Golden Rush Overview
Golden Rush launched in September 2023 and was one of the earliest bookmakers to enter the market using the BetCloud software.
Golden Rush does most of what is expected of a BetCloud bookmaker including flashy graphics animations and a slick and fast operating app with no glitches. Customer service is 24/7, fast, friendly and reliable. Golden Rush offers Quaddies, Same Game Multis, Same Race Multis, Mystery Bets, Protest Payout, Blended Bets and Best of 3 Tote.
The odds that Golden Rush dishes up are comparable to some of the bigger bookmakers - they certainly pay have better local odds than most other BetCloud bookmakers like BetRoyale, VikingBet and so on. For example, at a Flemington meeting, Golden Rush offered $2.20 for No Fuss on fixed odds and $5.75 for the second market elect Freight Train. BetRoyale could only dish out a measly $2.10 for No Fuss and $4.90 for Freight Train.
Overall, there are areas for improvement for Golden Rush, but for punters after a seamless app/website experience and reasonable odds, then this is the right place to start. Golden Rush received a 3.5/5 star rating.

Full Golden Rush Review
While Golden Rush do trump the odds of many other similar bookmakers using BetCloud, they don’t go beyond offering anything odds wise that will exceed what you can expect from giants such as Neds or TAB.
Golden Rush doesn’t provide any tips, and their analysis is extremely thin. So if you are a punter who values these components, you are best to go to other bookmakers such as BaggyBet and TradieBet. The most Golden Rush will dish up in terms of analysis is the occasional mention of a runner's chances with comments such as ‘Best Rated’, Strong Finisher’ and so on. Often, these can be inaccurate, so be careful if you follow.
The sports markets Golden Rush offers are very thin, and at times there are only offering 6-8 sports available to bet on. This is well below the average of most bookmakers.
For NRL fans, odds are generally available nice and early, typically at the start of the week; however, AFL fans are usually left waiting until mid-week, which simply isn’t up to scratch for the modern punter.
Golden Rush does not offer live streaming or live betting, and while you can expect some decent opening offers, Golden Rush does not offer money back for 2nd/3rd promotions. So if you are a punter who likes or expects promos like these, then you are best looking elsewhere, such as TerryBet and TradieBET.
The sign-up process with GoldenRush is fast, and most users should be able to complete this within 60 seconds tops.
Golden Rush App ✅
The Golden Rush app and website are faultless. The graphics and animations are appealing. The app is fast, simple to navigate and user-friendly. The colour scheme is fine. Sometimes, a fair bit is going on with the app background, but you can still see and use everything easily enough.
Golden Rush Promotions ❌
Golden Rush does not offer money back for 2nd promotions. For these sorts of promotions, head over to ReadyBet or BetFocus.
GoldenRush will honour loyal punters after some time using their service. In terms of perks, Golden Rush offers Quaddies, Same Game Multis, Same Race Multis, Mystery Bets, Protest Payout, Blended Bets and Best of 3 Tote.
Golden Rush Withdrawals ✅
Golden Rush withdrawals are processed once daily in the afternoon and can take 1-3 business days to appear, but they can also arrive in your bank account on the same night of the withdrawal.
Golden Rush Racing and Sports Markets —
The Golden Rush sports selection is very much on the thin side, with usually 6-8 different sports available, which is well below average for a bookmaker.
The selection for local and international races is decent and covers most of the meetings that TAB does.
Golden Rush Tips ❌
Golden Rush does not offer tips and has very minimal analysis. For a bookie that offers tips and analysis, head over to TradieBet.
Golden Rush Live Streaming and Betting ❌
Golden Rush does not offer live betting, nor do they provide live streaming.
Golden Rush Racing and Sports Odds ✅
The odds Golden Rush offers are solid. They generally are on par with major bookmakers and certainly exceed the fixed prices of most BetCloud-based bookmakers.
When comparing a complete racing market at Newcastle prices were very much on par with giants such as Sportsbet, Ladbrokes, Neds and TAB. However, they never trumped prices offered by the bigger bookies, so if you're looking for a bookmaker with an odds edge over these, then Golden Rush isn’t the one.
Golden Rush Deposit Options ❌
Golden Rush only offers one deposit option - debit card.
Golden Rush Customer Service/Support —
Golden Rush's live chat is open 24/7.
