How We Rate Bookmakers
Every bookmaker is rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Our rating comprises seven weighted criteria: licensing and security (20%), deposits and withdrawals (20%), bonus offerings (15%), odds and markets (15%), mobile platform (10%), customer service (10%), and responsible gambling features (10%). The full breakdown is on our Methodology page.
Before You Sign Up
No matter which online bookmaker you select, consider these few simple points first:
- Make sure it accepts players from your country and shows its licence details
- Check that your preferred payment method works for withdrawals, not just deposits
- Read the bonus terms: bet, minimum odds, and expiration date
- Install applications only from the bookmaker's official site or store
- Establish a deposit limit before placing your first bet

FAQ
Why isn’t a certain bookmaker listed?
Either it doesn’t accept players from your country, or we haven’t reviewed it yet. We add new bookmakers regularly. You can suggest one.
How often are reviews updated?
Our team updates a review as soon as an important change is confirmed, such as a new bonus, deposit/withdrawal system. The review contains the information about the last update date.
Does a bookmaker pay for high ratings?
No. Our scoring criteria are publicly stated, and bookmakers aren’t able to review or approve any of our articles before their publication.
Why do bookmakers have different ratings in different countries?
The bonuses offered by them, payment systems and licensing are different in each of these markets, therefore they can perform differently in different countries.
