Editorial Policy — How We Review

Last Updated: August 3, 2026

Independence

This site earns affiliate commissions, and that fact is disclosed on every page that carries tracking links. The commercial relationship ends there: no operator sees a draft, approves a score, or pays for a position. Rankings are set by the methodology below and change only when the evidence changes. If an operator's figures worsen, its position drops — several operators pay us commission and rank in the bottom half of the list, which is what independence looks like in practice.

The Five Checks

Every betting site must clear the same five checks, in the same order, before it is listed:

  • Licensing confirmed and stated. The jurisdiction is published on the row. Where a primary source has not yet been landed, the licence is marked as a labelled estimate until confirmed — estimates are never silent.
  • Speed verified. The fastest withdrawal rail is timed or confirmed from operator documentation, and the full spread by method is documented on the review. A marketing claim is not a number.
  • Terms transcribed. Sign-up offers are quoted in the operator's own advertised wording — never rounded up, never trimmed of conditions.
  • Odds sampled. Standard-market pricing is compared across the lineup on -110 baselines; persistent shading is flagged.
  • Support tested. A real question is asked before publication, and the answer's speed and quality are noted.

Fact-Checking and Corrections

Figures on this site trace to a research log with quoted sources. Pages show their author and last-updated date; when a reader or a re-verification finds an error, the fix lands on the page and the date is bumped. Corrections can be sent through the Contact page — verified ones are usually applied the same business day.
