About Mike
Mike Lovatt is the owner of OnTheBallBets, which he acquired in 2022. With over 14 years of betting industry experience, Mike is based in France and leads the editorial team across the OTBB network, including OTBB India. The site is operated by M & B Marketing (French company registration 837729300).
Mike specialises in bookmaker reviews, cricket betting analysis, and betting app evaluations. His work focuses on providing honest, data-driven assessments of betting operators, helping players make informed decisions about where to bet online. He has reviewed over 100 betting sites and apps throughout his career, with a particular focus on the Indian, UK, and international markets.
With a deep understanding of the Indian betting landscape, Mike evaluates operators on their suitability for Indian players — including support for INR deposits via UPI, PhonePe, and Paytm, cricket market depth, and the quality of mobile betting apps on Android and iOS. He developed the OTBB Rating Methodology, the six-criteria framework used to assess every operator reviewed on the site.
Mike is committed to editorial independence. All reviews and recommendations are based on thorough research, real-money testing, and objective analysis. Commercial partnerships with operators never influence ratings or editorial opinions.
