Betting Sites Reviews

Reading a balanced and unbiased review of a betting site is the best way to get the information you require before signing up and depositing money. You do not want to be in the position where you have signed up to the online bookmaker and cannot place a bet due to the market not being covered or even your deposit method not being accepted.

There are thousands of betting sites reviews online and most of these reviews have been written so poorly without the reviewer even singing up for themselves!

Why are our betting site reviews different?

Firstly, we have many years of experience in the betting industry, not only in the online betting site review sector, but as an actual bettor. The sites we review have been used by ourselves, we have made deposits, made withdrawals, spoke to the customer service departments, raised trouble tickets, placed bets, used the live streaming platforms used all aspects of the betting site.

We have a great relationship and speak regularly to the bookmakers listed on this site, and if any issues are picked up, they are resolved in a quick and fair manner.

How do we review a betting site?

Our betting site reviews go into a lot more detail than other online betting sites, we want to ensure that all the bookmakers are safe to use and have been tested thoroughly.

Licensed and regulated.

We make sure that the betting site is fully licensed and legal to use to ensure that not only we are protected, but you as a consumer are protected. We do not want to list any betting site that has not gone through the official licensing process. There are different levels of licence that can be issued in the UK and these levels will affect how safe your money is if the bookmaker was to go out of business.

Register a new account.

We test the opening a new account process by clicking on the link provided from this website, ensuring the sign up bonus is correct and then filling out our details to ensure the process is smooth. When opening a new account you will need to fill out personal details and you may have to provide identification, this is to stop people opening multiple betting accounts or fradulant activities. Some bookmakers do not require you to upload documents but they will do a check on your details to ensure you are who you say you are. You will not have a credit check when opening a new account as you are not getting a credit account.

Make a Deposit.

We make a deposit and see how easy it is to choose the different payment methods. We go through all the different payment methods available, this could be a debit card, e-wallet, paypal, apple pay, google pay or numerous others.  When you make a deposit at a bookie you need to be aware that you may need to provide identification if you are making a very large deposit.

Make a Withdrawal.

We make sure we make a withdrawal to see how long it takes and if there are any delays or restrictions. When you make a withdrawal it is important to be aware that you may have to have provided identification, also you may be only available to withdraw by the same method you deposited with.

Sign up or Welcome Bonus

Most betting sites will offer a welcome bonus or a sign-up bonus, they are incentives to get new customers signing up to their betting platform. However, not all bonuses are equal, and some are better than others. We explain fully what the sign-up bonus means, how much you can receive, how much you ned to deposit, and if there is a wagering requirement.

Ongoing Promotions

Ongoing promotions are a great way of being able to bet on your favourite markets with the knowledge that there may be cashback, or a bonus bet or a free bet. We go through what to look out for and how to claim these extra bonus bets.

Markets Covered

We go through the markets covered by the online betting sites and how they compare to other bookies. When using a bookmaker, you want to be able to have the choice of all the markets and not be pegged back by lack of options.

Live Betting

Live betting has become so popular that bookmakers are redesigning there betting platforms to make this section more prominent. We review how good there live betting platform performs and what to look out for, like how long it takes to place a bet and the delay in accepting the odds.

Live Streaming

We review all the Live Streaming options available at each bookmaker, live streaming is a big draw for new customers and at some bookmakers you do not even need to place a bet to watch the action live.

Security

We review the security of the betting sites and how they protect their website and players. These days SSL is a must for any website, and we ensure that other security measures are implemented, we would not recommend an insecure website.

Customer Support

Testing customer support and live chat is a must for our reviews and we make sure that some difficult questions are asked. Some bookmakers will have support 24/7 and others will have a skeleton staff outside of business hours. Having a quality response to your question is important and if the live support agent cannot give a suitable response, they need to be able to escalate to help you out. Betting can be time sensitive so a rapid response if often required.

Mobile and Application

We review the mobile and mobile applications versions of the betting site. How easy are the interfaces and can you reach the markets that you like in a timely manner? Most people use their mobiles for betting and like the option to bet whilst on the go.

Casino and Games

We have reviewed the casino and games options available at the betting site. Bookmakers like to promote their casino as it is an extra income stream for them, and they have good margins on the casino section. We review how many and what type of games they have as well as the software providers they use.

Summary

To summarise, there are many factors to look out for before signing up to a betting site and it may seem quite daunting. But you do not need to worry as we have done all the hard work for you.

 

Betting Sites Reviews Frequently Asked Questions

Our reviews are trustworthy and have been made with actual user experience, we do not sugar coat or pander to the bookmaker’s requests. We feel it is important to paint a realistic picture of the experience you will receive as we want return visitors to this website.

This is a tricky question as the review process takes a minimum of a few weeks, this is due to the fact we need to sign up to the bookmaker, place bets and make a withdrawal. You will see a lot of online reviews from websites that have not even tested the betting site.

We do receive a small commission for referring customers to bookmakers which helps us to keep this site free to use. Our reviews are not led by this and we only offer impartial advice from personal experience.
