Betfocus Review

The Betfocus app gets a big tick of approval.

They have kept the layout clear and easy to focus on. Promos are distinctively highlighted with a dollar sign emoji to avoid any confusion. The blue, orange, and white colour scheme looks fresh, and overall, there is no lagging while using the app. Bet focus can be used on both computer and through the app.

A faultless app goes a long way in wanting to continue using a bookmaker and with the Betfocus app what you see is what you get which is a clean and seamless service.

If you have an account, there are a very good number of promotions on offer throughout the week through Betfocus including money back for second on different races and high maximum stakes for promotions, which is a big plus.

If you can show Betfocus some loyalty with your punting frequency they will reward you back with various offers. The negative is that bonus bets are limited to one per race and there is no tolerance around this. This rule isn’t easy to find.

If an offer is provided to you over live chat, they will not mention these terms attached to it, nor provide a link to the T&Cs. If you place more than one bonus bet on a race, they will close your account until you reach out via live chat about your account and explain you will not break the T&Cs again.

This seems abrupt and would likely cause general punters confusion and to turn away from Betfocus.

Betfocus withdrawals are fast and processed four times daily. This is more often than most bookmakers across Australia.

Another positive is that withdrawals can be cancelled right up to being paid out. So, if you change your mind and want to spend your pending withdrawal, the option is there.

The only slight negative is they can’t offer times when withdrawals are processed, however, four times in one day is much better than one or none!

The selection of racing and sports at Betfocus is strong. All local races are available as well as most international races. There is also a large range of sports on offer worldwide.

There are no tips provided through Betfocus. Racing analysis is very basic with a runner-by-runner comment and some thin stats that only apply for some races.

If you are keen on your analysis and tips to help your punting experience then it is best to look elsewhere.

There is no live betting or live streaming at Betfocus.

Betfocus' local racing odds aren’t up to scratch. That is the biggest negative about Betfocus.

There is often a decent discrepancy between their odds to other bookmakers, sometimes by 20-30 cents even on short-priced favourites which just isn’t good enough for punters. This is also a shame given the name - Betfocus - seems to hint at expecting some solid odds, but that is not the case.

The international racing odds Betfocus offers are much better than their local odds and more comparable to the markets of the bigger bookmakers such as Sportsbet, Neds, and Ladbrokes.

Betfocus' sports odds are on par with other bookmakers. Betfocus also offers Same Race Multis.

There are 2 deposit options which is around par for a non-major bookmaker. These include PAYID and Debit Card/Apple Pay.

Support is not 24/7 but they are quick to reply and often able to fix anything in decent time.

While the service is generally friendly and fast, they could work on providing punters with information that bonus bets are limited to one per race rather than abruptly closing one’s account. This would save confusion and hassle.

There are no FAQ’s on the website or app.
