How BetfyScore Works

We don’t guess — we aggregate. BetfyScore is built on real user experiences and public data, turned into a transparent ranking algorithm.

1

Aggregate Reviews

We collect real user reviews from Trustpilot, App Store, Google Play, and other platforms to understand actual punter experiences.

2

Collect Public Data

We pull from the UKGC public register, bonus terms, deposit limits, withdrawal speeds, odds, and 50+ verifiable data points per brand.

3

Score & Weight

BetfyScore calculates a weighted average across 10 categories. Trust & safety carry the most weight (20%), user reviews 15%.

4

Rank & Refresh

Rankings update monthly as new reviews come in. Every score change is logged. Regulatory changes trigger immediate re-scoring.

Editorial Standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What are virtual betting sites?
Virtual betting sites offer simulated sporting events that run 24/7 — virtual horse racing, football, greyhounds, and more. Events are generated by random number generators (RNGs) and typically last just a few minutes, offering constant betting opportunities.
Is virtual betting fair?
Yes, virtual sports on UKGC-licensed sites use certified random number generators. Results are completely random and cannot be predicted. The RNG software is regularly tested by independent auditors to ensure fairness.
