Our methodology
Rankings should be explainable.
We document what is checked, what is sourced from an operator, what is independently verified and what remains unknown.
- Licensing: authority, legal entity and verification date.
- Product: sports, markets, mobile experience and essential features.
- Payments: methods, stated limits, material conditions and evidence.
- Safety: age controls, responsible-play tools and support information.
- Transparency: affiliate status and known research limitations.
