How we calculate

A source-weighted consumer-signal score from dated records, complaints, reported experiences, and measured facts. Not a star average and not a quality score. It does not reproduce full reviews; reported experience is not a finding of misconduct. Full methodology.

How this ranking works

Each sportsbooks brand's score combines four blocks: regulatory standing, user-experience signals from public reviews, cross-source consistency, and measured product metrics.

The ranking is market-relative within Australia — every brand is scored against the other licensed sportsbooks in this cell, not on an absolute scale.

The full formula and current weights are published under methodology v2.1.

There are 4 licensed sportsbooks operating in Australia. IndexFair ranks them by a published composite score (methodology v2.1) — no editorial promotion, and brands cannot pay to change their score — drawn from 39,036 verified signals. Operators without enough verified signal are listed without a published score rather than shown a low-confidence number.

How IndexFair scores brands in this market

Each sportsbook's score combines four blocks: regulatory standing (the licence and the regulator's record), user-experience signals aggregated from public reviews, cross-source consistency, and measured product metrics read from the live product. The blocks carry published weights set by the methodology and recorded at /methodology.

Scores are market-relative — every sportsbook is ranked against the other licensed Australia sportsbooks rather than on an absolute scale. Before scoring, 2,263 signals were filtered as spam or low quality. Scores recompute on a schedule and when new review data lands; each brand card carries its own last-updated time.
