How We Rate and Review Sportsbook and Casino Operators at Wetten US

Last Updated on 03/15/2026

Here at Wetten US, we want you to know that when we review an operator, we look for all the same things you would – so we’ve given you a breakdown on everything we report on.

Here is an overview of what we examine when we carry out our objective and in-depth reviews of all of the legitimate sportsbooks operating in your state. We report back on all of these key areas, so you can make the best choice when it comes to finding the right operator for you.

Licensing, security and verification
Safety – checking the security

The first thing we check is that the sportsbook or online casino we are reviewing is licensed to operate in your state and completely safe to use. Online security is #1 on our list of priorities so we make sure there are no half measures or corners being cut. To confirm this, we’ll take a look at what the operator has done in the past to make sure there are no skeletons in the closet.

That done, we’ll check out the security measures the operator has to keep you safe. We’ll report back on the level of encryption technology that is in place to protect your financial transactions and any of the personal and financial data that you are trusting the operator with, so you know you are as safe from online fraud as you can be.

We’ll also check that the verification process is robust enough, and that the sportsbook and casino operators are keeping to all of the data privacy regulations.

Games, betting markets and software
Variety – a good range of betting markets and games

We’ll also take a look at the choice you have once you’re on the inside. This might be the range of slots on offer and the number of table games, or if the range of sports markets covers all of the bases you would expect. We’ll also check what’s on offer, so you can be confident that the quality is there as well as the quantity.

While we’re there we’ll also look at the tech that drives your casino and sportsbook experience, and that it can do the job it needs to. Some of the bigger names will have their own specialist tech developed, while others will use white label software that they add their own personalized touches to. Whatever they use, we ensure it makes the grade and we report back our findings.

BONUSES – WELCOME BONUSES AND VIP PROMOTIONS
Finding those big bonuses and promotions

Welcome bonuses are there to attract your attention, and tempt you with large offers, but we delve beneath the headlines to see if it really is worth your efforts.

We’ll check out the small print and point out anything that might be a dealbreaker. We’ll then do our own reality test to see what happens when you try the bonus for real.

BANKING – DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWALS
Getting a good range of payment options

Legitimate operators should have no problem offering a range of options to customers, whether they prefer card payments, ewallets or funding from their own bank account.

We also check out the timescales involved, as that can be more important, especially when it comes to withdrawals.
