How We Review and Score Tipsters

Transparency matters. Here's exactly how TipsterCheck reviews tipsters and builds the independent Trust Score you see on every profile.

Updated 18 August 2026.

You should know how any review site reaches its verdicts. TipsterCheck is built on transparency, so here's how we assess tipsters and calculate the Trust Score that appears on every profile. This guide explains our approach, linking to the full detail on how we score.

Evidence-first assessment

We prioritise verifiable evidence: the completeness and length of a record, sample size, and whether advised prices are achievable — the principles across our evaluation hub.

Marketing claims count for nothing without evidence behind them.

Real, moderated user reviews

We aggregate genuine reviews from real users and moderate against fakes, because a broad base of honest feedback reveals what marketing hides — unlike fake testimonials.

Every review is checked in line with our review policy.

The independent Trust Score

The Trust Score combines these signals into a single, comparable figure so you can weigh services side by side. It's designed to reward transparency and genuine long-term performance, not hype — full detail on how we score.

It's independent: tipsters can't buy a better score.

Transparency and independence

We disclose how the score works and keep our assessments independent of any tipster. Where affiliate relationships exist, our editorial judgement is not for sale — the standard we set out in how we make money.

Compare every service openly on best-tipsters.
