How We Rate Non GamStop Betting Sites

Every sportsbook on Evil Empire is scored the same way, with our own money and a fixed set of checks. The size of a welcome offer never buys a place in our lineup. Odds and payout reliability do.

Our five criteria

• Odds & value (25%): we compare prices against the market across football, tennis and more.
• Payout speed & reliability (25%): we deposit, bet and withdraw, timing the cash-out from request to money received.
• Markets & in-play (20%): market depth, player props, accumulator support and a fast in-play engine with cash-out.
• Safety & licensing (20%): we confirm each licence on the regulator's register and record ownership and any public disputes.
• Bonus fairness & experience (10%): rollover, minimum odds and max stake, plus sign-up, mobile and support.

Why odds and payouts lead

Over a season, the price you take and whether the book actually pays decide your results far more than any welcome offer. That is why they carry the most weight and why we test both ourselves rather than trusting the homepage.

When a site drops

Short prices, slow or blocked withdrawals, buried terms or poor treatment of bettors will drop a book regardless of its bonus. Ratings are reviewed as odds and terms change.
