Scotbet remains Scotland’s biggest independent bookmaker and is an instantly-recognisable betting brand north of the border. The roots of the company date way back to 1961 when its first betting shop was opened in Niddrie near Edinburgh and under owner Kenny Waugh the business continued to expand mostly in the Edinburgh area and surrounding towns. For most of its existence, the company traded under the name of Morrisons Bookmakers Ltd. In 2008, Morrisons acquired Sean Graham’s Scottish portfolio of betting shops for £2m which included 13 branches of which three were in Edinburgh. Disaster was soon to follow however as the economic downturn following the financial crisis hit the Festival Group which owned the betting business. A management buyout led by John Heaton who was Chief Executive took place in July 2011 for an undisclosed sum and included its then 65 betting shop estate and online website and operations.
However, in July 2019, the Scotbet business went into receivership and only 30 betting shops survived by being bought out of administration by a newly formed Company called SCOTB123 Ltd. Management again led by John Heaton blamed increased costs and the newly introduced maximum stakes on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBT’s) for the business failing again.
The Scotbet website was taken down following the latest management buy out of the business in 2019 . Previously the company had operated a white label site via Corbetts Bookmakers. For Scotbet shop customers looking to place an online bet, we recommend using an experienced and trusted bookmaker such as Bet365 or Betfred.
