Editorial Policy
BookieScout is an online site that provides bookmaker reviews and comparisons. This page discusses how we research and verify our material, as well as ensuring its independence.
Our Principles
- Priority of facts. Any information about a bookmaker — from licensing and bonus requirements to payment and withdrawal policies — is verified against the bookmaker’s terms or any other official sources.
- Same rules for everyone. Every bookmaker is assessed with the same methodology, whether or not we work with it.
- Open about strengths and weaknesses. We point out both positive and negative sides of a bookmaker. We do not guarantee you winning and we do not promote betting as a means of earning money.
- Specific to your country. Since bookmakers, payment options and betting rules vary by country, each local version is written specifically for local players.
- Simple explanations. We explain complicated notions such as betting, minimum odds, KYC in plain language without exaggerations.
Who Writes Our Content
Our articles are written by the BookieScout team, which comprises experts in betting market analysis, editorial and search optimization skills. Feel free to get acquainted with us on our About page. We always indicate who writes an article and when it was last edited.
How We Research
We use first-hand sources:
- Terms and conditions of bookmakers, their bonuses and payment policies
- Help center and gambling information of operators
- Public information from license holder
- Official app store listings
Details that change often, such as bonus amounts, minimum deposits or odds, are recorded with the date we checked them.
Fact-Checking
Before the information becomes available to anyone else, it goes through another reviewer who verifies the accuracy of the facts provided, the appropriateness of the conclusion, and ensures that the key limitations, such as wagering restrictions, minimum odds, withdrawal limits, and age limits, have been mentioned properly.
What We Don’t Publish
- “Sure odds”, “fixed matches” or guaranteed tips
- Information that promotes chasing losses or betting money that you don’t have
- Tips for people under the minimum gambling age
- Sponsored articles disguised as regular content
Should we ever produce sponsored content, we would label it as such.
Updates and Corrections
The bookmaker will keep changing his offer and terms constantly. An update will be made in case of any important changes, and all pages will display their last update date.
Should you find an error or outdated information, contact us. All reports will be reviewed by us and any mistakes corrected at once.
Independence
We may earn a commission when you follow links to the bookmaker on our site. This does not affect our writing, the rating of the bookmaker, or its position on our ratings list. The operator cannot read or approve our content prior to publishing. Find out more on our Affiliate Disclosure.
Responsible Betting
Our content is for adults of legal betting age in their country. We treat betting as entertainment, explain the risks and the tools that help you stay in control, and point readers to support services on our Responsible Betting page.
