BetDogs Review

BetDogs is the world's first, and Australia's only, betting site dedicated entirely to greyhound racing. Launched in 2019 by Tristan Merlehan - the guy who runs TopSport - BetDogs offers a refreshingly honest and really competitive product for all Aussie greyhound punters.

Firstly, unlike some of the bigger corporate bookies, BetDogs will never restrict winning players. They have a low $2 betting minimum, an owners/trainers bonus, and they also show their own bookmaker margin for every racing market.

While BetDogs doesn't have all the bells and whistles of sites like Sportsbet and Ladbrokes you'll still find that all greyhound races have fixed odds, tote odds (Best Tote or Mid Tote depending on the race), and exotics available.

Additionally, special markets like Favourite vs Field are always are available domestically as are Full Form, Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line info for all runners.

There's also a selection of New Zealand and international races on BetDogs, as well as daily Best Bet tips but don't expect too much more. BetDogs has no betting apps, live streaming, same race multis, or any of the gimmicky features you might get from a bigger bookie.

Why we like BetDogs ✅

• BetDogs has full form, Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line info for all dishlickers
• BetDogs is a small, honest Australian-owned bookie that won't restrict your account
• BetDogs has Australia's best fixed odds as well as Best or Mid Tote options for every race

Why we don't like BetDogs ❌

• BetDogs has no sports or racing odds - check out their other site at TopSport.com.au
• BetDogs has very few features like betting apps, live streaming, and same race multis

BetDogs Rating: 8/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The name says it all for BetDogs and this bookie not only specializes in Greyhound betting but that's all they have to offer.

BetDogs has the most competitive greyhound odds of any Australian betting site

This includes quality fixed-odds prices for domestic and international races as well as Best Tote, Best Fluc, and Starting Price odds for the biggest Australian and New Zealand meets every week.

You'll find that all Australian greyhound races can be bet on with BetDogs. Most New Zealand and UK races are also available as are weekly Box Challenges and futures markets for the biggest races on the yearly calendar.

Multis, Exotics, & Fav vs Field options are plentiful and BetDogs also publishes weekly Best Bet tips.

Also, know that while BetDogs does not offer Same Race Multis, their Multi odds represent the true price of your multiplied legs (eg. unline other bookmakers, they do not take an extra cut on multis).

Two other features that set this bookie apart are the stats and information you get for each runner and the fact that BetDogs shows their margin for each race.

Runner information includes Full Form & Runner information (breeding info, past races, & price movement), Jump Style (starting/jumping habit), Early Speed (predicted starting speed), and Racing Line (predicted position on the track).

Overall, BetDogs is a simple, transparent greyhound bookie that provides plenty of value to any Aussie punter looking to bet on the dogs.

BetDogs offers the following betting products. Some odds types are almost always available (eg. fixed odds and exotics) whereas others are only available for certain races (eg. Best Tote).

BetDogs has a few features that add value and/or improve the betting experience for greyhound-mined punters.

Most of these have already been mentioned in this review but here's a little more information about each of them.

As you would probably expect from a smaller locally-owned betting site like BetDogs, their payment methods are somewhat limited but still adequate.

We'd love to see a PayPal option but because card, bank transfer, POLi, BPAY, and cheque are all available there's not too much to complain about.

Despite this, we have to say again that BetDogs is a generous and transparent bookie that welcomes winners.

This means that your account never be banned, although if you are a truly high-stakes punter then BetDogs may still set single bet limits for you if they don't have enough liquidity to hedge their position.

BetDogs' minimum bet amount is $2.

• Credit/Debit Card
• EFT/Bank Transfer
• POLi
• BPAY
• Cheque

Credit Card, Debit Card, and POLi deposits are instant with BetDogs. BPAY, EFT, and BankTransfer Deposits may take up to 3 days (but generally are quicker).

• Credit/Debit Card
• EFT/Bank Transfer

Credit and Debit Card card withdrawals may take up to 2 days with BetDogs. EFT and Bank Transfer withdrawals can take up to 5 days (usually your first withdrawal is the slowest with subsequent withdrawals taking only 1 to 2 days).

If you use your Credit/Debit card to deposit to your BetDogs account, and a withdrawal of greater than $2,000 is requested, then BetDogs may deposit the proceeds back to the card originally used to deposit.

There are plenty of ways to get in contact with BetDogs' customer support team (with the notable absence of live chat).

Because BetDogs is a small Australian-owned bookie, you'll always be talking to another Aussie and it's very likely that they also have other responsibilities at BetDogs (like setting prices and managing the book).

This means that you'll always chat to someone who cares about you as a player and knows a lot about the BetDogs betting website.

As one of the most simple and straightforward online betting sites in Australia, BetDogs is really easy to use.

As long as you're at least 18 years old, you can create a free account and bet on the dishlickers. Just follow the steps below.

How to sign up and bet with BetDogs Australia

1. Select the green 'Visit' button
   
2. On BetDogs, select 'Join Now'
   
3. Enter your basic personal info
   
4. Don't remove the code 'Lead 11'
   
5. Confirm your account registration
   
6. Make your first deposit
7. Find a race and odds
8. Enter your bet stake
9. Place your bet!

When you enter the BetDogs betting site you'll see the next three races to jump along with the Win Odds for each runner. You can select 'Bet Now' to view the full greyhound racing market, or, use the menu on the left-hand side of the screen to find a different race.

When you have entered a racing market you'll see the Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line predictions for each runner, along with their form in the last five races. Full runner information and record information can be seen by clicking on a specific runner.

You'll also notice the Pre-Post Flucs for each dog along with the odds offered. At the bottom of the race card, BetDogs' bookmaker margin is shown. You can also re-organize the runners by number, dividend, or name.

After selecting a runner's odds your bet slip will open in the sidebar. Here you can set your stake, or create multi bets (when 2 or more selections have been made).

Otherwise, you can use the sidebar, header, or footer menu to explore everything from BetDogs' rules and promotions (if you are logged in) as well as viewing your account information, banking information, BetDogs' betting products, or contact information.

Feature races and box challenges can be found in the left-hand sidebar/menu whereas daily tips are in the right-hand sidebar of the BetDogs website.

Unfortunately, because we are a big fan of rules and laws we cannot talk about BetDogs promotions and bonuses.

Australian betting regulations have banned the advertisement of sign up bonuses and other betting offers to players who don't already have betting accounts

And because we don't know if you already have a betting account with BetDogs, we cannot tell you about their betting offers.

You can view BetDogs bonuses and promotions by logging in to your BetDogs account.
