Sportingbet Australia are the biggest bookmaker in Australia according to Michael Sullivan, the CEO of the company. The Sportingbet brand is certainly one of the largest in the world, with this sports betting company having successfully penetrated a range of different territories and their Australian customer base is now growing at a rate of knots.
UK customers will vouch for Sportingbet’s excellent horse racing service and the same applies with Sportingbet Australia who offer a first class offering when it comes to thoroughbred racing, harness racing and greyhound sports. Developing an Australian version of their site also means that AFL, rugby and cricket take centre stage rather than be pocketed away on a one-size-fits-all stage.
We would recommend Sportingbet for several reasons, although the main one being their excellent In-Play betting service. You will do well to find a time when they aren’t covering something live on their site, with the range of sports and markets also strong in this department.

Wagering Requirement
- Bonus Bets will only be awarded on the first funding of the Client Account for the Join and Fund Promotion.
- A Free Bet may be placed on any Sports or Racing market available at the time of placement, however only one Bonus Bet (from any promotion) can be used per event or match.
- Bonus Bets are available only on win or place markets. They are not available on each way or exotics markets unless otherwise agreed by Sportingbet.
- Where a Bonus Bet is issued, it is to be used as a single bet.
- For winning Free Bets, winnings will be paid excluding the initial Bonus Bet stake. This means that if a Bonus Bet to the value of $100 is placed on a selection paying $2.15, the net winnings paid will be $115, (i.e. $215 less the $100 Bonus Bet).
- Prior to any withdrawal, both the deposit and any winnings accrued via the Promotional Bonus must be turned over at least once (1x)
Background
Sportingbet were founded as recently as 1998, although their growth has been phenomenal and they were one of the first UK based bookmakers to expand globally – something which has proved to be very successful. Sportingbet Australia is now firmly established as the biggest bookmaker in the country and they are licensed in the Northern Territory by the Northern Territory Government to accept bets by telephone and the Internet on Racing, Sport and Entertainment.
Odds and Markets
Horse racing customers are well serviced at Sportingbet Australia, with the bookmaker offering betting opportunities on every meeting taking place across Australia on a daily basis. There is also the chance to bet on special markets as well as place multiple bets across different meetings.
There are also an impressive range of sports covered by this bookmaker and, while the Australian sports are the ones covered in most detail, Sportingbet Australia can naturally take the odds and markets from their European counterparts and offer customers a wide range of betting opportunities when it comes to soccer, European basketball and other sports for this continent.
Website
The Sportingbet Australia website is arguably more impressive than its UK counterpart thanks to the way that racing and sports are separated out. Navigation involves selecting Racing or Sport from a left-hand menu and then following the menu through to your selected event and market. It is very straightforward to find the odds that you are looking for and bet placement is also simple.
The site has a nice layout which includes ‘My Bet Space’ and ‘My Account’ where you can customize markets so that you can quickly survey the sports which interest you. There is also a stand-alone section called ‘Follow the Money’ where you can get the low down on the latest sporting events.
