How to read this score

Evidence index, not a quality score — comparable only within UK sportsbook (same category, jurisdiction & methodology major version). The number summarizes what independent evidence shows, weighted and filtered by a fixed method; it does not grade taste, value or experience beyond what the evidence measures.

15.7/10 summarizes licence records, user signals and measured operations.
2Compare only within UK sportsbook — other countries and categories use different scales.
3The range 5.36.1 shows how far the score may move as evidence grows.

This number is an overall-aligned projection, not a standalone quality rating for this aspect. It shows the published cell score if all user-experience evidence matched this aspect while the other blocks and the market ruler stayed fixed. A same-aspect comparison between brands still embeds each brand’s other blocks; the evidence tier drives the order of aspect-sorted lists, not this projected number.

Source categories — what feeds this score

Why this matters: Single-source review sites read very differently from the composite. Selection bias — only the loudest users self-report — is reduced here by aggregating across several sources. The category breakdown below shows the current mix and contribution without naming individual platforms. Methodology v2.1.

Current cell: 8 sources across 4 categories.

Clusters are counted signals, not a legal finding. A cluster reflects how often a theme recurs in public review text — it is not an adjudicated complaint, an allegation upheld, or proof of wrongdoing.

Rising, steady and easing describe changes in counted mentions during the displayed evidence window. They are not findings or predictions.

Methodology FAQ

How is Sky Bet rated?

Sky Bet's overall IndexFair score is 5.7/10 — better than 59% of the United Kingdom sportsbook brands. It is computed from 17,398 signals across 8 sources (930 filtered as spam or low-quality), by a published formula — methodology v2.1.

Is Sky Bet licensed in the United Kingdom?

Sky Bet operates under a licence in the United Kingdom (current licence status on record: active). A licence reflects regulatory standing only — the IndexFair score adds user-experience and operational signals on top, so a licensed brand can still hold a low score.

How fast does Sky Bet pay out?

Sky Bet has 0 captured operator-stated processing windows for the United Kingdom (methodology v2.1). On payout-related evidence, Sky Bet's overall-aligned public aspect projection is 6.6/10 (+0.9 vs overall), supported by 1,382 signals. 0 withdrawal-delay complaint signals in the last 90 days.

What are Sky Bet's weak points?

Sky Bet's lowest overall-aligned public aspect projection is KYC at 5.3/10 (−0.4 vs overall), supported by 479 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 UK Gambling Commission 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 Sky Bet's score come from?

Sky Bet's score draws on 8 sources: app stores, public consumer-review aggregators, and the UK Gambling Commission register. The live pipeline combines the recorded raw signals using the published source-trust and time weights. The per-source breakdown is in the Sources section above and at /sources.

How often is Sky Bet'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.
