At Tips.GG, we are committed to delivering transparent, honest, and expert-driven reviews of sportsbooks, online casinos, and sweepstakes platforms. This page outlines how we rate gambling sites, what our testing process looks like, and the standards we hold ourselves to. We believe only full transparency can earn players’ trust.
Who We Are and Why It Matters
Tips.GG is part of Netsolid Investments, an international marketing holding company specializing in high-competition verticals like gambling, betting, and finance. Our access to internal data, performance metrics, and deep technical knowledge gives us a unique edge in the review process.
Our team includes:
- Professional bettors and experienced players with years of hands-on expertise
- Analysts focused on UX, payout rates, odds, and game libraries
- Legal experts who vet licenses and terms of service
- QA testers who test the platforms just like real players
How We Test Platforms
We don’t rewrite or recycle content. We test each platform manually from A to Z — from registration and KYC to deposits, real-money betting, customer support chats, withdrawals, and mobile compatibility.
- A minimum of 12 hours spent per platform
- Devices: desktop, mobile, and tablet
- Payment testing: $100–$1,000 real deposits
- Multi-stage review: at least 2 experts + 1 editor review each case
All reviews are updated every 30 days, and twice a year we conduct a full re-review.
Our Rating Methodology
We use a weighted scoring system that varies slightly depending on the platform type (sportsbook, casino, sweepstakes).
| Category | Weight | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| User Experience | 20% | UX, UI design, navigation, mobile optimization, loading speed |
| Features / Game Library | 20% | Betting markets, game diversity, odds, providers |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 15% | Bonus clarity, fairness, variety, and wagering requirements |
| Payments & Payouts | 15% | Deposit methods, limits, KYC, payout speeds |
| Customer Support | 10% | Response time, support channels, quality of help |
| Safety & Licensing | 10% | Regulatory status, SSL encryption, reputation |
| Responsible Gambling | 5% | Self-exclusion, deposit limits, external help links |
| Accessibility | 5% | Visual & physical accessibility, language support |
How to Read Our Scores
We use a 5-point scale (rounded to the nearest tenth). Here’s how to interpret it:
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 4.8 – 5.0 | Top-tier. Best-in-class platforms. Fully recommended. |
| 4.5 – 4.7 | Excellent. A few minor flaws, but an outstanding overall experience. |
| 4.0 – 4.4 | Very Good. Reliable, with some room for improvement. |
| 3.5 – 3.9 | Average. Needs improvements; better alternatives may be available. |
| Below 3.5 | Not Recommended. Issues with safety, fairness, or usability. |
User Reviews & Community Feedback
Since 2024, we've implemented a user rating feature:
- Visitors can give a "👍" or "👎" vote on any reviewed platform

Safety & Licensing
Each operator is evaluated for:

- Any history of breaches, fines, or shady practices
Responsible Gambling Evaluation
We actively verify whether the platforms offer:
- Deposit, loss, and time limits
- Self-exclusion options
- Visible links to support groups (BeGambleAware, GamCare, etc.)
- Clear information on age verification and eligibility
Accessibility and Inclusion
We test how platforms accommodate users with different needs by checking:
- Screen reader compatibility
- Keyboard navigation
- Color contrast and readability
- Language options and localization
Review Updates and Maintenance
We revisit each review monthly to make sure bonus info, site features, and key metrics are still accurate. Twice a year, we restart the full review process to reflect major platform changes.
Any major change (bonus terms, payout issues, KYC policies, etc.) triggers an immediate re-review within 48 hours.
