How We Rate Betting Apps and Online Casinos
Every operator on PK Betting Apps is scored with the same formula. This page shows the formula, the data behind it and the limits of our testing, so you can judge our rankings yourself.
The Formula
Each operator gets a score from 0 to 10 in seven criteria. The final score is the weighted average:
| Criterion | Weight (betting apps) | Weight (casinos) | What earns a high score |
|---|---|---|---|
| PKR payments | 20% | 20% | JazzCash and Easypaisa in the cashier, low minimums, no fees |
| Cricket markets | 20% | — | Pakistan cricket and T20 leagues priced, most markets on the same match, live betting with cash-out |
| Games and live casino | — | 20% | Many live tables, Asian games, low minimum bets in PKR |
| Licence and reputation | 15% | 15% | Named licence holder, clear terms, few unresolved withdrawal complaints |
| App quality | 15% | 15% | Small APK, few permissions, iPhone access, fast loading |
| Withdrawal terms | 10% | 10% | Clear KYC rules, short stated payout times, fair limits |
| Bonus fairness | 10% | 10% | Low wagering, reasonable time limit and max bet |
| Support | 10% | 10% | 24/7 live chat, other contact channels, Urdu |
Example: an app scoring 9 on payments, 8 on cricket, 7 on licence, 8 on app, 6 on withdrawals, 5 on bonus and 9 on support gets 0.2×9 + 0.2×8 + 0.15×7 + 0.15×8 + 0.1×6 + 0.1×5 + 0.1×9 = 7.65.
Where Our Data Comes From
| Data | Source | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Payment methods, limits, fees | Cashier of an account registered in Pakistan with PKR | Monthly |

| Games and live tables | Count in the lobby on the check date | Monthly |
| App | APK installed on a test Android phone | When a new version appears |
| Cricket markets | Market count on one match at every bookmaker on the same day | Monthly |
| Support | Live chat availability, hours and languages, checked in the account | Monthly |
| Reputation | Trustpilot and Reddit reviews counted by topic; official block lists (NCCIA, PTA) | Quarterly |
| Licence | Operator's footer, the Curaçao Gaming Authority register (cert.cga.cw) and the Anjouan register | Quarterly |
What We Don't Test
We do not make real deposits or withdrawals, so we cannot measure actual payout times. Where we quote a payout time, it comes from the operator's cashier, guide or terms, and we say so. We also don't test every game or every bonus.
How Partnerships Affect Rankings
Melbet is our partner and is placed first in our rankings. We disclose this on every page. Places 2–10 follow the formula. Melbet is scored with the same formula, and its score is shown in the same tables, so you can compare it with the others yourself. Partnerships never change the inputs: payment data, bonus terms and support answers are recorded the same way for every operator. Read more about how we make money.
Updates
Each page shows the date of its last data check. When an operator changes something important, we update the data, the score and the date.
