How We Rate UK Online Betting Sites

Before we recommend a betting site to our readers we first try it out for ourselves. Only then can we be sure that the experience delivers what it promises. So, our team have devised a strict set of criteria that they meticulously work through. Every time it comes to assessing a new online casino or sportsbook. By following this list to a T our team can be sure they don't miss a beat when it comes to their casino reviews and ratings.

Here's just a little of what we look for when we test out a UK betting site:

Free bets

We're not just interested in online bookies that tempt UK gamblers in with one-off free bets. We look for regular rewards and promotions, for loyal users, in our top rated betting sites.

Mobile Compatibility

In today's digital age it's unforgivable for a betting site not to have a mobile responsive in-browser website. Or a betting app that's compatible on the top smartphones and tablets.

Banking

From offering a wide range of methods for Brits to deposit cash, to paying out quickly on a win. We look at all aspects of a site's payment T&Cs.

security

Online safety in 2024 is nothing to be sniffed at. If an online bookmaker doesn't use a Secure Socket Layer to protect its member's data we won't even touch it.

Support

We're a reasonable bunch. So we understand things can occasionally go wrong. But in those instances we want things sorted - and fast. Responsive customer service is what we look for.

casino/poker

Aside from offering great online betting odds we also like it when our top rated sites dabble in real money casino games and video poker too. So we look for UK bookies online that offer just that.

Range of sport

While we're all for betting sites that take £ wagers on popular British sports such as football, rugby, cricket and tennis, our team aren't content with just these few events represented. In our eyes the best online bookies need to offer international sports bets on top of the UK action. So we also look for American baseball, basketball and NFL football, together with Canadian Hockey, New Zealand rugby, PGA golf, Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A betting action as standard. When we're rating the sports variety at a British online bookmaker in 2024.

Further Factors We Take Into Account

As well as the criteria listed above, our team also pays attention to a few other aspects of an online bookmaker's offer when determining how great it really is. These include the variety of sports betting action being offered at any given time. As well as how quickly payouts are approved and processed.

These are a handful of other ways we establish our betting site top list:
01. loyalty

We want to feel valued beyond our free welcome bet. With member loyalty schemes that recognise and reward repeat custom.

02. variety

The online odds bookies we recommend don't just offer odds on home soil action. They also accept wagers on oversees sports too.

03. odds

We've invested hours of manpower into scouring the World Wide Web for the best betting odds for British based gamblers.

04. withdrawals

Never patient when it comes to getting our hands on our winnings. We expect to be paid out fast after our bet comes good.

05. fairness

No one likes to be led up the garden path. We look for transparency in the T&Cs of the bookies and exchanges we promote.
