How we read a market

One Legend, Applied to Every Country

We classify online betting on a four-status scale — the same key, every page. When the law is unsettled or we can’t verify it, we say so rather than guess.

Regulated
Licensed and overseen by a named regulator. Legal, with consumer protections.
Tolerated
Permitted in practice or via offshore access, without a full domestic framework.
Grey market
No specific law for or against — operating in a legal vacuum.
Prohibited
Banned under current law. We label it plainly and never link operators.

Malta’s Page Now Lists Seven Licensed Books

Three more operators joined the Malta list this week — NetBet, Betano and Meridianbet — each verified on the Malta Gaming Authority’s own Dynamic Seal of Authorisation, which shows a current licence carrying the Type 2 fixed-odds class and names the website it covers. They join 888sport, bet365, bwin and William Hill.

Romania Lists Six, From the ONJN Register

The Romania page went from listing nothing to listing six operators, each matched to a licence on the Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc register by company and by Romanian domain. Two brands on the regulator’s blacklist are deliberately excluded and always will be.

Czechia Lists Five Czech-Licensed Books

Czechia’s five listings come from the Ministry of Finance whitelist of operators licensed under Act No. 186/2016. Each is the Czech licensed company on the Czech domain the register names, which is a different entity from the same brand’s Slovak business.

Denmark Lists Four, Betano the Newest

Betano joined the Denmark list, licensed by Spillemyndigheden as Insipia Limited for betano.dk. The Danish register publishes no licence numbers, so each listing rests on the register row naming the company and its licensed domain under a betting permission.

What we cover

Three Ways to Bet

Thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing, plus the advance-deposit wagering sites and racebooks that cover them.

Prediction Markets

Event contracts and regulated prediction platforms — where they’re legal, where they’re contested, and who runs them.

How We Verify

Meet the team →
  1. Sourced From Regulators

    Legal status, licences and tax come from regulators and official gazettes first, and operators’ own terms second — never from other review sites.

  2. Every Change Cited

    Each updated fact carries its source and the exact supporting quote. Claims we can’t verify are removed, not guessed.

  3. Independently Reviewed

    A separate reviewer re-checks each edit against its source before it goes live.
