Home / How We Rate
TexasBets ranks offshore sportsbooks on tested evidence, not marketing claims. Every site is scored against the same five weighted criteria, and payout speed never overrides trust. Last updated June 23, 2026.
Our weighted scoring criteria
Tested payout speed
The real request-to-received time we record when cashing out winnings, broken down by method on a verified account.
Market depth & odds
How many sports, leagues and bet types are covered, how deep live betting goes, and how competitive the odds are on Texas markets.
App & platform quality
Mobile app and site performance, live-betting responsiveness, bet-slip speed and overall stability.
Bonus value & terms
The size of the welcome offer and reloads, and how fair the rollover and expiry conditions are.
Banking & support
The range of deposit and withdrawal options, the limits on each, and how responsive customer support is.
How we test payout speed
- We open and fully verify a real account at the sportsbook, completing any ID checks up front.
- We deposit real funds and place live bets on Texas markets to build a withdrawable balance.
- Once bets settle, we request withdrawals across each available method and timestamp every step from request to arrival.
- We repeat the test to capture the typical window rather than a single lucky result.
- We log the figures into our payout-speed index.
Our rating scale
- 4.7 to 5.0 - Exceptional: fast crypto payouts, deep markets, sharp odds and a flawless payout history.
- 4.3 to 4.6 - Excellent: quick payouts and strong markets with a minor trade-off such as a smaller app.
- 4.0 to 4.2 - Very good: reliable, with mid-pack payout speed or a narrower range of markets.
- Below 4.0 - Not currently featured; a sportsbook has to clear our payout and trust bar to appear at all.
Editorial independence
Our rankings are not for sale. TexasBets is funded by affiliate commissions earned when readers sign up through some of our links, at no extra cost to the reader. Those commercial arrangements never influence a score, a ranking or a recommendation. A sportsbook that pays slowly is marked down regardless of any commercial relationship, and operators with a record of not paying are left off entirely.
