PuntCity Review

PuntCity is one of the newest betting services to hit the Australian virtual spaces. It offers a modest range of popular sports and all three main racing categories for Aussies to gamble on.

The platform is one of several Cloudbet platforms that have been rethought with a different concept. Taking a cue from Grand Theft Auto's "Vice City", this one features a recognisable Miami theme.

On this page, we’re going to assess the betting site and analyse the pros and cons, to help you decide whether or not the platform meets your needs. If it does, feel free to use our PuntCity referral code if you are asked to enter one.

Before we move on to analysing the set criteria, we’re going to highlight some of the best features that new customers will encounter on this Australian betting site.

Markets for local Australian races are accompanied by international markets for meetings taking place in New Zealand, Ireland, England, Japan, South Africa, France, the US and the UAE.

“Blended” allows customers of this site to wager on two selections at the same time when they can’t decide who to choose.

Bet on various markets within the same races. This is especially good for those who know what they’re talking about and are looking to boost their potential returns.

When betting on sports, customers can add multiple markets from the same game to a single bet, boosting the potential returns in the same way you can with “Same-Race Multis”.

After you create an account, you’ll get access to promotions that the platform itself describes as “Wild”.

Fans of horse racing are practically guaranteed to be pleased by the offerings that are available to them when it comes to betting on this discipline.

Markets are available for events taking place all around the world, so there’s almost always something to bet on. It’s not just a matter of Win and Place markets, either - some fantastic exotics are available, too.

To help you make informed betting decisions, customers can make use of the many betting features, including flucs, insights, totes, track details, weather information and runner specifics.

As we’ve started to become accustomed to not only with the Cloudbet platforms but Aussie betting sites as a whole, is that they seem to shy away from offering markets for too many different sports categories.

While European and Asian betting sites may offer an average of around 25-30 sports categories, Australian bookies average around half of this number.

The problem with PuntCity is that it offers even fewer, with just 10 sports categories to choose from:

Aussie rules markets aren’t even on the list yet, so we’re hoping the platform plans to add more as soon as possible!

As well as Win and Place markets, racing enthusiasts can wager on several exotic markets, including First Four, Exacta, Quinella and Trifecta.

We won’t go as far as saying it redeems the fact that there are so few sports categories to choose from, but at least the sports that are available do come with a great selection of betting markets. As is common, the more popular the sport, the greater the selection - particularly when it comes to soccer.

Download on the App Store or get it on Google Play, the PuntCity app allows customers to wager on the go from wherever they please, which is particularly helpful given how busy our lives have all become.

On this app, users can check fixtures, place bets, make payments, contact customer services and more.

Another unfortunate trend with Australian betting sites is that they do not see the value in allowing their customers to choose from more payment options than just Visa and MasterCard. Again, this is the case with PuntCity.

If the bookmaker decides to bolster its selection with the likes of POLi, BPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal, for example, we’ll be sure to let you know.

If you run into an issue while you’re betting with PuntCity or you have a suggestion for the site, there are a handful of ways in which you can choose to get into contact with the customer service team.

The first thing to mention is the “ASAP” contact box that opens when you click the “Contact Us” button in the main menu. At the bottom of the box are three tabs, Home, Tickets and Chat. Click the Chat button to start a new conversation, click the Tickets button to send a detailed form query, and click the “Home” button to check in on conversations and ticket responses.

If you’d prefer, you can send an email to them directly instead, using the contact details listed below.
