How we research and review betting apps

Last updated 2026-09-18

Method in one sentence

We start with a specific user question, verify permanent product facts in primary sources, test the decision criteria that matter and disclose commercial relationships next to the action.

1. Search intent before copy

Every indexed article has one primary job. Navigational pages help a reader find a safe official route; support pages diagnose a process; commercial pages compare fit; informational pages explain a concept. We avoid creating near-duplicate location or keyword pages without a distinct answer.

2. Source hierarchy

  1. Regulators and government services for law, advertising and self-exclusion.
  2. Current operator terms and official help documentation for product rules.
  3. Official app stores for publisher and compatibility details.
  4. Our structured comparison and interface observations.
  5. Public reviews only as unverified reports, never as standalone proof.

3. Comparison criteria

We compare legal availability, product model, sports and racing relevance, market clarity, app navigation, account controls, withdrawal guidance and safer-gambling tools. We do not award a winner solely for a temporary offer.

4. Commercial separation

Affiliate links use a sponsored relationship attribute and sit beside a clear disclosure. Commercial potential does not permit fabricated bonuses, guaranteed outcomes, concealed conditions or the removal of relevant harm information.

5. Updates and corrections

Material pages show an update date and link to the sources used. When a product, law or operator term changes, we update the affected claim rather than silently preserving an attractive but outdated snippet.

6. AI-assisted production

Tools may help organise research, detect broken links or check consistency. Publication decisions remain governed by this policy: claims require sources, pages must solve a distinct task and automation cannot invent first-hand testing or credentials.
