For the past few years Sportsbet has been the go-to bookmaker for a lot of people. However, they can be pretty expensive, they have a poor app and have been known to make their customer service staff rude. Sites like PlayUp and Palmerbet offer more sports live streams, Unibet and Bet365 have better betting odds, while Neds has even more racing stats and tips. Considering all of this, we think it’s worth looking into other options before opening a Sportsbet account.

Sportsbet was established in 1993 as the first Australian licensed bookmaker and is now one of Australia’s leading online and app-based bookmakers. It’s an international brand and has become an iconic Aussie sportsbook, gaining a reputation for innovative betting features and advertising campaigns that have caused controversy (in particular, a 2017 ad featuring sprinted Ben Johnson which was banned due to its reference to doping in sport).

Whether you’re looking to bet on a team or individual player, if you’re disciplined and responsible (that means not betting more than you can afford to lose) and do your research then you can make money from sports betting. But be warned, there are no sure-fire ways to make money from gambling and it takes time and dedication.

Sportsbet offers a massive range of sporting events, including esports and minor markets. Their betting odds are competitive in the major competitions, with most events offering over 100 pre-play markets. This is much better than some competitors and shows that they have a lot of backing for their markets.
