Bet365 Review

Bet365 offers some stand-out features compared to other Australian betting sites—namely, a vast array of live-streaming options, seemingly endless coverage of local and international racing and sporting markets, and one of the highest maximum payout amounts of any Australian betting site.

Keep reading to find out more about how Bet365 compares to other online bookmakers. 

Bet365 Betting Overview

Bet365 is one of the most established betting sites in Australia, having launched down under over a decade ago in 2012. 

The Bet365 website layout can take some getting used it, particularly if you’ve previously used more traditionally designed ‘3 panel’ type betting sites like Neds & Ladbrokes – however, after a brief adjustment period we actually grew to love the Bet365 website. 

The contrast of coloured icons against the dark background makes it easy to find your desired sporting event or racing category quickly; however, in our opinion, using size 11px font in places can make some details, such as Jockey names, difficult to read. Nothing that zooming in on your browser can’t fix! 

In our opinion, Bet365 stands out from the majority of other betting sites thanks to the wide offering of live streaming and in-depth live stats. Their maximum payout of up to $2,000,000 on win & place bets on Australian metro races covered by a TAB is also significantly higher than most other reviewed betting sites – making them a logical choice for punters who like to bet big.  

Overall, Bet365 is a solid choice for any Australian looking to switch to a new betting site, but it will particularly appeal to serious punters. 

Top Betting Sites in Australia

Bet365 Racing

If you’re a punter who loves horse racing, you’ll enjoy Bet365. Offering extensive coverage of Australian and international thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing, Bet365 backs up its strong fixed odds with a range of additional promotions, including:

• Odds Drift Protector – if you back a horse and it drifts out to longer odds before the jump – Bet365 will pay you out at the bigger odds.
• Bet365 Protest Promise – If your backed horse is regulated via a post-race stewards inquiry, Bet365 will pay you out as a winner.
• Top Fluc – Place your bet using the ‘TF’ on selected Australia metro racing before the first fixed odds price call. If you win, you’ll be paid the highest fluctuation of the final offer price after the fixed odds come through.

If live streaming is high on your priority list, Bet365 excels in this area, with live coverage of a wide range of Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia races.

Bet365 Sports Betting

Bet365’s sports betting options are extensive, with over 38 different local and international sporting codes available to bet on, including staples like AFL, NRL, EPL, and the NBA through to obscure sports like Kabaddi, Bandy, and Billiards. 

Like Neds & Ladbrokes, Bet365’s depth of the same game multi options is excellent, with a huge array of outcomes within NBA, NFL, NRL, and AFL matches available to combine and bet on. 

As mentioned above, Bet365’s live streaming offering is right up there with the other best betting sites Australia has. Over 150,000 sporting events and races are available to watch via your phone or computer every year, allowing you to ditch your Kayo subscription and enjoy high-quality streams of sporting events while having a punt (live streaming is only available to logged-in users and depends on the status of your account). 

Finally, Bet365 live play betting is available across a huge range of sports, complementing their excellent live streaming options perfectly. 

Bet365 is great for betting on expert AFL tips and expert NRL tips.

Bet365 Betting App

The Bet365 app is one of the most downloaded betting apps in Australia. At the time of writing, it was ranked as the 5th most popular Sports app in Apple’s App Store. Bet365 has recently launched an upgraded version of its betting app, promising a faster, easier way to enjoy a bet. 

There have been some reports of users experiencing freezing and glitching issues. However, given that the Bet365 app has been downloaded by millions and maintains an App Store rating of 4.6 out of a possible 5, it’s clearly not terrible. 

Upon review, we found the Bet365 app to be completely glitch-free. Our only gripe is that the small fonts used for some information can be a little hard to read—maybe we just need our eyes checked. 

The Bet365 betting app is free to download and available on Apple & Android devices.
