Mason Kelliher - Editor-in-Chief

Why are there higher rated apps on the App Store that you don't recommend?

Fair point. Many new apps don't have that many reviews, so you can't really justify the sample size when there are only 20 reviewers giving 5 stars. This is particularly an issue with some new brands, who actually offer their users bonus cash to leave them a 5 star review on the App Store or Google Play Store.

We know this, because we receive these emails asking us to do this. The most accurate high rating apps would need at least 1k reviewers.

Why do you recommend apps that have a low rating on the App Store?

Another fair point. This can also be due to not many people reviewing a betting app (a small or newer app in particular), and the ones that are, are disgruntled users who have had a bad experience. Not to undermine these people and their experiences, but these apps are generally not the ones that offer people bonus cash to leave a positive review. Therefore, we weight them accordingly to compensate for the few unhinged people, and or possible competitors sabotaging them.

Another reason for this is because sometimes a review is not a true representation of the brand.

Take betr for example. They have very bad reviews from shortly after they launched. Betr offered outrageous promotions, had many winning customers, and had an incredibly overwhelmed staff which took people up to a week to receive their withdrawals.

Instead of punters being happy with the absurd promotions, many took to the App Store to voice their frustrations, leaving aggressive reviews, which still impact their rating today. Even though they would all be paid out eventually and have a decent fill up, which they would not receive from any other brand in the history of Australian betting.

What does Software have to do with anything?

For the everyday punter, it doesn't affect you at all. There are not many betting software providers in Australia, and most use one of the four most popular software providers. It just means that the websites and apps will look very similar to each other, and have similar features and odds.

However. Some users, particularly bonus hunters (people who open new betting accounts with every bookmaker to abuse potential bonuses) believe that some of these software providers share data, and that the system will be aware if you open a betting account at a sister app, and you may be restricted in promotions or bets.

What is Amused?

Amused Australia Pty Ltd is a company that trades as several different betting apps (BetNation, BetDeluxe, Surge, Noisy, PulseBet and BigBet).

While the software providers sharing data is generally an opinion, in the case of Amused (and other companies that own several betting apps) - in the privacy policy that you accept when opening an account with any Amused brand, you are entering an agreement with Amused to collect your data, not the individual brand. Therefore, all brands would likely have access to your data and betting behaviour.

We've been in the game long enough to know people are going to do what they want, but we're arming you with the knowledge to make safe choices when selecting a new betting app.

When assessing a betting app, as long term punters, we look at how the app best suits our needs. We've ranked our top 50 betting apps over 57 rating factors, including odds, promotions, features, app usability, efficiency, and much more.

We've gone through all the betting apps in Australia, so you don't have to.

PlayUp is one of Australia's newest betting sites (launched 2019) and is quickly making a name for itself as one of the best - especially among professional punters. You can expect fast and simple betting apps, a really helpful customer support team, plenty of generous extras, a top fantasy betting platform in Draftstars, Same Game Multis, Best Tote odds, and most importantly - the best fixed odds offerings in Australia.

Summary
Author: Mason Kelliher Mason Kelliher

Neds only launched in 2017 but it has quickly become one of Australia's most recognisable bookies. We reckon that Neds is Australia's best horse racing betting site because they offer punters a huge variety of markets, features, race day statistics and price information, and, of course, great odds. We also like that Ned's support team is available 24/7, that their app for Apple and Android phones is fast and packed with features, and that they accept PayPal and many other instant deposit methods.

Aside from the lack of deposit and withdrawal options (card and bank transfer only), Dabble is a quality new bookmaker with the real potential to alter Australia's betting landscape. Dabble offers users the ability to follow friends and tipsters, copy their bets, and banter with other punters betting on the same games or races. As well as taking social betting to a whole new level, Dabble has a deep range of racing and sports markets at competitive prices and a slick app with quality on-call customer support. Overall, Dabble is worth trying out, even if you don't think 'social betting' is really your thing.

Not to be confused with BetMakers, betM is a new and underrated bookmaker that suits racing punters with top racing promos, tips, and popular products on Aussie racing including Best of the Best & Top Fluc.

There is still plenty to like for sports lovers, with 20+ sports available, same game multis and stat markets in popular sports like AFL/NRL. However, the sports offered are lacking the in-depth insights that they have for racing - weird since they sponsor the Parramatta Eels.

BetM is missing racing features live streaming & blackbook, and the app (particularly android) has had teething issues - but the website is solid.

Unless you've been living under a rock since Oct 2022, you'd have seen TV ads and billboards of Betr plastered across the country. Australia's hottest new betting site came out with a bang.

But is Betr a good bookmaker?

Yes. Betr is one of the best betting sites we've seen launch. Incredible promotions, popular features like speed maps, expert insights & tips, and same game multis. Not without its limitations, Betr's app is slow and has less features than its major competitors and had pretty shocking customer service for the first few weeks after launch.

Founded in 1886 in the UK, Ladbrokes moved to Australia in 2013 where it has since made a name for itself as one of Australia's most popular betting sites. Ladbrokes Australia acquired Neds in 2018, so you will find similarly great racing markets and features on the two bookies including full-form guides, racing and betting stats, and price fluctuations. With fast deposits, a range of top sporting markets, consistently high odds, and simple, secure betting functionality, Ladbrokes definitely deserves its status as one of Australia's best bookmakers.

Sports Betting Apps Australia

Almost every Australian betting site also has sports betting apps.

All Australian betting apps are free and can always be found for both Apple and Android devices. Apple betting apps can be downloaded on the App Store.

Android betting apps can also be downloaded directly from the Google Play Store

Despite all of your options, not all betting apps were created equally.

Some apps are better for betting horse racing, others are easier to use, some betting apps have better deals than others, and only a few betting apps support PayPal betting payments.

On this page, you'll find a general overview of the best Australian sports betting apps

For a more detailed analysis of each Australian betting app, we recommend reading our specific betting site reviews. We go into more detail there and you'll learn exactly what to expect from your chosen sports betting app.

Mobile Betting Sites without Apps

Directly below this, you'll also find FAQ's and we'll tell you what criteria we use when determining which Australian betting app is the best.

If you want to download a betting app, but don't have an account yet, we recommend signing up on your computer, it's easier and less annoying. When you're ready to create your betting site account, click on a link on this page and sign-up. Then go ahead and download your chosen betting app!

Best Sports Betting Apps

There are no sports betting apps that only offer odds for one sport. That's because betting sites have odds for a bunch of different sports and therefore their apps also have the same selection of sports to bet on. However, some betting apps are better for betting on different sports than others.

Below we have recommended sports betting apps for specific sports, however, our preferences might not match yours so of course, you should still choose betting apps that suit your specific needs.

Once again, we think it's easiest to sign up for a betting site by clicking one of the green buttons below. After signing up you can download the betting app you want from the App Store, Google Play Store or from the betting site of your chosen bookmaker.

🏇 Horse Betting Apps

When you're looking for a horse betting app you'll want to consider what kind of form information you will receive as well as race track information and price statistics. On top of this, great racing promos and an easy to use interface are also important for horse betting apps.

We recommend Neds' horse betting app because they have plenty of form guides, price fluctuations, and statistics, a wide range of Australian and international racing markets, Best Tote, Top Fluc & Best of the Best odds as well as a Same Race Multi Builder.

New Betting Apps

There are plenty of reasons to choose new betting apps over older ones. New betting apps are generally easier to use and they are often faster than old bettings apps. You may also be tired of your current betting apps and looking for a new betting app to try.

Also know that most betting apps are updated periodically to fix bugs, improve navigation and add additional features. That means that choosing a new betting app may not always give you the best betting experience - but it's still a pretty safe bet.

Why should you choose new betting apps?

  • Quicker to load - The newest betting apps are also quickest to load and log in to and generally they suffer fewer issues with bugs, crashes and slow deposits.
  • Simpler to navigate - New betting apps often have great navigation and menu structures meaning that you can find an place bets quickly
  • New features - You're likely to get the latest betting features on new apps. Whether this is a new payment method, live streaming, or even new bet types & markets
  • Optimized for newer mobile phones - If you're using a newer phone or tablet then new betting apps are the right choice as they will be optimized for your device
  • Access to more odds & betting markets - If you have older betting apps on your phone then downloading a new betting app will give you access to a wider range of odds and sports betting markets

Click one of the green buttons to sign up and then download the betting app from the Google Play Store or from the App Store.

What features do the best betting apps have?

👑 High Odds Return

Despite all the frills and features of some betting apps - odds are still a high priority when looking for a new bookie. When we talk about high odds return, that is how much you expect to win, if you stake both sides of the bet.

So if you placed two $100 bets on either side of a coin toss, you are guaranteed to win one of those bets. But, because the bookmaker takes a cut (known as the bookmaker margin) you will not get offered 2.00 odds, but usually somewhere between 1.85 to 1.95. Let's say it was 1.90, and tails wins, you will collect $190, losing $10 in the process. 10$ is 5% of $200, therefore the bookmaker margin is 5% on this event.

The odds return is the other side of the bookmaker margin (95% in the example above). We test each betting site across a bunch of different sports and games to work out who has a higher odds return. They all vary depending on the game and sport (e.g. PlayUp is usually best for AFL & NRL, but Neds is much better for EPL) - but some are noticeably better in the bigger picture .

🔍 Racing and Sports Insights

Many betting apps have some sort of insights more than just the form guide these days. Which is ideal, as it means you don't have to switch between different apps or websites when doing your research on a race or game. Some types of insights include:

Form Guide - Provides basic info on the trainer, jockey, weight for each horse. Can also include horses total career starts, wins and places, total prize money and their most recent three starts.

Speed Maps - Are used to predict the running position of each horse in a field, and the likely pace of the race.

Flucs/Trends - Price fluctuations on a horse, team or player - which indicates what the bookmaker first listed the price at, and who the rest of the market has been betting on.

Tips - Are usually presented from a trusted expert, which explains who they think will win, or place, with justification on why.

Rankings - Position a player, or team, is ranked on the ladder. Usually accompanied by their most recent games.

Player Insights - A players past history in recent matches, which shows their stats for their most recent games, and the probability on how they will perform in the next game. E.g. John Allen has scored 4 touchdowns in his last 5 games. He has an 80% probability to score a try.

🎁 In-App Promo's & Specials

Under Australian law, it is illegal to advertise betting app deals to punters who have not yet signed up.

Once signed up however, from our experience, some bookmakers are much more generous than others with their offerings.

🔍 Simple, Easy Navigation

The best sports betting apps are not just mobile versions of their betting sites, they are apps that have been designed specifically for mobile. Sports betting apps often have simpler pages and more scrolling options than betting websites. The best betting apps have efficient menus and search tools so that you can find the market that you want to bet on easily.

⚡ Quick Log-In & Load Times

Great sports betting apps are optimized so that they do not crash and so that each page loads quickly. This is especially important when you're using a betting app to follow your bets live or when you want to place a live bet as they need to be constantly updated.

🕘 Live Betting & Streaming Options

One of the big benefits of having a sports betting app is that you can take your bets with you wherever you go. This means that the ability to bet live and to live stream matches is a very important feature of betting apps.

Note that you cannot place live bets directly on betting apps in Australia, you will have to call the live phone betting service. Additionally, to access live streams on your betting app you will generally need to have money in your betting account or have an active bet placed.

💳 Lots of Payment Methods

We have ranked betting apps that offer their customers lots of payment methods higher than other betting apps. We especially appreciate betting apps that offer PayPal and Apple Pay as these are two of the most mobile-friendly payment options.

💬 Helpful Customer Support & Live Chat

As with betting sites, it's important to know that your betting app has good customer support options available should you have a problem with your account or need help to use any of the features of your chosen betting app. We especially look for betting sites with helpful, 24/7 live chat and call centres.

🎮 A Good Range of Betting Markets

A good range of well-priced betting markets is important to every punter so we also take this into account when rating different betting apps. Every punter is different, some like to bet on the footy, soccer or cricket, while others prefer snooker, darts and table tennis. We think that the betting apps with the most options are better than others but we also take into account how well-priced the odds offered are.

📈 Special Features

The best sports betting apps have unique features that make the overall betting experience better. We like Australian betting apps with fingerprint and Face ID log in, ones that send you betting updates, and betting apps with extensive form and statistics information.

Sports Betting Apps for Android

Where to Find Sports Betting Apps for Android

The Google Play Store used to have a policy against promoting betting and gambling. This meant that there used to be no sports betting apps for Android on the Google Play Store.

However, today you'll find that most Android betting apps are actually on the Google Play Store.

Some bookmakers are slower on the uptake and so there are a few Android betting apps that are still not on the Google Play Store - these Android betting apps can be downloaded directly from the mobile website of your chosen betting site.

In these situations, usually, the download link for the Android betting app is at the bottom of the homepage, but it can also be found using the search function if you type in 'Android App'.

All betting sites on this page have Android betting apps.

    All betting sites with Android apps have a download link that can be accessed on their website. Usually, this link is found at the bottom of the homepage when you are using their mobile betting site on an Android device.

    How do betting apps work?

    Betting apps are free to download and can be used just like betting sites to place bets on sports and racing events.

    The advantage of betting apps, however, is that there are often simpler, more intuitive versions of betting sites. You can also use betting apps wherever you have an internet connection. You'll find that most online betting apps have quick log-in options (passcode, fingerprint, or Face ID), are fast to load, and have intuitive, simple navigation.

    To use a betting app you'll need to:

    1. Click on one of the links on this site to sign-up with a betting site
    2. Download the betting app
    3. Open the app and log-in

    How many Australian betting apps are there?

    There are heaps of great Australian Betting Apps out there but we list only the 47 best on My Betting Sites.

    The sports betting apps on this page are apps that we really believe in.

    Almost every Australian betting site has a betting app. If an Australian betting site doesn't have a betting app then it will have a mobile betting site. Betting apps are better than mobile betting sites because they are optimized for smaller screens, faster to load, and easier to navigate.

    1. Neds
    2. Ladbrokes
    3. Palmerbet
    4. Bet365
    5. Unibet

    Which sports betting apps have cash out?

    Betting apps with cash out include:

    • PlayUp
    • Neds
    • Ladbrokes
    • Palmerbet
    • Bet365
    • BlueBet
    • Picklebet
    • Unibet

    The best sports betting apps for cash out are Unibet and Bet365 because they offer cash out on the most betting markets (including Automatic and partial cash out) - other apps are a little more selective.
