BlueBet

BlueBet got its Australian betting licence in 2015 and has since grown to become a popular, but still small, Aussie-owned bookie. BlueBet's success also allowed the company to go public on the ASX in 2021 which saw its share price double in one day.

The biggest upside to choosing BlueBet for your betting has got to be their focus on the Aussie punter. You'll find a wide range of Australian sports and races on BlueBet with competitive odds and popular features (like same game and same race multis and cash out). BlueBet also offers 24/7 personalised customer support options, fast payments, and a fast, easy-to-use app.

BlueBet's sports offerings are competitive, but their racing section is one of the best in the country. BlueBet offers Best Tote + SP odds for all Aussie thoroughbred races along with fixed odds, exotics, and special racing markets for the biggest races every week.

When you choose Bluebet you won't have to forgo any of the luxuries of a big betting site. You'll still get a small local bookie that cares, that offers competitive odds, unique markets, and all the features you love, and you'll keep your betting dollars in Aussie pockets.

BlueBet Rating: 9/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• BlueBet App
• BlueBet Racing
• BlueBet Sports
• BlueBet Payments
• BlueBet Contact
• BlueBet Features

The BlueBet app has all the features and markets most Aussie punters would want and still manages to stay compact, easy to navigate and fast.

One of the best and most unique things about the BlueBet app is the social sharing aspect which allows you to add your mates to your account so you can sahre tips, brag about wins and generally just banter.

You'll also find plenty of betting options from rapid multis and same game/race multis to quaddies, quick bets and racing markets like favourite vs field and odds vs evens.

The BlueBet app also has live price fluctuations and full form guides for Aussie races, plus a range of local and international markets from the AFL, NRL, NBL, Super Rugby, and A-League to the NFL, NBA, EPL, cricket, golf, tennis and more.

Finally, the BluebBet app sends you notifications when your bets win, not many other Aussie betting apps do this and it's a feature we really appreciate.

• Free for iPhone and Android
• Social bet sharing
• Same game/race multis
• Price flucs & race form
• High odds all-round
• Many Aus & intl markets
• Winning bet notifications
• Aussie owned

BlueBet App Cons ❌

While BlueBet has plenty of sports betting options and features, it's clear that racing is their specialty.

BlueBet has price flucs, form guides, exotics, same race multis, and special racing markets for almost all Australian races as well as some international races too

On BlueBet you can bet on all Australian horse and greyhound races plus a huge variety of international thoroughbred, trotting, and dog races from New Zealand, the UK, Uraguay, Italy, Chile, France, USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Sweden and more.

From time to time, BlueBet has Jockey Challenges and Box Challenges as well.

BlueBet's racing odds are in line with or exceed most other bookies with especially good odds for underdogs.

The other awesome thing about Bluebet is that they have Best Tote + SP prices and a Protest Payout on Australian thoroughbred races.

The biggest thing missing from BlueBet are speedmaps but with all of their other features, we'll forgive this.

While BlueBet is not a sports-first bookmaker, they definitely have all the popular sports and bet types that most Australian punters prefer, plus some unique options too.

BlueBet is particularly strong for sports futures and same game multis, offering odds on outcomes that many other betting sites don't have

Overall, you'll find that you can use BlueBet to bet on everything from Aussie Rules and Cricket to Darts and Snooker but you should expect better prices and more options for the most popular leagues.

You'll also have a range of different sports betting options on BlueBet including Multis, Yankees and Super Yankees, Lucky 15s and Lucky 31s, Doubles, Trebles, 4-folds as well as Match Result markets, 1st and 2nd Half Markets, Margins, Player Specials, and lots of Alternative Lines.

Again underdogs can sometimes have better odds on BlueBet but so can the favourites so BlueBet is definitely a betting site worth having an account with.

BlueBet's size shows a little bit when it comes to their payment options. As with many other small betting sites, BlueBet has a limited number of payment options, especially for withdrawals.

Despite this, BlueBet deposits with card and POLi are instant and BlueBet withdrawals take a maximum of 2 business days. After you make your first withdrawal you can also expect your wait to decrease significantly.

Overall, the BlueBet payment process is streamlined and protected by SSL encryption technology on both their website and app so it's very easy to get money into and out of your account securely.

• Credit/Debit Card (Instant)
• POLi (Instant)
• EFT/Bank Transfer (2 business days)
• BPAY (2 business days)
• Cheque (Dependent on bank)
• Cash (2 business days)

BlueBet's minimum deposit is $10 and their minimum bet amount is $0.50. The minimum live bet amount on BlueBet is $50.

• Credit Card (Instant)
• EFT/Bank Transfer (2 business days)

BlueBet's minimum withdrawal amount is $10.

Note that credit card can only be used for BlueBet withdrawals if your deposited using your credit card. You will also only be able to withdraw as much as your deposited to your credit card.

One of the things that we really appreciate about BlueBet is the availability and quality of its customer service team.

The BlueBet customer service team can be contacted 24/7 by phone, email, live chat, post, and even fax.

If you ever contact BlueBet, you can expect to speak with friendly Australians who are quick to reply, knowledgeable, and just generally very helpful.

BlueBet may not have all the features of some of Australia's biggest and best betting sites but for a small Aussie-owned betting operator they still have an impressive amount.

Here are some of our favourite things about BlueBet for both racing and sports-minded punters.

We've said it already but BlueBet is one of the easiest betting sites to use in Australia. If you decide to sign up, here's what you'll need to do to get a bet on.

Sign up, log in and bet with BlueBet:

1. Select the 'Visit' button
2. Create a BlueBet account
3. Verify your account
   
4. Make a deposit
5. Find a sport or race
6. Select your odds
   
7. Enter your bet stake
   
8. Place your bet!

In true BlueBet style, their betting website is simple, fast, and makes betting easy.

When you first enter the site you'll see the next races to jump featured as well as an option to place a quick multi on the favourites from the next four races to go. Next to this are the most popular sports betting markets for the sports Aussies bet on the most - generally NRL, AFL, NFL Soccer, Basketball, and Baseball although it depends on the time of the year.

You'll also be able to find your bets using the menu which starts with a featured events section followed by different racing or sports categories - finding your bets takes just a few clicks.

The most popular markets will automatically be shown for each race/sport that you select but when it comes to accessing additional markets you'll need to use the tabs within each game or race to find less popular bet types. You'll be able to place multis after adding eligible selections to your bets slip.

Due to Australian betting regulations which prevent the inducement to bet through bonus and promotional advertisements, we cannot show you any BlueBet promotions, sign up bonuses, or deposit bonuses.

This doesn't mean that BlueBet bonuses and promotions don't exist but it does mean that you will have to be a BlueBet customer before you can be offered a bonus or promo.
