SportsLedger is an independent publisher of operator reviews and sports analysis for adult readers in regulated European markets. This page explains who we are, how we work and how the site is funded.
Our testing data and review findings have been cited by industry publications and consumer media covering the regulated gambling sector (placeholder citations). We participate in responsible-gambling initiatives in the markets we cover and our analysts appear as commentators on licensing and player-protection topics.
We exist to answer one question honestly: is this operator worth your registration? Everything we publish — reviews, bonus breakdowns, payment tables — is written to inform a decision, never to pressure one. Bonuses are presented with their full conditions, weaknesses are reported as plainly as strengths, and we only cover operators licensed in the reader's market.
The site was founded by a small group of former sportsbook odds compilers and gambling-industry journalists who were frustrated by review sites that simply reworded operator marketing. The founding rule still applies: nothing is published about an operator that the reviewing analyst has not personally verified on a real, funded account.
Reviews and analysis are produced by a team of named analysts organised into sport and operator panels, led by an editor-in-chief who signs off every published score. Each analyst has a public profile listing their background and recent work.
Meet the full team of analysts
Operator scores come from a weighted, documented methodology: real accounts, real deposits, at least one completed withdrawal and a sixty-plus point checklist, all described on our how we rate page. Rankings on listing pages follow the scores — partners cannot buy a position, and the same checklist applies to operators we have no commercial relationship with.
The site is operated by [Operating Company Placeholder Ltd.], registered in [jurisdiction placeholder]. It is funded by affiliate commissions; analysts are paid salaries and never per-signup. Operators do not see reviews before publication and cannot request changes to scores. Full corporate and funding details are on our ownership & transparency page.
We are a review publisher, not an operator, but our pages link to gambling sites — so every page carrying an operator link also carries 18+ markup and a route to responsible-gambling support. We never use urgency language, we publish wagering requirements next to every bonus mention, and we maintain a dedicated responsible gambling resource page.
Gambling is adult entertainment with real risk. If it stops being fun, free and confidential help is available. [Responsible-gambling helpline placeholder for target jurisdiction]
