Better Collective’s vision is to empower iGamers –
by leading the way in transparency and technology

Our Mission is to make sports betting and gambling entertaining, transparent and fair. We want to make sure that our users are better suited for navigating the iGaming world by visiting a Better Collective website before registering an account with a sports betting or gambling operator.

Transparency is central in our approach to educate our users from an all-encompassing and objective perspective. We give them honest and clear information that will help them place the bets that are best for their own personal preferences.

Sustainability Programme

Our overall sustainability programme, “Better for Bettors” focuses on our core business being the leading sports betting affiliate in the world and is closely aligned with our business objectives.

Our local initiatives are tied to our key markets and communities. They go beyond our core business as we recognise our responsibility to contribute to the local communities where we are active. Contributing to the community also adds value to our business in different ways. We call this subprogram “Better Community”.

Promoting Responsible Gambling

At Better Collective, we want to make sure that our users’ iGaming experiences remain as a form of fun and entertainment. That is why we strongly endorse responsible gambling. This entails making sure that our users are aware of the legal gambling age in the areas they operate, and are aware of possible negative effects of gambling that could lead to addiction, and how to prevent these effects.

Fighting Gambling Addiction

To prevent potential users from succumbing to addiction, all of our products promote Responsible Gaming. For users who have moved into an unhealthy relationship with gambling, or feel that they are developing symptoms of Gambling Addiction, we provide extensive content on how to recognise the problems of addiction, how to prevent them, and who to contact for any support they need.

What transparency means for our products

bettingexpert.com is a third party tipster platform where we reward the best tipsters based on their positive performance. By letting them interact and compete in our closed sandbox, their tips are not influenced by any external incentives from bookmakers and other personal agendas.

SmartBets uses SmartFacts that is based on data driven algorithms that show real sports trends, and how those trends relate to valuable bets. It also openly presents the percentage payout of every bookmaker, so each user knows how much commission bookmakers take from their actual winnings.

BetBehind is the only automated betting platform that is supported by a proven community of tipsters. BetBehind utilises bettingexpert.com’s objective and transparent performance algorithms, ensuring that when it claims “top tipsters”—the claim is supported by the stats.

What transparency means for our customers

A Nielsen study of the German sports betting market revealed that transparency and trustworthiness were both key drivers, but currently also lacking elements, for users selecting bookmakers. Our transparent approach fulfils this user need.

Crowd Sourced
Betting Tips

We create communities that invite and incentivise expert tipsters to prove their betting knowledge by sharing tips with all of our users.

Compare Odds
Across Bookmakers

We make the market transparent by comparing odds across bookmakers, ensuring our users get the most value from their bets.

Gambling Guides &
Strategies

We create in depth, educational iGaming guides so that our users can gain insights and be confident that their betting is supported by knowledge.

Commission From
Business Partners

Through all of our platforms and tools, we earn commission by matching users with the right iGaming operators that suit their personal needs.

Affiliate Model

The basic affiliate model is very common in the digital marketplace. Fundamentally, it facilitates single affiliate journeys, where a user arrives at the affiliate platform, activates the affiliate link, and signs up with the end partner – earning the affiliate commission in the process.

Better Collective’s Affiliate Approach

Since Better Collective’s technically superior platforms are built around our users and their unique preferences, Better Collective products become a part of our users’ day to day betting experience. Our approach differs from the standard model as it invites individual users to come back to our platforms—facilitating multiple affiliate journeys per single user, allowing us to increase both the retention rates on our platforms, and leads to our partners.
