Licence and domain gate
The Gambling Commission business register can be searched by business, trading name or domain and records licence status and regulatory actions. Check the exact domain before comparing products. A familiar brand name does not prove that a different domain or app is covered by the same active permission.
This page is limited to Great Britain. Other jurisdictions require their own regulator and licence checks.
Like-for-like test basket
Use one timestamped set of eligible events and record the result without placing a bet:
| Criterion | Evidence to save |
|---|---|
| Combined price | Complete leg list and quote time |
| Market wording | Event, line, period and provider |
| Related legs | Rejected, multiplied or separately priced? |
| Void treatment | Test non-participant, push and abandonment |
| Maximum return | Current product and account limit |
| Export | Full receipt and settlement history available? |
| Withdrawal | Published process and verified-account conditions |
| Safer controls | Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion route |
Betfair's Sportsbook rules and bet365's related-contingency guidance are current product examples, not endorsements. Each operator's accepted rules must be reviewed independently.
Promotions are a separate comparison
Do not rank an operator by a headline token or boost. Gambling Commission LCCP condition 5.1.1 sets current GB requirements for rewards and bonuses, while its consumer guidance highlights restrictions and withdrawal conditions.
Calculate incremental staking, expiry, stake-return rule and cash-equivalent value. Keep ordinary price quality and promotion value in separate columns.
Operational checks
Test account verification, statement access, correction history and complaint instructions before relying on an operator for records. The Gambling Commission complaint guide explains the operator process and ADR route in Great Britain.
Score unknown or unverifiable fields as failures, not neutral values. Record account-specific restrictions because another reader may receive different limits or promotions.

Reconcile one test basket
Use the same three eligible selections and record every quoted price at the same minute. If an operator rejects a leg or returns a separately priced builder, mark the product different rather than comparing its combined price as if it were like for like.
| Comparison state | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Same legs and contract | Compare executable combined prices |
| Related leg rejected | Record product-coverage difference |
| Different market period | Exclude from price comparison |
| Boosted or promotional quote | Separate ordinary and promotional price |
| Stake exceeds account limit | Compare only executable stake or mark unavailable |
| Quote changes before acceptance | Save accepted price, not earlier display |
Run one settlement fixture after the test: a live win, loss, void and player non-participant where the products support them. A slightly higher displayed price does not compensate for an unresolved contract or unavailable receipt history.
Publish the criteria, date and missing fields with any future comparison. Do not turn a one-account test into a universal ranking because account eligibility and limits can differ.

Assumptions and limitations
No operator is ranked or recommended. Licence status, domains, prices, rules, limits and offers can change, so the comparison expires on the stated date.
