Sportsbet Sports Review

Upon entering their site, which is only available in English, you’ll immediately notice its clean look and simplicity in use. All markets are typically displayed on the homepage and they change on a day-to-day basis, keeping their users constantly updated with an upcoming sports event and latest odds. 

Sportsbookers will be happy to know that registering with Sportsbet comes with a pretty nice welcome bonus upon your first deposit. 100% up to $501; generous indeed! Once you register, you have 30 days to make use of this bonus.

 

Once those 30 days are up, you can profit from the other ongoing promotions, and believe us, you’ll want to cash in on the promotions. There’s a reason why it’s considered as the website that runs the best regular promotions in the country.

 

On a daily basis, the website nominates one particular race in which you’ll be able to get your money back, refunded in cash. 

 

This website runs the best regular promotions in the country. There are also a number of ongoing competitions where you get to win cash prizes, and there is even a refer-a-friend scheme where you can get up to a $100 bonus. Let’s just say that we can definitely see why it’s a favourite among sportsbook users.

 

So, on Sportsbet you can view the odds in Decimal format. That’s it. It shouldn’t really be a problem if you’re Australian, but it can be a bit of a nuisance for international users who are used to other odd formats. Apart from that minor setback, everything else is smooth sailing; game selection and odds are promising. 

 

The website offers punters a vast choice of events but the main focus seems to revolve around horseracing. As already mentioned, their biggest strength obviously lies in Australian sports, but their International selection definitely won’t disappoint. For racing, Sportsbet offers the best odds on every thoroughbred race taking place in Australia; they offer a strong horse-racing lineup and follow through even when it comes to greyhound racing.

 

Soccer is covered pretty well with up to 100 markets across 100 leagues. The only other thing that might not be so favourable is that this sportsbook is slightly limited when it comes to e-sports, so if that’s what’s down your alley, you might want to take a left turn here. 

 

Not that into sports? Well in reality you shouldn’t really be browsing through a sportsbook, but hey! To each their own right? Either way, in that case, Sportsbet actually offers bets on non-sport related events; all you have to do is head to the “Novelties” section of the left-hand side sport event selection. Here you can bet on your favourite contestant in a reality tv show or even who’s going to win what in the Oscars. 

Horseracing enthusiasts will be happy to know that all horse races are available for live streaming on any device. If using mobile, you can also watch the live stream through the Sportsbet app. Although the live stream is available, live betting is not; the only way you can place your bet while a game is ongoing is to do it via a phone call.

 

You can also cash-out mid-match to keep your advantage in cases where the match isn’t doing as well as you hoped. In cases where you placed your bet through a phone call, the only way to cash-out mid-match is through a phone call as well. 

 

Sportsbet offers a number of customer support services, but it’s not exactly the best around. Live chat is available but it is not 24/7. You can find a customer representative to chat with between 7 am to midnight, Monday to Saturday or 8 am to 9 pm on a Sunday. You could even give them a ring if you prefer; in that case, lines are available from 8 am to 11 pm. Your other option is e-mail or message via their social media pages, to which you should get a pretty quick reply, unless you contact them after 11 pm, in which case you’d have to wait till morning. Their FAQ page is pretty comprehensive, so before contacting a representative, maybe you should give that a go first. 

 

If your device of choice is mobile and you’re looking for a sportsbook that takes that as their first consideration, then look no further! Sportsbet is your guy. The app has all the offers available and you can watch live streams through it as well. Apart from having a great design and look, it’s easy to use and very convenient to have, so what are you waiting for? Visit the app or play store and get it!  

 

Payment Method choices are ace with Sportsbet. To make a deposit, you can make use of Bank Transfer, Bpay, Credit/Debit Card, Skrill, Paypal and Poli. The choice isn’t as vast when it comes to making your withdrawal as you can only use Bank Transfer, Skrill and Paypal. The minimum amount you can deposit is $5.00 and the minimum amount you can bet is $0.01 unless you’re placing your bet by phone. We’re guessing that betting via a phone call is a bit of a hassle as the minimum amount you can bet here is $50. 

 

The bet margin for Sportsbet is 5.6%, which weADMit, is not the best around, but you only have to wager x1 times to earn your winnings. The maximum amount you can win on a daily basis is barred at $500,000. 

 

One of the best things about Sportsbet? Their own personal Sportsbet cash card, hands down. Owning this card allows you instant access to your winnings and money at any ATM. Consider this as a way that turns your winnings into instant cash as opposed to having to wait three to five days until the transfer is complete. 

This sportsbook is licenced by Australia’s Northern Territory Government and makes use of SSL Encryption. The questions of security shouldn’t be a question to start with. Apart from being super secure from that front, it also has a DigiCert Secure Certificate, is a member of the Australian Wagering Council, and actively encourages responsible gaming. 

Just like any other Sportsbook around, Sportsbet has its ups and its down but luckily, the ups leave much more of an impact. Great event selection, promising odds on more than just sports and a fantastic bonus to welcome newcomers with. Come on, give it a burl, we promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
