2025 AFL Premiership betting

It is customary for the two teams from the previous year’s AFL Grand Final to lead the early premiership markets, and it is no different this time around with Brisbane and Sydney at the top. Interestingly, GWS and Hawthorn both opened at single-figure quotes despite falling in the semi-finals in 2024, while some bookies also have Carlton among the top handful of contenders.

Many of the top AFL bookmakers will offer premiership markets all year round on this domestic Australian sport. This means when the AFL season concludes in late September, AFL betting sites will then have markets available on who wins the next season, and popular futures markets like the Brownlow Medal, Coleman Medal and who will make the eight.

The top AFL betting sites generally have apps available, with these able to be downloaded on iOS and Android smartphones, and giving you access to everything you could possible need at an online bookie. This includes all of the bookmaker promotions surrounding the AFL, full suite of bookie deposit options and even live scores.

One of the most popular additions at Australian AFL betting sites in recent times has been the addition of same game multis as a bet type. This essentially means you can put more than on bet on the same ticket, giving you some big payouts for relatively small outlays. This is just one way AFL bookmakers have continued to improve in recent times.

Bet types available at AFL betting sites

AFL is unlike almost any sport in the world to bet on as it has a multitude of options to wager your money on. Just about every category that has statistics recorded can be bet on prior to a match.

Wagering on most disposals, usually consisting of 12 players spilt into two separate groups, is one of the more popular bets. Other bets pertaining to possession tallies also exist, with totals of 20, 30 and 40 available to wager on with varying returns based on the player’s average and output.

First goal scorer bets are also commonly placed bet, whether it be first goal scorer for each team or the first goal scorer for each quarter, this bet keeps you on the edge of your seat until the first major is converted. Other bets pertaining to goals include most goals in which an individual player is selected to kick the most majors for the match, while three or more goals and even just the possibility of kicking a single goal for the match is available.

Other interesting statistical categories you can bet on include most tackles which splits players into two groups similar to most possession groups, total game score which has an over/under market, quarter by quarter leaders and most marks.

Once the match has commenced, however, the majority of the options dry up, with the regular head-to-head and line betting typically the only options unless it is a special occasion such as ANZAC Day, the Grand Final or a state derby where the medal winner bet will be available all throughout the match.


AFL football clubs

There are 18 teams in the Australian Football League — 10 from Victoria and two each from New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. That is set to change in 2028, when Tasmania will join the fray.

Tips for betting on Australian Rules Football

Finding value in AFL matches differs greatly from most other sports punters bet on, in that there are so many variables on which to bet on, and mitigating circumstances that can affect the outcome of a match.

Invariably the big matches throughout the year, such as the ANZAC Day game, the Western Derby and the Showdown may have a clear-cut better team that has a superior ladder position, but these emotion-charged matches do not always reflect where the two teams currently stand in the pecking order.

However, value can almost certainly be found if you are looking to delve into statistics and player averages.

You will often come across a player that for some reason or another matches up quite well against an opponent – especially a forward – and has made a habit of kicking bags of goals.

This makes for an astute most goals bet, and can sometimes derive extra value from the fact that not everyone is prepared to put the effort in to find a winner.


Deposit options at AFL betting sites

AFL betting site have got many different deposit options, with these ranging from debit cards, like Visa, right through to web wallet services, like Google Pay and Paypal.

Most AFL bookmaker’s deposit options are instant, so you can be betting within minutes, although some like bank transfers can take up to 48 hours to be processed, although these times have decreased markedly in recent years.

Some of the most popular payment options at AFL betting sites include:

Customer service at AFL bookmakers

Aussie bookies such as Sportsbet and BetOnline offer both phone and live chat customer service to anyone who is having trouble placing a bet.

The live chat is ideal for people on the go that want real-time knowledge that they can insert into their betting slip, but is only operational during their standardised hours, typically 9am to 10pm Eastern Standard Time.

The phone customer service gives punters who want the more personal touch the opportunity to speak to a real person in real-time. Note: due to live-betting legislation in Australia, it is only possible to place a live bet on a match over the phone.

The phone service for all Aussie online bookies is 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will be able to help you in every situation, including when the online site is down for maintenance.
