Launching in May 2023, PuntNow is a racing focused betting site that offers top racing promos, opening specials, and the top tote on all Australian gallops - making it a haven for racing enthusiast punters.

PuntNow still offers a decent sports selection with 15+ different sports to bet on, and same game multis available in popular leagues such as AFL, NRL, NBA & EPL.

Outside of decent betting options, PuntNow does not offer any extra features (besides form guide on Aussie horses). There are no speed maps, insights, tips or live streaming that other corporate bookies offer.

ReadyBet looks like a classic local bookie, and it is, but ReadyBet also stands out in a few ways. For one, they price horses themselves - not always following the market - which means that you'll often find the top odds for certain runners. As former pros, the guys at ReadyBet also share daily and in-depth tips with all their punters. And finally, because ReadyBet uses Betfair to always give themselves an edge, winning players are welcome and you will never get banned.

With a name like BaggyBet you’d be forgiven for thinking they were a cricket focused bookie, but with live streaming, tips and an in-depth form guide - BaggyBet is much more for racing lovers, but is as safe as the Baggy Greens retaining the ashes.

BaggyBet’s fixed odds aren't the best we've come across, but they make up for it by providing Top Tote on all Aussie gallops and products like Best of the Best on selected races.

Although their odds are nothing to write home about, BaggyBet offers solid racing and sporting promos. Plus, with their decent book of 15+ sports - Aussies will enjoy using BaggyBet as much as watching Bairstow getting stumped.

The Betfair Exchange provides punters with a unique way to bet where instead of betting against the bookmaker you offer and accept bets from other Australian punters. The result is that you will sometimes find great odds on Betfair but often you'll also see that many betting markets aren't available (at good prices). The exchange can also be confusing for new bettors and Betfair's small grid-like website and navigation don't help. Despite this, Betfair does have many payment options and a solid customer support team.

Unibet is a well-rounded international betting site with something for every Australian punter. With a top-notch live betting interface, Apple Pay, PayPal, Neteller & Skrill payment options, and some of the best Australian racing and sports odds in the country you’ll definitely have a quality betting experience at Unibet. Unibet Australia is also a top betting site for horse racing and live streaming and the Unibet blog is a great place to find tips and predictions from betting experts.

Unibet.com.au

BetEstate launched in September 2023, with their manor of bookmaking being part of the BetMaker territory - which gives BetEstate access to live streaming, racing tips and insights, plus over 5,000 weekly races.

BetEstate offer specials and promos every single day, across a wealth of sports and racing. Plus, they have the fun and potentially lucrative betting options of same game/race multi.

With BetEstate, you will be able to see "Trending Bets", to see what is popular with other punters. However, there is no futures betting with BetEstate, and they don't offer many payment methods.

After travelling Victoria for two decades and working the rails from Flemington to the country paddocks, Michael Harrak has been everywhere. Now, after launching Punt123 back in 2022, you actually can bet with this punter's favourite bookie everywhere.

As expected, Punt123 is a decent bet for racing punters with Top Tote, live streaming, tips and a big selection of international races. Less expected, Punt123 has a solid 15+ sports book and some pretty decent sports promos, mainly for the popular leagues such as AFL and NRL. However, Punt123 does not offer any sporting insights and lacking deep sporting markets and novelty bets.

Punt123.bet

Chasebet launched on the BetMakers platform in September 2023, offering punters some of the best odds available across all racing, and also the most comprehensive greyhound betting available, with remote country meets not offered from other bookies, more all-in-markets, and many specials for the dishlickers.

Chasebet doesn't pigeonhole themselves with the dogs, they still offer plenty of promos and specials for all other Aussie racing and plenty of international meets across the three codes, with extras including form, speed maps, flucs, tips and live streaming.

Their sports book does include 15+ sports with same game multis for popular sports (AFL, NRL etc.) - however they are lacking tips and insights for these codes, and they could add more obscure sports such as Table Tennis or Esports.

Chasebet.com.au

With Australia's most personal and dedicated customer service and all the racing bet types you can imagine, VicBet is a fantastic option if you want to bet on racing. VicBet offers exotic racing markets, top tote products including BoB, Top Fluc, Best Tote + SP, as well as Same Race Multi and Special Bets (Odds vs Evens, Fav vs Field etc.) on every Australian thoroughbred race. Betting is also available on various international meets and future meets. VicBet has recently undergone a digital makeover with a modern new site and launched an app in 2023. It should be said that VicBet is not a 10/10 only because they do not offer sports betting markets.

Vicbet.com

Is GetSetBet worth signing up for? Is GetSetBet just another BetMakers brand?

Yes and yes. Launched at the end of 2021, GetSetBet (owned by the popular knock-out sweepstake brand Swopstakes) is one of those mid-tier Aussie bookies that shouldn't be your first choice but still has plenty going for it. It's Aussie owned, has a very high maximum payout of $200,000, and a range of sports and racing options including Best Tote odds, same game/race multis, and futures. GetSetBet's key selling points are their responsive and helpful customer service team and painless, fast withdrawal process.

Getsetbet.com.au

HavaBet came to us in August 2023, along with a bunch of other bookmakers launching at this time. Although, with some heavyweight on-course bookies behind it - HavaBet seems to be the pick of the litter and offers punters Top Fluc and Best Tote + SP on every horse race in Australia.

Furthermore, HavaBet has near instant withdrawals, asthey process withdrawals every day between 9am-9pm. So unless you're betting at midnight, you'll usually get paid within a few hours.

While HavaBet is a great option for punters that know what they want, and incredibly easy for amateurs - it is missing some flash features that the technophile punters like, including no live streaming and there are very limited insights.

havabet.com.au

Launching in 2023, PremiumBet is the new online arm from long-standing rails bookmaker Frank Hudson, who has been in the game for 35+ years and has brought his expertise onto the net with extensive racing insights and tips.

While it may look like any other BetMakers brand - PremiumBet differs itself from the competition by offering some pretty decent, and relatively unique, promos in both sports and racing for popular events.

PremiumBet has a pretty decent sports book of a dozen plus sports, with SGM in popular ones - however, they don't offer any sporting insights or futures betting in any sporting league.

Premiumbet.com.au

Bet66 launched in Spring 2023 on the BetMakers platform. While the betting site seems to be named after an old and unused American road - the site itself is very slick and fit for use, with fresh features such as live streaming, same game multis and plenty of racing insights.

Bet66 provide daily racing bumps on their own competitive fixed racing odds, and to save any doubt, they further offer the top tote on all Australian horse racing.

Although Bet66 gives you the option to combine same game multis to really balloon your odds, the site is much better for racing and offers few sports promos, not really any obscure sports and no futures.

Bet66.com.au

JustBet is an exciting up-and-coming bookmaker, that launched in Spring 2023. JustBet is the brainchild of some experienced Melbourne bookmakers and features all Aussie racing with a decent amount of international meets, same race multis, and the Best of 3 Totes, on every Aussie horse race.

JustBet also has 10+ sports to bet on, and same game multis available in popular leagues such as AFL and NRL.

JustBet is not the best bookmaker in Australia, but it's certainly the best new bookmaker to have launched in Australia for months.

justbet.com.au

Natalie Hinkley (one of Australia's only female bookies) and Anthony Jupp helped bring us Swiftbet in 2022. Today, Swiftbet is of Australia's fastest-growing new bookmakers, benefitting from the experience of its owners and dedicated Melbourne-based team, along with betting software supplied by BetMakers.

As a punter, Swiftbet offers all Australian meets, attractive features like same game and race multis, Best Tote and Top Fluc racing odds as well as competitive fixed odds racing prices. Swiftbet has no features or betting options that you won't find elsewhere but as far as small local bookies with great customer service go, this is one of the best.

Swiftbet.com.au

RealBookie is brought to us by Mark Sampieri and Chris Lester - two veterans of the Victorian bookmaking scene. This Aussie-owned operation is on a mission to challenge the corporate giants and does this by providing attentive, helpful customer support, 5,000 plus weekly racing markets, and other features like live streaming and same game multis. While you can expect fewer sports betting options and payment methods from RealBookie, you can count on at least a couple of horses and teams to have the best odds in every market.

So, should you sign up with RealBookie?

Yes, if you're sick of corporate bookmakers and want to support a small local betting site then you'll find great prices on RealBookie but you will have to forgo many of the smaller prop, special and alternative markets found on other bookmakers.

Realbookie.com.au

With the full slew of Australian and international racing markets, unique prices, runner comments, speedmaps, and hundreds of daily tips from racing experts, EliteBet excels as a racing bookie. Combine this with solid sports lines, daily specials, and the personal service you get from Daniel and the rest of the guys over at Rosehill, and it's clear that EliteBet is worth trying for any regular Aussie punter, but especially if you're sick of the big corporates.

EliteBet.com.au

TradieBET launched at the end of 2023 on the new bookmaking software, Punterstech. While TradieBET is far from being the jack of all trades on punting yet, they are slowly mastering each step.

Firstly, the TradieBET site (and Punterstech platform) is very fast and seamless, with little to no lag time when placing a bet. The features and markets are few (as expected for a new brand), but the promos are solid (less expected for a new brand).

And more impressively, TradieBET has very competitive fixed odds for racing with plenty of international meets. While their sports book isn't huge with 10+ sports to bet on, it's decent for a new book & with competitive odds on everything, including NBA and many Soccer leagues (15+ in England alone).

We expect they will start nailing down sports one piece at a time, as they have with racing, as they continue to build.

Thunderbet launched in 2023 by lifelong mates and punting enthusiasts, John Patton and Andrew Price. Patton has bookmaking blood in his veins, and is the son of a late well-respected bookie of the Southern Districts of NSW - Tom Patton.

The down-to-earth duo who still field the course at country meets, are aiming to take the corporates head on with all the same markets you'd expect in racing, sports domestically and internationally, same game/race multis, and regular promotions.

Although Thunderbet have acknowledged they won't compete with the advertising of the corporates, they are also missing a few of the features, including black book, sporting insights and multi tracking.

Thunderbet.com.au

First of all, Colossalbet has very competitive fixed odds prices for both sports and racing. Second, they offer personalised tips through their proprietary technology Colossal IQ, as well as daily specials, form info and comments, and ongoing support for all bettors. And finally, with 18+ sports offered and probably the widest range of racing markets of any Aussie-owned bookmaker, Colossalbet is ultra-comprehensive. But, Colossalbet does have outdated graphics and design which certainly don't inspire a feeling of quality. All in all though, Colossalbet is a great option for veterans and newbies alike.

Colossalbet.com.au

Marantelli Bet has been a reliable on-course bookmaker around Victoria for over 50 years. The Marantelli family has ensured their bookmaking longevity by consistently knowing what punters want - by providing competitive odds, promos, and more recently, a fast site and app.

Marantelli Bet is decent for racing and offers live streaming, speed maps, tips and racing insights on all Aussie gallops. Although they have increased their sports book recently and now offer same game multis on popular sports - they are lacking deeper sports markets, more obscure sports, and they have no futures betting for sport or racing.

Marantellibet.com

Betfocus launched in March 2024 and is one of few bookmakers from the suave new betting software, Punterstech.

Betfocus have some very competitive racing odds, offer Top Fluc and Best Tote + SP, but their international racing odds are probably the best we've seen.

If you're not into the ponies, there is still over 15 sports to bet from, with same game multis - although they definitely need to work on their stat markets, but that will come as they grow.

Betfocus.com.au

Launching in August 2023, Lets Bet is a breath of fresh air from other recently released and crazy themed bookies, and focuses its resources more on what the traditional Aussie punter wants - Top odds in Aussie sport, and Aussie racing.

Even though their racing odds are competitive, Lets Bet offers Top Fluc and Best Tote + SP on all Aussie horse racing, and also Best of the Best on selected meets across Australia, including all Saturday metro meets in Sydney & Melbourne.

Lets Bet definitely doesn't have the biggest sporting list to bet from, they do however, provide same game multis for AFL and NRL, where their multiplier adds up like a regular multi (and not whatever stingy algorithm Sportsbet uses). Lets Bet is missing additional features such as live streaming, and they could add more racing insights.

Letsbet.net.au

Bet Right launched in 2021 and has quickly become one of the most popular betting sites in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Bet Right is a perfect option for new age punters with 20+ sports to bet on, same game multis in plenty of sports including T20 cricket, over 140 soccer leagues to bet on (11 Australian leagues), 1.93 lines, and one of the most extensive Esports books.

Bet Right still offers plenty for racing enthusiasts, with all Aussie racing, a huge selection of international races, tote products including Best of the Best, live cash out and special racing markets including favourite v the field and horse/dog trainer wins markets. Now they have updated their site, it is very fast and responsive, although the graphics and colour scheme are very “gamer” oriented.

betright.com.au

LightningBet came to us in July 2023, and was a pioneer of the new betting software Punterstech, which has only grown from strength to strength since.

Corny as it sounds, LightningBet does have a Lightning fast software, and also for processing withdrawals. They also release their racing fixed odds Lightning fast - meaning a few days prior to the jump, but they offer Top Tote on every Aussie Horse otherwise.

LightningBet have a growing and very solid amount of stats for AFL same game multis, including choosing each quarter individual goal kickers. However, they could improve their racing insights, and add some for sports also.

lightningbet.com.au

VolcanoBet erupted in July 2023, with very strong fixed odds on all Australian racing and a handful of international meets, with markets including trifectas, first four - and now features tote betting.

VolcanoBet again provides decent odds in a growing sports book with 10+ to choose from, including same game multis in mainstream sports you'd expect like AFL, NRL, and Soccer.

VolcanoBet is still missing features such as live streaming and speed maps, but is a work in progress and has already come along way in a few short months. We expect these features soon.

Volcanobet.com.au

PuntGenie launched in June 2023 and if you wanna bet with them, they can make your wish come true, as they are a PuntGenie in a bottle. PuntGenie offers sharp fixed odds on Australian racing, with no tote betting or international meets. PuntGenie is a step above pure racing bookies and offers a growing list of 10+ sports, all with pretty decent odds, but with limited betting markets.

If PuntGenie could grant us three wishes, we would ask for speed maps, racing/sports insights and same game multis.

Puntgenie.com.au

BetProfessor launched in August 2023, after being created in the BetCloud lab, and offers markets and exotics on all Aussie racing, and win only markets on some international meets.

BetProfessor provides a growing sports book with 11+ different sports to bet on, and with a massive list of 80+ different Soccer leagues to punt on, 20+ Basketball leagues, and a 20 leg multi builder to complement this.

However, BetProfessor's experimental "features" formula seems to have caused invisibility - as there is no live streaming, tips, or speed maps.

Betprofessor.com.au

JuicyBet launched in August 2023, giving Aussies another fresh slice of betting, which focuses on all Aussie racing, some international meets and plenty of international soccer and basketball leagues.

There is plenty to enjoy with the less mainstream leagues (e.g. Korea, Thailand & Israel), as some of these are not available at the big corporate betting sites, and the odds for these are much juicier with JuicyBet (very high odds on obscure markets).

JuicyBet still needs a bit of time to ripen, and add more betting markets for codes such as AFL and NRL, tote odds, and to add some features onto their site, like same game multis and live streaming.

Juicybet.com.au

BetGalaxy is an “out of this world” betting experience - localised entirely in Australian racing and sport, with a few popular international sporting leagues (EPL, NBA, World Test Series).

BetGalaxy offers few markets in their limited matches and races, but the odds are consistently high across their offerings, and their multi builder is fast and efficient for up to 20 legs.

A flash looking website, BetGalaxy is missing flash features including speed map, form guide, insights or live streaming.

Betgalaxy.com.au

FiestaBet joined the bookmaking party in November 2023, giving Aussies a decent hit at the punting Piñata which is chock-a-block filled with extensive same game multi markets in sports including NFL and NHL, and also solid opening specials.

There's plenty for racing punters to enjoy on the growing FiestaBet platform, with racing insights, tote betting, and blended bets available for every Australian race (horses, trots, and dogs).

FiestaBet still has room to improve, as it is missing popular sports such as Aussie Rules, Rugby League and although they have tonnes of basketball offerings, they are missing NBA markets.

Fiestabet.com.au

Welcome to the JungleBet, we've got fun and same games (multis). JungleBet launched in October 2023, and although it looks like Crash Bandicoot, it has some pretty solid sports markets, with same game multis in plenty of leagues and sports including Cricket, AFL, NRL, NBA - and with deep stat markets (such as fours, sixes, wickets in Cricket).

JungleBet have plenty of international racing offers, and offers easy to read insights and flucs for Aussie racing. There are no tote products like Best of the Best, and the odds generally aren't the best for racing.

Although JungleBet seems to be one of the better brands to launch in Spring 2023, we've found their support to be as fast as the sloth they have painted on their bet slip.

junglebet.com.au

Sterling Parker launched in August 2023 on the BetCloud software. Sterling Parker has a solid and growing list of 10+ sports, with decent stat markets in Grand Slam tennis. Sterling Parker now have same game multis, and you can combine up to 20 legs on their multi builder.

Sterling Parker has competitive fixed racing odds, and offers racing exotics including exacta, quinella, trifecta and first four. They do have solid promos, however you will not find any flash features such as live streaming, insights or even form guide.

Sterlingparker.com.au

Launched in September 2023, Golden Rush is a new betting site that aims to offer punters the chance for their own “Eureka” moment, by offering competitive odds for racing and sport.

Golden Rush has exotics on all Australian racing and a growing list of international meets, and offers first past the post for all Australian Thoroughbreds.

Still in its infancy period, Golden Rush does not provide any features or insights, but does have a growing list of 10+ sports with a 20 leg multi builder, so there is a chance for you to win big and find your own “Welcome Stranger”.

Goldenrush.com.au

Built from the new betting platform BetCloud, WellBet is a fresh betting site with a “beachy” vibe. WellBet offers all racing in Australia, with a few international meets, and a growing sports book with 10+ sports to bet on. WellBet doesn’t offer Tote racing products, but their odds are above industry standard in racing and sport, which pairs well with their smooth multi builder.

WellBet provides markets on races only a few days out, and the limited sporting games they offer are for the current round, no futures betting. WellBet is also missing betting options like Same Game/Race Multi.

wellbet.com.au

BetRoyale launched in September 2023 and aims to offer punters "The Royal Treatment". BetRoyale offer all Aussie racing across the three codes with industry average, early released fixed odds, and now offer tote betting and products on Australian racing.

BetRoyale offer a growing sports book with over 10 sports, but are missing extensive stat markets in popular sports like NRL, and there are no same game multis as of yet, but likely coming soon. Although, multi bets can be quite massive, and are available for up to 20 legs.

If you want to bet like a king or queen, you should pick BetRoyale - providing royalty likes basic betting options and has no need for live streaming or same race multis.

Betroyale.com.au

QuestBet is an adventurous new bookmaker that launched in 2023 and offers high odds on all Australian racing, and a few mainstream sports, including NRL, NBA and Soccer.

Made from the increasingly popular software BetCloud and like other sites utilising this platform, QuestBet has a fast and responsive site that is easy to use. QuestBet is missing key features like live streaming, racing insights and speed maps - which seem to have been assassinated by, and replaced with Ninjas and Koi fish.

Questbet.com.au

CrossBet is a solid bookie with all the major sporting markets and heaps of local and international racing events. We love to see same game/race multis, racing streaming, exotics, Best Tote odds, 24/7 support and quick betting apps but we'd appreciate a cash out option, more helpful About Us and FAQ sections, more payment options and generally more extras. So, CrossBet is a good local bookie, you can request faster withdrawals and their prices can be up there with the best but they certainly aren't changing the game.

Crossbet.com.au

Rebranded from Sportsbetting.com.au in 2021 after a lawsuit from the corporate fat cats at Sportsbet - BoomBet is a contemporary Aussie bookie specialising in high racing fixed odds and a simple, easy-to-use platform. Like a few of our other favourite small betting sites, BoomBet doesn't offer every feature, payment option, and sports market but they do have great support, intuitive apps, and popular racing products like Best of the Best and Top Fluc odds.

So should you sign up with BoomBet?

Yes, if you bet on the races or the most popular sports markets you should take advantage of BoomBet's modern app & competitive prices. However, if you're into features like live betting or same game/race multis then this is not the bookie for you.

Boombet.com.au

One of the smallest Australian-owned bookies with a strong cult following, Picklebet is Australia's premier esports betting site. Not only does Picklebet offer great esports odds for a massive range of titles, but they also offer a decent sports selection on over 20 traditional sports and recently added racing across all three codes, domestically and internationally. Picklebet now offer same game multis, and are continually to be one of the fastest-growing bookies in Australia.

Picklebet.com

BetBetBet is owned and operated by a Melbourne-based team and run by local bookmaking legends. Needless to say, the 50+ years of on-course experience that these guys carry means you'll get a fair, respectful, and personalised service. BetBetBet is missing plenty of features and less-popular sports markets, but with Best of the Best odds on metro races, competitive fixed odds, and a clean and easy-to-navigate platform, this is a top choice for more experienced punters who are sick of the corporate bookies. BetBetBet also processes withdrawal requests at least twice a day using Bendigo Bank instant withdrawals - meaning you'll get your money fast.

Betbetbet.net.au

WinnersBet may not have the fanciness and features of some of Australia's biggest corporate bookmakers but when it comes to no-nonsense betting with high odds and a simple betting platform, WinnersBet takes the cake. WinnersBet offers a range of sports odds but they excel for horse racing with Best Tote odds on all Aussie races, Best of the Best odds, a protest payout, and high fixed odds.

Winnersbet.com.au

Built on the popular GenerationWeb betting platform, MidasBet is a new bookmaker that focuses on offering a simple, deep, and reliable product with plenty of generous extras.
