Each-Way AtlasAbout this project
How we collect, date and check our facts
We check licences on the UK Gambling Commission public register and read bookmaker terms on the operators' own pages. Every fact carries a source, the date we read it and a re-check period, and we take no payment for a place on any list. Facts we cannot confirm are shown as Not verified, never filled in from memory.

What we record for each fact
A figure is only useful if you can see where it came from and how old it is. For that reason each fact in our log has five parts.
- The statement itself, in plain words.
- The source address, so you can open it.
- The date we read it.
- The family it belongs to, which sets how long it stays valid.
- The wording of any quotation, kept short.
Our own calculations are marked as derived, and the formula is shown beside the result so you can repeat it by hand.
The short version: no figure appears without a source and a date beside it.
How long a fact stays valid
Terms change quickly and licences change slowly, so the re-check period depends on the family. The version of this method is 1, dated 7 November 2026.
| Family | What it covers | Re-check |
|---|---|---|
| terms | Place terms, offers and rules published by operators | 7 days |
| licence | Licensee, account number and status on the register | 30 days, and again on the day of publication |
| pay | Payment methods, fees and limits | 30 days |
| event | Festival dates and race rules from organisers | 7 days in the season |
| reg | Rules and notices from the regulator | 90 days, and after any change we notice |
| derived | Our own worked examples | When the inputs change |
Definitions in the glossary are reviewed once a year.
Which source wins
When two sources disagree, we follow a fixed order. The register and the rule text come first, because they are the primary record. Organiser pages for racing dates come next, then the operator's own terms for that operator's offers.
Media articles and answers from AI assistants are not a source for a number. We use them only to find a claim worth checking, and then we check it against the primary page.
The short version: the primary record decides, and a claim made elsewhere is checked against it.
When data is missing or old
Some operator sites do not allow automated reading, so a few cells in our tables stay empty. Those cells say Not verified, or "Not published by the operator as of" with the date.
If a fact passes its re-check period without a new reading, the page shows Data out of date, or we remove the figure. We do not leave an old term standing as if it were current.
Money and conflicts of interest
Some links on this site are marked Ad and may pay us a fee when you join an operator. The fee does not set a bookmaker's tier or its position in a list.
Tiers follow published criteria, described on the page about how tiers A, B and C are assigned.
How we separate advertising from editorial work is set out in the editorial policy, and the disclosure explains the commercial relationship.
Corrections and records
If you find a mistake, use the route on the corrections page. The register records we hold are listed in the licence snapshot, and you can repeat any licence check using our guide.
We do not run tests of our own on bookmakers and do not claim to. Where a page reports what a bookmaker publishes, it says "publishes" and gives the date we read it.
