Betting sites & exchanges
Any darts betting list begins with a licensing question, because a bookmaker unlicensed in Great Britain is a different proposition from a licensed one, however good its prices look.
Best, newest and independent bookmakers come into the picture, along with betting exchanges (licensed as betting intermediaries), spread betting platforms and the high-limit and no-limit sites.
Only the Gambling Commission’s public register shows who is licensed. A .com address is what licensed operators use, so the web address tells nothing. Nobody has established a statutory stake cap in sports betting; every operator sets maximum stakes of its own.
