How We Rate

Our eSports Betting Review Methodology

At Bathcompanies, every review you read on bathcompanies.co.uk is the result of a thorough, hands-on evaluation process carried out by our lead reviewer, Jenna Wright. We believe that bettors in Great Britain deserve honest, independent, and expertly researched information before they commit their money to any eSports betting platform. This page explains exactly how we arrive at our ratings, what criteria we use, and how we protect our editorial independence.

Who Reviews the Sites

Jenna Wright is the author and owner of Bathcompanies. Jenna has spent years immersed in the eSports betting landscape, following competitive gaming titles, betting markets, and operator trends across the United Kingdom. Before any review is published, Jenna personally registers a real account, makes a real deposit using her own funds, claims available bonuses, places actual wagers, and contacts customer support teams directly. No review on this site is written based on second-hand information, press releases, or operator briefings alone. Every rating reflects lived, first-person experience with the platform.

Our Step-by-Step Review Process

Each eSports betting site we evaluate goes through the following stages before a score is assigned:

Step 1 – Initial Research: We verify the operator's licensing status, ownership history, and regulatory standing with the UK Gambling Commission before investing any time or money in the platform.
Step 2 – Account Registration: Jenna creates a genuine new user account, recording how straightforward the sign-up process is and whether KYC verification is handled efficiently and fairly.
Step 3 – Deposit and Bonus Testing: A real deposit is made. We test multiple payment methods where possible and attempt to claim the welcome offer to evaluate bonus terms against what is advertised.
Step 4 – eSports Betting Evaluation: We navigate the full eSports betting section, reviewing market depth across titles such as CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and Valorant, assessing odds competitiveness and live betting availability.
Step 5 – Customer Support Contact: Jenna contacts the support team via live chat and email with real questions to assess response times, accuracy, and professionalism.
Step 6 – Mobile Testing: The site is accessed on a mobile browser and, where available, a dedicated app, to evaluate the quality of the mobile betting experience.
Step 7 – Withdrawal Request: A withdrawal is initiated to test the speed and ease of cashing out winnings.
Step 8 – Scoring and Writing: Once all data is gathered, Jenna assigns scores across each category and writes the full review based on her findings.

How Bathcompanies Stays Unbiased

We understand that trust is everything when it comes to gambling reviews. Here is how Bathcompanies protects editorial independence:

No paid placements: Operators cannot pay to improve their rating or review score. Our scores are determined solely by the testing process described above.
Real money used: Jenna uses her own personal funds during testing, not operator credits or demo accounts, ensuring the experience she reviews is identical to that of a real bettor.
Affiliate relationship transparency: Bathcompanies may earn a commission if you sign up to a site through our links. This commercial relationship never influences the scores or written content of our reviews. Negative findings are always reported honestly, even for operators we have affiliate agreements with.
Regular re-reviews: Sites are revisited and scores updated when significant changes occur, such as licence changes, new ownership, or updated bonus terms. Ratings reflect current conditions, not a one-time historical snapshot.
No operator editorial control: Operators reviewed on bathcompanies.co.uk have no right to review, edit, or influence our published content before or after publication.
