The Oracle

A transparent Trust Score for every bookmaker we cover — computed only from checkable facts: the licences a book holds, its payout & banking, its markets and features, and our editorial rating. No opinions for sale, no numbers we can’t show you the working for. See exactly how it’s calculated →

Confidence: Low — on purpose

Every score below is licence-and-feature based. SportsWhizz has not yet run live payout tests and holds no independent complaint-resolution data, so we mark confidence Low for all 12 books and show no measured payout or regulator-verification figures — those stay empty until we’ve actually done the work. This is the honest starting point; here’s how it gets stronger:

  • Live payout tests — we deposit, bet, withdraw and time it. The single biggest lift to confidence.
  • Register checks — verify each licence directly on the regulator’s own public register, with a date.
  • Complaint data — gather independent dispute-resolution evidence over time, so the score reflects how a book treats winners.

Highest computed Trust Score today: YesPlay at 74/100. Why:
✓ Strong national regulator: South Africa (WCGRB) ⚠ Publishes 1–3 day payouts; fiat-only banking Caveat — Licence-and-feature based — no live payout test or complaint data yet, so treat as a starting point, not a guarantee.

How every score is built

The same four weighted factors, out of 100, applied identically to every book. Licensing is weighted the heaviest because it’s the strongest checkable signal of whether you’ll be paid and treated fairly.

40
Licensing & regulation

The tier of the strongest licence a book actually holds — top-tier (UKGC/MGA-class), strong national (e.g. South Africa’s WCGRB), mid-tier Curaçao, or weak-oversight (Anjouan-class). Weighted the heaviest.

30
Editorial reliability rating

Our hands-on 0–5 rating of the book, scaled to 30. Reflects how reliable and fair the experience is in our testing.

18
Payout & banking

The published payout speed and the resilience of the payment mix (crypto + fiat vs a single rail). Faster, more flexible cash-out scores higher.

12
Markets & features

Market breadth, plus live streaming and cash-out — operational maturity, weighted lightest.

We only show locally-licensed operators to visitors in your region.

This is a regulated market, so we only advertise operators that hold a local licence here. The bookmakers we review are licensed elsewhere, and we won't promote them to you — so you'll see no betting offers on this page. Our reviews, licence checks and guides stay available — we've removed the advertising, not the information. 18+ · Support and safer-gambling tools.
