Sportingbet Australia review
Sportingbet.com.au is expected to be rebooted as a new entity from the recently merged Crownbet and William Hill bookmakers in late 2018. The Stars Group entered the Australian market in the first quarter of 2018 acquiring a 80 per cent stake in Crownbet and purchasing William Hill outright. While it is yet to be confirmed it is expected that both brands will operate at the Sportingbet.com.au domain before the Spring Carnival this year.

Read about the old Sportingbet.com.au here
Sportingbet is one of the few reputable online bookmakers that Australian punters are allowed to bet with. They do a great job with Aussie sports, including NRL, AFL, and Australian horse racing. They offer a variety of promotions all year long, including free bets, deposit bonuses, and free contests with cash prizes.
Vig is standard for the industry, generally 5-10% depending on the type of bet you’re making. Betting apps are available for Android, iPhone and iPad, and they have a mobile version of the website for all other devices.
Sports & Available Betting Markets
Sportingbet offers daily Australian thoroughbred & harness racing, and greyhound racing as well. As an OZ focused bookie, they also offer hundreds of bets for NRL and AFL for every round. Of course they also offer A-league, cricket, F1, MMA, golf, tennis, and every other major sport you’d expect.
Beyond the typical Aussie sports, Sportingbet also covers the most popular sports around the world. This includes all of the best football (soccer) leagues, IPL, boxing, NFL & NCAA football, NBA & NCAA basketball, MLB, NHL hockey, volleyball, and nearly everything else you can think of.

Minimum & Maximum Wagers Amounts
Most standard straight bets (singles) have minimum wager amounts of AUD $1. Horse & greyhound racing starts at $2 per bet, and some exotics start at $2 as well. Maximum bet amounts depend on the type of bet you’re making. These will range between $500 and $25,000.
Sportingbet Deposits & Withdrawals
One of the things we like about Sportingbet is that they they accept Paypal. If you’ve ever bought anything on Ebay, you already have a Paypal account. If you don’t have one, a Paypal account is easy to set up and then it’s easy to move your money back & forth between different online bookies and your bank. There are also plenty of other banking options available at Sportingbet, as you can see below.

Mobile Betting Apps & Website
Sportingbet Android AppBetting apps are available for Apple iPhone and iPad, and Android smartphones & tablets. For other devices, Sportingbet has a mobile version of their website that is designed almost identical to the apps. So, even if players want to bet from their mobile devices, they are not required to download the apps. Apps are nice because they’re fast and easy to use, but they do eat up memory as well.
The Sportingbet iPhone and Android smartphone apps are cleanly designed, making it easy to navigate the betting markets. Odds use large fonts, making them easy to read as well. Placing bets from any full-screen smartphone is fairly simple.
From an iPad or any other tablet, it’s only easier. Of course the bigger the device, the bigger the buttons, text size, and betting slips.
Customer Service Phone & Contact Details
Sportingbet offers 24/7 live chat, email, and toll-free phone support. The support staff is well trained, and usually answer questions properly the first time. If using email, explain your query as clearly as possible.

Review Summary
Sportingbet PLC has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2002. The CEO of their operation is none other than Michael Sullivan.
Sportingbet Australia is a well respected and trusted online bookmaker. They make they life of an Aussie punter that much easier by having a website that is simple to use. Some bookmaker websites can be confusing at times, so I know I can visit and put my bets on with ease.
For Australian punters, the Sportingbet website is one of the best betting sites in terms of usability. Everything is neatly laid out in the sidebar so you can choose what sport you want to bet on. In the centre, there are upcoming races and then the day’s sporting events. This is especially useful for the impulse bettors that just want to have a crack at something straight off the bat.
We only promote online bookmakers the we personally bet at, and this is one of the best options for Australian punters.
