Bookmaker Reviews

The Bookmakers.bet team aims to provide our community with detailed and unbiased bookmaker reviews and help them engage in safe betting. We make sure each of our 350+ tested brands follows specific security and performance standards.

To achieve that, we follow an effective four-step method. We verify their legitimacy, test their platforms, write and publish their reviews, and keep on monitoring their activities to update their position in the industry.

When we do our research, we also fit bookies in suitable categories, like new or crypto, to make your choice easier. In this guide, you will see every secret behind our betting reviews process and how we assess sportsbooks according to their type.

Full List Of Bookmakers Reviews

What Is Our Experts’ Role In Reviewing?

Our experts comply with a specific process every time they review a bookmaker. In the first three steps, they:

  1. check if the bookie is reliable
  2. evaluate the product
  3. structure the review article according to our specific pattern

Their work does not stop there, though. Every 30 days, they log back into their player accounts and re-test each sportsbook. This ensures that core updates in rules, platform and performance are all integrated into our ratings.

Do you make sure your reviewers remain unbiased?

We do not let bookmakers influence our reviewers in any case. Since our reviewing process is standardized, we can fully understand when an opinion is biased and make sure to put it back on track quickly.

Other than direct influence, we do not let affiliate partnerships have any real impact on the overall function of our website. Everything you read on Bookmakers.bet is completely transparent.

Are your experts fully aligned with industry trends?

Our experts actively monitor all market shifts, from regulatory updates to the emergence of new bookies and new betting trends. We are also constantly on the hunt for innovations in payment and sportsbook technologies.

Since the industry is always undergoing changes, we must secure that our bookmakers’ reviews are always up-to-date. Our constant presence in conferences and our access to insider reports are the keys.

Do you encourage differences in opinions between reviewers?

It is only natural for multiple people to hold different opinions on a matter, but our reviews are so data-driven that all discrepancies are evened out. This is where our fact-checkers come into play.

Whenever a disagreement comes into play, the expert who holds a validating role, performs a series of tests to make sure that individual preferences do not interfere with our reviews.

Are Player Reviews Important For Our Process?

A core aspect of our assessment is player reviews on bookmakers. We encourage our readers to spend some time and write a couple of things about their experience, as we believe you are the best reporters.

These testimonials can be very helpful to other players who are cautious before choosing a bookie. We should note that comments are carefully examined by our support team, to make sure that they are not manipulated.

On sportsbooks that have the same design I get shorter odds after signing in. Here I get the same from what I see before login. The payments seem less limited too.

The only reason I'm not giving the full rating is that I had bad experience with a Costa Rica website. Pitbet is nothing like it, it's my go-to site now. I sometimes take out a bet from their Turbo Combos and replace it with another, a few dollars come back tenfold.

How Do We Review Bookmakers?

How We Verify Legitimacy in Our Bookmaker Reviews

As soon as we decide to write a new review, our experts spend the first 2 days investigating whether the bookie is reliable. Day 1 is dedicated to verifying licensing and checking the background and reputation of the operator.

Day 2 is all about security. Our reviewing team checks how platforms deal with any potential cyber threats. The aim is to confirm that deposits and withdrawals are totally safe. Let’s see the first steps of the process.

Deep dive into licensing

A license from a strict regulator says a lot about a reliable bookmaker. It dictates where the bookie is able to operate and the rules that must be adhered to. Here is how we evaluate licensing:

  1. Validate license number on the regulator’s official website
  2. Get a timeline of any licensing changes
  3. Search for country restrictions
  4. Collect data on fines, suspensions, or penalties
  5. Check for Responsible Gambling Policies & Player Protection Tools

Testing registration from multiple locations can reveal operating under a local license, which in some cases means that extra terms are added to ensure compliance. Also, in case they have found trouble with disciplinary action, we check the reason (e.g. marketing breaches).

Check the owner company’s background

Our position in the industry allows us to look behind the lines and have the knowledge of when a group launches a sportsbook. In other words, we know who is really behind each bookie and we do the following:

  1. Research info on the bookmaker’s parent company
  2. Search for any financial trouble in the past or currently
  3. Check for affiliations with reputable organizations like IBIA

Their history in the market is a crucial factor of reliability. We have seen cases of companies releasing new bookies online after having their current ones on the verge of closure due to mistreatment.

Conduct research on the bookmaker’s reputation

We understand that some betting site reviews are about new ones that have not been on the market long enough to draw conclusions. In this case we check their affiliations. The longer-standing ones though are being examined in terms of stature as follows:

  1. Gather player opinions and complaints
  2. Make sure to distinguish fake reviews
  3. Check how reputation has changed over time

You cannot imagine how many emails we get regarding bookmakers we have not reviewed yet. We also read forums like Trustpilot and Quora and social media communities to get a 360 point of view.

Ensure player security

The next step is where we start acting like real players. This is when we check security factors to see if a brand is worthy of betting. Here are the safety testing actions we do:

  1. Create a new account selecting a Welcome Bonus
  2. Make testing deposits to ensure payment security
  3. Check for SSL encryption (HTTPS), Two-factor authentication (2FA) and/or One-time password (OTP)
  4. Read T&Cs for policies on Anti-money laundering (AML)

Choosing a bonus is a proactive thing we do for later steps. We deposit with every method available as we check various parameters. For example, we check if card transactions are PCI DSS compliant.

What Is Our Process Of Testing A Bookie’s Platform?

Once we have made our reliability tests, the fun part begins. Our process requires another 2 days to check navigation through the sportsbook’s interface, place real-money bets, ask for withdrawals and seek help from customer support.

An integral part of our sports betting sites reviews is performance. We stretch it to as many different rating factors as possible to have you fully covered. Let’s examine how we structure our betting activity for investigation reasons.

Navigate through the sportsbook

The first thing all bettors do when entering a sportsbook is to click and redirect to the screen they want. Some of them want to sign up, deposit and get a bonus, while others want to find out more about the sports and markets selection.

The Bookmakers.bet reviewers navigate through all possible screens, from a login form and payment screen to the sportsbook homepage and specific pre-game and in-play matches. It is also important to test popup screens like betslips in terms of responsiveness.

It is very important to evaluate the website on desktop and mobile, as well as multiple devices, browsers and operating systems. We must provide you with a complete view on UX and loading times.

Make transactions

Since we have already tested payment security, it is now time to check what else happens when making a transaction. How quick are deposits and, most importantly, withdrawals? What are the limits and are there any fees?

All these answers come to light, as we deposit 10-15 times with multiple methods and ask for the respective withdrawals after placing successful bets (don’t worry we own multiple player accounts).

We check things like payment gateways that slow down card and e-wallet deposits or whether crypto payments happen on-chain or via third-party. If KYC is required, we test how straightforward the procedure is, and adapt our bookmaker review accordingly.

Review the bonus terms and conditions

Bonuses are one of the strongest selling points of bookies and one of the things players must be really cautious about. We receive many complaints about how you got “scammed” with shady bonus tactics, and to be honest, sometimes it is just a misunderstanding.

Analyzing the rules is very important to evaluate a bonus’s worth and avoid mishaps. Therefore, we carefully read all wagering requirements, including minimum deposit and maximum amount, date of expiry and country restrictions.

Also, we test the usability of offers. This includes the bonus type, odds and bet types, sports or markets availability, as well as limits on bets and winnings.

Evaluate betting markets and features

All through these 2 days we place hundreds of different bets to assess the depth of markets covered. We start from primary sports like football and tennis, and we end up wagering on if/when people will step on planet Mars.

60% of our activity takes place on live betting, since this is the section most players prefer. We bet on fast markets, activate quickbet and test match tracker and live streaming - if it is accessible.

Another thing we examine is the features provided by the bookie. We place bet builders to see their capacity, and we cash out or edit betslips to test their effectiveness in terms of value.

Compare odds

We want to make sure a bookmaker is competitive when it comes to odds. For this, we use our odds comparison tools to see how they fare against other brands that are considered industry leaders. We dive deep into all sports and markets.

First, we check how they approach top leagues like the Champions League or the Premier League. Then we get down on more niche events, where the odds payout naturally drops compared to the most popular ones.

If prices drop more than 6-8%, we consider that an inconsistency. After placing a series of won bets, we also check for what “hidden margins”. Sometimes the odds drop for successful existing players when logged in.

Contact customer support

During the whole process, we gather all possible issues a player might face. Then, we access customer support through various channels to see how quickly and effectively we can find a resolution.

The obvious thing to do is to send questions on live chat. There we can test if the agents are able to provide quality responses to complex issues, including confusing bonus terms and delays on withdrawals.

The extra mile is to seek further solutions through emails, phone support, social media, or even open forums with player complaints. The last case is where bookie representatives communicate with players publicly to facilitate their issues.

When Do We Write Our Bookmakers’ Reviews?

Now that we have made concrete conclusions on reliability and platform performance, it is finally time to make every finding public. The fifth day of the process is dedicated to shaping and writing our bookmaker reviews from start to end.

We use a clear and consistent structure with many tables to enhance user experience and content readability. If some of the elements are missing, it means that the bookie does not offer them.

How Often Do We Post New Bookmaker Reviews?

Other than being able to deliver trusted reviews, at Bookmakers.bet we also like categorizing bookmakers according to their type. We are always on the lookout for emerging sportsbooks, to evaluate their performance in the starting steps.

This not only proves our high level of expertise but also provides some precious help in your research for the suitable bookie. Let’s see how we are able to find the rookies quickly and how this brings value to you.

How We Spot New Bookmakers Quickly

One of our talents is the ability to review bookies that have recently entered the market quickly. We don’t do any magic; we just follow the common logic our expertise dictates as follows.

  • Daily Monitoring of Licensing Authorities: We check on all regulatory bodies for new entries, from stricter ones (UKGC, MGA) that are less likely to quickly license a brand, to more lenient ones (Curacao, Kahnawake, Anjouan) that can update their lists even once a day.
  • Follow Affiliate Programs: Affiliate networks usually provide easy access to their selection of bookies. Our contacts allow us to know a thing or couple about their new brands, even before their official launch.
  • Exploit Our Trusted Sources For Insights: Other connections of ours include fellow industry insiders and analysts, who come with valuable information on new trends. Sometimes, our discussions also contain info on the release of new bookies.
  • User Feedback: There have been rare occasions where our community members have caught us off-guard when it comes to new sportsbooks. This is something we appreciate and encourage you to share with us.

What Is The Value For You?

By being first to review new bookmakers, we provide our visitors with critical insights before most bettors have even heard of the brand. This means that we give you the upper hand in the following ways:

  • Ability to discover new sportsbooks early
  • Access to early bonuses and promotions that may not last long
  • Dodging potential scams by relying on our trust and security checks

Top 3 Newly Reviewed Bookmakers

What Differs Regarding Crypto Bookmaker Reviews?

Crypto betting is a really important market for us that requires an alternative approach in terms of reviewing, without influencing the structure. Since crypto bookies operate on blockchain, they offer specific perks to bettors.

The most common ones are obviously anonymous betting, sped up transactions and a modernised platform. Therefore, we have to uniquely evaluate them before concluding whether they are reliable or not.

How We Evaluate Crypto Bookmakers

Even though the basic principles of reviewing still apply, they are slightly alternated to cover this unique niche. This means that we check licensing in terms of cryptocurrencies and we approach payments in terms of variety, speed and safety.

Also, we review special features connected to crypto, and keep an eye around for the bookmakers’ reputation. Our aim is to help you avoid security concerns and fluctuating costs, and enjoy seamless anonymous action.

Verify licensing and security

First, we dive deep to see if the regulator body of choice has covered cryptocurrencies in their legislation. For instance, we know that MGA have and we trust crypto bookies licensed there.

We also check if the site has dedicated hot wallets for different coins and whether they need multi-signature verification. Finally, if available, we stress test the provably fair mechanism, to ensure its true randomness and fairness.

Test crypto payment systems

We evaluate the speed of deposits and withdrawals, not to verify that cryptos are by far the faster method which is common knowledge. We want to see if there are any intermediaries that make transactions slower.

To put that into perspective, some bookmakers claim a ‘crypto-only status’; in reality they use third-party gateways to facilitate payments, which come with extra fees. Others force exchanges from crypto to FIAT. For us, on-chain transactions are the optimal and we make sure to provide you with detailed information on this matter in each of our reviews.

Review special features

This part needs deep technical knowledge that we take pride in having. Our crypto team assesses any DeFi staking programs, built-in exchanges and NFT-based rewards, so you can get the maximum out of your deposits.

Crypto Bonuses also receive our highest scrutiny. Their terms are dissected to the t, exposing any potential pitfalls for bettors.

Monitoring Reputation & Player Feedback

Since crypto bookies are raising some concerns due to their anonymous nature, we want to gather any possible feedback from you. We keep an eye on trusted forums like Bitcointalk, Reddit and Trustpilot, and we are also part of some Telegram groups.

When we confirm your reports on restricted accounts, slow payouts, or unfair betting limits, we change our reviews accordingly. Bookmakers that demonstrate long-term reliability and fast customer dispute resolution receive higher trust scores.

Are All Reviewed Bookmakers Safe?

Since every bookmaker we review undergoes strict tests for security and reliability, it is only natural that some of them do not pass them. This may be unpleasant for some affiliates, but we prioritise your security.

This is the reason some articles are classified as scam bookmaker reviews. They are separated into three categories (blacklisted, avoided and closed), depending on the reasons that led us to declassify them.

Blacklisted bookies have multiple red flags regarding their product, while sites to avoid have done some minor mischief. Closed sportsbooks are a different thing, as it is not necessary that they have done something bad. Yet we still put them here, so as our readers know that and not get scammed.

How Do We Identify Unsafe Bookies?

Our method is effective enough as we have managed to create a checklist of factors that can reveal if a sportsbook should not be recommended. We focus on unrealistic terms, license breaching, unfair bonuses, payment and bonus issues. Here is a sample of problems that can bring notoriety to bookies.

  1. Account: Verification rejections and delays, unexplained account suspensions or inability to log in, addition of obscure terms and conditions
  2. Licensing: Revoke of license from regulators, fake or expired certifications, continuous violations of jurisdiction rules
  3. Payments: Unfairly imposed withdrawal limits, constant withdrawal delays or rejections, uncredited deposits, hidden charges
  4. Bonus: Misleading advertisement, non-transparent terms, unjustified cancellation or refusal to award
  5. Platform: Lags and glitches, fake software, non-encrypted connections, fraud mirror sites

Of course, there are more issues that can lead us to rank brands as scam, including odds manipulation, cancelled bets and lack of responsible gambling schemes. You can submit a complaint on the form below.
