Introduction

The following is an in-depth review of the betting agency Sportsbet. This review covers the history, features, interface, sports & racing markets, upsides and downsides of the service. This review is part of our comprehensive Bookmaker Reviews section. The Betting Agencies page provides information and reviews for other sports betting agencies that are suitable for Australians. The following details are updated periodically to keep them up to date.

History, Location and Licence

Sportsbet is an Australian-licensed bookmaker that offers sports and race betting. Sportsbet commenced operations in Darwin in 1993, and is licensed in the Northern Territory. In 2005, Sportsbet was on the brink of bankruptcy when Matthew Tripp purchased the company for just $250,000. The bookmaker has since enjoyed a complete turnaround. In May 2009, Paddy Power, Ireland’s largest bookmaker, acquired 51% of Sportsbet. In September that year Sportsbet acquired All Sports Ltd, the owners of IASbet. In 2010 it was announced that Paddy Power would acquire full ownership of Sportsbet. This process was completed in March 2011. In June & July of 2011 both the Sportsbet and IASbet websites were overhauled to employ the same website interface, but with different templates. In August 2014 the IASbet website was discontinued with IASbet memberships transferred over to Sportsbet. In 2016 the owning company Paddy Power was acquired by Flutter Entertainment plc, which is a Dublin-based company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange.1, 2, 3, 6 Sportsbet is often in the media. It advertises on TV and is occasionally in the news for its ad hoc betting promotions. For example, in 2009 Sportsbet paid out all bets on Federer to win Wimbledon before the tournament started. It also paid out bets on England to win the 2010-11 Ashes Series after Day One of the 3rd Ashes Test. Sportsbet always has a myriad of betting promotions on at any given time.

Betting Interface and Website Layout

Sportsbet uses a responsive website design that tailors the display to the size of your screen. This review will focus on the desktop version of the website. The Sportsbet interface uses a beginner-friendly three-column layout, with sports listed on the left, markets and odds in the centre and the betting slip on the right. The navigation pane uses a dropdown approach. Quicklinks to the most popular upcoming events are displayed along with links to Racing and Sports. When Sports is selected only five or so popular leagues are displayed. To view the rest of the sports you then click on a secondary “Sports A-Z” link. When you click on a popular sport like Soccer the featured markets are displayed in the centre column. Links are displayed above these markets to view upcoming fixtures and a list of all available leagues. This approach results in a lot of clicks to get to the league of your choice, but it becomes fast to use once you get used to it. Links to specials, live betting, results, the help centre and other website features are also displayed in the navigation column.

When you select a league the centre page is refreshed to display upcoming fixtures for that league and in some cases, a league table is displayed to the right of the odds. For each fixture the head-to-head and, where applicable, also the line and over/under odds are displayed. You can either click on a fixture to view all available markets for that game or, where applicable, you can click on a dropdown menu at the top right hand corner of the box to view a different market (like alternative lines, winning margins) for every fixture. Tabs are available at the top of the box to switch between matches odds and futures odds. Above the odds are links to other leagues, where applicable, and above these are breadcrumbs to navigate to higher categories. The betting slip is intuitive to use. It is split vertically into Singles, Standard Multi and, when more than three items are in the slip, Combo Multis (like doubles, trebles, 4 folds, Trixie, Patent, Yankee etc.) You can toggle on and off the display of each category. The sports and racing sections of the website are seamlessly integrated so that racing and sports selections can be combined in multis and exotic multis.

Bookmaker Margin

The bookmaker margin (overround) is a measure of the bookmaker’s profit margin for an event and is a hidden transaction cost for punters. This profit is how bookmakers finance their services but bookmakers vary in the margins they apply. From a punter’s perspective, the lower the margin, the better. Sportsbet was competitive with its fixed racing odds in our latest bookmaker margin survey. It recorded an average margin of 27.9% compared to the survey average of 29.8%. Sportsbet’s biggest strength was thoroughbred racing, with only one other bookmaker recording a lower margin during the survey. Sportsbet had an average sports margin of 5.6%. This wasn’t a stellar result, however Sportsbet did perform surprisingly well for the number of instances in which it offered the best surveyed odds for a particular selection. This was particularly the case for horse racing, with only one other bookmaker finishing with a better figure for that statistic. This result highlights Sportsbet’s independence when it comes to setting odds. Despite the average sports margins, Sportsbet is a vital addition to a portfolio of memberships for those who like to shop around for the best sports and racing odds.

Sports Markets

Sportsbet offered over 100 markets per fixture in our latest margins and markets survey. The range of markets that Sportsbet offers is more than adequate to make it work as a standalone membership for those who only want one bookmaker account. One of Sportsbet’s strengths is its ability to make markets available early in the week. To provide an example, you’ll often see over/under total score markets offered for the AFL and NRL on Monday, which is rare. During our latest survey no other bookmaker achieved that.

Horse Racing

Sportsbet offers a strong racing line-up, with fixed odds made available in good time. Expert tips are provided for most meets, which provide a commentary along with the top-rated selections for each race.

All of the usual exotics are available, and flexi betting is supported.

In October 2019 Sportsbet launched a same race multi feature, which as far as we’re aware is a first for Australia. The feature enables you to select multiple runners to win or finish in the top 2, 3 or 4 in the race. This enables you to select 1-4 legs for your multi.

Some examples are:

1 leg: Horse A to finish in the top 2

2 legs: Horse A to Win + Horse B to finish in the top 3 3 legs: Horse A to Win + Horse B to finish in the top 4 + Horse C to finish in the top 4 4 legs: Horse A to finish in the top 2 + Horse B to finish in the top 2 + horse C to finish in the top 4 + Horse D to finish in the top 4

The main drawcard of the same race multi feature is it gives you more selection flexibility. The 1-leg option gives you two new opportunities for races where the top three place: to back a horse to finish in the top 2 or in the top 4. Unlike standard exotics, you no longer have to rely on three runners to finish in the top 3 or four runners to finish in the top four. For example you can simply select 2 runners to both place or both finish in the top four. Because the feature uses fixed rather than Tote odds you can play around with selections and immediately see the resulting odds. Any time you add a selection the updated odds are automatically displayed. SKY Racing is available for members live on the website and the app.

Live Sports Betting

Due to Australia’s Interactive Gambling Act 3, live online betting is not available for Australians. Australian customers must phone in to bet live. If live online sports betting is what you’re after, be sure to check out our survey of betting agencies that offer live online betting.

Downsides

Have been known to suspend or limit the accounts of successful punters

Higher than average bookmaker sports margins

Bottom Line

Sportsbet is an excellent betting service for modest stakes punters, however large stakes punters may become frustrated by Sportsbet’s inclination to limit the accounts of successful members (a common practice in Australia, unfortunately). The betting selection is excellent, particularly for Australian sports, which makes Sportsbet suitable as a solitary membership for those who want only one betting account. One of the strengths of Sportsbet is its frequent promotions and competitions. Sportsbet’s other big strength is its independence when settings odds. This often results in contrasting odds with other bookmakers, which makes Sportsbet a valuable portfolio addition for odds shopping. Sportsbet is also strong at getting markets up early, which is great for those looking for value opportunities early in the week.
