Conflict-of-interest policy
Some of the companies this site reviews belong to the same business network as AskTheBookie. You should know which ones before you read their reviews, so here they are, with the rules we hold them to.
The network
AskTheBookie belongs to a business network of gambling sites and services. Each has its own job:
| Site | What it does |
|---|---|
| AskTheBookie | Research, guides and the industry directory: this site |
| SportsHub | Picks, handicappers and related services |
| ScoresAndStats | Scores, data and game previews |
| Bookie.ag | A sportsbook |
| RealBookies, Standard PPH | Software and services for bookies |

SportsHub is not reviewed here.
I'll be plain about why this page exists. A review of your own company is the easiest thing in the world to soften, a word here, a complaint left out there, and the reader never sees it happen. So I'd rather you know the tie and read the review with it in mind. Judge it harder if you like. It should hold up.
The rules
- The tie is stated at the top of the review, in plain words: the company "belongs to the same business network as AskTheBookie". Not in a footnote, and not only on this page.
- Same template, same questions. A network company's review answers the same questions in the same order as every other review in its section, so you can lay it beside a competitor's and compare.
- Same factors. When ratings are published, a network company is scored on the same published factors as everyone else.
- A recommendation names the tie. Wherever the site suggests a network company, on a list or in a guide, the same sentence says it belongs to the network.
- The bad goes in too. A complaint, a slow payout or a limit that bites goes into a network company's review the same way it goes into anyone's.
- Writers declare their interests. Anyone who writes or edits a review declares any interest in the company or a direct competitor, under our editorial independence policy.
If you think we got it wrong
If you know of a tie we have not disclosed, or you think a network company's review is softer than it should be, I want to hear it. It is handled under our corrections process, and a missing disclosure is corrected the same way as a wrong fact.
