FiestaBet Overview
FiestaBet burst onto the scene in November 2023 as one of the first bookies using the BetCloud software. FiestaBet does things loud and bright with plenty of animations and lots of colours.
You can expect some decent perks when using FiestaBet, including Best Tote, where you can be paid out the highest Tote price. Protest Payout is another perk FiestaBet offers, which is where if your horse wins but gets relegated due to a protest, you will still be paid out as the winner.
They also have extensive same game multi markets in sports like NFL and NHL, and also solid opening specials.
There's also a decent amount for racing punters to enjoy with blended bets available for every Australian race (horses, trots, and dogs).
With other pros like competitive prices and a seamless app, we reckon FiestaBet are worth joining up with. 4/5 stars.
🥇 Highlight: Slick app and website
💩 Biggest Flaw: No tips and very thin racing analysis

Full FiestaBet Review
One of the biggest positives about FiestaBet is that their odds are highly competitive.
For example, at Rosehill, Sportsbet offered $4.40 for General Salute on fixed odds and $4.60 for Mazu, who were both the leading market contenders. FiestaBet, in contrast, had General Salute at $4.60 and Mazu at $5.00, both being slightly better fixed odds than Sportsbet.
The sports odds on offer by FiestaBet are around par with the major bookmakers, while the overall number of sports offered is just fair, with around 10 or so different codes to choose from at any given time.
There are no issues with the app, which has drastically improved its speed over the years, and the website is easy to use.
Some areas to improve for FiestaBet include the fact that they do not offer live streaming. FiestaBet also offer nothing in terms of tips. The racing analysis is very short and limited, including occasional highlighted comments on specific runners. Sometimes these can be completely inaccurate, such as ’ Best track’ when a runner does not race well there.
FiestaBet is very restricted in terms of promotions, so if you are a punter who loves their bonus bets or money back promotion races, then you are best to head over to TradieBET or BetFocus.
Deposit options are very limited with FiestaBet, and there are no NRL or AFL futures markets.
Another notable positive about FiestaBet is that fixed odds are up in decent time. For example, on a Tuesday afternoon, you can bet into most of Wednesday's markets and usually on a Wednesday, you can gain access to fixed odds for most major tracks on that coming Saturday.
While FiestaBet get a tick for this, they don’t highlight whether fixed odds are or aren’t available on the Thoroughbreds page. So, if you're keen to bet and aren’t sure whether odds are live yet or not, you have to click into each race to find out. Having a simple logo or something to signify that fixed odds are live would be helpful for punters.
