Positions for sports betting sites across the major consumer Web rankings were again down for most of the bookmakers in the Global Top 25, though only slightly week-over-week.

Betfair maintains its lead position on the Global Top 25, though the gap between it and #2 Bet365 continues to narrow, putting Bet365 in reasonable striking distance to potentially take over the top spot. #4 Bwin saw the best positive movement across all consumer Web rankings of the bookmakers in the Top 5, with #5 Ladbrokes able to widen its lead over #6 Betclic.

Sportingbet was at #12 and Skybet slipped to #17 behind TABsportbet, and Interwetten fell to #24 behind MyBet.

BetRankings.com will release its Top 25 Global Sports Book rankings every Thursday, in advance of the week’s European football/soccer schedule.
