lilbet, Lilibet and li.bet are three different casinos
One letter separates the names. Three separate companies sit behind them, on three separate domains, under three separate licences. This page shows how to tell which one you are reading about — and the check takes about a minute.
Are lilbet and Lilibet the same company?
No. lilbet operates on lil.bet under Blackbelt N.V. with Curaçao licence OGL/2024/131/0296. Lilibet is a separate company on lilibet.com. The names differ by a single letter, the companies are unrelated, and search engines routinely return results for one when you searched for the other.
| Brand | Domain | Operating company | Licence |
|---|---|---|---|
| lilbet | lil.bet | Blackbelt N.V. (reg. 162196) | OGL/2024/131/0296, direct, 2024 |
| Lilibet | lilibet.com | Separate company | Historically 8048/JAZ |
| li.bet | li.bet | Separate company | Not verified here |
Written lowercase, lilbet is the brand on lil.bet. Lilibet with a capital L is the other one. The spelling is not a typo in either direction.
Why the licence number is the part that settles it
Names can be copied and marketing can be imitated, but a licence number resolves to exactly one company in a public register. That makes it the only field on a gambling site that cannot be borrowed from a competitor without the borrowing being visible.
Two systems are involved here, and knowing the difference explains most of the confusion. Until recently, Curaçao operated a master licence structure: a small number of master holders issued sub-licences to many operators, and the master number — such as 8048/JAZ — appeared on all of them. Dozens of unrelated brands could therefore display the same number, which made the number useless for identifying who actually ran a site.
That system was wound down by November 2024 and replaced with direct licensing, where the regulator issues a licence to the operating company itself. OGL/2024/131/0296 is one of those: it names Blackbelt N.V., and it covers the domains that company operates. One number, one company, one register entry to read.
So when a complaint mentions 8048/JAZ, it is describing a site under the old shared structure. lilbet has never operated under that number.
The one-minute check you can run on any casino
This works on every licensed gambling site, not only on the three above. It is the same sequence a payments team would use, and it needs nothing except a browser.
- Read the address bar. Write down the exact domain, including the ending. lil.bet, lilibet.com and li.bet look similar in a search result and are three different websites.
- Scroll to the footer. Licensed operators publish the operating company and licence number at the bottom of every page. A site that publishes neither has answered your question already.
- Search the licence number in the regulator's register. The entry names the company holding it. If the name in the register does not match the name in the footer, stop there.
- Confirm the domain is covered. The register entry lists the domains that licence covers. If the site you are on is not among them, you are looking at a different operation regardless of what the branding says.
How to read a complaint you find in search
Look for the domain first. A review that never names the exact website cannot be attributed to any operator with confidence, however detailed the rest of it is. This is not a defence of anyone — it is the same standard you would apply to a review of a phone that never says which model.
Complaints about gambling sites are frequently written months after the events they describe, on platforms that do not verify which site the author used. When three brands share a near-identical name, ordinary carelessness is enough to attach one operator's problem to another's search results. No bad intent is required.
The practical approach: if the complaint names a domain, check that domain against the licence register and you will know who it concerns. If it does not, treat it as unattributed. That standard is easy to apply, works in both directions, and does not require you to trust this site or any other.
Questions about the name confusion
Are lilbet and Lilibet the same company?
No. lilbet is lil.bet under Blackbelt N.V. with licence OGL/2024/131/0296. Lilibet is a separate company on lilibet.com.
What is licence 8048/JAZ?
A master licence number from the older Antillephone system in Curaçao, shared by many operators through sub-licences. That system was wound down by November 2024. lilbet has never operated under it.
How do I tell which brand a complaint is about?
Look for the domain in the complaint. Without it, the complaint cannot be attributed to any operator. With it, check the domain against the licence register entry.
Is li.bet related to either of them?
No. It is a third, separate operation on its own domain. We have not verified its licensing details, so this site does not state them.
Why do search engines mix them up?
Because the names differ by one character and the products are in the same category. Search engines cluster by similarity of text, and users searching for one brand frequently click results about the other, which reinforces the pairing.
