About reviews.bet

An independent guide to online bookmakers for players in South Asia and Africa. We test with real accounts, show real terms, and say clearly what is and is not licensed where you live.

What reviews.bet is

reviews.bet is a comparison and review site for online bookmakers. We test betting sites the way a careful player would, with a real account, real deposits and real withdrawals, and publish what we find: the licence, the true value of the welcome offer, the local payment methods that work, and the problems other players report.

We currently review 10 bookmakers and cover 10 countries: Bangladesh, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania. Prices and bonus amounts are shown in your local currency.

We are not a bookmaker. You cannot place a bet on this site, and we never hold your money.

Why we focus on South Asia and Africa

Most betting review sites are written for Europe. The bookmakers that actually serve players in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria or Kenya, the payment methods those players use, and the legal position in each country are very different, and rarely explained honestly.

We write for that reader. That means testing UPI, bKash, M-Pesa and Opay rather than only Visa and PayPal, checking whether an app installs on a mid-range Android phone, and saying plainly when a bookmaker is not licensed where you live.

How the site makes money

When you open an account with a bookmaker through a link on reviews.bet, that bookmaker may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing and does not change the offer you receive.

Commission never changes a score. Rankings are ordered by our published scoring method, bookmakers without an affiliate programme are reviewed in exactly the same way, and the editor who tests a bookmaker is kept apart from commercial discussions. The full rules are on the How We Review page.

Outbound links are marked as sponsored for search engines and pass through our own server so we can count clicks. We do not add tracking to the bookmaker's link or share personal data with bookmakers.

Who writes the reviews

Reviews are written by a small editorial team, each covering an area they know well:

  • Daniel Hartley

    Senior Betting Editor

    Covers sportsbook odds, margins and market depth, with a focus on European football.

  • Priya Nair

    Payments & Safety Analyst

    Tests deposits, withdrawals and verification flows, and tracks licensing changes.

  • Marcus Oyelaran

    Bonuses & Apps Reviewer

    Reads the small print on welcome offers and reviews mobile betting apps.

Every review names its author and the date it was last tested.

Our position on responsible gambling

Betting should be entertainment paid for with money you can afford to lose. We only present bookmakers to adults, we describe the risks of offshore sites as well as their features, and every page links to our responsible gambling resources, including how to set limits and where to get help.

If online betting is illegal where you live, our country page says so. We do not encourage anyone to break the law.

Contact

Wrong fact, broken link, a bookmaker that changed its terms, or a partnership enquiry: use the contact form or email contact@reviews.bet. Corrections are handled within a few days and noted in the review.
