PuntNow offers international races with betting options such as same race multi, in racing meets in popular racing countries such as Japan.
There is plenty to love for sports lovers, with over 15 sports to bet on and same game multis with deep stat markets for AFL, NRL, NBA and EPL.
BetNova offers weekly promos (until you become a player that they don't want to give promos to) as well as live chat (during business hours), and Same Game/Race Multis. One interesting thing about Generation Web bookies (like BetNova) is that they aren't geolocked so they still work even when you're on holiday (most corporates and all BetMakers/BetCloud betting sites don't work from overseas). Launched online in 2025, BetNova is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - BetNova is a solid option if you want a new racing bookie. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies NinjaBet is a solid bookmaker with no big drawcards or downsides. They have sports and racing, some futures, Best Tote + SP odds, exotics, live chat and promos.
They don't have live streaming, esports betting, Apple Pay, instant withdrawals or lots of stat markets. Overall, NinjaBet is a solid choice but you can do better. Launched online in 2025, NinjaBet is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - NinjaBet is a good bookie if you haven't tried Generation Web. Features: Same bet sports betting new customer offers Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies DashBet is one of Melbourne bookmaker Da He's many online betting sites (PandaBet, PuntZone, PuntNow, MidasBet, WinnersBet). They're all essentially the same and are built on Generation Web's white-label sportsbook solution.
This has the benefits of technological quality and a breadth of markets that includes 15 or so sports and plenty of domestic and international races. It also means DashBet has both Best Tote + SP odds and Top Fluc prices to compliment their fixed offering. DashBet also offers weekly rewards to loyal players. Launched online in 2025, DashBet is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - Join DashBet for weekly promos. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies PandaBet is very similar to other Generation Web betting sites in Australia. Although PuntNow offers corporate like promos, it is missing corporate like features including live streaming, speed maps, tips and expert insights (racing and sport).

Launched in 2023, Lets Bet is licensed by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission - For a classic Aussie bookie with high-quality bets, let's bet with Lets Bet. Top Fluc on every AU Horse race Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Best of the Best, Same Race Multis, Quaddies HavaBet came to us in August 2023, and is a prime example of a small bookie that is suited for "real" punters, and not so recreational. It is also a very simple betting site making it well suited to rookie punters. HavaBet offers one of all punters favourite tote products, Top Fluc - and on every horse race in Australia. While there is a few other betting sites that do this - HavaBet focuses on fast withdrawals, and has someone processing them every day 9am-9pm.
However, HavaBet does not have any of the flash features you may be used to, like a blackbook and live streaming, and their promos aren't as regular as with other bookies. Launched online in 2023, HavaBet is licensed by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission- Choose HavaBet for a bookie that suits real punters Features: Same Game Multis, Cash Out, Tips, Blog, Protest Payout, Specials Racing Products: Fixed, Best of 3 Totes, Best Tote + SP, Best of the Best, Tote + 5%, Starting Price, Top Fluc, Exotics PlayUp is still available but sometime in mid-2026 it will be shutting down. Even though we like this bookie we'd reccommend it's successor, NextBet, instead. Launched in 2019, but rebranded as NextBet in 2026, PlayUp is licensed by the NT Racing Commission - If you're looking for a new bookie, make it NextBet instead. While we recommend using the Australian bookmakers listed above (in spots 1 through 60), there are plenty of other active online betting sites that you may prefer.
These bookmakers range from good quality sites like Sportsbet and TAB that we have personally had negative experiences with so don't recommend, to much poorer websites that even though they have gambling licences have very limited markets and options. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies OnlyBets is run by the same person behind Betting Services Australia Pty Ltd (BetNow, BetNova, DashBet etc.) as well as WinnersBet, JustBet and PuntNow. Normally this is not normally a massive deal but unfortunately those sites have a poor reputation. Issues include no unique markets/features, a lack of promos, low $2,000 limits on exotics and strict account verification procedures when making bigger withdrawals. On the bright side, OnlyBets' fixed odds prices are actually quite okay. Form Guide Racing Products: Fixed, Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Exotics, Quaddies If PlayUp was a step away from the corporate bookmaker feeling, then WinnersBet is a jump away.
The layout and functionality of the app/sites are top-notch. We appreciate the minimalist look although this also means no extras like social betting or live streaming. PandaBet does have promos for members along with both fixed odds and tote products like Top Fluc and Bets Tote + SP. Launched online in 2025, PandaBet is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - Use PandaBet if you want a simple, racing-focused betting site. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies JustBet is the product of some experienced bookmakers who have been in the game for a long time, and appeal to what the traditional punters want - Top Tote on Aussie horses and racing promos. Launched in 2020, this is a small, Aussie-owned option. With a horse racing focus you'll get best tote odds, fast past the post payouts, and a protest payout for all Australian gallops.
| Event/Season | Typical Free Offer | Participating Bookmakers |
|---|---|---|
| Grand National | Money Back as Cash if 2nd/3rd | Paddy Power, Betfair |
| Champions League Final | Free Bet if Game Goes to Extra Time | Bet365, Unibet |
| Wimbledon | Free Bet on Each Set Won | Ladbrokes, Coral |
| New Year | Deposit Bonus with Free Bets | Most bookmakers |
| Super Bowl | Profit Boost on Prop Bets | BetMGM, DraftKings |
WinnersBet also has a solid selection of international racing markets, futures, and specials.
Don't expect fancy features, heaps of payment options, and even lots of sports betting markets, WinnersBet is not there yet.
While JustBet is better for racing, there is still enough for sports fans to enjoy, with 12+ sports to bet on and same game multis in popular sporting codes such as AFL and NRL. JustBet could improve their racing fixed odds and add some more insights and live streaming - but with Top Tote and Top Promos, we'll still be having a punt with them. Launched online in 2023, JustBet is licensed by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission - Choose JustBet to bet with some experienced Melbourne bookmakers. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Fixed, Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Exotics, Quaddies One of the best betting sites to come out of 2023 and launching on the Generation Web platform, PuntNow has hit the ground running with top promos and plenty of markets. PuntNow offers all Aussie racing with high fixed odds, as well as the option for top tote on all Australian horses. However, you will find quality customer service, generous extras, and high odds for all Australian races and popular global sports events.
Launched online in 2026, OnlyBets is licensed by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission - Use OnlyBets if you really need to. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies BetNow is licensed to the same company (Betting Services Australia Pty Ltd) that has licences for a number of other bookies like BetNova, NinjaBet, PandaBet and PuntZone. This means that these brands are all very similar. It can also mean that if you get promo banned or restricted from one site then the others will have the same restrictions on you. They have all major racing and sports markets and their fixed odds are released the evening before for many bigger meets.
But they're also missing plenty including any extra features, social betting functionality, insights or tips and even speedmaps. Launched online in 2026, BetNow is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - Use BetNow if you haven't signed up with a Generation Web brand yet. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies PuntZone launched just before 2024's Melbourne Cup with a strong catalog of domestic and international sports and racing markets. Expect quality fixed prices, especially opening prices and Best Tote + SP odds on all Australian gallops races. As expected, PuntZone is lacking some payment options, more advanced features like stats, social betting and live streaming but all-round this bookie has all the main markets that Aussie punters bet on - unless you're a table tennis or esports betting fan.
Otherwise, we appreciate the simple design which is powered by Generation Web's betting software so remains fast and intuitive to use as well as the live chat function, somewhat informative FAQ section and of course the same game/race multis (even if your depth of markets here is limited). Launched online in 2024, PuntZone is licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW - Choose PuntZone if you want member specials. Features: Same Game/Race Multis, Form Guide Racing Products: Best Tote + SP, Same Race Multis, Quaddies Decent is an apt way to describe BetNova - they're not awful nor are they exceptional. There's a wide range of racing markets including Fixed and Best Tote + SP prices for the main races every week. Sports are less comprehensive but some player props do exist.
