In short
-
3 steps
Collect and verify the facts, analyse them in one framework, then write the editorial assessment.
-
8 criteria
From licence and safety to esports markets, payments and support.
-
Ranking
Review scores feed the ranking, which compares the sites side by side.
Process
The steps behind every review
-
Collect the facts
Licence, owner, payment methods, offer terms and esports coverage, checked against the bookmaker's site and the regulator's register where one exists.
-
Analyse in one framework
The same criteria and the same questions for every site, so differences come from the bookmaker and not from the reviewer.
-
Editorial assessment
The reviewer weighs the findings, writes the review and sets the score.
Odds and margins on our pages are example odds until a live odds feed is connected.
Criteria
What we look at
-
Licence and reputation
Which regulator licenses the site, checked against the official register where possible, and the operator's history.
So what: an offshore licence protects you less than one from your own country.
-
Safety and player protection
Deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and age checks, and whether they are easy to find.
So what: limits you set yourself are the first line of protection.
-
Terms and transparency
Whether bonus, withdrawal and verification rules are clear and match what the site promotes.
So what: unclear terms are a cost you only see when you withdraw.
-
Bonuses
Wagering, minimum odds, time limits and whether esports bets count.
So what: an offer that excludes esports is worth nothing on this site.
-
Esports markets
Which games and tournaments are covered, and how many markets open per match.
So what: coverage of your game matters more than the overall title count.
-
Payments
Cards, e-wallets and crypto, limits, fees and how withdrawals are handled.
So what: a cheap price is no use if a withdrawal stalls.
-
Country access
Which countries the site accepts, and local currencies and payment methods.
So what: a top-ranked site may not take players from your country.
-
Customer support
Channels, hours and how clearly questions are answered.
So what: matters most when a payout or account check goes wrong.
Review and ranking
How a review differs from the ranking
| Review | Ranking | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One bookmaker in depth | Many bookmakers side by side |
| Answers | Is this site right for me? | Which sites should I shortlist? |
| Output | Strengths, limits and a score | An order, per game and overall |
How we review: FAQ
What does an esportranker review cover?
Licence and reputation, safety and responsible gambling tools, terms and transparency, bonuses, esports markets, payments, availability by country and customer support.
Can a bookmaker pay for a better review?
No. We earn affiliate commission from some bookmakers, but a review follows the same criteria for every site, and the order of the ranking is not for sale.
Are the odds and margins on your pages live?
Not yet. Until an odds feed is connected, the odds and margins on our pages are example odds, and they are labelled as such.
How often are reviews updated?
When something material changes: a licence, the payment methods, the welcome offer or its terms. The date on each review shows the last update.
