Methodology FAQ
How is Betfair rated?
Betfair’s overall IndexFair score is 5.3/10 — better than 99% of Australia sports betting brands. It is computed by the published formula — methodology v2.1. The evidence base on this page gives the collected and used counts and their scope.
How fast does Betfair pay out?
No operator-stated processing window is available in this answer for Betfair in Australia (methodology v2.1). On payout-related evidence, Betfair's overall-aligned public aspect projection is 5.0/10 (−0.2 vs overall), supported by 1,498 signals. Withdrawal-delay complaint totals are not available in this answer.
What are Betfair's weak points?
Betfair's lowest overall-aligned public aspect projection is Responsible gambling at 4.8/10 (−0.5 vs overall), supported by 46 signals. This is a counterfactual published score with the other blocks and market ruler held fixed, so it can differ from the overall score. The full breakdown is in the score section above.
Why are some scores low but the brand is still licensed?
A market regulator licence reflects regulatory standing — the operator meets statutory and conduct requirements. The IndexFair score additionally aggregates recorded review, complaint and operator-response signals. A licensed brand can hold a low composite when those measured signals are weaker without amounting to a regulatory sanction. The methodology page details the per-block weights.
Where does Betfair's score come from?
The Sources section on this page lists the recorded sources for Betfair and their contribution counts. These counts describe their own evidence scope; they are not an additional total for the overall score.
How often is Betfair's score updated?
Scores recompute automatically whenever new review data, a licence-status change, or a methodology update arrives — typically within a few minutes, not on a daily schedule. Every brand card displays the 'last recomputed' timestamp. Methodology version changes are dated at /changelog.
What is the confidence interval?
The ±0.x bracket alongside a score is a 95% confidence interval derived from sample variance and effective sample size after time-decay. A score of 8.4 ± 0.3 reads as: 95% confidence that the true value lies in 8.1–8.7 given current evidence. Wider intervals indicate small samples or high source divergence between aggregators, not lower brand quality.
Can I trust this if it's automated?
The composite score is computed by a published formula, not editorial judgement — so the same inputs always produce the same output, and the formula is auditable. Methodology versions are append-only at /changelog with effective dates. Disputes route through /privacy/contact; the founder reviews factual disputes (licence status, regulator data). Aggregate review sentiment is not editable on a per-brand basis per source ToS.
