Booki

Booki launched in 2021 and offers a well-rounded betting site experience on desktop and mobile devices, as well as within its iOS and Android apps.

Booki looks and feels very similar to PlayUp, and you’ll notice both share identical odds and in-game sports markets. A domain lookup shows they’re both owned by the same corporation.

The Booki website is basically a direct clone of the PlayUp site, albeit with a different colour scheme.

Like PlayUp, Booki offers 24/7 customer service and boasts the best fixed odds on racing and major sports leagues.

PlayUp is one of our top recommended Australian betting sites & Booki looks to be just as good.

BetDogs.com.au

Launched in 2019, BetDogs.com.au is a small Australian betting site that’s 100% focused on greyhound racing.

Owned by the same company as TopSport, BetDogs shares the same ‘winners welcome’ philosophy and does not restrict winning accounts to maximise their profits like other betting agencies have been known to.

BetDogs offers the same odds as TopSport; however, it provides more in-depth insights into races, including Jump Style, Early Speed, and Racing Line, to help you pick a winner.

At the time of writing, BetDogs doesn’t offer an App; however, its betting site works fine in mobile browsers.

If you’re only interested in betting on the dish lickers, BetDogs is undoubtedly worth a look.

Withdrawal Options: Bank Transfer & Credit Card stake return.

Betting Options: Greyhound Racing

Cross Bet

Cross Bet is another Australian-owned and operated betting site that markets itself as a bookie for ‘Proper Punters’. However, although its website is run on the excellent Betmakers platform, Crossbet’s odds weren’t as competitive as those of other bookies at the time of review.

Racing coverage is robust, with live streaming available for select events. However, sports markets are pretty limited compared to the larger corporate bookmakers, such as Neds, Ladbrokes & PlayUp.

We recommend using other betting sites.

Who Wins?

As we mentioned, Booki is very similar to sister company PlayUp (which we’re big fans of), so if we had to pick a winner in this comparison, it would be them.

If betting on greyhound racing is your primary interest, however, we’d recommend going with Betdogs.com.au hands down.

Before signing up with Booki or BetDogs, first consider our other recommended betting sites in Australia.
