SportsBet

Overall Impression

SportsBet is a bookmaker based out of Australia and has been in operation since 1993. In 2009, Paddy Power invested in the sportsbook. SportsBet is licensed by the Northern Territory Racing Commission (NTRC) and offers its customers a variety of betting options. The homepage is easy to read and lists the sports in alphabetical order. The suggestion box jumps out at you right away. Customers are made to feel like their input is valued and appreciated. Everyone wants the added confidence of being registered with a bookmaker that values your opinion.

Placing Your Bets

SportsBet offers betting options on all the major international sporting events including basketball, football, baseball, boxing, rugby and soccer and others such as mixed martial arts, surfing, swimming and volleyball. You can even place bets on the current affairs, finances, Hollywood, the Olympics, politics and several other unique lines.

Navigating the site is very easy to do. Once a line is selected, you can narrow things down further by choosing a league. A nice feature is the moving bet slip. As you scroll down to view all the odds and betting options, your bet slip moves with you. You can easily keep track of your wagers and add or remove as necessary as well as minimize your bet slip. It’s a handy little feature that saves time from scrolling up and down when you need to get your bet in immediately.

When in doubt, punters have access to the FAQ’s which contain information regarding online betting among other things. New punters also have the added feature of accessing a helpful section dedicated specifically to them with tips and tricks to online betting with a sportsbook.

Conveniently, SportsBet offers a mobile casino as well.
