    The rounds use the same five scores as our ratings. The prices round uses only the 139 markets both priced in full over the last 30 days, across 139 matches, so it is like for like. Exchange prices are counted after the exchange's own commission. Your fit puts half the weight on what you said matters most. How we rate

    How a duel is scored
    Five rounds
    One for each area in our ratings: prices, trust and safety, markets, payments, and app and tools. The higher score takes the round. If we could not score one bookmaker, nobody is handed it.
    Prices, like for like
    Only markets both bookmakers priced in full over the last 30 days count, so neither gains from pricing easier matches. We need 20 shared markets before we call it this way.
    The verdict
    The five scores are weighted as in our ratings. Tell us what matters most and half the weight moves there. Rounds won only settle it when the weighted scores are level.
    What it is not
    Not advice, and not a promise of better results. A better price changes what a winning bet pays, not how often you win. What a bookmaker pays us plays no part.

    This is a guide, not advice. Scores are editorial opinions from published terms, regulator records, app store listings and our own price data. Check the bookmaker's site before you sign up, and only bet what you can afford to lose.
