How We Rate Betting Apps

We test every app on real phones with real money before we rate it. We do not look at ads or promises from the app owners. We only write about what actually happened when we played.
This site uses affiliate links to make money. However, this does not change our opinion. A paid link will never make an app get a higher rating.

The five blocks

Each app is scored across five blocks. We mark every block from 0 to 10 depending on different aspects. They reflect how good the app ended up performing, and the ones that matter the most are listed below.

Block Weight What it covers
App experience 30% How it was installed, the app size, required phone system, permissions needed, plus how fast and stable it runs.
Betting product 25% Sports covered, live betting, Bet Builder, Cash Out type, statistics inside the app, streaming, Early Payout
Payments and withdrawals 20% Minimum deposit and withdrawal, methods accepted, withdrawal time and fees
Bonuses and promotions 15% Whether there is a genuine sports offer, wagering, qualifying odds, time limits
Trust and support 10% Whether it has a real license, who runs it, if the app is safe, and how fast support replies.

How We Calculate the Score

We rate 5 main areas from 0 to 10 based on the testing we do ourselves. Then we combine these scores using set weights to calculate your final overall rating out of 10.
Next, we divide that number by 2 to get the final 0 to 5 score that you see on our site. A reviewer can adjust the score slightly by 0.3 points if needed, and this small tweak cannot change the real test results.
So a 3.1 out of 5 is a weighted result from five separate marks, not a single gut number.

Testing levels

Not every app is tested to the same depth, and we say so on each page. The label at the top of a review tells you which level applies.

Our Real Life Testing

We are installing the application on 6 different devices that were bought with real money. We use them to sign up, make a deposit, place a bet, and withdraw. This testing shows most clearly how the app performs.

Checking Official Resources

We did not test the app ourselves. Instead, we checked the information by using the official website, terms, as well as store pages. All the data is accurate, but we haven’t used the app in real life.

Relying on Official Documentation

We created this page using only public documents without trying the app. This is our basic review level for apps we have not tested yet.

Devices Used for Testing

Each app is checked using six phones, with either Android or iOS, and we use both newer and older models, like:

  • Google Pixel 2 XL
  • Google Pixel 10 Pro
  • Samsung Galaxy S25
  • Samsung Galaxy A17
  • Apple iPhone 11
  • Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

By using older phones like Google Pixel 2 XL, we can see if the app works on everyday phones, not just brand new ones.

What the score does not tell you

If a bonus is only for casino games, we tell you and don’t count it as a sports offer. Gambling is risky, so only bet what you can afford to lose. To learn more, check our responsible gambling guide.

How We Keep Ratings

We check the app multiple times so that the review is up to par. You can see the date of the last review at the top of the page. Apps change, so a score reflects the app as it was on that date.
