Review Methodology

Every sportsbook review on TrueEdge Wire is built the same way, so a 7.9 means the same thing on every page. This document is the contract behind the number.

What we score

Up to eleven categories, each 0–10:

• Odds & pricing
• Market selection
• Live betting
• User experience
• App quality
• Deposits
• Withdrawals
• Promotions
• Rewards
• Customer support
• Reliability

The overall rating is the average of the categories we scored — it is computed from them, never typed in separately. A book we have not evaluated shows Not yet rated, not a guess.

How claims are labeled

Our review system stores an evidence ledger with typed entries, and the type controls the language a review may use:

• First-hand testing — we did the thing, and the entry carries the date. Reviews only say “we deposited / we withdrew / we timed” when such an entry exists.
• Independently verified facts — checked against primary sources.
• Operator-provided information — the book's own claims, labeled as such.
• Editorial opinion — judgment, argued openly.
• Third-party reporting — attributed.

Odds-quality assessment draws on TrueEdge's market data — pricing compared across books on identical markets — which is the one place our corporate parentage makes the reviews better rather than compromised.

Freshness

Reviews display a last tested date and operator facts carry a last verified date. Our system flags stale reviews, expired promotions and outdated availability to the newsroom automatically.

What money cannot buy

Most books we review pay us commissions for referred customers. The commercial team does not see ratings before publication, cannot change a score, and cannot remove a criticism. When a book is weak at something, the review says so — that sentence is the product.
