RobWaterhouse.com Review

The Waterhouse family has worked in and around the Australian bookmaking industry since 1898, making RobWaterhouse.com one of the most experienced Australian betting sites available today.

As we mentioned at the top, this experience hasn't always shown through at RobWaterhouse.com though. For the first two years of their time online, we recommended that punters avoid Rob Waterhouse. The site and apps were hard to use and crashed, payments didn't always go through on time, and there were just so many better options out there.

Since then though, RobWaterhouse.com has improved significantly. Courtesy of the BetMakers technology employed by the site and apps, Rob Waterhouse offers 5,000+ racing markets a week including Top Tote odds and exotics for all Aussie thoroughbred races.

Sports-wise, Rob Waterhouse isn't excellent but if you bet on any major codes like footy, soccer, cricket, basketball etc. then all the top Australian and international leagues are on offer at competitive prices.

Rob Waterhouse is not the best betting site in Australia, but if you want a new bookie, with a racing focus then we'd recommend giving Rob Waterhouse a go (we still rate them higher than around 175+ other Australian betting websites).

Plus, if you use the code MBS when making your first deposit then RobWaterhouse.com will be well worth your time.

Why we like Rob Waterhouse ✅

• RobWaterhouse.com offers 5,000+ weekly racing markets from all around the world
  
• RobWaterhouse.com now has updated speedmaps, form guides, and same race/game multis
• RobWaterhouse.com's minimum bet amount is $1 and the maximum internet payout is $25,000 (which is good for a small bookie)

Why we don't like Rob Waterhouse ❌

• Between 2020 and 2022, RobWaterhouse.com had many bug and usability issues
• RobWaterhouse.com doesn't have many smaller sports betting markets like player props

• Rob Waterhouse App
• Rob Waterhouse Betting: Racing
• Rob Waterhouse Betting: Sports
• Rob Waterhouse Payment Options
• Rob Waterhouse Contact Info
• Rob Waterhouse Betting Features

The Rob Waterhouse app is available in Australia on the Apple App Store for all iOS devices and the Google Play Store for all Android devices.

Made using the same BetMakers software as the Rob Waterhouse website, this app is solid, fast and reliable but as you would expect it isn't packed with the same level of features and functions as betting apps like Bet365, Neds and Palmerbet.

It should also be said that the Rob Waterhouse app is relatively new (which is why other bookmaker review sites say there is not a Rob Waterhouse app). It's also worth noting that in the short time that the Rob Waterhouse app has been available in Australia we have seen some major improvements with all the past issues that led to crashes and unprocessed bets/payments now resolved.

Rob Waterhouse App Pros ✅

• Free for iPhone & Android
• Fast, secure, reliable
• $1 bet minimum
• $25,000 max payout
• Aussie-owned
• Experienced bookie
• Best tote odds
• Speedmaps & full form
• Exotics & futures
• Same game/race multis
• Competitive odds
• International racing streaming

Rob Waterhouse App Cons ❌

• Limited payments
• Limited sports markets
• Somewhat controversial brand
• No phone betting
• Support not 24/7

You can expect one of the most extensive ranges of racing markets offered by any small Australian bookie at Rob Waterhouse.

Not only does Rob Waterhouse offer all Australian and NZ races across all three codes but you'll also get 20+ thoroughbred, 10+ greyhound and 5+ harness races from other intentional countries every day (depending on the season and when there are meets).

International racing meets always have fixed odds and starting price options, no matter the code as well as a simple form guide and same race multis (for gallops).

Australian racing meets also always have fixed odds, top tote win odds, and mid tote place odds as well as same race multis, exotics, full form guides and speedmaps. New Zealand races may or may not have exotics and tote odds but otherwise, they have the rest of the features mentioned.

Overall, Rob Waterhouse's fixed odds are competitive but not quite as good as PlayUp's or Unibet's.

Rob Waterhouse also offers racing futures for things like the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup, although there are not many 'less-famous' Aussie or international racing futures on offer.

Rob Waterhouse could certainly improve in these areas. Also, extra features like a racing Blackbook to save your favourite runners or a filtering option like Neds' to find the perfect type of runner you might want to back are missing.

Still, we'd recommend Rob Waterhouse for any Aussie punter that knows what they're doing and is looking to find value on any local or offshore race.

Rob Waterhouse never was, and still isn't a sports-focused bookie.

While Rob Waterhouse does have markets for around 15 sports (depending on the season), you'll only get a handful of markets for each (around 1 to 25).

Compared to sites like Neds, Bet365 and Unibet which can offer 200 plus betting options for the most popular events like the AFL, NRL, and soccer but also US sports, tennis, golf and much more, this is a bit disappointing.

It's not all bad though, Rob Waterhouse does offer simple same game multi options as well as futures for the biggest Australian and international leagues.

When it comes to odds, you'll see that Rob Waterhouse is competitive but certainly not a market leader. You can expect, standard $1.90 lines for applicable betting markets.

Notably, Rob Waterhouse doesn't offer esports betting options, nor do they always have markets for less-popular events like volleyball, table tennis, and darts.

For these reasons, the Rob Waterhouse sportsbook will do just fine if you're going to bet on main AFL or NRL markets but I'd still tend to bet on sports somewhere else.

We don't expect many payment options from small Aussie-owned betting companies like Rob Waterhouse. That means that we're not disappointed (nor are we pleased) to see that Rob Waterhouse only has a couple of ways to fund and withdraw from your account.

Rob Waterhouse doesn't offer PayPal, prepaid cards or other ewallets

In fact, Rob Waterhouse only offers standard payment methods like Card, POLi, BPAY, Bank Transfer/EFT, and Cash.

• Credit/Debit Card (Instant)
• POLi (Instant)
• BPAY (1-2 days)
• Cash (0-2 days)

Rob Waterhouse's minimum deposit amount is $10 and their minimum bet amount is $1.

Don't forget to use the code 'MBS' when making your first Rob Waterhouse deposit so that you don't miss out!

• Credit Card (1-2 days)
• Bank Transfer/EFT (1-2 days)
  

Rob Waterhouse's minimum withdrawal amount is $20 and their maximum payout per bet is $25,000.

• Live Chat: via app & website

Rob Waterhouse does not have a phone number (that we could find). Their customer support is also only available between working hours (we're not sure exactly when but they aren't available early in the morning or late at night).

Still, we found their team to be more friendly than expected (given the controversial nature of the Waterhouse name), and as well as the improvements we've seen in Rob Waterhouse over the years, this was one of the big reasons why we felt safe reccommending Rob Waterhouse to Aussie punters.

Rob Waterhouse has the basic features you'd expect from any serious Australian bookmaker including full form racing guides, same game/race multis, cash out, live streaming (of international racing only), and speedmaps.

This is more than other bookmakers in Australia but Rob Waterhouse is still missing extra (arguably more gimmicky) features like the ability to share bets with friends, save horses or events to your favourites and filter races to find your perfect runner.

Due to Australian betting regulations, we cannot advertise any Rob Waterhouse bonus to players who may not have an account yet.

Only players with an account can be shown promotions and bonuses by Rob Waterhouse. To see these you will need to be logged into your account.

After logging in, don't forget to use the code 'MBS' when you make your first deposit!
