New Betting Sites

BetGalaxy Rating

New Fast Website

BetGalaxy has a sharp new website that launched in 2023. Utilising the new BetCloud software, BetGalaxy has a fast performing site when navigating between sports and races, with no lag time or freezes when placing a bet on at that dire moment - or ever! The website looks ready to accommodate more markets and features than it currently provides.

Top Racing Odds

The odds provided by BetGalaxy for racing are fixed and have no option to bet on the Tote. That means no Best of the Best or Top Fluc, or any other Tote related racing product. While this may hurt for some, you'll be happy to know BetGalaxy's odds are some of the highest and come out early - up to 3 days prior to the race for some meets.

Competitive Sporting Odds

BetGalaxy do not offer many sports at this stage, only AFL, Rugby League, Cricket, Basketball, Tennis and Soccer. But the few games they provide odds for, we found their odds consistently higher than the likes of Sportsbet.

Few Features

One of the features BetGalaxy provide is multis, up to 20 legs. While this works great with their high odds and fast website, it would be great to see more betting options included soon like same game multi and quaddies. There is also no punter assistance features like tips, form guide or speed map.

Responsive Support

BetGalaxy only have the option for live chat (or email from their chat) with their customer support, but it is very responsive. You normally receive a response within minutes (8am-10pm we've noticed) and there is none of the annoying talking to a robot for 15 minutes before they get a human.

WellBet Rating

Great For Beginners

WellBet is another new betting site in 2023 that is optimised with the BetCloud software. WellBet is a user-friendly site that is easy on the eyes and fast performing. There are few markets to bet on including all Australian racing and popular sporting codes - AFL, NRL, Tennis, Soccer, Basketball and Cricket. The simplicity of the website and lack of markets make it easy for even the least tech savvy to get a bet on.

Competitive Odds (Racing & Sport)

The few markets that WellBet provide, they do it properly and offer superior odds to most other betting sites that we review. This is uncommon for a new betting site competing with the more well-established household name brands.

Lack Of Betting Options

Although the odds are good, WellBet currently offers few markets on their betting offerings. There are no player markets to bet on in sporting matches including no goal markets, no same game multi and no quaddies in racing.

No Racing Extras

The WellBet website is flash, but it is missing the extra features that we have become accustomed to. Including, live streaming, speed map, tips, race overview, yard comments and form guide. WellBet only use their fixed odds, so their is no Tote products available like Top Fluc or Best of the Best.

Constantly Improving

There is still plenty to like from WellBet and as they are constantly growing, we will see more markets and racing features soon. The website/app is fast and well-equipped for more applications and markets that they are working hard to bring punters soon.

BetGalaxy Rating

Expert Tips & Insights

Betr provides extensive sporting insights on popular games to help give you an edge, including - verified expert punter insights, player insights (how players have performed lately and against the team they are playing), betting trends and their price fluctuation since the market opened, live ladder and more.

Top Promos

Betr launched with some outrageous odds on certain races and matches which quickly caught the attention of all punters. While they obviously can't keep up the ridiculous initial offerings, they still have the foot on the gas and continue to give their customers the best promos in the country.

Racing Features

While betr is missing some racing features including live streaming and black book, they have plenty of in-depth racing insights to help inform punters, including short form, punters tips speed map and race overview on all Aussie thoroughbreds.

Many Markets

Betr specialise in Australian racing and popular sport, but they also offer plenty of international racing from Asia, Europe and the Americas, and plenty of less-mainstream sports including darts, handball and snooker.

Big Ambitions

Betr have not kept it a secret their plan to grow into one of the biggest bookmakers in the country. Owned by former Sportsbet genius Matt Tripp, ASX-listed BetMakers and News Corp - Betr is continuing to grow aggressively and become more independent from their corporate overlords by taking over PointsBet, and with sights on TABcorp.

MidasBet Rating

Best of 3 Tote Odds

MidasBet offers punters Best of 3 Tote win odds for all Australian thoroughbred races. This means that you'll always have the option to get the best tote price for your runner. Punters can also take the Middle Tote place price for all Australian meets. For international gallop races and all greyhound meets, you'll get Vic Tote win and place options as well as fixed odds prices. For harness racing, you'll always get at least Mid Tote odds in Australia as well as fixed odds.

Top Fluc & Fixed Odds

Along with tote odds, MidasBet offers fixed odds prices for all Australian meets. These are competitively priced and you'll often find that one or two runners have the best prices at MidasBet. Top Fluc odds are also always available for local thoroughbred races. Many of the more popular international meets also have fixed odds prices at midasBet.

Futures & Exotics

If you're betting on Australian racing (gallops, trots and greyhounds), a full suite of exotics options are offered at MidasBet including Quinellas, Exactas, Trifectas, First Fours and Quadrellas. MidasBet also offers futures markets for the biggest local and international races every year including things like the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, The Everest and Cox Plate.

Australian-Owned Since 2022

MidasBet launched on July 8th, 2022 making it one of Australia's newest bookies. Being locally owned is also a huge positive for us as it means the MidasBet team is small, knowledgable and invested in making your betting experience great.

Clean, Simple & Easy To Use

MidasBet is built on GenerationWeb which means it is well optimized for both desktop and mobile betting. While you will have no trouble getting through the MidasBet menu to find your bets, we would've probably chosen a different headline or font style as it can sometimes be hard to hard text on the screen. MidasBet also doesn't have a search bar which would be a great addition to what is an almost pain-free betting experience.

DaveBet Rating

Australia's Biggest Betting Bookie

Dave Dwyer earned his title as "Australia's Biggest Betting Bookie" by not shying away from big bets by punters on the course. While the corporates also take big bets, unlike them Dave doesn't restrict winners with racing products and promotions, and gives everyone have a fair go.

Best of the Best & Top Fluc

DaveBet offers competitive fixed odds on all Australian racing across the three codes and some international racing. Furthermore, DaveBet offers top racing products, including Best of the Best, on all metro thoroughbred races on Wednesday and Saturday, and Top Fluc at other races during the week.

100% Australian Owned

DaveBet is the trading name for David Dwyer Bookmaking. Dave has been a NSW bookmaker for over 20 years and all profits or losses, come and go directly to Dave, not the shareholders for some overseas conglomerate.

Instant Withdrawals by Request

The team at DaveBet process withdrawals three times a day with Osko. If you don't want to wait that long, simply give Dave a call and they will process it immediately for you.

Racing Only & No Features

DaveBet only provides racing markets and no sport. There is no exotic markets including first 4, multis or quaddies. DaveBet is also missing racing features that you'll find at larger bookmakers such as form guide, speed map, race overview and live streaming.

ReadyBet Rating

A Bookie Run by Pros & for Pros

ReadyBet is run by a couple of experts in punting (Mark Rhoden & Cameron O'Brien) that have had long careers in different aspects of betting - including bookmaking, trading at Sportsbet and as an analyst. More importantly, the pair have spent a long time as professional punters and knowing the frustrations of getting banned, they do not ban winning players.

Unique Racing Odds

ReadyBet price many runners on thoroughbreds themselves and not follow the markets, so quite often you will find top odds on certain races. They also release some of their odds early and provide odds on some future races.

Expert Racing Tips

The guys share their infinite wisdom with tips on all Australian thoroughbred racing. The tips are written casually with some jargon in their thought process on how they price their runners, but it is more transparent than other bookmakers.

Same Game/Race Multi

ReadyBet provides punters with solid same race, and same game multis on a wealth of sports including NHL, NBA, NFL, Ice Hockey and more. In popular codes like AFL and NRL, the same game multi markets are extensive including options for all players to kick a goal or score a try.

Less Features than Competitors

Like all BetMakers brands, ReadyBet provides some flash features, but they are all racing focused on ReadyBet - including live streaming, form guide, speed map and fluctuations. There is no sporting insights, and the layout is very "safe" and uninspiring compared to other BetMaker brands.

Swiftbet Rating

Top Tote & Top Fluc Odds

For all Australian thoroughbred races, Swiftbet gives punters Top Tote and Top Fluc odds options meaning that you can always lock in a valuable price for your runner. This is a pretty standard offer with new online bookmakers today but is still well-appreciated.

Experienced Bookies

Founded by Morgan Payne (owner of justhorseracing.com.au) and Anthony Jupp (experienced Melbourne-based bookie) in 2022, Swiftbet brings the versatile and hands-on experience of its owners to a new bookmaker. These blokes know what punters want including good prices, form info and quality customer care.

Thousands of Sports & Racing Markets

Swiftbet has approximately 5,000 different weekly racing markets including futures and international meets for thoroughbred, harness and greyhound events. They also set odds for major and minor sports like AFL, NRL, soccer, basketball, darts, snooker and several others. The biggest of these events have Same Race and Same Game Multi options.

Quality Customer Service Team

With a small team of individuals who have an intimate knowledge of Swiftbet's operations and whose jobs depend on the success of Swiftbet you can bet on Swiftbet treating all of their customers respectfully, fairly and responsibly. This is what we have found so far and even though they don't have a phone support line they were quick to respond and always solution-orientated when we chatted with them.

Speedmaps, Form & Streaming

While some of the most modern and arguably useless features like the ability to chat with mates or filter runners are not available on Swiftbet they do offer popular extras for racing punters like form guides, international streaming and speedmaps.

BetBetBet Rating

BoB Odds on Metro Saturdays

During the week BetBetBet will give you fixed, Best Tote + SP, and Top Fluc odds for your racing bets plus on the weekend they offer Best of the Best odds on metro races. Combine this with exotics, form guides, official price flucs, and the fact BetBetBet shows their margin for every racing market, and what you get is a (nearly) complete racing book guaranteed to provide value for Aussie punters.

Doesn't Restrict Winning Players

We rate BetBetBet's customer care very highly and love the policy of not limiting or restricting winning players. Of course, a phone line would give them perfect marks in this respect but otherwise, we've had nothing but positive interactions with the blokes at BetBetBet.

(Minimum) Twice Daily Withdrawal Processing

Being a small new betting operator means that the BetBetBet team doesn't have all the same procedures and systems in place as some of the bigger bookies. This is not something you'll generally notice but when it comes to something like withdrawal processing, BetBetBet has committed to processing requests twice per day however whenever they have down time they will make a point of processing any new requests - this means that you'll likely get your money faster than at any other bookie.

No Apps but Optimized for Mobile

It's worth pointing out that BetBetBet doesn't have downloadable iOS and Android betting apps. However, courtesy of Generation Web, their betting site is optimized for mobile so you'll have no usability or speed issues if you want to bet with your phone.

15+ Sports Betting Markets

While BetBetBet clearly focuses on racing, they also offer markets for 15+ sports from soccer and footy to golf and snooker. You should only expect a variety of markets and features like Same Game Multis for the biggest events though.

Dabble Rating

Social Media-Style Bookmaker

It will become pretty apparent after downloading the Dabble app that this new bookmaker is not like the rest of them. Dabble's aim is to make betting more social and interactive, which put off traditional punters, but we appreciate the fact that they are not like everyone else. Of course, dabble can still be used as a regular Australian betting website as well.

Scroll Fixtures to See Popular Bets

One of Dabble's most unique features is called the 'Fixture Feed'. Here you can see the bets other punters are making on any given fixture so you can see which bets are the most popular, and why, and then if you want, you can copy their bets.

Banter with Mates & Fans

Dabble has a chat/feed feature for every fixture, as well as the opportunity to chat with other fans, punters or your mates who also use the Dabble app. This makes the whole betting experience more entertaining, and more accountable, and not many other bookmakers offer this kind of interactive experience.

Plenty of Well-Priced Markets

It needs to be said but Dabble isn't just filled with gimmicky features. Dabble offers both sports and racing odds for most Australian and many popular international events. While Dabble's prices aren't always market-leading, they do have plenty of markets that are. With Dabble you can bet on all three racing codes, popular sports like AFL, NRL and soccer as well as less-popular sports like golf, tennis, motorsports and plenty more.

Quality Customer Support

Dabble has 5 different offices around the country and their employees work out of these, and remotely. The result is that their customer service team is happy, friendly and local which has left an positive impression on us every time that we contacted them.

GetSetBet Rating

Backed by Swopstakes

Owned by the company that runs the popular sweepstakes betting platform Swopstakes and built on the reliable BetMakers betting software, GetSetBet has all the potential to grow and become an even more popular online bookmaker. GetSetBet offers all domestic racing options as well as all of the pre-match sports markets you'd expect.

Streaming, form & race comments

International racing streaming, racing form guides and expert comments for bigger thoroughbred and greyhound events are all available at GetSetBet but when it comes to other features like cash out, social betting options, sports streaming, live phone betting and others you will have to turn to another new online bookmaker.

Futures & multis

GetSetBet offers traditional futures options for things like the AFL Grand Final, NRL Grand Final, FIFA World Cup, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate and several other marque events on the yearly sporting calendar. You can also place cross-code multis on any event or same game/race multis on the most popular leagues and racing meets.

Fast withdrawals

Unlike other betting websites, GetSetBet processes withdrawal requests twice per day which means that you should always get your money within 24 hours (on a business day).

Top-notch customer care

Based in Australia with years of experience through Swopstakes but also on the track, the GetSetBet support team is fast to respond, focused on solutions and overall is friendly and polite.

Colossalbet Rating

Huge Amount of Racing

A racing focused website, Colossalbet lives up to its name by offering a colossal amount of races with competitive odds. With Colossalbet you can punt on any Australian racing across, and plenty of international races in UK, USA, France, Japan and more. If you don't like their odds, they also Best Tote + SP on all Australian thoroughbreds.

Colossalbet IQ

Colossalbet gives you many personalised daily tips based on your interaction with the site. The tips are written in layman's terms with a straightforward justification of the tip. E.g. "Kimble won its last race by 4 lengths. It is running the same track and distance today".

Many Sporting Markets

Colossalbet provides betting markets in 20+ sports, with plenty more leagues to bet on in popular sports like Soccer and Basketball. In popular leagues like EPL and NRL there are many more markets to bet on including all players to score a goal, and all players to score a try.

Same Game Multi

Same Game Multi is available for NRL and AFL games with many stat markets available, including goals and disposals in AFL. Same Game Multi's are unable to be combined into a larger multi with Colossalbet.

Racing Features Only

Colossalbet provides a few racing features including form guide, speed map and tips. While the tips function is well written, they are missing further features like live streaming, race overview, and there are no sporting insights.

BoomBet Rating

High Racing Fixed Odds

BoomBet's definitely a racing first bookmaker meaning that they put their efforts into having a wide range of racing bets and quality racing products. BoomBet's fixed odds across all three codes and even international races are among the most competitive in Australia and you'll also find that most markets offer Best Tote + SP or Best of the Best odds.

Quality Apps & Quick Payments

As one of Australia's newest betting sites, you'd expect quick payment options and optimized applications. BoomBet offers both of these things and while their payment methods are somewhat limited, their withdrawal times are among the quickest we've experienced in Australia.

Modern, Fast & Simple

It's all very well to say BoomBet is modern fast and simple but what does that mean? It means the BoomBet app loads quickly, it means that BoomBet employs intuitive and easy-to-read navigation and design and it means that BoomBet doesn't dilute the betting experience with unnecessary extras and features. Sure the overall lack of sports options, no same race/game multis, and poor live betting experience may be off-putting but if you're a purist who cares about quality odds you'll be more than satisfied.

Rebranded from sportsbetting.com.au

While BoomBet is new they aren't inexperienced. The successful sportsbetting.com.au brand operated for over two decades before becoming BoomBet. I.e. they know how to give Aussie punters a quality betting experience that will keep them coming back.

Quality Support with Social Options

BoomBet is Australian-owned which means that the customer support you'll get is from other Aussies based in Australia. BoomBet's team can be reached through email, phone, live chat, Facebook, or Twitter. Everybody we've chatted to from BoomBet has been helpful, fast to solve issues, and friendly.

WinnersBet Rating

New Betting Sites in 2020

Since going live in June 2020, WinnersBet has grabbed the attention of many punters looking for the hottest new products to hit the market. WinnersBet's freshness is both good and bad with the bookie offering a clean, well-optimised product but fewer payment options, features, and sports betting options than some of the old guys.

Best Tote Odds

WinnersBet gives Aussie punters the best tote odds for all Aussie gallops plus a protest payout promise whereby you'll get paid out as a winner even if a protest is upheld and your runner is later relegated. Overall, we've found that Winnersbet is one of the most generous new bookmakers Australia has.

100% Aussie-Owned

Founded by veteran Australian bookie Da He, WinnersBet launched in Melbourne and is a great option for players who want to keep their bets in Aussie hands. The majority of new, and older, betting sites in Australia are now owned by overseas conglomerates so WinnersBet's local ownership is a big drawcard for us.

Small, No-Nonsense Bookie

The benefit of choosing a small betting site like WinnersBet is that you won't get features and offers shoved down your throat, instead, Winnersbet strives to provide players with a clean, no-frills betting site that makes depositing, betting, and withdrawing money simple and fast.

Great for Local & International Racing

WinnersBet has a clear racing focus but this means that any player looking to bet on Aussie or international thoroughbred races, harness races, or dogs will have a wealth of opportunities through WinnersBet. You're very unlikely to find a horse racing market missing from WinnersBet and you'll also find all fixed odds, tote odds, and exotics available.

LynchBet Rating

Family-Owned Business

Grant Lynch has been an on-course bookmaker for over 20 years and is the leading bookie at Kembla Grange and Newcastle racecourse. Grant runs a small operation, but his team are loyal and most have been part of LynchBet for 10+ years.

Best Tote + SP and Top Fluc

LynchBet provides markets for all Australian racing for win, place, trifecta and first four. The fixed odds LynchBet provides are competitive, but they also give the option of Top Fluc and Best Tote + SP on some races.

Personalised Service

Grant likes to build relationships with his clientele, and will likely try and call anyone who signs up to say g'day. While this may not be for everyone, Grant wants his customers to know he is personally available for them by phone, text or email.

Fast Withdrawal Times - 30 mins

LynchBet uses Osko for withdrawals twice a day, and more often during downtime. We found each withdrawal to be completed within 30 minutes.

No Sports or Features

LynchBet is only same day racing with no future betting or sports betting of any kind. The LynchBet website has betting only, so you won't find any live streaming, form guide, expert tips or other features punters have come to expect.

Pendlebury Bet Rating

Sydney's Longest Serving Rails Bookie

Anyone semi-familiar with the New South Wales betting scene will have probably heard the Pendlebury name. Jeff Pendlebury began his bookmaking career on-track in 1968 and while times have changed, and he has taken part of his business online, he remains one of Australia's most respected and honest bookies.

Top-Notch Fixed Odds

Pendlebury Bet's biggest selling point is its fixed odds, more specifically, its fixed odds on mainland Australian races. While no online bookmaker always has the best odds, Pendlebury Bet consistently offers the best price for several runners in every meet.

Starting Price Guarantee

Pendlebury Bet also offers a Starting Price Guarantee on every mainland gallop race in Australia as well as having Best Tote and Top Fluc odds on almost all meets.

A Bookie That Values Every Player

Run by Jeff, several members of his family and other people close to the legend himself, Pendlebury Bet is a small operation with a real focus on their clients. This is something you tend to see with very small bookmakers as they need to go above and beyond with their customer service to compete with the features and extras offered by corporate bookmakers.

Missing Many Features/Markets

It has to be said but Pendlebury Bet does not offer sports betting, esports betting, or novelty betting (like politics and reality TV shows). Nor do they offer extra features like Same Race Multis, Cash Out, Live Streaming, Phone Betting, Speedmaps, Form guides or really anything else most other bookmakers have.

RealBookie Rating

Market-Leading Odds for Favourites

RealBookie's mission is to help Aussie punters take on the big corporate bookies by constantly providing some of the best odds on the market. This is especially true for fixed odds favourites in their sports and racing markets. RealBookie also has Best of the Best and Top Fluc odds for most domestic racing meets.

5x Daily Price Bumps

With over 5,000 weekly racing markets and all the biggest sporting events, there's plenty of value to be had with RealBookie. They are missing some smaller sports markets if you compare them to the likes of Sportsbet and Bet365 but you will get 5 daily price bumps for racing which sweetens the deal.

Live Streaming & Multis

RealBookie is one of the few small betting sites to offer free local racing streams through RealBookie TV which is a big plus in our books. Another thing we appreciate is that RealBookie has Same Game/Race Multis options for all the racing and sporting markets you would expect eg. soccer, AFL, US sports, and domestic meets.

Decades of On-Course Experience

With Melbourne-based bookies Mark Sampieri and Chris Lester at the helm, you'll get plenty of experience from Real Bookie. This includes all the form guides and runner info you'll need, weekly tips from experts, and a fast (although a little limited) payments process.

Weekly Tips & Local Support

RealBookie's operations are headquartered in Melbourne with all staff having an in-depth knowledge of sports betting and their product. This means you'll get quality, attentive support and help should you need it.

CrossBet Rating

Responsible, QLD-Based Operator

CrossBet has been active online in Australia since 2020 but its founders have been in the bookmaking game for decades. Like many locally-owned bookies, CrossBet takes punting seriously encouraging users to set a deposit limit and gamble responsibly. CrossBet also has a betting licence in Canada so you can tell they are serious about growing giving punters a quality betting experience.

Protest Payout & Live Streaming

Many online bookmakers offer punters a protest payout (meaning if your horse is relegated or promoted following a dispute you will get paid out as the winner) but not all new betting sites have this so it's definitely a pro. While CrossBet doesn't offer cash out yet they do have live racing streaming for international meets, another pro in our books.

Sharp Odds on Racing

CrossBet competes with some of the most generous betting websites when it comes to their fixed odds prices. Depending on the day, you can expect to find some of the best-priced runners on CrossBet. For Australian gallops, CrossBet also offers Best Tote odds.

Same Game/Race Multis

For punters looking for a bigger payout, there is a solid range of same game/race multi options across all major racing meets, and Australian and international sports. CrossBet covers major markets footy, soccer, cricket, rugby, and UFC as well as a handful of smaller sports like tennis, volleyball and even politics.

24/7 Live Chat Support

One of CrossBet's biggest selling points is their customer service. With 24/7 support via live chat and email plus a phone number, there are plenty of ways to get help if you require it.

Robwaterhouse.com Rating

Extensive Range of Racing Meets

With 5,000+ weekly racing markets from across Australia and an impressive number of international meets, there is certainly no shortage of races to get stuck into at Robwaterhouse.com.

Updated Speedmaps

RobWaterhouse.com has new and improved speedmaps as well as form information for all Australian mainland races. This is pretty standard but not every new bookie offers this so it's still worth mentioning.

Same Game/Race Multis

Rob Waterhouse gives punters both Same game and Same Race Multi betting options. These are restricted to main markets for sports because RobWaterhouse doesn't have a wide range of sports markets available but again, it's not something you would expect every new small bookie to offer so it's a plus in our books.

Top Tote & Exotics

RobWaterhouse.com has Top Tote odds for almost all Australian gallops meets as well as all the major exotics markets including quinellas, trifectas, first 4s and exactas.

$1 Minimum, $25,000 Max Payout

Again, a pretty standard $1 bet minimum and $25,000 maximum bet payout applies to most RobWaterhouse.com markets. As you might be guessing, RobWaterhouse is by no means outstanding but they have plenty to offer any punter looking for a new bookmaker.

PlayUp Rating

The Best New Betting App

Even though it's Australia's newest betting app, the PlayUp sports betting app is one of our favourites. It's fast to load, easy to navigate and makes depositing, betting and withdrawing a breeze. You'll find heaps of racing bets, live bets and fixed-odds sports bets on the PlayUp app, and with great promos to increase your payouts, we think that every Aussie punter should have the PlayUp app.

The Best Fixed Odds

PlayUp consistently has the best-fixed odds for Australian and international horse races and sporting events. While they do have fewer obscure betting markets and fewer sports to bet on compared to some other Australian betting sites, you will still find every Aussie horse and greyhound race on PlayUp as well as all the most popular sports betting leagues from cricket, footy, rugby and soccer to Esports bets, US sports and more.

Top Horse Racing Betting Site

With the best-fixed odds and heaps of Australian and international racing events every day, PlayUp is a great option for racing punters.

Great for Live Betting

PlayUp has over 40,000 live sports matches to bet on every month which means that you'll likely find every live bet you could ask for on PlayUp. Like all Australian bettings sites, new and old, you can only bet live over the phone using PlayUp's phone betting line.

One of Australia's Newest Betting Site

PlayUp was launched in October 2019 which makes it one of Australia's newest betting site. On top of this, PlayUp is 100% Australian owned and operated. PlayUp also has a fantasy betting site in Draftstars which is Australia's biggest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) site. PlayUp plans to become listed on the ASX and they are also talking about revolutionising betting payments by offering the world’s first fully-integrated, blockchain-enabled sports community with their PlayChip currency.

BetDogs Rating

100% Greyhound Focused

As the name suggests, BetDogs is a greyhound betting site with no sports or horse racing odds. In fact, it is the world's first bookmaker of its kind. This means you'll get a focus on great prices, plenty of info, and no nonsense betting features.

Best Greyhound Odds

BetDogs consistently has Australia's best fixed greyhound odds. While not every dog will always have the best price, overall, BetDogs beats all the other big corporate bookies. For selected races every year, BetDogs also offers Best Tote & SP odds. For international races in New Zealand, it's common that BetDogs offers Mid Tote + 5% prices.

High Limits & No Restrictions

One of BetDogs' major points of difference is the fact that they will never ban a punter from betting. Sure, single bets may be capped to ensure BetDogs has enough liquidity for a certain race but if you're a winning player you won't be treated any differently.

Honest & Australian-Owned

BetDogs is owned by Tristian Merlehan (who also owns TopSport) and is maintained by a small team of Aussies in Tweed Heads, NSW. BetDogs also shows their own bookmaker margin for every greyhound racing market.

Jump Style, Early Speed, & Racing Line Info

As well as great prices and honest bookmaking, BetDogs displays Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line information for every runner in every Australian race. Admittedly, BetDogs is lacking an app and many other features of the bigger corporate bookies but they have plenty of redeeming features for any greyhound-minded punters.

LucasBet Rating

Reliable Betting Operator Since 1949

LucasBet is a racing specialist that has had a passion with racing for decades. Leo Lucas the founding bookmaker for Lucas Racing began working in 1949 and passed the trade down to his son Luke, who has since got his son Leon on board. Now in the third generation of the family, LucasBet has brought their great odds and customer service online.

Best of the Best, Best Tote + SP

With LucasBet you can bet on all racing in Australia (horses, dogs, trots) with great odds, and a handful of international racing. On top of that, LynchBet also offers Best of the Best on all metro races Wednesday and Friday, and Best Tote + SP on all other races.

Personally Negotiate Prices & Promos

LucasBet know many customers feel invisible to the corporate bookies, so they aim for a dedicated personalised service where you can contact the decision-makers directly to discuss anything, including any promotions or prices.

No Live Streaming or Sports

LucasBet is optimised by My Track Price, and like other brands using this software has a simple look with racing betting only. There is no live streaming, form guide, speed map or race overview available on the platform, only betting markets and racing ones at that. There is no sport betting with LucasBet.

Continually Improving Online

Although the Lucas family had been taking bets for 3 decades before the internet was invented, they have only recently came online and are continuing their development into the digital world. That means they are looking at bringing more features in for punters soon, so watch this space.

Neds Rating

The Best New Betting Site for Racing

Neds launched in 2017 and was acquired just a year later by Ladbrokes. Part of the reason was because of how impressive Neds' growth had been, especially within the racing sector of the Australian betting industry. Today, we regard Neds as the top site for racing betting because of their in-depth stats and tips, their competitive odds, and because they offer a great range of payment methods.

An easy to use betting site and App

As one of the newest betting sites in Australia, you would expect good navigation and fast load times. Well, that's exactly what you get with Neds. Their simple orange and white colour scheme works well and their site is not plastered with promotions like other Australian betting sites. You can use the search bar or menu to get around the site and it is well optimized for scrolling on mobile. The betting process is simple and straightforward, as are the verification processes and payment processes.

A range of instant deposit methods

Choose from a range of instant deposit methods on Neds including PayPal, Visa, Master Card, or the Neds Card. You also have other quick options like POLi, Cash In, and Flexepin as well as Cheque, Bank Transfer, and BPAY if you so desire. Payments have no fee attached and can be made via the Neds site or betting app.

Build the Multis that you want

On Neds, you can build same game multis, same race multis, or multis across many different races and sports markets. Neds also has Blended Multi and Split Multi features which allow you to add multiple selections to the same legs in your multis.

A refreshingly good customer support team

Available via live chat, email, or on the phone 24/7, we found that Neds' customer support team was helpful, quick to respond, and very knowledgeable about Neds' betting site and betting app. This was refreshing given the sub-par customer support that exists on other Australian betting sites.

Picklebet Rating

Draftstars Rating

The Biggest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Site

Draftstars has been active in Australia since 2016 but it was acquired by PlayUp and re-launched in 2018. Since then, Draftstars has grown to become Australia's newest and biggest DFS site. You can play classic fantasy games on the Draftstars site and app but you can also play head to head matches or their unique Rapidfire contest.

Australia's Biggest Fantasy Prize Pools

Draftstars has Australia's biggest fantasy prize pools which is part of the reason it has become so popular in Australia. Draftstars competitions have different entry requirements which affect payout values but they range from free and low stakes games with smaller prizes to high stakes games with hundreds of thousands in real money to be won. Many prize pools are also guaranteed on Draftstars meaning that no matter how many other Aussies play you always have a shot at winning the big prize.

No Season Long Commitment

As a Daily Fantasy Sports betting platform, Draftstars' games last one match, round or game week long so there's no long-term commitment. You can change your team every week based on last week's performances and every week you'll have the chance to win the new jackpot prize.

Play with Friends or in Public Competitions

Draftstars lets you create private leagues or join public competitions. This means that you can play against friends or other Aussie fantasy coaches in real-money or no-money competitions.
