Betting Apps Australia

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. Overall, PlayUp is a great choice for both serious and casual punters - especially if you're looking for high odds without all of the gimmicky features of other bookies.

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.

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.

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.

Bet365 is the biggest betting site in the world - and for good reason. Bet365 Australia has everything - the most markets to choose from, the most deposit and withdrawal methods, the best live streaming and live betting services, and some of the best odds. While the old-spreadsheet design might put some punters off, it's hard to look past the sheer range of markets and features offered by Bet365 Australia.

If you're looking for a true blue Aussie bookmaker then BlueBet is a great choice. 100% Australian owned and run by veteran bookie Michael Sullivan, BlueBet provides one of the best betting experiences for Aussie punters. Top BlueBet features include same game and same race multis, cash out, social betting, low minimums, best tote + SP, and a protest payout. As one of the smaller players, you can also be sure that you'll get great customer service from BlueBet as well as some pretty aggressive odds on outsiders.

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.

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.

As one of the few truly competitive Aussie-owned bookies, Palmerbet has become a popular choice for both serious and casual punters alike thanks to their quality betting apps, aggressive odds & high limits. Since 2013, Palmerbet has offered 100+ markets for popular sports, fixed odds and Best Tote odds for racing, as well as plenty of stats, previews, and predictions for all Aussies trying to get a bet on. As a well-rounded, transparent, and fun betting site, Palmerbet is a great choice.

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.

Shane Filipek's PuntersPal is the online branch of his renowned Sydney-based on-track service. As such, punters can expect a smooth betting experience with plenty of features (Protest Payout, BoB odds, Full Form Guides, etc.). and markets (thousands of weekly sporting markets, racing futures, and Same Game Multis on soccer, rugby, and Aussie rules matches). PuntersPal also accepts phone bets, offers less common payment options like cash, and guarantees all payouts thanks to their NSW Bookmakers' Co-operative membership.

So, should you sign up with PuntersPal?

PuntersPal doesn't have any unique features but with brand new apps in 2023, great racing fixed odds, BoB odds on Group Races, and thousands of racing, sports, and esports markets there's a lot of value to be found. So yes, if you are looking to support a local Aussie bookie with two decades of experience on his slick new online betting platform then PuntersPal is worth signing up with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Southerncrossbet.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

Built from the new betting platform BetCloud, WellBet is a fresh betting site with a “beachy” vibe. WellBet offers all racing in Australia, with no international racing and a handful of markets in popular sports only. 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

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

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

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.

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 have daily esports betting tips and news available on both their website and native betting apps. Picklebet also added a range of sports betting options to its portfolio in 2021 and it is now one of the fastest-growing bookies in Australia.

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.
