Betting Site Bonuses

PlayUp is a new betting site but is already one of Australia's best and most generous. We think that PlayUp is especially good for racing with Australia's best-fixed odds and on mobile with a fast, easy-to-use betting app.

✅ PlayUp is great for live betting with 40,000 live matches every month which can be bet on via PlayUp live phone betting line. PlayUp's odds are also great for both racing sports with especially good lines for the most popular leagues.

✅ PlayUp is one of Australia's newest betting sites and as such, it looks a little different from its competitors. PlayUp's betting site is intuitive to navigate, optimised for mobile users, and fast to load but we would love to see even more betting options, payments, and support options.

Moneyball began its life as a fantasy betting provider in 2015, but since then has become Australia's premier mobile-first online betting website with a fast, error-free, and easy-to-use app along with top multi odds no matter your bet.

✅ Self-proclaimed "Home of the Multi", Moneyball lives up to its slogan more often than not, providing better odds than other Aussie bookmakers for racing or sports multis with more than 3 legs. Moneyball also offers extensive same game multi options.

✅ Moneyball is owned and run by Aussies so they know what us punters want. You can expect a range of typical and custom markets from local and international racing to AFL, league, soccer, and cricket. Moneyball also offers cash out across all sports events.

BetBetBet is a small Melbourne-based betting operator with personal and generous customer support, fast daily withdrawals, and a quality racing offer.

✅ BetBetBet has Best of the Best odds on metro races, competitive fixed odds racing prices and they will never limit or restrict winning players trying to get a bet on.

✅ BetBetBet doesn't have an app, nor does it have extensive betting previews or sports markets but all popular events are available at good prices. BetBetBet's site is clean and their mobile version is well-optimized and responsive.

One of Australia's newest and most exciting bookmakers, MidasBet launched in July 2022 and brings us Best of the Best, Bet Tote, Starting Price, and Top Fluc odds for all major Australian races.

✅ MidasBet stands out for racing and has popular extra features like a Protest Payout, tons of futures markets, exotics, and a very strong selection of international meets.

✅ MidasBet also has Same Game Multis for soccer, rugby, and Aussie rules as well as futures markets for all the main competitions within these events. Overall, MidasBet is both generous and simple with only the markets and extras that Aussie punters want.

Neds is one of Australia's best racing bookies offering everything from Best Tote + SP odds on all Aussie races to many different special bets types and features like same race, blended and split multis.

✅ The Neds site is very easy to use with a simple orange and white colour scheme, an easy to navigate menu, and great mobile optimization. Neds accepts bets on all Aussie races, international races from 15+ countries and sports bets from 30+ different codes.

✅ Neds has plenty of top payment methods including Debit Card, Credit Card, PayPal, Apple Pay, POLi, and Bank Transfer. Their odds are also consistently high across the board although they do use the same odds as Ladbrokes.

After launching in 2020, WinnersBet quickly became one Australia's favourite new betting sites, especially for racing-minded punters who can still bet on all Aussie races at high prices but prefer to bet with a small operator.

✅ WinnersBet is a classic no-frills bookie with a huge range of horse and dog racing markets (all Australian and many international markets), high odds, and a solid selection of sports betting options for all popular leagues.

✅ WinnersBet offers features like the Best Tote odds on all Australian gallops plus protest payouts on all Australian horse races. If you want to bet local, Winnersbet is a great option but do be aware that they have no betting apps and are missing many sports options.

Booki has really come out of nowhere since its late 2021 launch. Without advertising or much other branding, Booki has become one of the most complete small Aussie-owned bookmakers with consistently high odds across both sports and racing.

✅ Booki offers Best Tote + SP for all Aussie races, VIC Tote + 5% for all NZ races and consistently strong fixed odds across all three racing codes, internationally and domestically.

✅ Booki has 24/7 Australia-based support, same game multis, futures, prop bets, a fast betting app and plenty of other generous extras. Overall, Booki is lacking a few features like filters, a search bar, and speedmaps, but otherwise, this is one of the hottest Australian betting sites right now.

Ladbrokes is one of Australia's most well-established and well-trafficked betting sites and rightly so. They offer plenty of racing features and markets and all Ladbrokes payments and account information is secured by 2048 bit encryption technology.

✅ Ladbrokes was founded in 1886 and has since become one of Australia's most trusted betting sites with a quality betting app, a good range of markets, and a couple of handy instant deposit methods like PayPal and Apple Pay.

✅ Ladbrokes' is racing offerings are up there with the best Australian betting sites and you'll find extensive fields for all three codes. Ladbroke's odds are competitive, their customer support is top-notch but they do share the same odds provider as Neds.

Betstar launched in 2007 making it one of Australia's oldest betting sites. Today it excels for racing with Best Tote + SP odds, special racing markets, a Protest Payout, and more. Betstar also is very competitive in sports betting.

✅ Betstar accepts wagers on all Australian races across all three codes and has full form guides, runner comments, and price fluctuation information. Betstar also has 30+ different sports betting options with 200+ markets per game for leagues like the AFL.

✅ While Betstar's odds are competitive and payment options are varied, Betstar's website and apps could use an update to improve speed and navigation. Also, Betstar's odds and markets are almost identical Neds' and Ladbrokes'.

Bookmaker has been active in Australia since 2013 and even though they have the least original name in the country, they have a competitive product, especially for horse and greyhound racing.

✅ Bookmaker has full form guides, runner comments, price flucs, special bets, same race multis, exotics, fixed odds, special bet types, a protest payout, and past the post payout for racing so is definitely not a small player.

✅ Bookmaker's app and website look a little outdated and aren't super easy to use but with a range of instant deposit options, friendly and helpful support, and competitive odds all-round you should be pretty happy with a Bookmaker account.

BlueBet is a small Australian-owned betting site that was launched in 2015 by veteran bookmaker Michael Sullivan. BlueBet is popular for punters who want to bet with a local operator that competes with the biggest bookmakers.

✅ BlueBet is great for racing with plenty of features like Same Race Multis, Best Tote + SP odds for Aussie gallops, a Protest Payout, quick multis and a range of bet types that includes exotics and special betting markets like favourite vs field or odds vs evens.

✅ BlueBet has competitive sports odds for a range of markets and they generally offer especially high odds for underdogs and futures markets. BlueBet is also really easy to use and has fantastic Australian customer service but we'd love to see even more features and markets.

Unibet is a great all-round betting site offering punters everything from live streaming to betting tips and previews through the Unibet blog, and features like cash out, a multi builder, and a live play-by-play interface.

✅ Unibet is a top site with competitive odds for popular sports like soccer, horse racing, cricket, and the AFL and NRL but they also have heaps of markets for special bets for things like elections, TV shows, and awards ceremonies.

✅ Unibet offers PayPal and Apple Pay payments which makes depositing and withdrawing from your Unibet account fast and easy. However, the Unibet app is pretty weak and definitely needs an update.

Launched in 2022, Swiftbet is one of a number of small new betting sites bought to us by on-track bookies looking to get a piece of the growing online betting market in Australia.

✅ Although Swiftbet isn't providing any exclusive markets or features you'll get speedmaps, same race multis, international racing streaming, Top Tote odds and local customer support

✅ For sports bettors, Swiftbet tends to offer between one and one hundred betting options including same game multis, futures and player specials - with more options available for more popular sports

The folks over at peer-to-peer sweepstakes betting platform Swopstakes branched out into the world of sports betting late in 2021 with the launch of their own sportsbook GetSetBet.

✅ While GetSetBet is certainly very similar to other brands at the lower end of our lists they do offer same game/race multis, a protest payout, speedmaps, racing form information and racing live streaming - features that are always appreciated.

✅ Three of GetSetBet's biggest selling points though are their really friendly support staff, quicker than average withdrawal speed and high maximum payout amount of $200,000.

With veteran Melbourne bookies Mark Sampieri and Chris Lester at the helm, RealBookie offers Aussies a local product with quality to support and enough extras to keep most punters happy.

✅ RealBookie has BoB and TopFluc odds for most Aussie races as well as competitive fixed odds - you'll often get the best prices for favourites with RealBookie. Also, expect one side of most sports lines to have better prices than the big bookies.

✅ RealBookie's support team is small, and based in Melbourne and we found that they were very helpful and attentive. RealBookie also offers racing streaming, price bumps, form guides, and Same Game/Race Multis.

Run by Wade O'Shea, son of Terry (Tex) O'Shea, TexBet has been online for just 2 years but has over 6 decades of experience to offer Australian bettors. TexBet has a clear racing focus but also has markets for most major and even some slightly less popular sporting events.

Bathurst's own online betting site, Southern Cross Bet has been operating by local bookie Mark Johnstone since 2004 with a focus on country and metro racing and quality service.

✅ Southern Cross Bet is one of the few betting websites to still offer phone support and betting making it still possible to have a personal relationship with your online bookie.

✅ Southern Cross Bet has betting apps, same game multis, and sports betting lines up to $2, all of which are certainly not expected from such a small betting site but are much appreciated by punters.

Palmerbet is one of the most well-known homegrown bookies thanks to their long history of offering competitive odds, many popular features, and their cheeky, honest marketing. And don't worry, Palmerbet has nothing to do with Clive Palmer.

✅ You'll find that Palmerbet often has strong odds including special $1.95 lines. Palmerbet also has a great range of special bet types including many player props, team props, futures options, and weekly specials, doubles, and triples.

✅ Picklebet rebranded in 2020 and since then has added a range of popular sports betting markets to their site making them a top choice for those who want to bet with a small Aussie-owned operator.

✅ Picklebet has the widest range of esports titles to bet on and they consistently have the best esports betting odds. Still, you will find many sports odds, payment options, and features missing from Picklebet.

One of the more controversial names in Australian bookmaking, there's no denying Rob Waterhouse is an experienced bookie with a clear racing focus and competitive pricing.

✅ Despite being one of the smaller online bookmakers, Rob Waterhouse has popular features like same game and race multis as well as recently updated speedmaps and full form guides.

With 50 million global customers and a huge customer base in Australia, Bet365 is Australia's, and the world's, favourite international bookmaker. This is hardly surprising given Bet365's high odds, wide range of live streaming options, and diverse betting offerings.

✅ Bet365 is a top site for live betting with more in-play markets than its competitors for more sports. You can bet live on Bet365 on everything from Aussie Rules to rugby, cricket, soccer, US sports, and much more.

✅ Bet365 offers Aussies the most betting payment methods including Apple Pay and PayPal which is great for getting money into and out of your account quickly. Bet365's website is pretty boring and may be a turn-off for some punters.

Dabble dropped as an app-only bookmaker in 2021. While its user base is still growing, this betting agency has the potential to change the way we bet, making everything a bit more social media-like.

✅ Dabble has an impressive range of racing and sports markets that should satisfy 95% of Australian bettors.

Quite probably the smallest betting site on this page, Pendlebury Bet is the online operation of Jeff Pendlebury's Sydney-based bookmaking service.

As both one of Australia's newest betting sites (launched in 2021) and one of Australia's most experienced bookies (previously operated for nearly two decades as sportsbetting.com.au), BoomBet offers a modern, fast, and to-the-point betting experience for all Australian punters.
