VolcanoBet Review

Somewhat ironically, VolcanoBet and its prehistoric theme featuring cavemen and dinosaurs is one of Australia's most modern-looking sites, with sleek, sterling graphics that help it shine brighter than many of its tame and tedious template-based competitors.

With various exciting features like Same-Game Multis that can be accessed via desktop or the dedicated mobile app, this Australian betting service is perfectly capable of helping you “cave into the excitement”.

In this extensive review of the betting service, we aim to help you get a perfect overview of the site by individually analysing each of its main components. This will certainly be enough to help you decide whether or not to register.

If you do decide to register, then, before you do so, you could well be interested in knowing about the latest referral code, which can be used to optimise your initial betting experience on the platform.

VolcanoBet is an authorised bookmaker that has a bookmaking registration granted by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission of Australia. Additionally, it holds membership in the Victorian Bookmakers Association.

In addition, it should be noted that VolcanoBet has a club bookmaker's licence that has been duly authorised by Racing Victoria Limited.

Prior to delving into the conventional set of criteria used for the evaluation and comparison of each betting site, it is important to underscore the key qualities of the site that may pique your interest.

These aspects include a combination of the components emphasised by the website and the elements that we perceive to be its most notable strengths:

VolcanoBet allows its customers to create Same-Game Multis, which can be a great way to boost your odds and show off your sporting knowledge.

This feature is available on all sporting events which have the orange “SGM” symbol alongside them. Just open the event’s list of markets and toggle from “all markets” to “same-game multi” towards the top of the page, and then start adding markets to the multi.

Live Chat features are always welcome since they are the fastest way to get help from customer services whenever it is required.

Deposit Limits allow you to limit the amount of money you can deposit within a set timeframe, helping you stay in control of your spending and avoid chasing losses.

At the top of every page, you’ll notice countdown timers which let you know which races are coming up. At VolcanoBet, you can even filter these events by race type and region, so that you never miss a race you were planning to wager on.

“Promo codes” may be a thing of the past now that enticing new customers through incentives is illegal in Australia, but you can still find referral codes, which will speed up and optimise your sign-up experience.

The latest referral code for VolcanoBet Australia is BETSAU.

If the site offers any promotions to all customers, they will be visible once you’ve created an account and signed in.

By default, the large toggle in the top left-hand corner of the page is set to Racing when you first log in. This is why you can see upcoming and featured races in the centre of the screen.

To switch between and find markets for a particular race type, you can click on either “Thoroughbreds”, “Greyhounds” or “Harness” in the main navigation menu.

Markets can be found for “Next To Jump”, “Today”, “Tomorrow” and “Futures”, and, to help you make informed decisions, you have access to tools like Flucs and runner information.

As well as racing markets, sports betting markets can be found for any of 13 different sports, including the following:

In terms of racing bet types and markets, punters can choose to wager on Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, Trifecta and First Four.

In alternative sports, the number of markets is usually proportionate to the popularity of the sport, with soccer and Aussie Rules offering the greatest number of possibilities.

If you prefer to bet on the go or simply prefer using a more portable device than your desktop PC, you can download the VolcanoBet application from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

On this dedicated application, you can bet on racing and sports, make payments and contact customer services. In fact, you can do anything you would be able to do on desktop.

In what is one of a few downsides to using this betting site, you’re fairly limited when it comes to making deposits and withdrawals.

The only two payment methods that are accepted by this site are Visa and MasterCard and while most Aussies do have access to these options, we always like to see some more alternatives.

If you’ve run into a problem with the VolcanoBet service or you have a question or suggestion, the best way to get in contact with the customer service team is through the Live Chat feature, which may not be available 24/7, but there’s a good chance it’ll be available when you need it.

This chat function can be accessed by clicking “Contact Us” towards the bottom of the panel on the left-hand side of the page.

Alternatively, you can send an email through the integrated form, which can also be found within the “Contact Us” section of the site.
