How to Get the Most Value From Our Bookmaker List
We recommend opening accounts in the exact order shown above. Our ranking takes into account signup bonuses, betting limits, odds quality, and how easy each site is to deal with.
Tip 1: Use the Beginner Friendly Filter First
If you are new to value betting or matched betting, check the “Beginner Friendly” box before you do anything else. This narrows the list to sportsbooks that are:
- Reputable – long-standing brands with few payment disputes.
- Low-Hurdle Bonuses – signup offers that can be cleared with modest turnover requirements.
- Simple KYC – straightforward identity checks that rarely delay withdrawals.
Work through these sites first; they provide a gentle learning curve and allow you to build a bankroll without unnecessary friction.
Tip 2: Understand the Two Crypto Flags
We use two separate columns to describe a bookmaker’s cryptocurrency support:
- Crypto – You can deposit and withdraw with Bitcoin, USDT, or other coins, but your account balance is converted back to a fiat currency such as USD or EUR.
- Crypto Balance – Your entire wallet stays in crypto. Odds, limits, and payouts are shown directly in Bitcoin, ETH, etc. This is ideal if you want to keep exposure in crypto or move funds quickly between different betting exchanges.
Tip 3: Withdrawals Before KYC
The “Withdraw Before KYC” checkbox filters for bookmakers that allow sizeable cash-outs before any identity documentation is requested. In some cases you only need a verified email address.
Why this matters:
- Faster access to profits, especially helpful for arbing or bonus hunting.
- Ability to reopen a fresh account later using a different device, IP address, and email (never reuse the same details).
- Reduced risk of funds being locked during lengthy KYC reviews.
Responsible Usage Reminder
Creating multiple accounts or avoiding KYC may violate a bookmaker’s terms of service. Always read the rules carefully, use separate IP addresses, and never misrepresent your identity. Our table is for informational purposes only.
Sportsbet is known for linking clients by using chain-analytics. Be careful if your friends also play there, and you have crypto transactions between each other. Your accounts may end up being linked and closed.
