Every sportsbook "review" site is bought and paid for. They rank books by who pays the highest commission, not who treats bettors best. We're doing something different.
Most sites rank sportsbooks by affiliate commission rates. We rank by actual user experience: payout speed, winner treatment, hold percentage, bonus true value. If a book limits winners aggressively, we say so—even if they're a partner.
When a book advertises "Bet $5, Get $300 in Bonus Bets," we calculate the actual expected value after playthrough requirements and odds restrictions. Spoiler: it's usually 60-70% of the headline number. We show our work.
The sports betting industry has dirty secrets: parlay margin manipulation, algorithmic VIP targeting, withdrawal friction tactics, aggressive winner limiting. We document all of it with receipts.
Let's be real: we're an affiliate site. When you sign up for a sportsbook through our links, we may earn a commission. That's how we pay for hosting, research tools, and the coffee that fuels our exposé writing.
But here's our promise: We will never let affiliate relationships dictate our rankings or hide negative information about a partner. If DraftKings starts limiting winners aggressively, we'll write about it—even though they're one of our highest-paying partners.
The books that treat customers best will naturally get recommended more. The books that treat customers poorly will get exposed. Affiliate money follows honest recommendations, not the other way around.
Every claim we make is backed by primary sources, regulatory filings, or our own testing.
Affiliate links are clearly marked. Our methodology is published. Our conflicts are disclosed.
Bonus offers and terms change constantly. We update our data monthly and flag outdated info.
If we get something wrong, we correct it publicly and note the original error.
Know about shady practices we should investigate? Experienced something worth documenting? We protect our sources.
