How we pick bookmakers for Singapore

What a bookmaker needs to make this list
-
Accepts players from Singapore
A bookmaker is listed for Singapore only if it accepts players from Singapore. The order adapts to what is available there, so it can differ from our worldwide ranking.
-
Licence as listed
Each licence appears exactly as the bookmaker lists it. We only call a bookmaker licensed in Singapore when it lists a licence from Singapore.
-
Local currency and payments
SGD accounts and local methods such as GrabPay, Help2Pay and FavePay count, for withdrawals as well as deposits.
-
Esports coverage

Scores and updates
Our editors score each bookmaker on betting markets and odds coverage, usability, payments, licensing, country access and user feedback, and revisit a score when something material changes, such as a licence or a payment method. The full process is on our How we rank page.
How we are paid
Some bookmakers pay us when a reader signs up through our links. That never decides the order.
