How we pick and order the list

What we record for every site

Each of the 28 sites we list gets the same four fields, taken from the operator's published promotion terms rather than from a homepage banner:

• Minimum deposit — what you must pay in to trigger the offer, if anything.
• Wagering — the multiple, and what it applies to.
• Cap — any limit on the win, or on how much bonus money can become withdrawable cash.
• Date checked — shown on every card, because offers move.

If the operator has not published a figure, we leave it blank and print "See site". We do not fill the gap with a plausible number.

The order, in full

1. Offers whose spin winnings are paid in cash come first. A 0x line on the spins means there is no wagering, no weighting table and no conversion cap between you and a withdrawal. It is the cleanest term in this market and it is rare.
2. No deposit offers come next, with their conversion cap printed. Nothing of yours is at risk, which makes them worth knowing about even though they are small.
3. Straight match bonuses follow. The value is knowable before you claim, which puts them ahead of anything decided by a wheel.
4. Prize-wheel offers sit lower. "Up to 500 free spins" is a ceiling produced by a wheel, and the per-batch win cap usually matters more than the number.
5. Sites with a missing wagering figure or cap sit lower still. The gap is real information and it should cost them position.
6. Sites with no published welcome offer stay on the list at the bottom. We do not write a bonus for a site that is not advertising one.

Within a tier, we keep the order stable rather than reshuffling for the sake of it. You can see the result on the full comparison table.

What we check before a site is listed at all

• It holds a Gambling Commission licence covering the activity it offers, confirmed on the public register rather than from the site's own footer.
• The domain we link to appears on that licence.
• The offer we print is stated in the operator's published terms.
• It is not marketed to people who have self-excluded.

Sites that fail any of these are removed, including ones we were being paid to promote. Our about page explains why we treat that as non-negotiable.

One operator, many brands

Most of the sites here are not independent businesses. Twenty-four run on the Jumpman Gaming licence and four are operated by Betway Limited. Sister sites share games, cashier and support, so the welcome offer is often the only genuine difference between them.

We name the operator on every review so you can see which sites are relatives, and our guide to sister sites explains what it means before you open a second account.

Featured this month

Featured this month is a separate strip at the top of the homepage, currently BetNeptune, AceLucky, LekkerBets and AfricaSports. Those four are not part of the ranked order on this page. Their welcome is printed as a massive welcome bonus and free spins, without invented amounts, and their reviews send you to the live terms on the official site. The ranked list underneath is unchanged.

What we will not do

• Move a site up the list for commission.
• Invent a welcome offer, a figure or a licence number.
• Print a headline without the significant terms beside it.
• Give star ratings, which suggest a precision that reading bonus terms does not support.
• Print a raw affiliate link in the page, the structured data or the sitemap.
• Hide the 18+ rule or the safer gambling information.

When we get it wrong

Offers change without notice and we re-check them on a schedule rather than continuously. If something here does not match what a site is actually offering, tell us on our contact page and we will correct it or take it down.
