Top Sports Betting Sites

Online sports betting is one of Australia’s favourite things and finding out what the best Australian sports betting sites are is an important first step in successful punting. Since online gambling became so popular, the government had to step in and place restrictions on Australian online betting sites.

To deal with the explosion of online gambling, Australia passed the Interactive Gambling Act in 2001. This effectively banned online gaming companies from marketing online poker and casino games and barred companies from accepting players from within the country for any of those services.

Luckily for Australian sports betting fans, this means that online sports betting, racing and lotteries are the only legal forms of online gambling. There is only one catch - bookmakers are not allowed to offer inducements like sign up bonuses, free bets or promo codes to attract customers.

Gambling fans can still take advantage of promotions or special offers, but bookmakers may only reveal those sign-up bonuses once a customer has registered on their site.

NewBettingSites have put together a list of our top 10 betting sites and recommend bookmakers that offer the best combination of great odds, betting options, safe betting, and are the easiest to use.

How We Rate The Best Sports Betting Sites

Multiple online sites claim to offer the best advice, top tips and best recommendations for the best sports betting sites. Besides comparing which sites offer the best promotions and bonuses, there are four other factors we regard as most important when ranking an Australian betting site.

Ease of use
Safety
Fees
Odds

Have a look at our Top 20 of Best AU Betting Sites and get more insight on these factors on How To Rank The Best Betting Sites. NewBettingSites have done the work for you by comparing the payout odds of the most popular sports markets in Australia, and can therefore present our recommendations with confidence.

Most Popular Australian Sports Betting Markets

Here are a few of the most common betting types you can place on sporting events that we also consider to be the most important:

Multibets

This betting type is also known as an accumulator (or acca), combo bet or multi bet. It is a single bet that links two or more individual bets together and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together. The downside, of course, is that if any of the bets in the parlay lose, the entire parlay loses and you walk away with nothing.

Flat Stakes

Betting with flat stakes means you are betting in a consistent, disciplined way, or simply put - you are betting the same amount on every game regardless of your confidence level. Flat betting may not be the most appealing or exciting type of bet, but it puts you in the best position to stay in the game long term.

Matched Betting

This betting strategy is used by individuals to profit from the bonus bets and incentives offered by bookmakers. Matched betting is generally considered as risk-free, as all possible outcomes are always covered at a bookmaker and a betting exchange simultaneously.

Arbitrage Betting

This type of betting, although perfectly legal in Australia, bookmakers all-around do not take kindly to arb bettors. Arbitrage betting involves placing bets on every possible outcome of an event to lock in a guaranteed profit and is achieved by exploiting odds between bookmakers. So, an arb bettor in sports betting is when a bettor makes multiple bets on the same event to guarantee a profit no matter the result.

Spread Betting

Spread betting (and betting against the spread) is a very common bet in football and basketball games but is a bet that is seen in other sports as well. Understanding and looking at the spread will help determine if a game has good or bad odds. The plus (+) sign means that the team is the underdog, while a minus (-) sign means that team is the favourite.

There are many more types of betting out there and depending on what sport you are betting with, there are some betting types that are better to apply than others. The key is to know a combination of a few factors - your sport, the odds and the type of bet that works for you in terms of what you can personally afford to lose.

Top Sports Betting Events To Bet On

There are hundreds of sport types available to bet on and today, you can even bet on the Triple J Hottest 100 annual musical poll or even The Bachelorette Australia Odds. Betting on entertainment such as TV shows and pop culture events has become increasingly popular with punters in Australia.

Here is our recommended list of sports betting events we think you should focus on:

NRL
AFL
Soccer
NBA
UFC
Tennis
Cricket
Esports
Politics

NRL Betting

Betting on The National Rugby League is extremely popular with TAB punters and has made its way on our top of the list sports to bet on online. There's a huge variety of NRL markets as well as futures markets available (on every possible rugby match) on sports betting sites throughout the season.

AFL Betting

The Australian Football League is the highest level of the sport and is a professional league with 18 teams from across the nation. The AFL is also generally referred to as Aussie Rules, or simply footie, and it is the indigenous sport of Australia that has been played for over 150 years.

Soccer Betting

To bet on the outcome of a soccer game is also very popular among seasoned punters. In soccer, sports bettors will bet by way of taking the Match Result, Double Chance and Draw No Bet. Good odds to bet on soccer will be to look at pros who average odds of 2.00 or more historically.

NBA Betting

The National Basketball League is the premier professional men's basketball league in Australia and New Zealand and is currently composed of 9 in Australia and 1 in New Zealand. In-play betting is very popular so be sure to register with a bookie that offers up to date odds while live streaming, so you can bet, watch and walk.

UFC Betting

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is a boxing or mixed martial arts event. Here you will find “round betting” which is a type of bet that you can place on either the round that the fight will end in or the person who will end the fight as the winner. Due to state legislation, the South-Australian government prohibits any customer from placing a bet on any MMA/UFC event.

Tennis Betting

All good Australian sports betting sites offer tennis betting as it is one of the most popular live betting markets in the world. As the game develops, the odds can change and after every point is scored, you have to be ready to pull the trigger on your bet before it's too late. In tennis betting, you can also bet who will win the next upcoming game.

Cricket Betting

Sports wagers that involve straight-bets, teasers, parlays and futures are also all legal in Australia and cricket betting is very popular among sports betting fans. Most bookmakers offer cricket markets to bet on and live cricket, as well as in-play betting, is very popular among Australian bettors.

Esports Betting

Electronic sports betting, just like sports betting and horse racing betting, is perfectly legal for Australians to bet on. The only condition provided is that you are using a licensed betting site. The Australian Esports League (AEL) is a provider of premier Esports competitions and is available on most bookmakers’ sites.

Politics Betting

Similar to entertainment betting, you can bet on anything from the Australian Federal Election all the way through to the US Presidential campaign. Most bookmakers offer their customers markets to bet on and view the latest odds on Australian Federal Politics Matches.

Sports Betting Live Streams

As an Australian sports betting fan, you would want to register with a bookmaker that offers live streaming on all major sports. It is important to have registered with an online betting provider that has a good mobile app so that you will be kept up to date with sports events and outcomes.

Betting on live Soccer, Rugby, Cricket and Basketball are all very popular sports that can be legally enjoyed by Australian punters.

Sports Betting In-Play Bets

In-play betting is very popular among Australian sports betting fans and allows you to place a wager (or modify an existing wager) after the game or sports event has started.

In Australia, online in-play betting is illegal and no bookmaker may offer in-play betting as a feature on their website. Instead, and very creatively to circumvent this law, bettors may watch a sports game live and then phone in what they would like to bet or wager during a sports match or event.

In-play bets enable bettors to place bets on multiple markets once a game or sports event starts, and changing those bets as the game unfolds and the outcome seems to tip in a player’s favour.

Sports Betting Mobile Apps

The biggest development in sports betting, after the revolution of online betting in the late 20th century, is the development of mobile betting and the apps that are used. The vast majority of Australian punters now exclusively use their mobile phones to place bets on sport and racing and are seeking out bookmakers that have user-friendly apps and offer live sports streaming.

A smooth interface with an easy to navigate layout is important and needs to be hassle-free should a bettor need to access markets or place a bet quickly. Mobile apps need to run bug-free and not crash or hang when a bettor uses it. Mobile apps also need to be accessible on both Android and iOS platforms and have to be equally easy to use on a PC, tablet or smartphone.

As all apps take up valuable space on your mobile device, be sure to look at our top sports betting mobile apps and what criteria we look at to choose our favourites.

Sports Betting Tips

Betting smart is what it’s all about, and NewBettingSites believes that these 10 tips (or betting secrets) will help you place a more successful wager, no matter which sport you are betting on.

Find value

Finding value is the most important secret to successful sports betting. Having the ability to choose which bookie will give you the most value for your money, you already have the first secret locked in. Be sure to look at our favourites on the list of top 10 sports betting sites.

Calculate the cost of your bet

The second most important secret to sports betting is knowing what your true enemy is - the cost of making bets. The more your combined bets cost you in the long run, the less value you are getting for your buck.

Know your sport

One of our top tips is for you to become experienced in one sport. In order to become good at sports betting, one has to have sufficient knowledge of the sports rules, players, teams and history of those players. Sometimes it takes years of following a specific sport before a bettor can wager successfully.

Find a good bookmaker

Finding a bookmaker that provides a great selection of markets, good promotions, as well as great odds, is not always easy. Finding the bookie that is right for your betting needs, offers excellent promotions and has good odds, is what is most important. We recommend you look at the following brands which have a very good balance of both odds and selection of markets to choose from:

Ladbrokes Australia
Neds
JustBet
dabble
TopSport
RobWaterhouse
bet365
Betr
Unibet Australia

Know the odds

Be sure to understand what the term “odds” means in betting and what all the plus (+) and minus (-) signs represent. Betting odds represents the probability of an event to happen and therefore enables you to work out how much money you will win if your bet wins. They show odds in ratios and decimals, but understanding how spread betting works will allow you to make better betting decisions.

Use a database of statistics and accurate predictions

Another way to bet without losing is to find websites that have analysed tens of thousands of matches every year. These stats can be found for almost every market of every sports type and display accurate predictions shown in percentages.

Follow a good staking strategy

Following the most basic betting strategy (like flat stakes for example) is better than not following a system at all. Read up about value betting and avoid parlay betting. While the latter does ensure a bigger payout should your stake win, if any of the bets in the parlay loses, the entire parlay loses and you walk away with nothing. Rather look at matched betting and arbitrage betting as those are staking strategies that better guarantee a bet with a successful outcome.

Make use of tip sheets

Sports betting fans use tipsheets to know which teams are more likely to win than others. It serves as a prediction, so to speak, about the outcome gamblers are most likely to expect during a given sports event. They base these tip sheets on past performances and other varying factors that would influence the game tipping in their favour. Even by following these tip sheets and every tip imaginable, there are no guarantees, and the outcome of a game can go either way.

Do your homework

Doing your homework, knowing the basics, and knowing the sport, is the only authentic way you can expect a positive outcome on bets you make. NewBettingSites offers our readers valuable insight and recommendations based on extensive research and analysing important factors, so whether you are a beginner or an experienced punter, you can rely on our guides.

Stop betting after a big loss

Even if you know your sport and are an experienced bettor with years of sports betting experience under the belt, losing is inevitable. When this happens, don’t stress! NewBetttingSites is here to help in whatever way we can.

After a big loss, you should stop betting, take a break and regroup. Look at our top nine betting tips, and try again! Accumulator bets were created to decrease profitability over a long period of time, so based on the maths, you are likely to lose all your money if you place enough bets, especially if you have been on a losing streak.

Sports betting is a form of gambling and entails placing a wager, also known as a bet, on the outcome of a sporting event. With sports betting, there are one of two outcomes - either you win a profit based on the bookmaker odds or you lose your wager.

What online sites accept sports bets from Australian players?

Ladbrokes Australia, TopSport and Neds are among the most popular Australian betting sites that accept sports bets. Other popular bookmaker sites for Australians include dabble, Justbet, RobWaterhouse, MidasBet, Betr, bet365 and Unibet.

What does it mean to be backing an outcome?

If you are placing a bet on an outcome, they say you are backing that outcome. For example, if you bet Melbourne United to beat Sydney Kings in the NBL, you are backing Melbourne United to win.

What does a lay bet mean?

A bet against an outcome is called a lay bet. For example, you can lay a bet against Lewis Hamilton to win the Formula 1 race. Your lay bet wins if anyone except Hamilton wins, and loses if Hamilton wins the F1 race.

What is a bookmaker?

The term “bookmaker” is also loosely referred to as a “bookie”, but the term “sportsbook” or “betting agency” are both synonyms. They provide a betting exchange for customers, which are marketplaces in which they set odds.

What is a punter?

A customer who places a bet is called a “punter”, “bettor”, or “betting fan”. These customers have to be registered at a licenced and registered bookmaker in order to wager a bet on any sport.

Do Australian sports bettors have a gambling problem?

Surprisingly, research shows that sports bettors are far less likely to have gambling problems than gamblers who partake in all other gambling activities. According to the HILDA (Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia) survey, it shows that in 2015, well over half a million Australian adults regularly place bets on sports but only 41% of those regular bettors experienced one or more gambling-related problems.
