Betting sites & exchanges
An offer is only as good as the bookmaker that stands behind it, so the first filter is the licence and not the size of the headline. This section applies that filter before any comparison.
Exchanges, which hold the betting intermediary licence, sit beside newer bookmakers, independent firms, spread betting platforms and the so-called high-limit and no-limit sites. Rankings and tables for each type are left to separate articles.
Anyone can search the Gambling Commission’s public register, and a .com address, which licensed firms use too, settles nothing. Maximum stakes in sports betting are set by each operator, since no statutory cap is established.
