A license is one signal. It isn’t the whole story. That’s the whole site.

Start here

Three signals. One decision.

A green badge is not a shortcut. We read the operator as a pattern of ownership, payout behavior, and terms that hold up when money is involved.

Evidence map

The signals worth checking

No single badge decides the answer. Look for a pattern across independent signals.

Ownership you can identify

82% signal strength

Who is actually responsible for the account, funds, and dispute path?

Withdrawals that resolve predictably

74% signal strength

The question is not only whether people get paid, but whether the process has a clear end point.

Terms that say what the banner implies

58% signal strength

Bonus caps, max bets, KYC, and excluded games are where the attractive headline often changes shape.

This is a reading aid, not a numeric trust score. The site’s verdict still depends on the underlying evidence.

The review desk

Reviewed the same way, every time

We make less money recommending some of these than others. That’s not an accident in the copy.

BetOnline.agWe'd trust it

One of the longest-standing names in the offshore sportsbook space, and the reputation is earned, not just marketed. We'd trust them with a real bankroll.

MyBookie.agWe'd trust it

Younger than the legacy offshore books, built its name on aggressive promotions, and has grown into a genuinely popular option for US bettors. We'd trust them for a normal betting bankroll.

Sportsbook.comWe'd trust it

One of the actual original names in online sports betting — a brand that was taking bets on the internet before most of today's bettors were old enough to place one. We'd trust them.

BetUS.comWe'd trust it

Markets itself as operating since 1994 — if accurate, one of the very first names in this entire industry. Either way, the real-world track record backs up the reputation. We'd trust them.

1win.ioProceed carefully

One of the largest, fastest-growing betting platforms in several international markets — and directly named in regulatory warnings in more than one country for operating there without a local license. Proceed carefully.

The number behind the promise

A bonus is not free money.

The banner tells you what you receive. The wagering clause tells you what you have to do before a withdrawal is even possible.

Bonus math

The banner is not the cost

A 100% match sounds simple. The wagering requirement is where the actual commitment lives.

Cash deposit$50

Bonus$50

40× bonus$2,000

Some terms calculate wagering against the deposit plus bonus, and games may contribute at different rates. Enter the exact clause into a calculator before treating the headline as value.

The signature feature

Fine print, translated.

Every operator uses a version of these clauses. We turn the legal sentence into the practical consequence.

They say

Read before funding

“Maximum bet while a bonus is active: $5.”

Translation

Place one $6 bet by accident while bonus funds are in play, and the operator can void the bonus and everything you won with it. Not a penalty for cheating — a penalty for not noticing.

Why it matters

The limit is usually measured against the stake on one wager, not your average bet. A single oversized bet can put the entire bonus balance at risk.

Player move

Write the limit next to the offer before you play, and ask whether it applies to every game, live bet, and accumulated winnings.

They say

Read before funding

“Winnings from bonus funds capped at 5× the bonus amount.”

Translation

Turn a $50 free bonus into a $2,000 jackpot, and you still walk away with $250. Standard term, disclosed or not — check it before you assume the upside is unlimited.

Why it matters

A rollover can be technically completable while the payout ceiling makes the upside much smaller than the banner suggests.

Player move

Calculate the maximum cashout before opting in. If the cap is not visible in the promotion or terms, treat that as an unanswered question.
