Sports betting, office pools and fantasy contests have long been an integral part of sports fandom. Whether you’re competing with friends or placing a wager at an online sportsbook — or simply interested in “what the odds say” about an upcoming match — betting odds, data and predictions are an important part of the sports fandom ecosystem.
As such, The Sporting News is dedicated to providing our audience with the highest quality betting insights and analysis in order to educate and inform readers as well as contribute to the overall fan experience.
Sports Betting Content Guidelines
Our team takes our relationship with our readers very seriously, and we are committed to the following guidelines as it relates to sports betting content.
Objective. Users have many options in sports betting. Whether it is the brand behind a sports betting app, the various markets available from which to bet or understanding the ins and outs of a welcome bonus, our team endeavors to provide objective and helpful content to guide users in the best decisions available. The Sporting News may receive compensation as a result of working with various sports betting operators, but this commercial relationship does not impact the objectivity of the content created.
Accurate. The world of sports betting is full of dynamic information. Our team stays on top of the latest trends and information in order to provide users with the most up-to-date and accurate information.
Experience. All content published in The Sporting News’ betting section is written by authors with years of experience in online and legal sports betting markets. Our experience doesn’t simply come from writing about the subject, but by participation, knowing the details of available apps and understanding the intricacies of the betting markets available to sports fans.
Legal & Regulated. All brands mentioned in the sports betting content are licensed and regulated sports betting operators. For the protection of fans and sports bettors, we abide by all regulations.
Sports Betting Offers
As part of welcoming new users to their platforms, sports betting operators will often offer codes and bonuses. These can take the form of welcome bonuses, deposit matches and odds boosts. These offers can come with conditions or triggers that must happen for the bonus to be unlocked to users. The Sporting News’ betting content team sources these offers and bonuses from the betting operators and aims to include the most pertinent information for accessing them. We also encourage any sports bettor taking advantage of a particular bonus to read the terms and conditions associated with any bonus or offer to ensure full understanding.
Responsible Gambling - UK
We encourage all sports fans and bettors to gamble responsibly and understand the risks of sports betting. Please gamble responsibly. If you feel like you are losing control over your sports betting or gambling experience, please find more information here.
