This is the list of all bookmaker reviews we have on our site. You can click the link to read a full review and learn everything there is to know about that particular bookie, or go directly to their site and see for yourself what they’re all about. We put the best Australian betting sites at the top of our list, so if you’re not sure where to go, those ones are a safe choice.

If we have determined that some bookie just isn’t good enough, we will say that straight away. However, each of the operators offers something specific, so before deciding where to bet, it would be best to take a look at our in-depth Australian bookmaker reviews.

The Experts Behind Our Reviews

All the reviews are created by our in-house experts, which guarantees consistency and quality. We don’t outsource any of them to third-party writers, meaning that everything you can find here is based on our own research.

Criteria We Use

We use the same criteria to review every Australian betting agency. That way, every operator gets equal treatment, and we have consistency across all our reviews. We explain below the most important factors we consider, such as security, quality of odds and mobile betting apps. But note there are many more minor things we also look into that aren’t mentioned here.

If you can’t decide whether a betting site is right for you, try examining the things we mention here. If a bookmaker checks most of these boxes, you can be sure they are solid.

• 

  Security

  The first thing we check when reviewing any betting site is whether they have a valid betting license issued by the Australian government. Unregistered bookmakers aren’t safe, so always double-check if you’re betting with a legal operator. We also check if a bookie has SSL encryption and all the usual player protection tools, such as self-exclusion and spending limits.

• 

  Selection of Sports and Markets

  Top Australian betting sites offer over 30 sports for betting, so don’t settle for anything less. They cover everything from the most popular leagues, like NRL, AFL, NBA and IPL, to the niche sports like darts and snooker. Best operators also have an abundance of betting markets, usually between 100 and 150 for popular NRL or NBA matches.

• 

  Quality of Odds

  It’s hard to definitively say what bookie offers the best odds since prices constantly change. However, we do the odds comparison test for every bookie just to give you an overview of where that particular operator stands compared to others. You should always conduct your own odds comparison test before placing any bet since that’s the only way to ensure you’re getting the best offer available.

• 

  Payment Methods

  Best bookies offer at least 5 or 6 popular betting payment methods, like Visa, MasterCard, POLi, BPAY, PayPal and Apple Pay. PayPal is probably the most convenient one, so if you see this payment method available at a betting site, you can be sure you’re dealing with a solid operator. We also test the deposit and withdrawal times so you know what to expect.

• 

  Mobile Apps

  Having native betting apps for iOS and Android is a complete must-have in today’s world. We take it as a big minus if a bookmaker still doesn’t have dedicated betting apps. Every app is tested for responsiveness and ease of use, so you won’t have to do it on your own. We also include the latest screenshots of the tested betting apps in almost every review.

• 

  Live Betting and Live Streaming

  In Australia, live sports betting is pretty complicated since punters must call a bookie to place an in-play bet. Regardless of this, we still examine a selection of live markets and the quality of in-play odds in our reviews. We also test live streaming and check the sports and racing coverage in case a betting site offers this feature.

Our Reviewing Process

These are the steps we take when reviewing any Aussie online sportsbook. You can follow these steps when assessing bookies on your own to avoid missing anything important. We check every part of a betting site, including betting bonuses, even though Australian laws forbid publically advertising any bonus related information.

The best thing about having a standardized review process is that it ensures all our reviews cover the most important things and allow us to make precise, data-based comparisons. Also, it makes our articles much easier to understand, even if you’re just starting with online betting.

Since so many options are available, it can be hard to decide what betting site to pick. Luckily, at AussieBet, we list bookmakers for everybody’s taste. We select the best new bookmakers, top live streaming sites, and the best betting providers for each sport and league.

Why You Should Trust AussieBet Reviews

With so many shady betting sites out there, it’s essential to find a trustworthy reviewer. Here are a few reasons why you should pick AussieBet as your go-to place for online betting reviews.

Thousands of Aussie punters trust our website to deliver them the best possible betting-related advice. If you’re still unsure whether to proceed, take a look at a few things we do well and a few other areas where we could improve so you have all the info necessary to make an informed decision.

Why You Shouldn’t Trust All Reviews

Unfortunately, not all online bet reviews are to be trusted. There are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet, and we list below a few of the most common reasons why some online bookmaker reviews aren’t reliable. If you notice any of these, we advise you to go and check other sources as well.

• 

  Bias

  We all have our personal opinions, so it can be hard to stay completely unbiased when reviewing online betting sites. That’s why we base our reviews on real-life data and make sure our experts cross-check each other work to ensure all our articles are completely objective.

• 

  Lacking Detail

  Since all betting sites offer more or less the same product, the details are what makes a world of difference. Sportsbook reviews that mention only general information and don’t cover any specific details are not to be trusted. You should look for articles that make claims backed with precise data.

• 

  Outdated Information

  Sports on offer, a selection of markets, live streaming coverage, and betting features are just some things that are constantly changing. The online betting market is very competitive, so operators always try to improve and release new features. That’s why it’s crucial always to have access to the latest information.

• 

  Malicious Intentions

  As we mentioned a few times before, you should avoid unregulated betting sites. You don’t have any protection when playing with them, which can lead to a situation where they simply refuse to pay you your winnings or mismanage your personal data. Unfortunately, some review sites still feature and recommend bookmakers like these.

• 

  Not Australia Focused

  Many betting review sites cover multiple countries, not only Australia. That means they don’t know the needs and habits of Aussie punters and usually offer just basic information. You don’t want to waste your time on info that’s relevant only to European or US punters. That’s why AussieBet is and always will be 100% Australian.

Conclusion

AussieBet is a 100% Australian betting review website with a long history of excellence. Our experts write reviews based on real-life data and findings from our own research. We list only licensed bookmakers on our site, so you can be sure that every betting site you see here is safe to use.
