A Message About The Future of Betmate

Betmate Closure Announcement

It's with a heavy heart that we're letting you know Betmate won't be returning next season.

What started as a simple idea, to make betting more social, became something far bigger thanks to you: a platform that gave thousands of football fans a different kind of matchday, a genuinely social way to back your gut, build a Fantasy side, and play Survivor (Last Man Standing) alongside a brilliant community.

We couldn't grow the player numbers fast enough to give you the size of pots you deserved, and a peer-to-peer consumer app needs that scale to stand on its own. But the games you played, and everything you taught us along the way, caught the attention of some of the biggest operators in the industry, and that opened a door we couldn't ignore.

So this isn't the end. It's the start of the next chapter. We're taking everything Betmate became, the games, the ideas, the lessons you handed us, into Engage Games, where we're partnering with some of the biggest names to keep building the most engaging games out there for as many players as possible.

Goodbye, for now...

To everyone who entered a pot, made a Captain pick, or just came along for the ride: thank you. You made this what it was, and together you won close to £2m along the way. We're so grateful you were part of it.

This is just the beginning of our story, and we'd love you to follow along as we aim to take the industry to new heights. You'll find us at engagegames.io.

Closure FAQs

Why is Betmate closing?

This wasn't an easy decision. We built a brilliant, passionate community around Betmate, but we couldn't grow the player base fast enough to sustain a peer-to-peer model at the scale it needed, the scale that delivers the size of prize pots and the experience you deserved.

Over the past five years, the games and ideas behind Betmate caught the attention of major operators across the industry. So we've decided to put everything into Engage Games, where we're partnering with some of the biggest names in betting to keep building the most engaging games out there for as many players as possible.

When is Betmate shutting down?

Betmate officially closed on 1 June 2026. From that date, you can no longer play or create pots.

What will happen to Survivor pots?

All live Survivor pots were settled on 30 May 2026. Any players still surviving in a pot at that point shared the remaining prize pool equally. You then have until 31 August 2026 to withdraw any winnings.

What happens to the money in my account?

The Betmate app will stay live for withdrawals until 31 August 2026. Please log in and withdraw any available funds before then.

After 31 August 2026, the app will no longer be accessible. If you still have funds left, email us at closure@betmate.app before 1 December 2026 with your username and bank details, and our team will process your withdrawal manually.

What happens if I don't withdraw my funds before the deadlines?

We'd really encourage you to withdraw everything before 31 August 2026, while the app is still live and it's quickest for you.

After that date, withdrawals are handled manually by email. Just send a request to closure@betmate.app before 1 December 2026 and we'll sort it.

Will my personal data remain safe?

Yes. Your data will continue to be handled securely and in line with our Privacy Policy and all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Will customer support still be available?

Yes. Our team will be around throughout the closure period to help with withdrawals, account access, and anything else you need.

You can reach us at closure@betmate.app.

Is this the end of the Betmate team?

Not at all. The consumer app is closing, but the team carries on through Engage Games, where we're building and distributing games with operators and organisations that reach millions of players worldwide.
