The local offshoot of Irish gaming giant Flutter, Sportsbet is Australia’s most successful bookmaker and a business success story. In 2022 Sportsbet had a 48 per cent market share, nearly double that of ASX-listed Tabcorp and well ahead of smaller listed rivals PointsBet and BlueBet.
Sportsbet offers a full offering of local and international sports betting markets along with an extensive range of horse racing markets updated in real time. They also offer a great selection of casino games including more than 1000 slots. The app also allows you to set deposit limits and enable 2FA (2-Factor Authentication) as part of their Responsible Gambling features.
The Sportsbet website and mobile app are simple to navigate and clearly display featured markets and upcoming events at the top of the screen. The menu on the left of the site (expandable on mobile) is a quick and easy way to find a specific market, build a multi or access other Sportsbet features like Blackbook, Best Bet Tips, Cash Card and their Help Centre.
The odds on offer are competitive for most major sporting events but you may have to hunt around a bit for the best prices on some minor markets. Sportsbet also offers a few unique features such as their Same Game and Race Multi Builder function, Statistics, Insights, Tips and Live streaming for some of their sports markets. They even have a group feature called Bet With Mates where you can get together with mates (2 or more people) and pool your funds to bet on a sport or race.
