We started SportsInsider.com because sports betting content is full of noise — recycled bonus lists, vague “expert picks,” and reviews that never mention what happens after you actually deposit money. We wanted a site built by people who’ve placed the bets themselves.
About Us & Review Process
August 16, 2026, 3 PM
Who We Are
Our team is a mix of longtime sports bettors, former sportsbook analysts, and writers who’ve covered odds, lines, and the betting industry for years. Some of us lean toward football and basketball, others live for baseball or MMA, but everyone on the team bets — this isn’t theoretical for us. That firsthand experience shapes every review, pick, and guide we publish.
We’re a media and information site, not a sportsbook. We don’t take bets or hold anyone’s money. Our job is to help you find operators worth your time and steer you away from the ones that aren’t.
We’ve been featured in publications such as: FOX, LATimes, USAToday, NBC Sports and many more.
How We Make Money
SportsInsider.com earns commissions through affiliate partnerships when readers sign up with a sportsbook through our links. It costs you nothing extra, and it’s how we keep the lights on. It also doesn’t buy influence — a partner paying us for referrals doesn’t get an easier review or a better placement on our rankings. If a book isn’t good, we say so, partner or not.
How We Review Sportsbooks
Every review starts the same way: we treat the sportsbook like a regular customer would. No special access, no announcing ourselves as reviewers — we sign up, deposit, place real bets, and request a payout just like anyone else.
What We Actually Look At:
Trust and licensing
The fine print
Payouts
Odds and value
Real usage
Customer support
Bonuses
Why You Can Trust It
Every review that goes out gets a second look from another team member before it’s published, specifically checking for anything the original reviewer might have missed or gotten wrong. We also revisit our reviews periodically — a sportsbook that was great two years ago isn’t guaranteed to still be great today, and we update our content to reflect that.
Our rankings are never for sale. Sportsbooks don’t get a better spot on our site because they pay us more — they get a better spot because they earned it through the review process above.
If you have questions about a review or notice something’s out of date, reach out to us directly. We’d rather fix it than let it sit.
