If you’re questioning how I’ve evaluated the sites for the best cricket betting sites, I’ve used a list of criteria to assess each one. Each factor is focused on enhancing your betting experience for cricket and other sports. Let’s look a bit more into the details of what I considered for each of the factors.
1. Reliability and Trust
A bookmaker might offer you the best features on the market. But it won’t matter in the end if the players don’t trust it. That’s why the first thing I'm looking at with any betting site is its reputation. What's the perception of the site with the betting community in India? Although it's pretty straightforward, I made sure to collect elaborate testimonials from as many of my fellow cricket punters in India as possible. If there were any past issues or concerns whatsoever, I made sure to investigate thoroughly and in certain cases even reach out to the sportsbook for comments.
As most betting sites in India are offshore, I look for licenses from renowned authorities such as the Curacao eGaming license or one from the Malta Gaming Authority. Having either one of these is the first sign that I can trust the bookmaker to be safe.
2. Security Features
The first step to ensuring safety and protection for my dear readers is the license. The next step in that process is to take a look at the actual security features that are in use. Your personal information and money are the two most precious things that you entrust to your bookmaker.
I ran all potential candidates by our in-house development team, who took a deeper look at the security measures utilized by each site to ensure uncompromising security. For example, check to see if the website uses SSL encryption or not, how robust is it's DDOS protection capabilities, how secure are the payment gateways, etc.
3. Ease of Use and Accessibility
After I filter out the unsafe platforms, the next thing that I look at is the website’s ease of use. The user interface is one of the first things that I look at. While you might think the design is a superficial feature, it actually plays a very important role in the overall ease of use.
I also make sure to check whether the website has any accessibility issues. To have an uninterrupted experience, you should be able to load into the site from anywhere and use any device.
4. Bonuses and Promotions
Next up, I start looking into the bonuses and promotional offers. Welcome, offers are the most important bonus in this regard. However, I also make sure to check the offers for regular players as well. The combination of these promos is what will dictate your time at the sportsbook.
5. Customer Support
Although most modern betting sites we looked at provided quite a seamless experience, it is a very real possibility that customers will be faced with difficulties or concerns every now and then.
If and when you do, the bookmaker should be able to help you at a moment’s notice. I had our team reach out to customer support with different questions and concerns to ensure it's prompt availability, reliablity, consistency, courteousness, helpfulness and trustworthiness. I also checked in how many ways you can get in touch with the bookie: the more options, the better.
6. Payment Methods
In case you haven’t realized by this point now, I place a lot of emphasis on the payment methods that you get as a user. My first priority is to look for payment systems that are popular in India. Then I start looking for things like low deposit and withdrawals fees, or things like the deposit and withdrawal requirements.
