Methodology - How We Research and Rank

Data first, prose second

Every book entry is a structured fact set: crypto support (coins + Lightning), esports depth and title list, bet types, KYC type, VPN policy, registration model, withdrawal speed, limits, bonuses, wagering, sampled odds margin, reputation notes and sources with dates. Reviews are AI-drafted from that fact set only - the model may not invent numbers, limits or history. Drafts are fact-checked against the database before publication, and every fact row carries a verification date.

Where facts come from

Operator pages fetched live: deposit and withdrawal documentation, terms of use, fee tables, fairness pages and license registers where reachable. Independent leads from community directories and review roundups (CryptoSlate, LCB) are marked as leads - never treated as proof. Watchdog research and community threads cover complaint patterns and operator history - astroturfed praise is discounted deliberately; organic complaint threads and negative signals carry the weight. Quality is flagged per book: verified, reported or unverified. Unverified facts are labeled in reviews, never presented as confirmed.

Scoring

Editorial scores (0-10) are weighted: esports depth 22%, odds value 16%, crypto & payouts 16%, privacy & KYC 12%, trust 18%, bonus 8%, UX 8%. Minimal-coverage books are scored within their own lane - a two-title book cannot "lose" for market count against an esports-first giant; it is rated on what it is. User ratings are shown separately, smoothed with a statistical prior, and never mixed into editorial scores.

Freshness

Availability of coin support changes fast. We run daily reachability checks on every listed domain and regenerate reviews on a weekly cycle (plus on-demand whenever facts change). Every review shows its version, generation date and fact-verification date.

Independence

Commercial relationships never influence scores, ranks or scam listings. Operators can submit factual corrections with sources via contact; we verify and correct within 7 days. We do not remove scam or dead listings in exchange for anything.
