Our method

How we score

Step 01

Licence verification

We confirm the brand appears on the public register held by the French regulator before anything else. No licence, no review.

Step 02

Odds and market testing

We record odds on identical fixtures at the same time, so we compare like with like.

Step 03

Real journey

Sign-up, identity verification, deposit, withdrawal, contacting support. We measure the delays we actually observe.

Step 04

Safeguards and protection

We check that deposit limits, self-exclusion and links to support services are genuinely present and reachable.

Responsible betting

Betting must stay a controlled choice

Betting carries risks: debt, isolation, dependency. Set your limits before you start, never chase a loss, and never stake money you need for anything else.

  • Set a deposit limit before your first stake.
  • Never stake money set aside for everyday expenses.
  • Never try to win back a loss.
  • Take regular breaks and use self-exclusion if you need it.

Frequently asked

FAQ

Answers to the questions we get asked most often.

SoulSportsBetting is an independent editorial comparison service covering sports betting brands authorised to operate in France. We accept no bets, hold no funds and offer no betting service of any kind. We publish reviews and link out to licensed brands.

The public register held by the French regulator lists every authorised brand. Each review here states the legal entity and the official domain of the brand, with a direct link to that register so you can verify it yourself.

Yes. Sports betting is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18 in France. This comparison service is aimed exclusively at an adult audience, and every licensed brand applies mandatory identity verification.

We receive affiliate compensation when an adult visitor opens an account through one of our commercial links. That compensation changes neither our scores nor the content of our reviews, and it costs you nothing extra. Full details are on our Disclosure page.

No. The display order follows our five-criteria scoring grid. A brand cannot buy a position, and a score is never negotiable.
