Matchday checklist
Before kick-off, scan these four things
Live match tools
In-play screens should stay readable on mobile — scoreline, clock, and key markets visible without constant hunting.
Price competition
Compare a few shortlists on the same fixture. Even small differences on favourites add up across a season.

Leagues UK punters watch most
Coverage quality matters as much as the headline price — especially when Saturday cards run long.
1
Premier League
Highest demand — look for early prices and broad player markets.
2
Championship
Busy weekends; clear team pages help when fixtures stack up.
3
Scottish Premiership
Often under-served — good books still list main markets cleanly.
4
UEFA competitions
Midweek cards need stable live coverage and quick navigation.
