Summary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

Author: Mason Kelliher Mason Kelliher

Mark Johnston's family-owned and run Southern Cross Bet is quite probably Australia's biggest regional bookmaker. As you might guess then, Southern Cross Bet is certainly not the deepest nor most featured-packed racing/sportsbook in Australia but it does have a wide range of racing markets, competitive odds, same game multis, apps, and all of your money will go back to country-based people and sporting organizations. Still, without top fluc odds and a somewhat limited book all-round, there are alternative Australian bookies that will give you a similar or slightly better experience so we would only recommend Southern Cross Bet to punters who are sick of bigger bookies or who want the incentives that come with creating a new betting account.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Betting Apps

Answering Aussies' most common questions about online betting apps, what they can do and where you can download those elusive Android betting apps

What's the best betting app in Australia?

Our experts think that PlayUp has Australia's best betting app.

It might seem odd to pick PlayUp but the reality is that PlayUp's app is really fast to load, easy to use, always has competitive odds, and isn't packed with unnecessary features (although they do offer Cash Out, Same Game Multis, and other generous extras. It's also free to download for both Apple and Android devices from the App Store and Google Play Store.

Of course, everyone's looking for something different when it comes to betting apps. You might want a betting app with lots of live streaming options, you may want a betting app that supports PayPal payments, or maybe you want a fantasy betting app like Draftstars - so here are our top 10 Australian betting apps and our experts' rating of their 'mobile experience'.

Best Betting Apps Australia 2023

  1. PlayUp (10/10)
  2. Neds (10/10)
  3. Dabble (10/10)
  4. Bet365 (9/10)
  5. BlueBet (9/10)
  6. Palmerbet (9/10)
  7. Ladbrokes (9/10)
  8. Unibet (9/10)
  9. Swiftbet (8/10)
  10. GetSetBet (8/10)

Why are there no betting apps on Android?

There are betting apps on Android!

It is a common misconception that because the Australian Google Play Store used to not have any Android sports betting apps, they are not available. However, this is not true.

Many Android betting apps are now on the Google Play Store. If not, they can always be downloaded directly from the mobile website of your chosen betting site

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
  4. Deposit funds into your account
  5. Find a sports betting market
  6. Place your bet!

How many Australian betting apps are there?

There are heaps of great Australian Betting Apps out there but we list only the 21 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.

Which betting apps use PayPal?

Sports betting apps with PayPal in Australia include:

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

PayPal makes depositing and withdrawing and withdrawing money from your betting app easy and really fast. Deposits are instant and withdrawals generally take a maximum of a few hours to reach your PayPal account. PayPal deposits and withdrawals also have no fees.

What betting apps give free bets?

Australian betting site law restricts betting sites, and betting apps, from advertising their promotions to players who are not yet customers. Therefore, you will not be able to see which betting apps offer free bets unless you have already signed up.

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.

What betting apps accept credit card?

All of the betting apps that we review offer Credit Card deposits.

This means that PlayUp, Neds, Ladbrokes, Palmerbet, Picklebet, Draftstars, Bet365, Unibet, BlueBet (and others) all accept Credit Card deposits.

However, you should know that most betting apps do not offer Credit Card withdrawals. When Credit Card withdrawals are not available other withdrawal methods such as Bank Transfer and PayPal can be used instead.

Mason Kelliher

There are seven Australian betting agencies with mobile versions of their websites but not downloadable betting apps.

BetBetBet, MidasBet, WinnersBet, Pendlebury Bet, PuntersPal, VicBet and BetDogs don't have betting apps

When you're on your smartphone on one of these betting websites you can add a link that functions just like an app by going into the browser settings and selecting 'Add to Home Screen'.

This will create an app-like link to the betting website that looks just like a normal app - which is a good alternative to a betting app if you use any of these operators.

Finding the Best Sports Betting App

If you're an Aussie looking for the best sports betting app then you're probably asking yourself some of the following questions. Which betting app is the easiest to use? Which app loads the fastest? What's are the best Android betting apps? Which app has the most sports betting markets? Which app has the best betting payment options?

But there are probably also some things that a few betting apps have that you didn't even know were available. Below are all the things we look for when ranking the best sports betting apps.

What things do the best sports betting apps have?

🔍 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.

🎁 In-App Betting Deals

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

📈 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.

Our list of Australia's best sports betting apps above was created by assessing how well each app satisfied these criteria.

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.

    Best Betting Apps for Sports

    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.

    Mobile Betting Sites without Apps

    There are currently seven Australian betting sites without betting apps that we still recommend.

    BetBetBet, MidasBet, WinnersBet, PuntersPal, Pendlebury Bet, VicBet and BetDogs do not have betting apps in Australia

    These bookmakers can still be used on mobile, but you will have to play via their websites.

    While it takes a little bit more time to use mobile betting sites than mobile betting apps, all of these four bookmakers have some features, offers, and markets that are worth checking out.

    3 side by side iphones showing the betbetbet mobile betting website

    BetBetBet went live in 2021 and has not put the energy into developing an app quite yet. Rather, they have focused on providing competitive odds and excellent customer care with at least twice daily withdrawal processing and no limits on winning players.

    Midas Bet Australia Mobile

    MidasBet launched in July 2022 so perhaps it's not so surprising that they currently don't have an app. Regardless, this bookie has quality fixed odds prices and Best of 3 Tote odds for all Australian thoroughbred races.

    Winners Bet Australia Mobile

    WinnersBet is a no-nonsense, small, Australian-owned betting website with a wide range of Australian and international racing markets. WinnersBet offers Best Tote odds for all Australian thoroughbred races.

    Pendlebury Bet Mobile Betting Site

    Probably the least mobile-optimised bookmaker in our list, Pendlebury is not going to win any design awards but it still one of favourite small bookies given their aggressive odds on thoroughbred Aussie races

    3 Side by side iphones showing different aspects of the Punters Pal Australia mobile betting website

    PuntersPal is great for futures bets with all major Australian, New Zealand and international races along with soccer, rugby and footy futures bets available year-round

    Vic Bet Mobile

    VicBet offers a huge number of popular racing markets including Best of the Best, Top Fluc, Best Tote + SP, Each Way, Head to Head, Exotics, Futures and Specials (Favourite vs Field, Odds vs Evens etc.)

    Betdogs mobile betting site

    BetDogs is Australia's only 100% greyhound betting site. BetDogs has full-form, Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line info for every race as well as the most competitive greyhound odds in the country.

    Betting App Deals

    If you're looking for betting app deals to make signing up and downloading a new betting app even sweeter then we have some bad news. The bad news is that betting apps cannot advertise their bonus offers to punters until they have created their betting account.

    What are some betting app deals?

    Some common deals that are now banned from advertising include:

    • Bonus Bets & Bet Credits - Used to be given as part of a loyalty program, a deposit bonus or a free bet offer.
    • Boosts - Boosted odds or price boosts were very common and most betting apps tended to give daily boosts for both racing and sports.
    • Money-Back Offers - When your bets came close to winning, many betting apps refunded your stake as bonus bets. This might've been when your runner placed instead of winning, when a protest was upheld or when a sports match went into extra time.
    • Early Payout Offers - When your bet was winning but the final whistle hadn't been blown, many betting apps offered to pay out your winnings for a decreased amount.
