Picklebet

Brisbane-based company, Picklebet was launched in 2017 as 'Skrilla' by two esports enthusiasts - Damon Oudejans and Nick Heaney. Their goal was to combine next-generation betting technology with the growing interest in esports to provide the world's best esports betting experience.

They have well and truly achieved that goal and today offer daily odds for hundreds of different professional and lower-level esports events from CS:GO and Dota 2 to FIFA and Rainbow Six. In 2020 Skrilla, rebranded as Picklebet, and in 2021, they added a range of traditional sports betting markets to their portfolio making them one of the most competitive and fast-growing new betting sites in Australia.

Overall, Picklebet is the best esports betting site in Australia, has a well-designed and intuitive betting website and betting app, and offers a range of additional features like esports betting news, tips, previews, and live streaming.

It's clear to see that Picklebet puts a lot of effort into creating the best betting site and apps so if you're looking for a small betting site that cares about its customers, Picklebet is an awesome choice.

Esports betting isn't for every Aussie punter but it remains the fastest-growing segment of Australia's betting industry and Picklebet's specialty so it's only right that we expand Picklebet's esports offerings first.

Picklebet offers odds for more different esports than any other Australian betting site.

As you would expect, Picklebet's esports betting options include majors, minors, and smaller tournaments and matches for all the biggest esports events for games like CS:GO, Dota 2, and League of Legends.

Picklebet also has odds for esports like StarCraft 2, FIFA, King of Glory, Overwatch, Rocket League, Rainbow Six, NBA2k, Valorant, Hearthstone, Overwatch as well as selected Esports Motorsports and more.

The most popular esports betting options are all available on PickleBet with especially good odds for Match Winner bets, Line/Spread bets, Handicap bets, Total Games/Map bets, Outrights, Player Props, and Game Props.

As well as providing a safe and easy-to-use platform for betting on esports, Picklebet offers free to access live streaming options for big matches, daily betting news and tips, and the options to build esports multis.

Although Picklebet's esports focus is clear, with the addition of sports betting options early in 2021, Picklebet definitely leveled up.

Today the range of betting options at Picklebet is solid and includes top leagues and competitions for a range of sports including soccer, tennis, MMA, basketball, American football, cricket, rugby, Aussie rules, golf, boxing, baseball, table tennis, ice hockey and more.

Picklebet offers same game multis in popular sporting leagues including AFL and NRL.

The range of bets offered for each of these sports varies - for the biggest tennis, soccer, rugby, footy, and US sports you'll get a range of options like player props, handicaps, totals, and line bets whereas for some of the smaller sports offered you may only find match-winner and line/spread bets.

When it comes to Picklebet's sports betting features, there's not much to add except that they have a multi-builder which can be found in your bet slip when you add two or more selections.

Overall, Picklebet has a no-frills, simple approach to sports betting which should suit both casual and more serious punters. The only exception to this is the lack of horse racing odds at Picklebet - for this, we recommend Unibet, Bet365, or PlayUp.

The Picklebet app is one of the newest in Australia and with the 2021 addition of sports betting options it's already one of our favourites. It should also be noted that the Picklebet app is available for both Apple and Android devices.

Picklebet App Pros ✅

• Free for iOS & Android
• Designed with esports in-mind
• Fast to load & easy to navigate
• Multi-betting function
• Esports live streaming
• Consistent with desktop website
• Log in to view promotions

Picklebet App Cons ❌

• No live streaming for horse racing
• Promos are uncommon

Overall the Picklebet app makes placing bets on the go more seamless and straightforward with quick deposit and withdrawal options, fast log-in and betting processes, and intuitive navigation.

The Picklebet app is new and similar to the desktop website providing access to all esports and sports betting markets, betting tips, live streaming, promotions, and featured prediction contests making the switch from website to app easy for any existing customers.

Picklebet is new betting site that focuses on providing a seamless, no-nonsense betting experience so if you're looking for tons of betting features then Picklebet is not quite there yet.

Despite their relative infancy and focus on simplicity though, Picklebet does have a number of betting features like live streaming, a multi builder, same game multis, betting tips, and Pick'em contests that we do rate highly.

Picklebet live streaming is free for all users that are logged in and is available for most in-play esports events namely for CS:GO, Dota 2, and LoL. While the streams provided are often free to access through Twitch or other streaming services we appreciate having the ability to watch esports events through Picklebet as it makes following your bets easier and more exciting.

Most punters know and understand multi betting but for any noobs out there a multi-bet is when you combine multiple different single bets from different matches into one larger bet. All of your selections must occur for your multi to win but your odds are multiplied so that your winnings for placing a multi are higher than if you were to only place single bets.

Picklebet has a multi builder that lets you combine esports and regular sports bets together into larger multis for an increased payout.
