1xBet is one of the largest sportsbooks in the world by sheer market and event coverage, but its licensing history and a long list of regulatory bans (UK, US, Russia, France, Spain) and unresolved player complaints mean it's a materially higher-risk choice than a UKGC- or MGA-licensed operator. Its Trustpilot rating has been suspended for a guidelines breach.

Every betting site on this page carries an AskBigBonus Trust Index score — the same framework we use across every operator we cover, not a separate scoring system for sportsbooks specifically. You'll see each score on the operator's card and in the comparison table.
Each betting site is evaluated across seven areas: licensing and regulatory standing, account and payment security, how clearly the operator discloses its terms, the strength of its responsible-gambling tools, how reliable its payment methods and withdrawal times actually are, whether its bonus terms are fair and clearly stated, and the overall quality of its website and mobile experience.
The order of this list is an editorial decision, not a straight sort of those scores. Our editors decide which sportsbooks to shortlist and in what order, using the Trust Index as the main input alongside judgment about who we'd actually recommend first — which is why a betting site with a slightly lower score can sit above a higher-scoring one. Per-country and per-category pages work differently: those are sorted directly, either by our editors' rating for that specific category and market, or by the specific measured figure the page is about, such as withdrawal speed.
What never moves an operator up a list is money. Operators here may have a commercial relationship with AskBigBonus — an affiliate partnership, an exclusive bonus code, or both — and that relationship is disclosed, but it doesn't buy position. See our full methodology for the complete scoring breakdown.
There's no single "best" betting site — the right one depends on where you live, which sports and markets you actually bet on, and how you plan to deposit and withdraw. A few things worth checking before you sign up:
Licensing. Confirm the sportsbook holds a real gambling license for the market you're in, not just a generic offshore license that may not actually authorize service to your country. Our country pages list which licenses are recognized where you live.
Market and sport coverage. A sportsbook can look strong overall and still have thin coverage of the specific league or sport you follow. Check the actual markets, not just the homepage.
Payment methods. Look for deposit and withdrawal methods you'd actually use, and check whether the operator publishes real withdrawal times rather than a vague "1–3 business days" promise. See our payment methods hub for what each sportsbook supports.
Bonus terms. A large headline bonus number means little if the wagering requirement is unreasonable or key markets don't count toward it. Read the bonus terms, not just the percentage, before you claim anything — our wagering requirements guide explains how to do that math.
Responsible gambling tools. Deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks should be easy to find and easy to use, not buried in a settings menu.
A licensed, well-run sportsbook is generally safe to use, but "betting site" covers an extremely wide range of operators — from established, regulated brands to sites with no real oversight at all. Licensing is the starting point: a sportsbook regulated by an authority that actually enforces its rules has real consequences if it treats players unfairly, unlike one that exists mainly to issue licenses cheaply.
Beyond licensing, the signals we weigh in our own Trust Index are the same ones worth checking yourself: how the sportsbook handles player funds, whether it publishes clear terms rather than vague ones, its actual track record on withdrawals, and whether it offers meaningful responsible-gambling controls. No scoring system — ours included — can guarantee an individual outcome with any operator. If something goes wrong, we review reported issues at no additional cost; see how to report a problem.
There's no single best betting site for everyone — the right choice depends on your country's licensing rules, which payment methods you use, and which sports and markets you actually bet on. Our ranking above orders the sportsbooks we track by AskBigBonus Trust Index score, but check the licensing, payment, and market details against your own situation before picking one.
By Trust Index score — a weighted evaluation covering licensing, payment reliability, withdrawal speed, transparency, bonus fairness, responsible gambling tools, and website/mobile quality, computed the same way for every operator we cover. Operators with a commercial relationship with us are disclosed, but that relationship doesn't affect ranking position. See our full methodology for the complete scoring breakdown.
It's our scoring system for evaluating gambling operators, built from real, checkable data rather than marketing claims — licensing status, payment and withdrawal reliability, how transparent an operator's terms are, bonus fairness, responsible gambling tools, and site/mobile quality, combined into one weighted score out of 10. It's the same framework used across every ranking on this site. Full detail on the weighting is on our methodology page.
A licensed, well-run sportsbook is generally safe to use, but the category covers a wide range of operators — from established, regulated brands to sites with little real oversight. Licensing is the starting point: a sportsbook regulated by an authority that actually enforces its rules carries real consequences for treating players unfairly. Beyond that, check payment reliability, clear bonus terms, and whether responsible gambling tools are genuinely available.
Look for the specific issuing authority and license number, usually disclosed in the sportsbook's footer or terms page, then verify it against that regulator's own public register where one exists. Our guide to gambling licenses covers what to look for and how different regulators compare.
Several operators in our ranking support cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals — check the payment methods listed on each sportsbook's own card above, or see our dedicated Best Crypto Betting Sites ranking. Individual coin support varies by operator — see our payment methods hub for the full breakdown.
The headline percentage matters less than the terms behind it: the wagering requirement, the minimum deposit needed to qualify, how long you have before it expires, and which markets actually count toward clearing it. See our wagering requirements guide for how to compare offers properly.
It's the multiplier on a bonus amount you need to bet before you can withdraw any winnings from it — a 20x wagering requirement on a $50 bonus means placing $1,000 in total bets first. Requirements vary widely between operators and often apply differently across bet types. Our full wagering requirements guide walks through how to calculate real bonus value.
