How review scores are calculated

Here are the criteria we score sportsbooks on, a definition of 10/10 performance, and examples of things that cause sportsbooks to lose points.

Min-bet and max-bet

For consistency, we use the highest max-bet and the lowest min-bet we can find with odds close to even money.

User experience

User interface and user experience elements such as

• Intuitive design
• Clear navigation
• Layout and clarity of things like betting history and account settings
• Site speed

A 10/10 sportsbook has easy navigation, a logical layout, and intuitive settings that are easy to bet on and load in under 3 seconds. We test all of this on desktop and mobile.

Odds

10/10 is given to whichever crypto sportsbook has the best odds. Other sportsbooks lose 1 point for every half % of the overround they have above the sportsbook with the best odds.

Range of bets

A 10/10 sportsbook offers odds on everything from water polo to chess and horse racing. They offer dozens of different bet types from the first player to score a 3-pointer in a basketball game to how many corners each team will take in the second half of a soccer game.

There are 2 elements in this rating

1. The range of sports, leagues, and events available to bet on
2. The range of different bet types and betting markets available per event

Live betting

Sportsbooks lose points if betting is unavailable too often during an in-play betting event as we look for reliable in play betting specific features like

• Live scores
• Video streams
• Cashout buttons to automatically trade out all bets on a market

Transactions

A 10/10 sportsbook provides deposits, withdrawals, and player-to-player transfers for any amount, instantly, with 1 confirmation betting available.

3 transaction types we look at are:

Sportsbooks lose points if:

There are 3 elements to this rating and they are as follows:

1. What channels customer service is available through
2. The speed of replies from customer service
3. The accuracy of replies from customer service

Points are lost by things like giving incorrect information, slow response time to emails, undertrained staff and only having 1 method of contact available.

Privacy, Security, and Transparency

There are 2 main elements to this rating

• How much personal information do they require? The less the better!
• Is 2-factor authentication available?

A great amount of sports betting sites allow fully anonymous accounts without requiring an email address.
