How We Rank Betting Apps

Gaming Today ranks apps by examining the below set of predetermined factors that have been deemed important to bettors. Staff members involved in the ranking process include experienced researchers, industry analysts, and sports betting experts — all of whom operate at their sole discretion and are not beholden to any outside entity or organization.

Odds: We compare sportsbook odds to help bettors find the best value for their wagers. Sportsbooks balance expected profit and risk differently, so bettors can find better odds on different parts of the line.

Bonuses: Some bettors want to know how many free credits they can get up front. They may stick with a sportsbook that offers a generous welcome bonus in the beginning. We compare the best bonus offers and offer advice on how bettors can make the most of new offers.

Navigation: Reviewing any online sports betting app takes the app itself into account, too. Some apps are easier to navigate than others, which impacts a new bettor’s chance of using it successfully and with ease.
