Luxbet is a relatively new addition to the sports betting industry. It was launched in 2008 and in attempts to gain market share has continuously delivered top promotions and odds to new and existing customers. With its intuitive layout it is ideal for beginners, but the odds will appeal to both newcomers and experienced gamblers. Market selection isn’t phenomenal but unless you’re looking for ‘exotic’ markets then all you need will be accounted for.

Platform
One benefit of being a newcomer is having the ability to witness what betting sites have done previously that has and hasn’t worked. As such, the Luxbet site has really hit the nail on the head in terms of ease of navigation. From the home page you have the choice between ‘sports betting’ and ‘racing betting’ and from there you are very rarely more than two clicks from the event you’re looking for. It seems like a minor detail but when you’re rushing to get that bet on before the start of an event it can be quite stressful trying to locate it – not with Luxbet. The odds are displayed in the centre of the page with excellent clarity so there’s no second guessing on the market you are looking at. Once you have made your selections a betting slip preview will appear on the right hand side and if you wish to carry out the bet as a multi, click ‘Add to Betslip’ and you’ll find yourself at the betslip confirmation page- all fairly intuitive. In terms of customer service, Luxbet provide the usual contact details for email and phone as well as a live chat facility which is very handy when needing to solve an issue as quickly as possible.
Odds
The odds at Luxbet will come in decimal format and are competitive since they are owned and run by Tabcorp. Like other Australian bookies, Luxbet offer a product, LuxDiv, which guarantee punters the best possible odds from the three totes should their bet come in. On the majority of sports you’ll find fixed odds betting being offered while tote odds betting markets are offered on all codes of racing. Luxbet are one of a growing number of bookies who are offering markets on ‘specials’ such as the World Series of Poker, X Factor, Interest Rates and more, so if sports just isn’t quite enough for you then Luxbet can cater for alternatives. They also offer a nice feature ‘Sports Bet of the Day’ which details the five most popular bets on a particular event, the odds of those bets and the percentage of punters choosing to wager on each of these outcomes. It allows you to see whether you’re betting in line with the majority or whether you’re finding your own way to profit.
Mobile Betting
Luxbet offer mobile users a mobile version of the site and will soon be rolling out their mobile app which will be available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices. It has been a long time coming but I’m told it will be with us very soon indeed. Hopefully, like their market entrance, they have delayed the apps release in order to see what the competition have done right and wrong so that they can include the best features on their app.
