How We Review
Our methodology for evaluating sportsbooks and casinos — transparent, thorough, and always independent.
Our Mission
At iGambling, our mission is to provide unbiased, expert-driven reviews that help players make informed decisions. We believe every bettor deserves access to reliable, transparent information about where they play. Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships — ensuring that the ratings you see reflect genuine quality, not advertising spend.
Our Review Process
Every review follows a rigorous four-step methodology to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Research & Registration
We sign up for every sportsbook and casino we review using real accounts. Our team deposits real money to test the full user experience from start to finish — no demo accounts or special treatment.
Testing & Evaluation
We thoroughly test betting markets, odds competitiveness, game selection, payment processing, customer support responsiveness, and the overall user interface across both desktop and mobile platforms.
Expert Analysis
Our team of industry experts scores each operator across key categories using a standardized rubric. Multiple reviewers evaluate independently to minimize bias, and scores are averaged for fairness.
Ongoing Monitoring
Reviews are never one-and-done. We regularly re-test operators, track industry changes, and update our reviews to ensure they always reflect the current state of each platform.
Rating Categories
We evaluate every operator across five key categories to build a comprehensive, balanced rating.
Bonus & Promotions
We evaluate bonus value, wagering requirements, transparency of terms, and how generous ongoing promotions are for existing customers.
Betting Markets / Game Selection
We assess the variety and depth of sports betting markets, casino game libraries, live dealer options, and the availability of niche or emerging markets.
Mobile Experience
App quality, performance, feature parity with the desktop version, and the overall usability of the mobile experience across iOS and Android.
Customer Support
We test response times, the availability of support channels (live chat, email, phone), the quality and helpfulness of answers, and 24/7 availability.
Payments
Deposit and withdrawal speed, the variety of payment methods offered, transaction limits, fees, and the overall reliability of the payment process.
Our Rating Scale
We use a 0–10 scale to rate every operator. Here's what each tier means.
Best-in-class. Top-tier experience across all categories.
Outstanding operator with minor areas for improvement.
Solid option with a good overall experience.
Significant drawbacks. Proceed with caution.
Major issues. We do not recommend this operator.
Independence & Transparency
We use affiliate links — when you sign up through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund our operations and keep our content free.
However, our ratings are never influenced by affiliate partnerships. An operator cannot pay for a higher score or better placement. Our editorial team makes all rating decisions independently based on the criteria outlined above.
All reviews are independently researched and written by our in-house team. We do not accept sponsored reviews, and any commercial relationship is clearly disclosed to our readers.
