How We Rate
What a MyWager rating is
A MyWager rating is our own editorial opinion of an operator or a game, scored out of 5. It is not a customer review score or an average of ratings from players, and it is not a statement about any current offer: always check the operator's terms.

Weighting
The categories carry no fixed weights, and the overall rating is not calculated from them by a formula. We set the overall rating by hand as our overall judgement of the brand, alongside the category scores shown on its review.
Review dates
Scores are set by MyWager and stored with each review. "Last reviewed" is the date the scores were last set. It changes only when we update the review.
How we make money
MyWager may receive compensation when you click on links and sign up with our partner sportsbooks, casinos, and sweepstakes sites. That compensation can affect which offers appear on MyWager and where they are placed. We only list operators that are licensed, or legally operating as sweepstakes, in your state.
