A position on this leaderboard is held rather than awarded, and the rule for holding one is short enough to print here: a bookmaker keeps its row while at least one hard thing about it can still be read where the bookmaker itself published it, which in this market means a licence reference. What that reference is for becomes clear on the day something goes wrong. A dispute over a Nigerian betting account is not addressed to a national body: it goes to the licensing office that issued the permit the bookmaker trades on, that office answers for a single state, and the state need not be the reader's own. Two of the five rows below name no office whatsoever beside their number, and for anyone about to fund an account that is the most useful thing this table has to say. The weights behind the figure are published on Verification: twenty-eight points in a hundred go to what can be established about the operator itself, how it settles money and whether its support can be reached take twenty-two apiece, and the catalogue and the welcome offer take fourteen each, the smallest shares on the page. Two of those five sit today over columns with nothing in them, and the table admits it instead of guessing: no welcome offer here has been read where it was published, and not one of these bookmakers says anything at all about how quickly it pays.

Tipsters ranked by what they actually returned

This register has no operator with its own published assessment yet, so the table is left out rather than printed empty. What is documented sits in the record below.
