Our methodology
Seven categories decide the published order, and the welcome offer carries the most weight at 25%. That order is set once and runs identically on every page of this site, so no page can promote a brand out of turn.
The seven weighted categories
| Category | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome offer value | 25% | Headline value in USD terms, wagering multiple, qualifying odds, expiry window, and whether the terms are stated plainly. |
| Odds quality | 20% | Confirm the current price in the operator cashier before you place a bet. |
| Payment methods | 15% | Whether a reader in Somalia can realistically fund an account, in USD or in crypto, and how the withdrawal route is constrained. |
| Sports coverage | 15% | Depth on Premier League, Champions League, LaLiga and Serie A, then Ocean Stars, Somali Premier League, AFCON and the FIFA World Cup cycle. Basketball and cricket are checked second. |
| Platform quality | 10% | Behaviour on a mid range Android handset over a mobile connection, bet slip clarity, and whether the site works without a dedicated app. |
| Live betting | 10% | In-play market count on football, settlement speed, and whether cash out is offered and honoured. |
| Customer support | 5% | Whether a real reply arrives on live chat, in English, within a reasonable window. |
How odds quality is measured
Margin is the only figure here you can verify yourself in under a minute. Add the implied probabilities of all three outcomes on a match result market: prices of 2.10, 3.40 and 3.60 give 47.6%, 29.4% and 27.8%, which totals 104.8%.
The 4.8% above 100 is the operator's cut. On Premier League match result markets a margin under 5% is competitive and anything over 8% is expensive. Run the same market at two books on the same afternoon and the gap is usually larger than the marketing.
How the published order is set
One published order runs across the whole site. The homepage, the hubs, the comparison table and the structured data all show the same sequence, so no page can quietly promote a brand out of turn. Changing the order is a recorded editorial decision and no commercial team can make it.
What the methodology uses
The published order uses operator terms, cashier details supplied in the brand feed and the category weights above. A page does not publish a score or a claimed account test.
The site keeps product claims separate from opinion.
- Operator facts need a published source or the brand feed.
- Promo codes render from the data layer, not editorial prose.
- A stated network must match the cashier and the sending wallet.
- A correction changes the page fact and its source together.
Editorial separation
The people who assess a book write the assessment. Commercial arrangements have no input into the order, the category weights or any published finding. Where we earn a commission it is disclosed on the page carrying the link, and the affiliate disclosure sets that out in full.
Corrections
If a figure or a claim on this site is wrong, write to [email protected]. Corrections are applied everywhere the same claim appears, not just on the page you were reading.
Questions readers ask
Do operators pay for a higher position
No. Position is an editorial decision and it is not for sale. Commission is disclosed on every page that carries a tracked link.
Why is there no score out of ten on each brand
Because a score out of ten implies an account was opened, funded, bet on and withdrawn from. Until that cycle runs on a brand, a number would be decoration.
Do the category weights change per brand
No. The same seven weights apply to all 19 brands, from 25% on the welcome offer down to 5% on customer support.
Does the order change when an operator changes its terms
Yes. The inputs are the operator cashier pages, the published terms and the brand feed, so a changed minimum, a new network or a rewritten clause feeds through. Each page also carries the date its own content last changed, so you can see when a claim was last touched.
