What We Do
Sunrise Betting Guide reviews sports betting apps that accept Ohio bettors. We think choosing a betting app should be as straightforward as picking a restaurant - you want to know what's good, what to watch out for, and what other people's experience has been.
That's what we try to provide. We test each app with real money, track how fast they pay out, and explain everything in plain language. If we wouldn't recommend an app to a friend, it doesn't make our list.
Our Testing Process
Here's exactly what we do before recommending any app:
- Real deposits: We fund accounts with our own money and go through the full signup experience, just like you would.
- Timed withdrawals: Every payout request gets timestamped from the moment we submit it to when the money arrives. No estimates - just real numbers.
- Mobile testing: We test on iPhone and Android, on Wi-Fi and cellular data, from Ohio. If an app is slow or confusing on your phone, we'll tell you.
- Bonus fine print: We read every term and condition for every welcome bonus. Rollover requirements, withdrawal limits, game restrictions - it all gets documented.
- Customer support: We contact support with real questions and track how long it takes to get a helpful answer.
Editorial Independence
Our rankings are based on testing results, not commission rates. Every app on our list went through the same evaluation process. If an app doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't appear on the site - regardless of what it pays in affiliate commissions.
We think this matters because most betting review sites rank operators by who pays the most. We'd rather have a smaller, more honest list than a long one full of apps we wouldn't actually use.
Affiliate Disclosure
This site contains affiliate links. When you sign up through our links, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. This is how we fund our testing and keep the site running - it does not affect our ratings or recommendations.
We want to be transparent about this. Our reviews come first, and the affiliate relationship is secondary. You'll never see us recommend an app just because it pays well.
