Editorial Policy
How we work, and how we make money
FIFA World Cup Betting is independently run. We exist because betting decisions have real money consequences, and most online “reviews” are just affiliate marketing dressed up in editorial drag. We do this differently.
Our 47-point checklist
Every bookmaker we recommend is scored against 47 criteria covering licensing, bonus fairness, withdrawal speed, live-betting depth, cash-out mechanics, customer support responsiveness, mobile-app reliability, and responsible-gambling tools. Operators below 8.5/10 don’t make our list — and yes, that means we turn down commission opportunities every month.
How we test
We sign up at every bookmaker we review using our editorial team’s real names and addresses. We deposit real money, place real bets, withdraw real winnings, and time every step. We log support response times across phone, chat, and email. We test mobile apps on both iOS and Android. The whole process takes 30+ hours per operator.
How we make money
Affiliate commissions. When a reader signs up at a sportsbook through our link and makes a qualifying deposit, we receive a one-time referral fee. We never accept payment for placement, ranking, or favourable coverage. Operators occasionally try to negotiate; we always decline.
How often we update
Every two weeks, minimum. Every casino review is re-scored against the checklist. If an operator drops below 8.5, it comes off the list. New operators are added when they pass.
Sponsored content
Some pages display “Sponsored” cards. These are clearly marked and the operators have paid us for premium placement. They are not the same as our top-10 ranking — sponsored placement is independent of editorial ranking. The link rel attribute on every sponsored link is rel="sponsored", complying with FTC and Google guidelines.
Mistakes
If we get something wrong, we fix it. If you spot an error, email editor@fifaworldcupbetting.com and we’ll correct it within 24 hours.
Responsible gambling
We promote responsible gambling on every page. If you’re worried about your own or someone else’s gambling, please visit BeGambleAware.org or call 1-800-GAMBLER (USA) for free, confidential help.
