BetLocal Review

BetLocal are 100% Australian-owned and do enough for the punter to warrant signing up with. BetLocal offers a decent range of perks, including Same Race Multis, Same Game Multis and Protest Payouts. They also offer Top Tote.

Members are well looked after with very good promotions and offers. Loyalty is often rewarded.

BetLocal offers a large range of domestic and international races, and the number of sports available is solid with 14-16 different codes on offer at any given time.

BetLocal offers specials for sports and racing. So, if you enjoy your AFL or NRL, then these are for you.

BetLocal seems to be on par with the odds offered by giants Ladbrokes, Neds, Sportsbet and TAB. For a non-major bookmaker, this is respectable, as many can not compete with the big names.

BetLocal offers tips and analysis for racing both locally and internationally, which is powered by RaceLab. With this, you can expect tips, runner-by-runner comments, speed maps, race overviews and more. There are top 4 selections for each race and comments to go with them.

The app and website layouts are very simple. No flashy graphics and animations like the BetCloud bookmakers, but a straightforward, easy-to-use service.

The sign-up process with BetLocal is seamless, and withdrawals are done twice a day, with the funds expected to be in your account by the next day.

Customer service is great. There can be wait times, but nothing too extensive and expect friendly and reliable support.

Overall, BetLocal don’t have many flaws, but their racing odds could be better. For example, at Redcliffe, BetLocal had the favourite - Alice Rhayne Bow at $1.50 fixed odds, the second market elect Ruby Dear at $3.40 and the third market elect at $7.00. TAB were offering $1.60 for Alice Rhayne Bow, $3.60 for Ruby Dear and $9.00 for the third market elect.

It was clear when doing comparisons that BetLocal consistently couldn’t match it with the giants with their racing odds. Besides this, BetLocal do well in most areas. They offer a straightforward betting experience with minimal fuss and decent perks.
