How we work
How we research and test betting software
How WagerBench researches, tests and verifies sports-betting software, and how we label what we have and have not tested.
Updated Oct 28, 2026
WagerBench researches software that sports bettors use: arbitrage scanners, positive-EV tools, odds comparison screens, bet trackers and analytics. This page explains where our information comes from, how we label it, and who checks it before it's published.
Three labels for product facts
Every product detail on the site carries one of three labels:
- Tested by WagerBench: something we observed ourselves while using the software under a documented test, with the date we tested it.
- Vendor-reported: something the company states on its own website or documentation, such as a price or a feature. We link the page and record the date we checked it.
- Not yet verified: we haven't confirmed it. We leave it blank rather than guess.
As of this update, WagerBench has not tested any product firsthand, so no product fact on the site is labelled "Tested by WagerBench". Each review says prominently whether the product has been tested.
One record per product
Prices, plans, trials and features are stored once per product and shown everywhere from that record. When we re-check a price, every review, comparison and product card updates together, along with the date. We record list prices and leave out temporary promotions.
Sources
Articles list their sources with the date each was accessed, and each source is labelled by type: official vendor documentation, regulatory publication, WagerBench testing, user report, journalism, or independent research. For regulatory and statistical claims we prefer the regulator's own publication over news coverage, and we say what a figure measures, where, and when.
Editorial review and AI assistance
Nothing is published without approval from a named human editor, recorded on the page with the approval date. A page that changes after approval needs approving again. Some articles are drafted with AI assistance; those pages say so, and the editor checks the facts, sources and conclusions before approving them. Statements that still need a source are flagged in drafts and block publication.
What we don't do
- We don't operate a sportsbook, sell picks or give betting advice tailored to you.
- We don't accept sportsbook affiliate referrals or promote sportsbook sign-up offers.
- We don't claim that any software, strategy or calculator guarantees a profit.
- We don't recommend sharing accounts, automating sportsbook accounts, or getting around identity verification or sportsbook terms.
Money
We may earn affiliate commissions from some software companies. How that works, and the rules that keep it separate from our editorial decisions, is explained in our affiliate disclosure.
