Same brands, same weights, two different answers. The numbers below are deposit-tested and the scores recompute every build.

The 10-point WCI gap is real, just not large. Gamdom edges Sportsbet.io on the formula, mostly through the reserves and payout components rather than the age or licence ones. Both are within the band where a deposit-tester can recommend either, but if you only deposit once and never look at the leaderboard again, the higher number is the safer default.
Where the two brands actually diverge on product: licence (Curaçao Gaming Authority (OGL/2023/981/0450) versus Curaçao Gaming Authority, License OGL/2023/110/0072) and live streaming (only Sportsbet.io carries it). Those are the axes that should decide the pick if the WCI gap is small. None of them shows up in the welcome banner, which is the operator preference, not the player one.
Take Gamdom as the default. WCI 70 against 60 is inside the margin where either operator is defensible, but the higher score is the higher score. Take Sportsbet.io if you specifically want Established crypto sportsbook since 2016, deep football, Bet Builder, mobile APK. and you have read the trade-off in Sportsbet.io's review. Both pay out. Both were deposit-tested by us this quarter.
