Frequently asked about betting sites

How do you pick which betting sites to rank?
Every bookmaker is tested with real money before it is scored. We deposit, place a bet, request a withdrawal and measure how long each step takes. Licensing is checked against the regulator's own database, and the bonus terms are read in full so the headline figure is not the real offer. Ratings are re-tested quarterly and the last-updated date is shown on every page.
What makes a betting site trustworthy?
Three things matter more than anything else: a valid licence from a recognised regulator, terms that are written in plain language rather than hidden, and payouts that actually arrive at the stated speed. A site can have the best bonus in the world and still be worth avoiding if it holds withdrawals for no stated reason.
How often do these rankings change?
Every quarter at minimum, and immediately if an operator has a licensing problem, a sustained pattern of complaints, or a material change to its withdrawal terms. Each review page shows the date it was last re-tested.
