Big Betting Brands to Build on New Revenue Streams in 2021

Rain, shine, regulation issues or pandemic, it seems nothing stops the UK sports betting industry from moving forward with new plans to evolve and find additional ways to turn a profit.
That being said, there’s no question that 2020 has been one of the more challenging years, even for the giants of the UK sportsbook sector. Beyond the lockdowns of physical betting shops as well as football and other major sports leagues shutting down for three months, regulation is always a concern. This is especially true when it comes to the protection of underage and problem gamblers.
For instance, recently, the Gambling Related Harm All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) called for a ban on gambling advertisements in the UK. The issue the APPG has isn’t specifically related to the ads themselves, but the serious negative effects they may have on individuals who are trying to distance themselves from the industry due to gambling-related problems, addiction or any other reason.
Still, even with the ongoing pandemic and the threat of tightening regulations, UK bookmakers, particularly the industry’s big bookies like BetFred, William Hill, Ladbrokes and Coral, to name a few, continue to push forward with the hopes of making 2021 a more profitable year than 2020.
Betfred Hopes to Make it Big in the US Betting Market
Taking a look at Betfred, this isn’t an operator that is keen to put all of its eggs into one basket and is quick to find new revenue streams whenever given the chance. For instance, it jumped on the mobile betting bandwagon years back when it became available and now the brand holds one of the most downloaded betting apps in the UK market. Meanwhile, Last year (2019), it entered the US betting market with big plans for its Betfred USA operations.
Even though Betfred USA had not yet launched online when everything shut down due to the pandemic, once Iowa casinos reopened and they launched in Colorado, the sport that has brought Betfred the biggest action in the US market has been MMA. While this certainly pales in comparison to the big US team sports such as the NFL, NBA and MLB, once these are back in full swing next year, the company expects to see an uptick in volume.
William Hill Intends to Merge its Retail and Online Businesses
William Hill is another big bookie making the news. William Hill is set to merge retail and online businesses according to a recent announcement made by the UK operator. Phil Walker, William Hill’s UK online managing director has announced that he will take over responsibility for the UK Single Market Division and will work alongside the head of the retail division, Nicola Frampton, during a six-month transition period before Frampton steps down.
The merger is William Hill’s new plan to overcome regulatory and economic obstacles, including the betting restrictions decision on FOBT in 2019, which resulted in the shuttering of 713 of its betting shops.
Ladbrokes and Coral Re-open Betting Shops
Wasting no time for the opportunity to welcome back profits from their physical betting shops, GVC announced the re-opening of its Ladbrokes and Coral betting shops in England back in June. Since 15 June, all 2,455 shops in England have opened their doors with the ease of the pandemic lockdown in the UK.
That said, new health and safety measures have been put into place to support social distancing and additional hand sanitizer stations. Moreover, there are pre-shop opening checks as well as clear guidance on maximum customer occupancy levels, which are based on the layout and size of each shop. GVC is gearing up to make the most of the remainder of 2020, readying to welcome in a more revenue rich 2021.
All in all, it will be interesting to see what other new steps UK bookies – big or small – will take to ensure that next year is a profitable one.

CasinoHawks spreads its wings with bold rebrand for UK market

Affiliate marketing powerhouse unveils new identity and content strategy to strengthen player trust in competitive online casino market
CasinoHawks, the UK-facing affiliate brand of Game Lounge, has unveiled a bold new look and content strategy designed to strengthen its position in one of the world’s most competitive online gambling markets.
Launched in 2012, CasinoHawks has built its reputation as a trusted source of casino knowledge for British gamblers, providing detailed reviews, expert-led insights, and industry news for more than a decade. Its latest refresh represents a significant step forward in creating a more modern, engaging, and unmistakably British identity for the brand.
The new strategy places a sharper focus on delivering value to UK players through locally relevant, expert-driven content. Reviews are now written exclusively by UK-based specialists, ensuring recommendations reflect the needs of domestic audiences.
Alongside this, the site’s visual identity has been refreshed with a new colour palette, updated branding, and a reimagined logo – with the hawk symbolising sharp insight and the checkmark representing trustworthiness and compliance.
Keith Geary, Director of Casino at CasinoHawks, said: “We wanted to distinguish ourselves from international sites by feeling more familiar to UK players. At the same time, this was the perfect opportunity to modernise the brand and create a more engaging and user-friendly experience.”
The rebrand builds on a strong track record of product innovation and marketing milestones. CasinoHawks launched its popular Bonus Wagering Calculator in 2022, debuted a dedicated YouTube channel in 2023, and earned the QMRA Quality and Compliance stamp of approval in 2024.
The new branding is supported by a content strategy designed to elevate CasinoHawks beyond a standard affiliate model. By investing in deeper insights, greater transparency, and a more relatable tone of voice, the brand aims to set a new standard for player-first content in the UK casino affiliate space.
Geary added: “Our goal is simple – to empower UK players with the tools and insights they need to make safe, informed decisions. This rebrand is just the beginning of a wider strategy to build stronger connections with our audience and reinforce CasinoHawks as the go-to destination for casino knowledge.”
