Standings and head-to-head: compare sportsbooks on published criteria
Review Standings compares sportsbooks with one fixed method. Registration in your province is a gate: a brand that fails it is not scored there. Brands that pass are scored on six documented criteria with published weights, version 1.0. Head-to-head pages put two brands side by side on the same list of criteria, and rows that match are marked as the same.

The six weighted criteria
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Responsible-gambling tools | 25 |
| Payments | 20 |
| Rules by sport | 20 |
| Breadth of markets | 15 |
| App and access | 10 |
| Agreement among reviews | 10 |
Takeaway: the weights add up to 100, and each criterion counts only items we could document. Scores are our opinion, calculated from published weights, not a guarantee of results.
Gate, order and ties
- Registration, checked on a stated date in the regulator's list, is a gate and carries no points.
- Order follows the score; ties are settled alphabetically.
- Order never follows commission.
- Odds are not compared. We do not publish them.
Two-brand pages repeat the same criteria so a reader can see where brands match. Brands in play: bet365, FanDuel, BetMGM and DraftKings, each a candidate until its registry entry is confirmed.
Where the scores stand
| Brand (candidate) | Registration confirmed | Score |

| bet365 | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 | Not published |
| BetMGM | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 | Not published |
| DraftKings | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 | Not published |
| FanDuel | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 | Not published |
Why the order differs from a review site's list is covered on the reviews page. The operators we cover are on the operator index.

FAQ
How is the standings score different from a review site's list?
A review list reflects that site's own weighting. Our score counts only documented items with fixed weights, and we publish the weights, the formula and the date of each recalculation.
Does commission change the order of a table?
No. Tables follow the published criteria, with alphabetical order for ties. Operators without any commercial link are scored by the same script as every other operator.
Why is a brand not scored yet?
A score needs its operator's documented items read and dated. Until then the brand shows 'Not published' for the score, and registration is shown separately.
