The table

All 19 brands in the published order, which is the same order on every page of this site. It is not a merit list and it is not sorted by anything you can win from.

The eight questions to compare on

Open two or three operators in separate tabs and work down in order. Questions one and two are eliminating questions, so answer those before you spend time on anything else.

1. Does it accept registrations from the country you are in. Find your country in the operator terms before you register.
2. Does it accept a rail you can use in both directions. USDT on TRC20 reaches every brand on this list. EVC Plus, ZAAD, SAHAL and eDahab reach none of them directly.
3. Does it price the competitions you follow. Look for a Somali Premier League fixture, a CAF Champions League tie or an AFCON qualifier, not just the Premier League.
4. Count the markets offered on one fixture you care about, at each operator, and compare the counts against each other rather than against a claim.
5. Add the implied probabilities across one market. Prices of 2.10, 3.40 and 3.60 total 104.8%, so the margin is 4.8%. Run the same market at the other book.
6. Check what verification asks for. Photo identity, proof of address and proof of the payment method is the usual set, and the name on the document has to match the name you register with.
7. Open the operator cashier, select the network it displays, and follow its current deposit, withdrawal, and verification steps.
8. Find the deposit limit, time out and self exclusion controls, and count the taps it takes to reach them from the home screen.

Question five is the only one that produces a number comparable between two operators without trusting anybody's rating. The odds tools on this site do the arithmetic.

Where the table stops

• Withdrawal times. These move with the method, the country and the state of the account, so one figure would mislead more readers than it helped.
• Licence detail. Every operator here is licensed outside Somalia, and the licence number sits in the operator's own footer.
• Country availability. Each operator sets its own restricted list, which is why it is question one rather than a column.

Important. 18 plus only. Comparing carefully reduces avoidable mistakes. It does not make betting profitable.

Questions readers ask

Why is there no best site named on this page

Because it depends on where you live, which of the four wallets you hold and which competitions you follow. A single named winner would be the wrong answer for most of the 19 rows above.

Why is the order the same everywhere on the site

One published order runs across every page and the structured data. That makes it checkable, and it stops any page promoting a brand quietly.

Operator cashier steps

Only where an operator publishes a current figure. Where nothing is published, this site leaves the cell empty rather than estimating.

How often do these figures change

Brand facts come from the operator feed and from the operators own cashier and terms pages. Each page carries the date its own content last changed, rather than the date of the most recent site build, so a stamp moving means something on that page moved.
