Old Gill Review

The animation and graphics for Old Gill are a bit whacky, seemingly inspired by Old Gill from The Simpsons. Despite the odd graphics, what Old Gill provides is solid and they mean business.

The app is very sharp and does the job with an overall user-friendly experience. Withdrawals are processed daily and customer service is 24/7 and generally very fast to reply. Responsible Gambling gets a mention both on the home screen and with a section dedicated to it in the links area offering Responsible Gambling Tools.

The racing offering is very extensive and you will be able to bet on all the races that major bookmakers typically offer. If you are a punter who likes their stats and racing analysis then you are best to look elsewhere. Their sports markets are also very shallow but given that Old Gill is new I expect this to improve.

Something to be wary of are the current online reviews on the App Store about Old Gill, which are almost all negative. The first animation you see when loading up the Old Gill app is a man smiling and crying at the same time. Maybe Old Gill has read his Apple Store reviews!

There are multiple complaints online of account closures with no notice on winning accounts and others claiming the sign up process is very difficult. While this is alarming, I personally had no issues with the sign up process and did not encounter a closed account. Also, racing odds provided by Old Gill aren’t flash. So if you are looking for value or bang for your buck then Gill is not your man.

It is also difficult to find any information about Old Gill with no FAQs or About section.

Old Gill offers a solid app that is lag-free. The graphics and colour scheme are a bit alternate and quirky but it works well and is appealing. It also doesn’t affect your punting experience.

It is simple and easy to navigate around the app. Pending withdrawals can be cancelled.

Recent additions to the app and betting in general include Same Race Multis, Same Game Multis, Blended Bets, and Quaddies. Old Gill also offers Protest Payout as well as the Best return out of all three Totes.

Promotions and offers are okay without raving. Loyal punters get rewarded.

Old Gill withdrawals are processed once daily in the afternoon Monday to Friday. They can take 1-3 business days to arrive but can appear that same night or generally the next business day. There is no exact cut-off time for processing but the rough time is around 3-4pm (without any guarantees).

There is a solid range of local and international racing markets available. Old Gill covers all meetings that major bookmakers typically do and more than what your usual non-major bookie would.

The sports options are a bit thin, with only around 8-9 sports available on offer at one time.

Much like other BetCloud bookmakers, Old Gill offers minimal race analysis on the app/website. This involves short and sharp comments such as ‘Consistent Performer, ‘Best Rated’ and so on. These comments should be taken with a pinch of salt and can at times be inaccurate.

There aren’t any tips as such and no speed maps, so there is plenty of room for improvement in this area.

There is no live streaming or betting on Old Gill.

Odds by Old Gill are just fair and generally slightly lower than major bookmakers. If you are looking for decent fixed odds then you are better off looking elsewhere.

The only way to deposit on Old Gill is with a debit card.

Old Gill live chat is open 24/7.
