Summary

Author: Jimmy Mason Jimmy Mason

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.

Summary

Author: Jimmy Mason Jimmy Mason

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.

Author: Jimmy Mason Jimmy Mason

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.

Author: Mason Kelliher Mason Kelliher

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary

Author: Mason Kelliher Mason Kelliher

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.

Mason Kelliher

It depends on what you consider 'new'. We've listed all the best bookies released in the last 6 years because new Australian betting sites are launched so infrequently. If you have already heard of these new bookmakers but don't have accounts yet then we recommend signing up or at least giving their sites a look.

With high odds and a simple user-friendly design, PlayUp is a great place to start but if you're looking for something with a little more going on then try Neds.

New Betting Sites

New Betting Sites Australia 2023

Australia has one of the biggest betting industries in the world which means that it's a very attractive place for new betting sites to set up shop. However, because of Australia's strict betting laws, all new betting sites in Australia need a gambling licence to operate legally.

This means that all brand new betting sites that have gone through the legal rigmarole of becoming licensed are serious, high-quality bookies.

We've listed all of the new sports betting sites in Australia (maximum 6 years old) above but you'll also find more detailed information about each site below. Also, directly below, you'll find FAQ's and all the benefits and drawbacks of new sports betting sites vs. old ones.

Frequently Asked Questions about New Betting Sites Australia

☝ What is the newest betting site in Australia?

The newest betting site in Australia is BetGalaxy. BetGalaxy launched in January 2023 and offers a fast, fresh, but still somewhat limited betting experience.

WellBet also launched in January 2023 and offers competitive fixed sports and racing prices.

Other new Australian betting sites include betr, MidasBet, Swiftbet, DaveBet, and ReadyBet which launched in 2022 as well as BetBetBet, Dabble, GetSetBet, Colossalbet, and BoomBet which all launched in 2021.

✨ Are there any brand new betting sites in 2023?

Yes! BetGalaxy and WellBet launched in January 2023 and can definitely be considered brand-new betting sites.

As long as you are an Australian resident and 18 years of age or older you can now use BetGalaxy at betgalaxy.com.au or WellBet at wellbet.com.au.

🥇 What is the best new betting site?

PlayUp Australia is the best new betting site - at least in our expert opinion.

We reckon that PlayUp takes the cake as the best new sports betting site because they have the best betting app in Australia (quick to load and easy to use), because they offer Australia's best fixed odds for racing, esports, cricket, US sports, and most other markets, and because they have plenty of live betting options. The PlayUp site is also really easy to use which makes it great for new bettors (or your grandma).

⏰ What makes a betting site new?

I guess that all depends on your time scale. If we are thinking about the history of the universe then it's probably fair to say that all Australian betting sites are new. However, if you are a pygmy gobi (a tiny fish found on the Great Barrier Reef) and your life is just 59 days long then I guess none of the betting sites we've listed are new.

We think it's fair to say that for us humans, new online betting websites are ones that were launched in Australia sometime in the last 6 years.

⚽ Are there any new football betting sites?

Yes! BetGalaxy, WellBet, betr, MidasBet, ReadyBet, and the other 18 new betting websites that we list on this page are all new football betting sites.

Whether you mean Aussie rules football or soccer, all three of these sites offer access to the top football leagues (the AFL, EPL, A-League, Champions League etc.) at well-priced odds. Neds and PlayUp have top footy and soccer odds whereas Draftstars has the biggest footy and soccer fantasy prize pools of any daily fantasy sports betting site.

✅ Why should I choose new betting websites?

New betting websites are great because they generally provide the best user experience, have the best apps, and offer unique betting features. New Betting websites are also worth signing up for because they are generally keen to attract, and keep new Aussies with some of the best bonuses and promotions and some of the best customer support teams.

For example, BetBetBet is popular because it is a small Aussie-owned betting site that's generous while PlayUp has Australia's best-fixed odds and best betting app. Draftstars offers the most comprehensive fantasy betting games and also has the biggest fantasy prize pools in Australia.

❌ Why should I avoid new online sports betting sites?

Older betting sites may be a better choice than new online sports betting sites because they tend to have more sports available to bet on, lower odds and can be more generous with their bonuses and offers - because they have more customers and therefore more revenue. Of course, this is not always the case but for example, Bet365 is known to have very high odds while Unibet is known to have a huge range of sports, racing and specials markets.

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.


BetGalaxy App

BetGalaxy is one of the best betting sites of 2023 and provides some of the best odds in racing and sport.

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.


WellBet App

WellBet is optimised by the evolving BetCloud software, has competitive odds and is constantly growing their markets and features every month.

Racing Features

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.


Midas Bet Australia Mobile

MidasBet doesn't have the most sports betting options or always the highest fixed odds but it is very new (July 2022) and it has fixed, tote, exotic and futures racing options for all Australian meets and many international ones

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.

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.

DaveBet does not have an app, but the site was designed specifically to easily place a bet on mobile. There is only same day racing to choose from, which makes it simpler to use.

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.


Ready Bet Australia App

ReadyBet's app and website is reliable and has a top selection of sporting markets, and plenty of perks for racing enthusiasts, including live streaming, form guide and tips.

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.


Swiftbet Australia App

Swiftbet offers all racing markets from Australia, New Zealand and Internationally that you would expect to find as well as odds for up to 20 different sports codes (depending on the season)

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.

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.


Dabble Australia App

Dabble has the potential to change the way Aussies bet with a social-media style bookmaking app that lets you chat, follow and copy the bets of other Aussie punters

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.


Get Set Bet Australia App

Like many other new betting sites GetSetBet uses BetMakers software for their site and apps ensuring a smooth and reliable experience for all punters

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.


Colossalbet Australia App

Colossalbet is more modern than it looks, with apps available on iOS and Android, and a great personalised tips service through Colossal IQ.

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.


Boom Bet Australia App

BoomBet excels for racing with great tote and fixed odds options but it's still worth a look at for popular sports as you can find alternative prices for many markets

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.

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.


Lynch Bet on iphone 12

LynchBet does not have an app and is racing only, yet Grant Lynch provides a personalised service where you can call him directly for any questions, issues, or to negotiate a promo.

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.

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.


Real Bookie App

RealBookie is not the most modern new betting site there is but with quality, local support, decades on on-course experience and features like tips, price bumps, streaming and same game/race multis it's a great option

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.


Cross Bet Australia App

CrossBet, like many of Australia's newest locally-owned bookmakers, is built using the BetMakers bookmaking software - this means that signing up, depositing, betting and withdrawing is safe, secure and fast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Best Esports Betting Site

The name may not give it away but from the beginning, Picklebet has had a strong esports focus. Today, Picklebet is without a doubt Australia's most comprehensive esports betting site offering odds for everything from major Dota 2, CS:GO, and LoL tournaments to smaller Rainbow 6, Rocket League, and Fortnite competitions. You'll also find a wide variety of well-priced sports odds on Picklebet.

Added Sports Betting in 2021

Even though Picklebet grew through esports betting, with the 2021 addition of sports betting options Picklebet is already challenging some of the more well-established corporate bookmakers. Some of these new sports betting markets include soccer, tennis, US sports, cricket, rugby, Aussie rules, golf, boxing, table tennis, and more.

Top-Notch Betting Apps

The Picklebet iPhone and Android betting apps are clean, fast, and simple to use making them some of the best new betting apps in Australia.

Daily Betting Tips, Live Streaming & Betting Contests

Picklebet offers punters a couple of great ways to make more informed bets including providing them with daily esports betting tips and free esports live streaming options. Picklebet's predictor games also give you the chance to win real money for correctly predicting the outcomes of major esports tournaments.

Small Aussie-Owned New Bookie

As one of the smallest new betting sites in Australia, Picklebet gives Aussies a chance to bet locally and keep their gambling dollars in the country. Australian-owned betting sites are known for their transparency and customer support - two things that Picklebet also stands out for.

Picklebet has a clear esports focus but with the addition of sports betting odds in 2021 we are expecting big things from this small Aussie-owned bookie

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.

Over 15 Different Sports Leagues

Draftstars is always adding new sports offerings to its options but it currently has 15 different leagues you can bet on. Popular fantasy sports on Draftstars are the AFL, NRL, EPL and Super Rugby although golf, tennis and cricket are also some of Australia's favourites.


Draftstars Australia App

Draftstars re-launched in 2018 and since then has grown to be Australia's biggest fantasy betting site

New Betting Apps Australia

With new betting sites comes new betting apps and as you would expect all of the new Australian bookmakers on this page have new betting apps too.

However, older betting sites also launch new betting apps from time to time. With that in mind, we've picked our top 3 new betting apps in Australia.

All (old and new) Australian sports betting apps are free for Android and iPhone devices. They can be found on the App Store for iPhone and either on the Google Play Store for Android or on the mobile betting website of your chosen new bookmaker.

We recommend creating a betting account online before downloading a betting app because the sign up/verification process is much easier online.

New International Betting Sites

Australia's strict betting laws are a big barrier to entry for new international betting sites. As such we haven't seen any new international players in the last few years.

That means that international betting sites tend to be the ones that have been active for a long time. Therefore in this section, we have only listed and expanded on the best new international Australian betting sites (even though we know that none of them are exactly 'new').

Bet365 also has the most payment methods of any Aussie bookie and offers both PayPal and Apple Pay for deposits.

Newest Betting Sites Australia - What to expect

If you're searching for new sports betting websites then you probably know what you're looking for but if you're new to the world of new betting sites then you might not know what they have to offer.

Below we've outlined the features that the newest betting sites tend to have as well as what we predict to see from brand new betting sites in the future.

What features do the Newest Betting Sites have?

📈 Unique Betting Markets

As we've already begun to see, the newest betting sites in Australia are offering bet types that we've never seen before. PointsBet lets you request your own bets with their Name-a-Bet feature and they also offer Spread Betting. Draftstars has opened Australia up to the world of Daily Fantasy Sports and also has unique fantasy betting games like their Rapidfire game. As the newest betting sites search for their niches and their own unique selling points we can expect to see exciting, new betting markets to bet on in the future.

📲 Great Betting Apps

The mobile betting industry is becoming more and more competitive every day and as the technology evolves so do Australia's betting apps. The newest betting sites tend to have this figured out with PlayUp, PointsBet and Draftstars all offering awesome betting apps. As the technology evolves we expect to see that the newest betting apps will allow payments from mobile devices through PayPal and Apple Pay. The number of betting apps offering fingerprint and Face ID login is also sure to grow.

🤳 The Best User-Experience

Unique betting markets and great betting apps already add to the user-experience of new Australian betting sites but there a few other things that the newest betting sites all have in common. The FAQs and help videos of newer betting sites tend to be much better than older betting sites'. The overall navigation, look and usability of the newest betting websites are also much better. This is because most new betting websites are optimized for mobile so they have ditched the busy spreadsheet design of traditional sports betting sites and gone with more 'scroll-friendly' pages.

🎁 Generous Bonuses

It is illegal for new betting sites (or any betting site in Australia) to offer signup bonuses, promotions or other inducements to Australians who are not already customers. Therefore we cannot tell you about the bonuses or promotions on new betting websites.

💬 Better Customer Support

It's not always the case, but we've found that the newest betting sites tend to have better, more helpful and more readily available customer support options. This includes live chat, email, and phone lines as well as thorough FAQ sections.

Neds same race multis

You can expect to see great features - like Neds' blended and split same race/game multis

What can we expect from Brand New Betting Sites in the future?

💷 Sports Betting Currencies

PlayUp and Draftstars have already announced plans to offer the world’s first fully-integrated, blockchain-enabled sports community with their PlayChip currency. What this means, I honestly don't really know, but we do know that it means you'll be able to bet with PlayUp's own cryptocurrencey. We've also seen some older betting sites, like Bet365, introduce their own Visa and MasterCards which make their deposits and withdrawals instant.

📱 Social Media Integration

Draftstars already has a live chat platform that allows you to banter with other punters playing in a given competition. We reckon that this trend towards social messaging might give us a few social media channels that are connected to some brand new betting sites.

🎮 Virtual Reality Betting

It's anybody's guess as to whether virtual reality will really take off or not but one place that you hear it pop up is the betting industry. We aren't quite sure what VR betting will look like but should it start to become popular you can expect brand new betting sites to offer it.

New Betting Site Offers

It is illegal for Australian betting websites to advertise sign-up bonuses or new customer offers to players who have not yet signed up.

This page is about new betting sites so if you're looking for any new offers from your old betting sites we recommend checking the Promotions, Rewards or Bonuses section of your existing betting account to see what new offers you have. You can also learn about betting site bonuses here.
