BetGold

Based out of Queensland, BetGold is another on-course bookmaker venturing into the online betting space via the BetMakers platform.

Unfortunately, BetGold blends into the crowd with its average-priced fixed racing odds and a modest number of in-game sporting markets, offering little incentive to choose it over other betting sites.

We’d recommend using other betting sites.

Marantelli Bet

Marantelli Bet is another small Australian betting site run by an on-course bookmaker out of Victoria.

Like many of the betting sites listed, Marantelli operates via the BetMakers platform, which means its site is very simple and straightforward to use.

At the time of review, Marantelli Bet’s fixed odds were reasonably competitive with those of the bigger corporate bookmakers. However, as is often the case with smaller bookmakers, their sports betting offerings are limited compared to those of the big players.

Worth a look if you’re only interested in betting on racing.

swiftbet

SwiftBet is a brand-new betting site launched in 2022, so there isn’t much known about the Melbourne-based betting site.

Run on the BetMakers platform, the SwiftBet site blends into the crowd with little in terms of a point of difference.

However, it’s only in the early days for SwiftBet, so we’ll keep an eye on them over the coming months.

Which One Would We Choose?

Suppose you’re only interested in punting on horses. In that case, Marantelli Bet offers decent odds for a small Aussie bookmaker; however, if you’re looking to bet on sports like AFL, NRL, and NBA, any of the betting sites featured on our homepage will be better suited.
