Licence first
An operator only enters our comparison if it appears on the ANJ licence register. We re-check every quarter.
● ANJ licences verified · 2026 edition
Two licensed operators. One straight-talking review.
CoteBoost takes apart the sports betting operators authorised in France: real odds, live betting range, withdrawal times and support quality. Nothing else.

Verifiable in one click. Every licence links straight to the ANJ public register.
Our method
Four pillars, one score.
We test with our own accounts, our own deposits and our own withdrawals. No privileged access.
📈
Odds recorded
Weekly readings on Ligue 1, the Champions League, the NBA, Top 14 and the ATP tour. We calculate the real margin, not the advertised one.
⏱️
Withdrawals timed
Deposit, stake, withdrawal: we measure the real delay between the request and the money landing in a bank account.
🛟
Player protection tools
Deposit limits, self-exclusion, session control: an operator that buries these tools loses points.
The operators
Reviewed in detail, licence in hand.

Frequently asked
All the questions
The essentials in three answers.
Is CoteBoost a betting operator?
No. CoteBoost is an editorial publication. We take no stakes, hold no funds and offer no accounts. We publish reviews of operators licensed by the ANJ.
How do I check that an operator is authorised in France?
Consult the ANJ public register. For every operator we reproduce the licence holder’s registered name, the licence category and a direct link to that register.
Are your reviews paid for?
Some outbound links are paid. That payment is declared on every page concerned and plays no part in how scores are calculated. Our disclosure page explains the mechanism in full.
Bet to a limit, not on hope.
Set a deposit limit before your first stake. It is the one piece of advice we repeat on every single page.
