The test sheet
Every operator, read 6 ways
Each reading runs from 0 to 10 and comes from what the operator lists: its bonus terms, cashier, licences and history, plus our own lab grade.

Method
How the sheet scores
Weights add up to 100. When a reading is n/m, the others stretch to fill its share.
- R1
Lab grade
30%The lab's overall grade for the operator, set on the sheet's 0 to 10 line in half steps. It carries the largest share of the verdict.
Where the sheet lands
2 at 7, 9 at 8, 9 at 9
- R2
Fine print
15%We count the concrete terms in the operator's bonus wording, such as a minimum deposit, a wagering multiple or a time limit. More stated terms, higher reading. An offer that says there is no welcome bonus scores 8.
Where the sheet lands
1 at 2, 5 at 5, 4 at 6, 5 at 7, 4 at 8, 1 at 10
- R3
Cashier range
15%We count the payment methods the operator lists and how many families they cover: cards, e-wallets, bank transfer and crypto. A wider cashier reads higher.
Where the sheet lands
4 at 6, 3 at 7, 7 at 8, 5 at 9, 1 at 10
- R4
Licence file
15%We read the licences on file. Strict regulators such as the UKGC or a US state lift the reading most, a second licence adds a little more, and an offshore-only licence adds almost nothing.
Where the sheet lands
8 at 5, 5 at 7, 4 at 8, 2 at 9, 1 at 10
- R5
Service life
15%Years in operation since the founding year the operator lists. A longer service life reads higher, up to 10.
Where the sheet lands
4 at 6, 5 at 7, 2 at 8, 1 at 9, 8 at 10
- R6
Entry point
10%The lowest deposit in a fiat currency or a dollar stablecoin. The lower it sits, the higher the reading. No listed minimum means the reading is not measured.
