About AustralianBettingSites

Welcome to AustralianBettingSites, the one-stop shop for all your sports betting and racing needs! We offer detailed bookmaker reviews to help you decide where to deposit your hard-earned, and with multiple weekly betting tips covering major sports leagues like the AFL, NRL and NBA, we also want to help you find your next winner.

At AustralianBettingSites, our mission is simple; to provide punters with accurate, up-to-date information about betting in Australia. Be that by walking you through the pros and cons of different Aussie bookies or dishing out the tips of our experts, we want to make it easier not just to bet, but to bet well – and hopefully, a little more profitably! 

In order to achieve the above mission, we focus on a few different areas. Take a look at each of them below. 

Expert Betting Tips

You’ll find expert betting tips on a wide range of different sports on AustralianBettingSites, covering home-grown leagues like the AFL and NRL as well as major global competitions such as the NBA and EPL. Throughout the course of those leagues’ respective seasons, you’ll find weekly tips from our expert punters, each of whom carries with them a lifetime of knowledge about the sport, and plenty of betting nous to go with it. 

And we’re not just a one-trick pony – pardon the pun. We also offer horse racing tips, particularly for major events, so if you’re after Melbourne Cup betting advice, we can help.

Use these tips as you wish. If you’re looking to place a bet on a sport you don’t know well, maybe they’ll lead you in the right direction. In contrast, if you’re just after another perspective on something you’re already well-versed in, then the valuable insights from our team will serve you well. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned punter, we reckon our expert betting tips are well and truly worth checking out. 

Bookmaker Reviews

Beyond just giving our tips, one of our primary purposes is to help you sift through the seemingly endless choice when it comes to betting sites in Australia to find the one that best suits you. We can’t claim to have covered every single bookie in the country, but we’ve given it a pretty good crack and the detailed bookmaker reviews you will find on the site should give you a really well-rounded idea of what they each have to offer. These are some of the factors that we consider when looking into a betting site.

Range of Markets

This is one of the most important things that we look at when it comes to sports betting in particular, and with some betting sites only offering a really basic range and others offering just about everything you could think of and more, there is a fair bit of variance in this respect.

Odds

Equally important is the odds on offer. Different odds may not look massively difference on first glance, but making money punting is easy and there’s no point making it even harder for yourself by consistently taking subpar odds.

Apps, Bonuses, Customer Support & More

Those might be two of the most important factors that we consider, but they’re only scratching the surface. Beyond that, we’ll also assess the quality of bookmaker betting apps (if they’ve got one), their desktop site, any betting bonuses they may offer, their customer support, payment options and more. Told you they were comprehensive! 

‘Best of’ Betting Guides

Finally, rather than purely taking a look at different betting sites in isolation, we also take a look at which of them might be best for a punter looking for something in particular; after all, what’s good for the goose may not be good for the gander. These guides cover things like the best new betting sites and bookies with the best bonuses, to name just a couple.

There is no shortage of betting-related content out there that is, to put it nicely, not necessarily the best advice. Think AI-generated betting tips, or random insights from people who have probably never watched the sport they’re covering. That’s not us.

We pride ourselves on giving punters information that is actually useful, be it through our bookmaker reviews, our NRL tips, AFL tips or whatever it may be. Every single thing that we put out on the site is the product of research and analysis from people in the know, so while we won’t get every single tip we make right, you can be sure that there was at least plenty of reasoning behind it. 

We don’t want to sell you a dream and give you a nightmare, so we don’t. We don’t try to sell you anything. As a bunch of punters ourselves, our interest lies in giving punters the best information available to place informed bet on high-quality betting sites. Our values centre around providing you with value – corny, we know, but it’s true!

So why us? There are plenty of places to get tips and info about different bookies, so why choose AustralianBettingSites as your go-to source of intel? Try these three reasons on for size.

Transparency

Let’s start with transparency. You’ll notice that we tend to give out plenty of information, be it for our betting tips or bookmaker reviews, and that’s not an accident. We want to be as transparent as possible about not just what we think, but why we think it, with the hope that this transparency gives an added element of trust to the content we offer.

Take our betting tips, for example. Rather than just randomly dishing out tips for matches with no explanation as to why – tips that may as well have been pulled out of a hat – our experts go into detail about the matchup in question. These explanations give an insight into how they’re thinking and how they got to their conclusions, and once again this transparency is no accident. 

Expertise

Of course, being transparent would mean nothing if we didn’t know what we were talking about. At AustralianBettingSites, however, we pride ourselves on the fact that our experts are exactly that; seasoned sports lovers with experience in sports journalism, the betting industry, and sometimes both. That gives us an added element of reliability – at least, we think it does! – that really shines through in the content we offer.

Passion

Bit of an intangible one here, but we reckon it’s pretty relevant. All of our content writers are passionate sports lovers, and while we can’t prove it, we’re pretty sure that has a massive influence on the quality of our content. When someone writes about something they don’t know about, you can just tell, can’t you? That will never be the case here, with everyone involved in the site lifelong sports lovers. 

While we’re all for a cheeky punt, there’s no denying the importance of responsible gambling. From understanding the legalities surrounding punting in Australia to being aware of the wealth of resources that are now available to help at-risk gamblers, these are some of the things that it’s important to be aware of in order to gamble responsibly.

Australian rules and regulations

Punting in Australia is very popular and very widely available, but that does not mean that there aren’t any rules and regulations surrounding it. In fact, there are plenty. The most important to be aware of surround who can gamble; basically, you need to be at least 18 years of age and within the country, and you’re free to go.

There are various other legalities surrounding gambling which we touch on across the site. A relatively recent example has been making it illegal to advertise betting bonuses as an enticement, while live betting moved offline a few years ago, meaning punters now need to call up to place live bets. 

Deposit limits

These are now available at every legitimate betting site in Australia, and these can be a great way to keep your gambling in check if need be. These involve simply setting a limit for how much you can deposit on a specific site; it could be $50 a week, a couple of hundred a month – it could be $42.50 over a 14-day period. The choice is entirely yours.

Helplines

There are various helplines available if you feel that gambling is becoming a problem for you. These can be found on licensed bookmakers’ websites, and include organisations such as Gambling Help Online and GambleAware.

Self-exclusion

Australian betting sites now also offer self-exclusion, which as the name suggests simply involves you opting to exclude yourself from the betting site in question if you’re visiting it a little more than you like. You can pre-determine the period of exclusion yourself. On a larger scale, BetStop is an organisation which allows you to self-exclude from all betting sites in Australia for a period of time that you choose.
