Ranked by our overall score: trust & licensing 30 %, range 25 %, website & apps 15 %, payments 15 %, support & safer gambling 15 %. Operator links are plain links to each homepage. Availability depends on where you live.
Five criteria with fixed weights. Trust carries the most weight, because a strict licence and a clean record matter more than any promotion.
Who licenses the operator, how strict that regulator is, ownership and track record.
Breadth and depth of sports, markets, live betting, casino and live dealer games.
Structure, speed, features and how the apps are distributed and rated.
Choice of methods, published limits and fees, withdrawal and verification rules.
Contact options, help centre quality, limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
Each review lists the operator's licences with links to the regulator, its strengths and weaknesses, and the date the facts were last checked.
The benchmark for in-play betting: huge market depth, live streaming and well-rated apps under strict licences, though busy for beginners.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyThe reference point for online poker, with strict licences and Flutter's backing; the casino and sportsbook are extras and availability keeps shifting.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyA polished, football-focused sportsbook with free streams for verified customers and strong local licences, but only where a Betano site exists.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyA polished, mobile-first casino with exclusive live tables and strong Swedish safeguards; a narrow cashier and past UK fines count against it.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyA dependable all-rounder with streaming, Bet Builder and a large casino under strict licences, though less deep than the market leaders.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyA football-first sportsbook with strong bet-editing tools and strict licences; the group's compliance history and vague support details hold it back.
18+ · Only where legal · T&Cs applyYes. We are an editorial site, not a gambling operator, and operators cannot buy a place in our rankings or approve what we write. All operator links on the site are currently plain links to each operator's homepage, and we receive no payment for them. See About us for how the site is funded.
No. Our reviews are editorial assessments built on public information: licence registers, terms and conditions, help centres, app store listings, company reports and reputable press coverage. We say this on every review and never describe tests we have not carried out.
That depends on your country, and sometimes on your state or province. Many countries license operators locally and block unlicensed sites. Every review lists the operator's licences with links to the regulator's register, so you can check whether it is licensed for your location before you sign up.
Each operator gets five sub-scores from 0 to 10: trust and licensing (30 %), betting markets or games range (25 %), website and apps (15 %), payments (15 %) and support and safer gambling (15 %). The overall score is the weighted mean, rounded to one decimal. The method page explains each criterion.
Free and confidential support is available in many countries, for example from GamCare in Great Britain, the National Council on Problem Gambling in the US and Gambling Therapy worldwide. Our responsible gambling page lists helplines, self-exclusion schemes and blocking tools.
