Our Methodology

Our Rating Criteria

Each bookmaker receives a score out of 5 in five categories. Those scores are weighted to produce the overall rating you see beside every brand.

• Licensing & Safety

  25% of score

  Active licence with a recognised regulator, segregated customer funds, encryption and working responsible gambling tools.

• Odds Quality

  25% of score

  Average margins sampled across football, tennis and basketball, compared against the market over a full month.

• Bonus Value

  20% of score

  Headline amount adjusted for wagering requirement, minimum odds and expiry — a big number with harsh terms scores poorly.

• Payout Speed

  20% of score

  Timed real-money withdrawals on every available method, repeated at least three times per bookmaker.

• Support & App

  10% of score

  Live chat response times, quality of answers, plus a week of real use on both iOS and Android.
