All 58 atomic check outcomes

Principle / checkStatusConfidenceEvidence or reason
respect-user-preferences
respects-color-scheme
issueshighThe dark capture is visually unchanged and the DOM reports color-scheme: normal, so the site does not expose or adapt to the system scheme.
F003 low: System color scheme is ignored
respect-user-preferences
respects-reduced-motion
issueshighFour animations remained running under reduce, including a 12,000 ms hero progress animation.
F004 medium: Reduced-motion preference leaves long animations running
respect-user-preferences
respects-contrast
issueshighLighthouse found the Login and Sign up controls at 3.16:1 instead of 4.5:1; the contrast preference did not change their styling.
F005 medium: Primary account buttons fail text contrast
implement-natural-interactions
view-transitions
issueshighThe probe found no view-transition usage; navigation and major state changes use abrupt replacement while only carousel chrome animates.
F006 low: Route and state changes lack View Transitions
implement-natural-interactions
scroll-driven-animations
passhighNo animation-timeline or custom scroll-animation implementation was present, and mobile layouts scroll natively without horizontal overflow.
implement-natural-interactions
physical-gestures
passhighCarousel paging and horizontally arranged category controls use native buttons/links and remain operable at mobile width; no custom pointer-only surface was observed.
provide-guided-navigation
scroll-state-aware-chrome
passhighPersistent compact navigation remains visible on long sports/casino pages, and category state is visibly selected.
provide-guided-navigation
anchored-positioning
passhighThe offer callout remains attached to the offer control and inside the viewport without clipping.
provide-guided-navigation
directs-attention
passhighActive carousel dots, selected tabs and the sports onboarding callout provide visible state and attention cues.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
no-intrusive-interruptions
issueshighThe sports path simultaneously dims the page for onboarding and covers the lower viewport with a cookie modal, leaving core betting content inaccessible on arrival.
F007 high: Stacked onboarding and consent overlays obscure the core sports task
maximize-content-reduce-noise
semantic-dismissible-primitives
issueshighThe hero is a custom role=dialog without an accessible name; no native dialog element is used, and Lighthouse flags aria-dialog-name.
F008 medium: Custom promotional dialog has no accessible name
maximize-content-reduce-noise
reduced-chrome
issueshighStacked consent and onboarding chrome occupies or obscures most of the useful sports viewport before the user can inspect content.
F007 high: Stacked onboarding and consent overlays obscure the core sports task
adapt-to-the-form-factor
responsive-no-horizontal-scroll
passhighBoth layout captures report scrollWidth=clientWidth=360 and horizontalOverflowPx=0.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
component-level-responsiveness
passhighComponents reflow from desktop rows to compact mobile navigation/cards without viewport overflow.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
input-modality-aware
issueshighSeveral carousel/team controls did not accept focus or expose no visible outline, although Lighthouse target-size passed.
F009 medium: Landmark and focus treatment is inconsistent
support-core-task-success
clear-purpose-and-primary-action
passhighThe welcome offer, Register/Join actions, sports markets, casino games and safer-gambling tools each communicate a clear purpose and next action.
support-core-task-success
primary-flow-completion
issueshighhttps://betway.com/gb/en/account/registration redirects to /gb/en/sports and renders no registration form, so the primary signup flow cannot start.
F002 high: Registration route does not open registration
support-core-task-success
clear-system-state-and-recovery
passhighThe error surface clearly says “Oops... page not found” and offers a return to the homepage.
be-fast-and-stable
good-core-web-vitals
issueshighMobile Lighthouse measured LCP 3.62 s and FCP 3.11 s (needs improvement), despite low CLS 0.011 and TBT 32.5 ms.
F011 medium: Mobile LCP needs improvement
be-fast-and-stable
visual-stability
passhighCLS stayed low at 0.0118 on home and 0.0111 on sports with no horizontal overflow.
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-main-thread
issueshighLighthouse reports 2.2 s main-thread work and 9.2 s time-to-interactive; sports recorded five long tasks up to 183 ms.
F012 medium: Sports template produces long main-thread tasks
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-resource-delivery
issueshighThe original URL takes four redirects (estimated 2.09 s), with four render-blocking stylesheets and Lighthouse estimating 150 ms render-blocking savings.
F013 medium: Redirect chain and blocking CSS delay delivery
be-fast-and-stable
trim-unused-and-duplicate-code
issueshighLighthouse estimates 244 KiB unused JavaScript and 19 KiB unused CSS; GTM, gtag, OneTrust and FullStory dominate waste.
F014 medium: Large unused client payload ships on first load
be-inclusive
names-roles-labels
issueshighLighthouse reports an unnamed role=dialog; the probe confirms the promotional dialog has no aria-label or aria-labelledby.
F008 medium: Custom promotional dialog has no accessible name
be-inclusive
sufficient-contrast
issueshighLogin and Sign up controls are 3.16:1 against the required 4.5:1 for their text size.
F005 medium: Primary account buttons fail text contrast
be-inclusive
structure-and-focus
issueshighThe homepage has no main landmark, two H1s and several controls that either fail focus or show no visible focus indicator.
F009 medium: Landmark and focus treatment is inconsistent
be-inclusive
legible-text
passhighBody copy and primary headings remain readable without clipping on home, casino and safer-gambling mobile captures.
be-inclusive
zoom-reflow-targets-and-media
passhighViewport zoom is not disabled, both measured mobile layouts reflow without overflow, and Lighthouse target-size passes.
follow-best-practices
no-console-errors
passhighLighthouse recorded no browser console errors during the audited load.
follow-best-practices
sound-document-and-assets
issueshighDoctype and charset pass, but all 12 inspected images omit width/height attributes, weakening intrinsic sizing guarantees.
F015 low: Images omit intrinsic width and height
follow-best-practices
browser-platform-hygiene
passhighNo permission request-on-load or console error was found; document doctype and charset are valid.
be-discoverable
title-and-description
passhighThe final homepage has a descriptive title and meta description, both present in raw server HTML; Lighthouse passes both.
be-discoverable
crawlable-and-mobile-friendly
passhighLinks are crawlable, viewport metadata is present, and 92% of rendered content words exist in raw HTML.
be-discoverable
canonical-and-indexing-signals
issueshighThe .co.za robots.txt and sitemap.xml requests redirect through the homepage chain to UK content; the final canonical is https://betway.com/en-gb/, not a South African locale.
F001 high: South African domain redirects to UK locale
be-discoverable
structured-and-shareable-metadata
issueshighThe homepage exposes zero JSON-LD blocks and no Open Graph properties, despite public offer/content pages that would benefit from share previews and structured identity.
F017 medium: Public homepage lacks structured/share metadata
be-private-and-secure
secure-transport-and-headers
issueshighHTTPS/HSTS/frame denial are present, but X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are missing; CSP only defines frame-ancestors.
F018 medium: Defensive response policy is incomplete
be-private-and-secure
data-minimisation-and-third-parties
issueshighThe load contacts 11 third-party origins, including Google Tag Manager and FullStory; 69 requests and 1.47 MB are classified third-party relative to the requested .co.za origin.
F019 high: Tracking and third-party code loads before consent choice
be-private-and-secure
in-context-permissions-and-modern-auth
issueshighNo permission prompt fires on load, but no WebAuthn/passkey signal is present and the registration route redirects to sports instead of an auth surface.
F020 low: Account surface exposes no modern authentication path
be-private-and-secure
defensive-browser-policies
issueshighHSTS and X-Frame-Options are set, but the CSP lacks script restrictions and the response omits Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and nosniff.
F018 medium: Defensive response policy is incomplete
be-resilient
progressive-enhancement
passhighThe page is server-rendered rather than a JS shell, with 92% raw/rendered word coverage and title/H1/description preserved.
be-resilient
resilient-runtime-behaviour
passhighNo console errors occurred, layouts avoid overflow, and the sports callout remains within the viewport.
be-resilient
offline-and-installable
not-applicablehighA manifest exists but no service worker is registered. Transactional betting requires live odds/account state, so offline completion is not a safe or meaningful expectation.
be-resilient
network-and-http-failure-states
passhighThe not-found state clearly explains the failure and provides a route back to the homepage.
be-internationalised
lang-dir-and-logical-properties
issueshighA South African .co.za request is redirected to en-GB content with html lang=en-gb, creating a locale mismatch for the requested market.
F001 high: South African domain redirects to UK locale
be-internationalised
locale-aware-data
issueshighThe .co.za request lands on UK offers and pound-denominated amounts rather than South African locale/currency content.
F001 high: South African domain redirects to UK locale
be-internationalised
time-zone-correctness
passhighSports listings consistently present explicit dated/time-labelled events in the active locale; no contradictory time-zone rendering was observed.
be-trustworthy
no-dark-patterns
passhighConsent offers equally prominent Accept and Reject all controls, and safer-gambling controls are prominent and plainly labelled.
be-trustworthy
humane-error-handling
passhighThe 404-equivalent page uses plain language and offers a direct return to the homepage rather than blaming the user.
be-trustworthy
trustworthy-input-assistance
issueshighThe registration URL redirects to sports and exposes no form fields, so expected signup/autofill assistance is unavailable.
F002 high: Registration route does not open registration
be-trustworthy
safe-commercial-and-account-flows
issueshighThe legal terms link renders “Oops... page not found” with an empty document title, while registration redirects to sports; key commercial/account assurances are inaccessible.
F010 high: Terms & Conditions link leads to a not-found page
F002 high: Registration route does not open registration
be-sustainable
optimised-assets
issueshighSeven of 12 inspected images use legacy formats and all 12 lack explicit dimensions, although responsive srcset is generally present.
F021 low: Image delivery still relies on legacy formats
be-sustainable
no-wasteful-work
issueshighAnalytics/consent/session-replay scripts load on arrival; Lighthouse estimates 244 KiB unused JS and the tracker inventory finds FullStory and Google tags.
F019 high: Tracking and third-party code loads before consent choice
F014 medium: Large unused client payload ships on first load
be-sustainable
third-party-and-media-budget
issueshighThe page transfers 1.47 MB across 71 requests; 69 requests are third-party relative to .co.za, led by GTM, gtag, OneTrust and FullStory.
F019 high: Tracking and third-party code loads before consent choice
be-agent-ready
structured-agent-capabilities
not-applicablehighNo agent tool registration is exposed. Autonomous wagering is a sensitive high-risk action and no declared agent-facing intent exists.
be-agent-ready
on-device-inference
not-applicablehighNo on-device language-model or summarizer use is present, and the transactional gambling surfaces do not require local inference.
be-memory-efficient
no-leak-under-repeated-interaction
passhighHeap self size rose only 180,286 bytes (1.1%) and nodes 2,444 (0.8%) across independent equivalent loads, with no Detached constructor in either summary.
be-memory-efficient
bounded-footprint
passhighThe homepage footprint is about 16.25 MB baseline and 16.43 MB post-interaction, proportionate to this media-rich page.
be-memory-efficient
no-detached-dom-or-unbounded-listeners
passhighNeither summary reports a Detached constructor and the small post-interaction growth does not indicate unbounded listener/DOM accumulation.
