Betting sites & exchanges
A trusted bookmaker is one whose licence can be found and read, not one that ranks high. This section applies that test to betting sites and exchanges.
Best, new and independent bookmakers are covered, together with exchanges (licensed as betting intermediaries), spread betting platforms, and high-limit and no-limit sites. Comparison tables sit in separate articles.
The Gambling Commission’s public register is where a licence is confirmed. Licensed operators use .com addresses, so an address proves nothing. No statutory cap on stakes in sports betting is established; each operator sets its own maximum.
