/2 (1.5) or bigger within seven days of signing up, and you’ll get £10 in free bets within 24 hours of it settling. It’s not a big offer, but it’s a fair one. You can use the free bets on any market at odds of 1/2 or bigger, rather than being forced into accas, and you’ve got seven days to use them. As usual, the free bet stake isn’t returned with your winnings, and cashed-out or void bets don’t count towards the offer. There’s no casino welcome offer.

Ongoing Promotions

This is where Dabble earns its keep. Every day, you get a Rocket Boost, which is a little game where you stop a rocket before it crashes to boost the odds on a bet, and you can save up to five of them. Dabble also hands out Rebound tokens to active customers. Put one on an acca that loses by one leg, or on a horse that finishes second or third in a big enough field, and you can flip tiles to win back up to 150% of your stake in free bets. Hit the bomb, though, and you’re left with a free bet worth 40% of your stake. Fresh Legs keeps a Bet Builder going if your player gets substituted, and Money Back Specials refund losing bets as free bets on selected events.

The social features come with rewards, too. Copy Cash pays you 10p every time someone copies one of your bets, up to £1,000 a week, although Dabble decides who’s eligible. Refer a friend, and you’ll get £10 in free bets once they’ve placed a £10 real-money bet. New customers may also be offered Missions, which pay free bets for trying features like bet copying, Pick’Em and Rebound.

What are the Pros and Cons of Dabble?

Bet Copying, Pick’Em and the Dabble Casino

Dabble covers football, horse racing, greyhounds, the NFL, the NBA, cricket, golf, darts, F1 and esports, with Bet Builders, a Racing Bet Builder for runners in the same race and cash out. What makes it different is how you find your bets. The For You feed shows trending bets from other punters, you can follow the ones you rate, and one tap on the copy button adds someone else’s whole acca to your betslip in a few seconds. You can also set up group chats with your mates and share bets there.

Pick’Em is Dabble’s own bet type, and you won’t find it at most UK bookies. You choose whether a player will get more or less than a set figure for a stat, such as a basketball player’s points, and then combine between two and 16 players for a payout multiplier. All-In bets on up to 12 players can pay up to 1,500 times your stake, and Hedge bets on up to 16 players can pay up to 10,000 times.

The casino can be found on a separate tab in the app, with more than 200 games. There are slots such as Big Bass Bonanza and Sweet Bonanza, live tables including Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette, and arcade games like Plinko. There’s also Rocket Riders, Dabble’s own crash game. Be aware that the help centre still describes the casino as an invite-only beta, while the app listing says it’s open to everyone. That’s a sloppy bit of housekeeping, and the help centre needs updating.

Deposits and Withdrawals

You can deposit with a Visa or Mastercard debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the minimum is £5. Withdrawals go back to your debit card where your bank allows it, or by bank transfer, also with a £5 minimum. The fastest option is Fast Bank Transfer, which links your bank account through TrueLayer. Once it passes Dabble’s checks, money usually arrives within a few hours, and some customers qualify for withdrawals paid within minutes. Otherwise, Dabble says most withdrawals are processed within one to three working days. It pays out twice a day, so anything requested after 3pm may wait until the next working day. If you type your bank details in by hand, you’ll need to send a bank statement, and checking it can take another one or two working days. Your first withdrawal is likely to be the slowest because of the identity checks.

Customer Support and Licensing

Live chat is in the app’s Settings menu, and it’s open from 9am to 8pm every day. You can also email support@dabble.co.uk, but there’s no phone line. Dabble promises to reply to complaints within 48 hours, and if you’re not happy with its final answer, you can refer it free of charge to the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS). Customer funds are held in a separate bank account at the Gambling Commission’s medium level of protection, which is meant to cover your balance if the company goes bust. Several recent reviewers say Dabble closed or restricted their accounts after a win, or after asking for documents, and those complaints are worth reading before you deposit.

Dabble is run by Dabble Sports UK Ltd, Gambling Commission account 65677, with its head office in Leeds and its registered office in London. It’s been licensed for betting since 3 April 2025 and for casino games since 22 January 2026, with no regulatory actions against it. Its Australian parent, Dabble Sports Pty Ltd, holds a separate UK licence for the betting platform, casino games, and software, and it’s listed as the app’s seller on the App Store. The offer terms on the website also still point you to GambleAware, even though the charity closed in March 2026.

Dabble – The Verdict

As a betting app, Dabble is very good. Copying a stranger’s acca, playing Pick’Em and stopping a rocket for a better price are more fun than a lot of things a more traditional bookie offers, and you can use its welcome free bets on any market you like. But trust is about more than features. A 2.1 score on Trustpilot and a run of complaints about closed accounts and withheld free bets tell a different story from the app store ratings, and an out-of-date help centre doesn’t help us establish trust. Dabble is worth a try for the social side, but we’d keep your stakes small until you’ve made your first withdrawal.
