Betfair

Betfair is a global betting brand that has been providing gambling services to the world for a number of years. It landed in Australia in 2005 and remains the country’s only betting exchange to this day.

If you’re not familiar with how a Betting Exchange works, the most simple way to put it is that players are betting against each other rather than the company. This means they can create their own odds and potentially make much more than they would when betting against the bookie.

The bookmaker facilitates this by charging a small commission on winnings, however, if you know your stuff when it comes to the races and sports you’re betting on, you’ll consider the fees negligible.

In this review, we’re going to scrutinise the entire service and publish our results so that you can know exactly what to expect from Betfair Australia without having to do the research yourself. If you decide to join, make sure you use code BETSAU.

In our reviews, we always have a look for additional betting features that help make the platform stand out from the rest of the competition.

These special features provide some of the best reasons to join alongside the availability of racing and sports betting markets.

Here are some notable features of Betfair.com.au:

The Betfair Hub offers a savvy selection of betting options on various sporting, cultural, and racing events. Their expertise is exclusive to exchange betting, and they provide clear guidance for making the most of your wagers on Betfair Australia.

Expert advice, feature race reports, prediction models, education, media, podcasts, and more are all available from this multifaceted group of analysts.

All registered users get access to Betfair Live, a superior racing experience. When you choose a race, the Exchange will provide you with some familiar things alongside a wealth of new data only found when using this feature.

Due to changes in Australian gambling regulations, we are unable to disclose the specific promos that can be found on this site, but we can assure you that this platform will be well worth your time and money after you have opened an account.

No sign-up incentives are permitted anymore, however it is still possible to find codes and utilise them to make the registration procedure as easy as possible.

Racing is the primary focus of Betfair Australia and it’s clear that they’re doing everything they can do provide the ultimate online betting experience for betting on horses, harnesses and dogs.

When you want to bet on racing, click on “horse racing” or “Greyhound racing” in the main menu at the top of any page. All upcoming events will flood your screen, alongside a helpful menu on the right-hand side of the page that will allow you to quickly select imminent races or filter by racecourse.

Sports markets are also available on this site, as well as Thoroughbred, harness and Greyhound racing. In fact, Betfair.com.au offers one of the greatest selections of sports categories in Australia.

Not only are all of an Australian’s favourite betting sports covered, such as Aussie rules, soccer, tennis, cricket and gridiron, but also many lesser-wagered sports like athletics, Gaelic sports and motorsports.

Here is the full list of sports that can be bet on:

Conveniently, there is a mobile betting application for those that prefer to bet on racing and sports using their smartphones and/or tablets.

The application can be downloaded from the iOS Apple App Store or the Android Google Play Store.

Betfair accepts a wide variety of payment options outside Visa and Mastercard, including a number of e-wallets. Betfair accepts deposits made through BPay, Bank Transfer, Credit Union Transfer, Neteller, and Moneybookers in addition to these more traditional payment methods.

Your betting account should be updated instantly unless you used a bank transfer. 

Of the options that you can choose from, we recommend either Visa, MasterCard, BPay, POLi or Neteller.

Unfortunately and surprisingly, Betfair Australia does not provide a Live Chat feature for easy communication when you need help or have a suggestion. When you need help, you should check out the FAQ section before sending an email if you still have questions.
