About the awards

Welcome to the Better Collective Romanian Bookmaker Awards by PariuriX.com. The 2022 Awards took place alongside the Greek Bookmaker Awards in Athens at an exclusive and intimate ceremony in Amsterdam.

At PariuriX.com, players and sports bettors are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to provide them with the best information on Romanian bookmakers to help them make the best choices for their individual needs. We created these awards for Romanian based bettors to enable them to do just that.

Our categories are determined after extensive market research. This allows us to get to the heart of what bettors in Romania want, how they make purchase decisions and what factors they care about when choosing a bookmaker. The awards process is fully transparent and all of the results are data driven, the result of 12 months of data collection and live testing across the market.

The winners were presented in Athens, where we celebrated the best bookmakers in Romania. You can find more details on the categories below or learn more about the process and methodology please visit the Awards homepage.

How we do it
the Process

Players and sports bettors are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to provide them with the best information on the industry to enable them to make the best choices based on their needs.

Based on this of the major bookmakers will be automatically included in our awards process. We created the categories after speaking to the PariuriX community so we really know what matters to them. AS a result the awards categories can change depending on the market, so if you see an awards in Romania that doesn’t appear in Denmark, that’s why. If you think there is something missing, then let us know.

This is the process we have created to make the Better Collective Bookmaker Awards the most robust and beneficial to our users, your customers.

      The Data

      This year we were able to collect data from the full 12 months and are continuing to do so at fixed points each month or, as per our methodology, as deemed appropriate to measure effectively. This means out awards do not represent a single snapshot in time, but rather a more comprehensive view of each operator’s offering, with data gathered over a longer period of time.

      Sponsorship

      If you are interested in working with us on the awards please get in touch with Shona who will be happy to have a chat about how we could best work together. We don’t believe in one size fits all and want to work with brands that share our values.

      Player’s choice

      We want to hear from the bettors. This is the award every bookmaker wants to win. This is the community’s opportunity to vote for the bookmaker they think is the very best in the Romanian market. Voting for this award will be hosted across our sites and on social media in Romania.
